Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We waited a week for HRNSW to say something before we told you what we knew about Michael Muscat’s positive swab, but there was a wall of silence, so a couple of days ago we gave up and ran the story. The very next day Harness Racing NSW announced what we’d known since Xmas, and […]
The fish and chips shop at Doubtless Bay When the six-time Group 1 winning superstar Bling It On broke the track record at Goulburn in January last year he ran his last half in 55 seconds, going pretty much as fast as he could. On Monday at Goulburn a rating 70 pacer named Doubtless Bay […]
Here is Adam Fairley again, owning a winner at Newcastle last night. The co-owner Fleur De Lil Trust is Luke and Belinda McCarthy. Belinda McCarthy trains the horse. How could an active business partner of the McCarthy’s – and make no mistake, racing is a business – possibly possess the independence of mind and thought […]
Cameron Davies. Jack Callaghan. Jack Trainor. All three caught it at Menangle, and each has been in both close and casual contact with a large number and wide range of other harness racing participants. Poor buggers, at Christmas and all. We extend our thoughts to them and our wishes for a speedy recovery, and hope […]

Those known to have contracted it to date are Inter Dominion winning trainer Jason Grimson, leading driver Cameron Hart, junior driver Will Rixon, and the Menangle farrier, a fellow named Judd. It is believed that Hart caught the disease […]
There is nothing like a totally impartial unbiased Director of a Principal Racing Association is there? Anyone in NSW know where we might find one? Not here, that’s for sure.
We’ve received a large volume of correspondence relating to our story yesterday about former HRNSW official Adam Fairley being soon to appointed to replace Craig Meagher on the board of the organisation. No-one who has contacted us is in favour of the appointment. What we have been told is that while Fairley was a senior […]
The former Kiwi pacer Nerano has had six starts since coming across the ditch. It’s won them all, and done it in brilliant fashion too. That’s why is was so surprising that there was no money for it in race 4 at Wagga on Tuesday night. There was plenty of money for So Much Bettor, […]
