Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Want to see a team driven race fix? Bridgetown in WA, wherever the hell that is, race 7. Trainer Ryan Bell has two in the race. One of them is Hillview Bondi, the favourite drawn in 1 that has blown from $1.12 to $1.25. Bell drives it. The other is number 6 Sound Wave, that […]
John ‘Lurch’ Dunn and his mates from Woodend Beach are hotter than Carl William’s crew were back in the gangland war days. They don’t shoot or kill anybody, but they sure do rob people blind. Just have a captain cook at this race will you? Bob ‘But But’ Butt trains and drives the 1 horse, […]
Harness racing in the South Island of New Zealand is on the nose, and the smell is so bad that the stench floats all the way across to the Great Barrier Reef. It’s not global warming that is killing the coral, it’s drug cheating and race fixing coming out of Woodend Beach. Race 4 at […]
Are these South Australian harness racing Stewards (a) absolute morons; (b) wilfully ignorant; (c) corrupt and in on the joke; or (d) all of the above? Based on the evidence of long observation I have come to the conclusion that they must be one or more of these things, for the poor decisions they make […]
If the Stewards don’t raise questions about the running of race 7 last night at Menangle, then we might as well lock up the integrity office, turn off the lights, and throw the keys in the Nepean River. This race was off like prawns left six days in the sun. Luke – sorry, Belinda – […]
Hot on the heels of the successful appeals against their criminal convictions by harness trainer/drivers Nathan Jack and Mark Pitt, another less high profile Victorian race fixing prosecution has last week collapsed. Victoria Police’s sporting integrity intelligence unit had in 2019 charged trainer/driver Robert Walters with two offences relating to race-fixing in Shepparton on 17 […]
Watch the start of the Lightning again. Profiteer jumped sideways and smashed Nature Strip. Or at least that is what we are told. It looks to me like Brett Prebble deliberately jumped the roughie out and steered it straight to his left into the even money favourite’s path, and that Nash Rawiller – who was […]
Twelve days ago Secret King got beaten by 10 and 1/2 lengths in a maiden at Toowoomba. The start before that he got beaten 7.2 lengths in one at Kilcoy, and the run prior to that he ran 9th of 11 beaten ten lengths at Rocky. Yesterday he stepped out in the 2nd race 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 […]
There were six Stewards on duty at the Ipswich gallops yesterday. God only knows why, for a single monkey would have sufficed. A horse named Buddy’s Tale was backed from $41 into $16 in race three. The plunge was a mystery to all – until the race was run anyway – for its form read […]
