https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/vic/ECC31052209.mp4 Ben ‘Chainsaw’ Yole brought two horses all the way from Tasmania last night to race in the 9th at Echuca. One was Machavelli, a 7-year-old rating 37 mare who had won 5 of her 43 starts in the Apple Isle over the past 2 seasons. She was drawn in the one gate and driven by […]
We come to race 8 at Gloucester Park last night. The favourite is 2-1 on in the old parlance, or $1.50 in today’s language. A horse named Alcippes Delight, who was drawn on the outside of the back row, was backed from $13.00 into $4.80 to beat it. One guess who owns Alcippes Delight, or […]

The other two of his were the two in black and white colours, the $11 shot Armchair Drive, and the $1.60 favourite Champagne Party. The […]
Note one very important thing. There is no mention by the Stewards that Luke O’Neill also trained the two that he deliberately let through. Why not? Yeah, why not? Oh, and note one more important thing. Race fixing isn’t just a rule breach offence any more. It’s a crime. The Stewards inquired into the circumstances […]
The biggest plunge seen at the WA trots for a long time landed last night on race 7 at Gloucester Park. Rolling Fire was the horse’s name, and it was backed from $81 into $10. It should have been too. This race was a boatie. For the uninitiated, a boatie means the raced was fixed. […]
Okay, you’ve heard what Jimmy Jacques had to say, and what he says the Chief Steward said. Everything is sweet. Bien Hoa jumped in fright at his own spit and knocked over one of the top 3 in the market. It was all sweet. Graham Loch said so. And they expect us to believe this […]
In 50 years of harness racing I have never seen a more blatant race fix that the one pulled in the first at Globe Derby. It was absolutely disgraceful, and you know what? Almost everyone was in on it. At the very minimum four drivers were – Michael A Smith, Dani Hill, Wayne Hill, and […]
