Gawlker
I didn’t realise they ran the Gawler dogs at the Birdwatchers Bar. This appeared in the state-wide South Australian newspaper. Cracker.
Did Kevin Weidenbach Lose Count of the Laps?
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 […]
Where in the World is Kerry Brown?
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 […]
Not Good Enough on Giga Kick M. Zahra
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 Wayne and Sammy Hill Show – Episode 2
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 […]
Is It Any Wonder Harness Racing Integrity in South Australia is a Joke
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 […]
The HRSA CEO Leaves the Building
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 […]
Globe Derby Leader Retires
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 […]
APG’s Adelaide Yearling Sale is a Flop
Australian Pacing Gold (APG) returned to Adelaide for the first time in a long time yesterday to hold a standardbred yearling sale. The way the sale went they might have been better off staying at home. Only 29 lots were presented for sale, and of these only 17 sold. Given that at least half a […]
Trouble in Paradise
Archie Your track at Albion park looks super. But has Mr Seymour looked at the shite track down here at Globe Derby? We are having horses break down every day. Peta from Paradise 5075
