Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Watch John Dunn cheat at the start in the last race at Addington tonight. He did it right under the Stewards noses too. Everyone is supposed to start off the same mark off the stand. Lurch clearly took a fly. How was A Bettor Act not disqualified? The stipes must have been staring up at […]
We’ve got two horse races going on here! And one of them has only got one horse in it! – Addington race caller Johnny Cox is a very experienced harness racing driver. He has been in the sulky for a long time now, and has thousands of drives, and at this point of time averages […]
New Zealand trainer Trudy Keegan, for reasons of her own, is unvaccinated against COVID-19. That is her choice, but it means that she is not allowed to put others at risk by attending the races.

Boxing matches, tennis finals, rugby tests, footy finals, horse races, sex with Maggie, it doesn’t matter. Watching the best of the best go at each other one on […]
In a sensation, but not a surprise, a week before the court was due to make a determination regarding the admissibility of the phone tap and surveillance evidence obtained by police and RIU (Racing Integrity Unit) investigators in the long running Operation Inca taskforce investigation into race fixing, all the charges have been dropped. Don’t […]
These drug cheats in racing are nothing but a stain on our sport, and shit on our shoe. NZ harness Robert Dunn and his son John are primary among them. The Dunn’s – who use the name of John’s wife on their license, even though she can’t hopple up a horse, just so that they […]
Here is another fascinating Steve Dolan/John Curtin combo pacer. This time the horse is not sired by Auckland Reactor, but by his father Mach Three instead. Same line, same genes, same blood, same cells, once removed. Tall Poppy is this pacers name. The other differences are that she is a mare, and that Steve Dolan […]
