Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Australian Turf Club has put two questions for its members to vote on. These two questions are, in essence, should the ATC (a) Sell Rosehill to the NSW government? (b) Replace Rosehill with a new Group 1 quality racecourse. Simple questions really, but multi-layered with complexity. For a start the phrase Group 1 racecourse […]
The Minns government has abandoned plans for a complete rebuild of Penrith Stadium after discovering the cost of delivering the project had more than tripled. The government will still spend $309 million on refurbishing the Penrith Panthers’ home ground, but a wholesale rebuild on a neighbouring site has been abandoned. Instead, the Herald has confirmed the government […]
Penrith Stadium will likely undergo a major refurbishment but won’t be knocked down and re-built. The Weekender can reveal Labor will deliver on its $309 million election commitment to the stadium, but that figure won’t be enough to cover a complete redevelopment. Panthers are preparing for the refurbishment to take place in 2025 but will […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/PEC25012305.mp4 Cameron Hart won last year’s NSW Driver’s Premiership. Which means you should have been able to expect a whole lot more that he gave you in the 3rd race at Penrith on Wednesday evening. Hart was driving the $2.10 favorite My Buzz Lightning. You would almost swear he was driving it to lose. The […]
It’s well known by now that the local MP Stuart Ayres and his man the NSW Premier want to resume the land on which the Penrith Paceway currently races and turn it into a new stadium for the Panthers. What is less known is the Penrith Harness Racing Club’s position on the whole thing, and […]

That’s just a smokescreen of course. What this is really about is the Government taking the trots land to give […]
Said …. Said …. Said …. That you shouldn’t count your chickens before they hatch. The new Panthers stadium is no certainty at all. PVL has really pissed Perrottet off. The trots at Penrith might be going nowhere at all. Free apartment dreams are made to be broken. Watch this space.
The Western Australian Trotting Association (WATA) owns the Gloucester Park raceway. GP stand on approximately 14.4 hectares of land, although 2.2 hectares of it is owned by the Crown. Yesterday the WATA announced plans to sell just under 6 hectares of it – all on the Swan riverside -to a property developer called Hesperia. How […]
There is something that makes me feel very uneasy about the whole Penrith Trots land being resumed by the Government to build a super stadium for the Panthers thing, and it is not just PVL’s stoush with the Premier over the other 3 new stadiums that have been canned, although I have a feeling that […]
