Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This is Menangle this morning. The flood levels are predicted to rise before the fall. “We can’t race on a half mile track” the trainers scream. What do they race the Little Brown Jug on fellas? You know, the world’s most famous race, the one that all the greats win. Forbes Chief, Tar Heel, Adios […]
Queanbeyan’s finest 5 star hotel It was a big day out for the Racing NSW officials at downtown Queanbeyan yesterday, that’s for sure. As hard as it is to believe, they actually made the QRIC mob up north of the Tweed look good. First up they hauled ten professional riders into the dunnies and made […]
“Amateur” – PVL stares down Alligator Al, and tells it how it is This is the rule that egotistical Allan Endrez claims that Peter V’Landys introduced just to get him. Like most things that Alligator Al says and does, it is bullshit. Here is the one that’s got him, and it’s all his fault. (9) […]
I have been banging on about hocking in NSW harness racing for months now. It’s for a good reason, many of them in fact. Hocking is the practice of kicking your horse in the back of the leg to propel it forward, the purpose being to inflict pain on the horse to tell it not […]
Take a look at this disgraceful piece of abhorrent animal abuse inflicted on the horse Comet Crusader by its driver Blake Hughes in the 2nd heat of the NSW Derby last Saturday week.

Muscle Bart started favourite in a semi-final of the VicBred Super Series five starts back. It’s easy to see why. He didn’t beat much at Newcastle yesterday, but gee he beat them well. This is one seriously good horse, and he is still only a rating 43. I’d hate to be racing against him as […]
It seems that a certain leading driver in Sydney has taken a sudden interest in Swedish affairs. We are not sure whether he has mixed up the blue and yellow flags of the Ukraine and Sweden, or whether he been dazzled by the bright blonde light, but one thing is for certain. A certain Melbourne […]
King Kulafu’s got rainbows on the soles of his feet Tamworth pacer King Kulafu is owned by my great mate the Boxer, the former heavyweight champion of NSW, and a one-time contender for the Australian title back when the man who twice went the distance with Ali, the incomparable Joe Bugner, owned it. The King […]
PBD/Sex means preferential draw based on gender, not how many times you get it away At a time when a storm is raging in world sport about whether gender neutral and trans athletes should be allowed to compete in the male or female sporting category of their choice, Harness Racing NSW has elected to do […]
I am joking. I think. Suspensions in NSW don’t really happen, they are just fictions on paper. Robbie Morris copped 28 days in the first round of ID21 late last year, and hasn’t served a second of it. Jack Trainor was given 21 days a fortnight ago, and he is still driving. Aaron Dunn will […]
