Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
In 50 years of harness racing I have never seen a more blatant race fix that the one pulled in the first at Globe Derby. It was absolutely disgraceful, and you know what? Almost everyone was in on it. At the very minimum four drivers were – Michael A Smith, Dani Hill, Wayne Hill, and […]
I don’t know what to say about the standard of South Australian stewarding, or at least nothing that I haven’t said a million times before. Look at the decisions in these three races in a row at Globe Derby this week, and you make up your own mind. Stewards inquired into an incident near the […]
Adelaide trainer Chris Bieg is set to face court in October after he was granted bail at Christies Beach Magistrates Court on Friday. Bieg, who is facing 12 serious charges which are not related to racing, had been remanded in custody earlier this week, but was successful in his bail application on Friday morning. His […]
A well-known horse trainer is standing trial accused of strangling, kicking, punching and stomping on a former partner he initially met via an online messaging application to pay for sex. Christopher Bieg, 37, of Camden Park first met the woman in mid-2019 before the pair became “exclusive” in about August of the same year. Opening […]
Jayson Adams is a former SA trot trainer who was arrested last year in the major drug bust that brought harness racing owner Andrew Benz, and trainer/driver/club official Jonathon Kingston-Mayne unstuck. To all appearances Adams for years lived the life of a clean cut, hard working family man. He was living a lie. They say […]
There were ten horses pre-race swabbed at Globe Derby on Saturday night. Four of the blood tests were taken across three races. The other six were taken from every runner in the last race on the card, a standing start trot race run at 10.21pm. Pure genius it was, so bloody clever that no-one in […]
Super Mario copped a 14 day suspension for his drive (in the video pictured above). It looks to us like he had plenty of room and was entitled to move over. What seems to have happened is that the driver of the horse that he crossed was the one who caused the interference to the horse […]
Paul Courts from Trot Guide reported that the shameful and extremely distressing armed robbery of the pokie room at Globe Derby a couple of weeks ago netted the machete wielding grub who pulled it off a few thousand dollars. Brazen thief robs Trotting Club I’d like to buy land off Courts, for our mail is […]
Remember we told you last week about the $101 into $2.90 plunge landed at Globe Derby on a Phil Westbury trained pacer? Well here’s two in a week. On Saturday night a horse named Run For Stikka was backed from $61 into $19 to win and land another big plunge. Run For Stikka, like Westbury’s […]
This is the Stewards Report from the race at Balaklava in SA on Wednesday afternoon where the stipes ordered that the race be started despite a horse being cast under the stalls. It’s become apparent that our information about a reindeer was wrong, and we apologise to those concerned for our error, and any reputational […]
