Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]

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 […]
There were six starters in race one at Gloucester Park last night. Donald Harper trained three of them. One was backed like there was no tomorrow. It was drawn 2, and lead easy. Its stablemate slipped into the death, and the other stablemate jagged its back in the 1-1. Game over. Except for one thing. […]
