Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Archie Talk from at Globe Derby today. They have said that they are going back to proper standing starts in a few weeks, not the walk ups for everyone to cheat… They are also lining it up with the return of the auto release standing start system lol. Turns out they read Archie’s stories after […]
Hi mate About the standing starts at Globe Derby. The best part or all is that the people they use for standing starts are not “track attendants”. They are harness racing participants that club officials asks to help while walking around the stalls, e.g. trainers or drivers. Ella Brechin is one trainer they commonly get […]
We know that Harness Racing SA can’t get their constituent principal club Globe Derby to effect standing starts correctly in a 21st century manner. Just as we know their Stewards are spineless jellyfish who can’t or won’t crack down hard to stop drivers from playing a dangerous game of rollerball on the track. Or stop […]
The standing start in the picture at the top is race 1 at Port Pirie on Wednesday. Port Pirie is a country track. Note that the starter is standing high on the top of the rostrum where he has a clear view of all the horses at the start. And that there is no human […]

Archie After my email to you last week whereby a made myself a promise not to bet on SA harness because of the debacle concerning the trotters cup over there, last night I thought I would tune in to see if there had been any improvement since you published your story. Well the answer is […]
Watch the horse drawn 2 on the front in the pink and blue with the white cap. See it gallop like a mad thing? It keeps galloping and finished tailed out 263m last. The horse is Our Spitfire. The same horse that Ted wrote about last week. That one who galloped wildly for a lap […]
Hello Archie On your story re no longer betting on Harness racing apart from major /group 1 races, I totally share your thoughts. I follow Victorian and SA harness racing and I am done with South Australia. I have been banging on about the lack of professionalism or corruption over there for years now, and […]
Remember the story we told you during the week about how SA driver Ryan Hyhorec appeared to abuse and make aggressive gestures toward the driver of his stablemate Dani Hill after the runners had crossed the line in last Saturday night’s Port Pirie Cup? We wrote that it would be interesting to see the Stewards […]
Take a look at the after the post replay of the Port Pirie Cup last Saturday night. Ryan Hryhorec is the driver of the horse in the red, black and white. Danielle Hill drives the horse in the yellow, white stars, pink sleeves and blue cap. Both horses are trained by Hryhorec. What the hell […]
