Ki te kahore he whakakitenga ka ngaro te iwi. Without foresight or vision, the people will be lost – I think we are in New Zealand Racing right now, I really do

The NZ Harness Racing Owners Federation (NZHROF) has quite properly raised concerns about two licensed participants being allowed to continue to work in the industry at a time that they are separately and jointly facing charges of indecent (sexual) assault against a victim who most the industry are aware is also an industry participant.

The Great Lie, and the Great Liars – Allow Me to Let You in on a Dirty Little Secret – It Was Adrenalin in That Needle

This is absolute and utter bullshit too. Cam Jones is lying through his teeth. The Canary – the unlicensed syndicator Andrew Fitzgerald – is too.

When’s the last time they ever high-fived a Prime Minister hey? Or gave the Chairman of the Auckland Trotting Club […]

The Stewards panel on the night of the dubious drive was Steve Mulcay (Chairman), Keith Coppins, Ben Van Zan and Adrian Dooley.
