Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Racing is mourning the passing of Mrs Susan Harley on Friday, 22 December 2023. Mrs Harley and her husband Gary have been iconic figures, the Harley name synonymous with racing and sports media in NSW, particularly in the Hunter Valley and Newcastle regions. Sue was Gary’s backstop in the media business, assisting in prepping all […]
Remember Nic Me Some, the horse we told you last week that we reckoned jockey Dale Evans pulled up at Mackay? Well the same horse stepped out at the same track over the same distance today, got backed for a stack and won. Evans didn’t ride it. Funny that. Things aren’t looking real good for […]

Two leading trainers and another racing licensee are said to have recorded themselves having group sex with an 18-year-old employee of a major stud.
