See this horse purchased for $25 000 at the yearling sales in Auckland last year? It is the same one being syndicated here for $120.00 per 1/1000th share by the Canary, a stooge merchant named Andrew Fitzgerald who runs an unauthorised syndication company called Off N Racing. https://www.offnracing.co.nz/product/124/lot-44-father-patrick-daenerys-targaryen/ That price values the $25 000 horse […]
Maurice McKendry was a wonderful driver over a long number of years, but all roads end except those to nowhere and I reckon his has. The man they call Magic drove the dual NZ Cup winner Copy That in a race that he should have won at Alexandra Park on Friday night, and got it […]
Harness Racing New Zealand moved offices yesterday. The organisation’s planning for the move was of such a brilliant standard that it decided to shut its computer system down for the day while it moved, affecting licensees and punters across 3 continents.

We wrote earlier about the dearth of Free For All class pacers in the North Island of New Zealand, and how it is indicative of a real problem within the sport. The problems seem to be here in the deep south of the South Island too, places like Invercargill where this Friday’s 8 race program […]
Once upon a time NZ Free For All racing in the north island featured fields full of the highest class horses in the land. Now due to the mass outflow of horses sold or transferred to Australia it has come to this. A five horse field for a $20 000 FFA, with one horse – […]
I have been telling your for a year and a half that Sharp ‘N’ Smart was a champion, from even before he had his first start. Well it turns out I was right. Now it’s official. In a vintage year of New Zealand racing and racehorses, Sharp ‘N’ Smart is the best of them all. […]
This above is the Stewards report from Addington on the 1st of September. The Stewards were going to talk to driver Korbyn Newman about his whip use. They must have forgotten. He’s still waiting. What’s that about integrity? It means keeping your word? Nah never. Not in New Zealand. Go the All Blacks!
