Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
On behalf of the Square Trotters of SA, we would like to extend our deepest condolences to the Trevean family on the passing of past President and Life Member Reg Trevean. Reg fought a long and courageous 16-month battle with cancer. Last year, the family chose to celebrate Christmas in July, fearing he might not […]
Husband and wife team Wayne and Samantha Hill were at it again last night at Globe Derby, it being team driving one for the other. It happened in race 7. Wayne Hill was on the $1.75 favorite La Moth. Samantha was on the $5.50 third favorite Alive and Free. Alive and Free went to the […]
I didn’t realise they ran the Gawler dogs at the Birdwatchers Bar. This appeared in the state-wide South Australian newspaper. Cracker.
Take a look at race 8 at Globe Derby on Monday afternoon and keep your eye on Deadline, the horse in the death. Did its driver Kevin Weidenbach go for home a lap too early? It sure looked like it. The Stewards saw it differently. They said the horse choked down. Maybe it did, maybe […]
Former SA harness racing licensee Kerry Brown is a wanted man. Wanted by the Stewards that is. Last week Brown failed to remain – i.e. walked out of – a Stewards inquiry into why he was driving one of trainer Rebecca Geurds pacers in trackwork when he doesn’t have a license permitting him to do […]
What the hell was Mark Zahra thinking on Giga Kick in the Goodwood? He took it straight out to the rear after the start from the wide barrier 12, and probably didn’t have much choice. But Zahra certainly did have a choice about when he made his run on Giga Kick and he left it […]
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. When the field settled early Twixten landed in the 1-1 on the back of Gaita Pullicino’s horse Ima Destroyer, with Alleyes […]
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 […]
