Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The suspect race at Globe Derby on Monday wasn’t Wayne and Samantha Hill’s first team driving rodeo. They pulled another one at the same track 9 days before. In this one Mr Hill drove the $3.50 shot Fly The Banner, drawn barrier 5, and Mrs Hill drove Alive And Free, which was $4.80 in the […]
Wayne and Samantha Hill (pictured above) https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/sa/GDC28042510.mp4 Trainer Samantha Hill had two runners in race 9 at Globe Derby yesterday. Hill drove the 2nd favorite Alleyes, her husband Wayne Hill drove the favorite Twixten.

We received the news this week that Harness Racing South Australia CEO Dean Elliott has resigned to go and work for Ladbrokes, in a role much better suited to his skill set than being the number one man. Not everyone is cut out to captain the A-Grade team, so you can’t hold that against the […]
Long time Globe Derby President Anne Mowday (pictured) has announced her retirement from the role. Mrs Mowday proved a tough nut to crack when it came to repeated attempts by Harness Racing SA to seize control of the club and its assets. Former HRSA CEO Fiacchi tried and spectacularly failed, and the current CEO Dean […]

Hi Peter, What a day yesterday at the Victor Harbour trots. After the start of the first race half the crowd stationed on the fence had to have their eyes rinsed out due to all the dust from the track, and some drivers needed GPS guidance assistance to find their way up the home straight. […]
With no Albion Park last night we thought we’d turn our attention to the betting fluctuations at Globe Derby, where there have been some significant plunges come off lately. Some good bets were landed again last night, most significantly on the first winner Trigger which was backed from double figures into $5.00, the 4th race […]
You need to watch this one twice to get it. The back marker is a horse called Efficiently, trained and driven by a small-timer named Des Nolan, with whom I am not familiar. He certainly doesn’t drive much, or I would be. I’m not sure if it was Nolan’s money or others, but Efficiently has […]
