Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Queensland jockey Jackson Morris was yesterday suspended from race riding for 4 months for failing an on-course breath test at the Ballina races on Boxing Day. Morris’s case is near identical to Day’s. Both men arrived at work (the racecourse) with alcohol still on their systems, both were directed to participate in random breath testing, […]

Nikolic (Cadet Steward) General In light of the decision of the HRV Stewards to disqualify Captain Hammerhead from its win in the Shepparton Cup due to David Moran’s hocking, HRNSW opened an inquiry into the win […]
Archie Hopefully HRNSW insured against the bonus being won, and the insurer didn’t know about “Grimson” when they set the premium………. Set aside the integrity concerns with the Grimson camp and provided the bonus is paid for by insurance the 5 event Carnival of Cups has been a good promotion and if Grimson is going […]
Hi mate I am so glad you put up the story that Swayzee should be in the retention barn 6 days before Cup run for this stupid 1 million bonus. Whoever at HRNSW that thought up the idea of the bonus payments should be sacked. But there should now be a real pressure campaign aimed […]

Harness racing returns to Menangle tonight after a near 3-week absence, and it’s about bloody time too. I realize that HRNSW have been doing this ill-conceived shutdown of racing at headquarters over the Xmas for a few years now, but just because something is familiar doesn’t mean that it’s right. It’s not. Shifting metropolitan class […]
Nathan ‘Cracker’ Jack is probably feeling anything but crackerjack after copping a 9 month disqualification after throwing a pair of positive swabs to Levamisole on NSW soil, both with the same Kiwi import (name – Skinnydip) in races run 2 weeks apart, and 6-8 weeks after the horse arrived in Australia.
