Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We published a story earlier stating that Simon McMullen was one of the licensees who threw a positive swab in random tests at the track a few weeks ago. Simon’s missus got in tough to accuse us of making things up about her man. As we politely told her in not so many words, why […]
Nathan Delany is one of the young drivers who returned a positive personal swab to dope a few weeks back, dope meaning pot/cannabis/marijuana/weed/pot/ganga/green.

We don’t know what substances they returned the positives to, but one of the drivers involved is Zev Meredith, who we gave a big wrap on this site for his driving […]
