Harry Ovens was backed as if unbeatable in the 3rd race at Globe Derby tonight. When old Jakes Sportwriter went to the front and planted Harry stranded on his back the plunge looked lost. And then this happened. Did the junior driver Declan Whelan simply stuff up by making a mistake? Probably. But gee it […]
South Australian harness racing is on the up and up, and is absolutely flying. That’s the guts of the message that HRSA CEO sent out to industry participants last week. Few believe it. Look at the TAB meeting at Mt Gambier last night to see why. There were 6 races on the card, but only […]
Jakes Sportswriter is ten-year old veteran pacer who coming into last night’s Globe Derby meeting hadn’t run a place at its past ten starts, many if not most of them in lower grade races than the one it contested here. The Shane Loone trained old boy had been beaten 72.2m at Port Pirie at it’s […]

What you see above is the message sent out to participants by Harness Racing SA explaining the cancellation of last night’s Globe Derby meeting. It’s a load of horse manure. There had only been 14mm of rain fall on the track at the time the meeting was cancelled, bugger all in harness racing terms, and […]

Guess how many members there are of the SA Harness Racing Club, the association that runs Globe Derby? 135. Guess how many voted in the election held over the past couple of weeks for members of the club committee? 99. What this means is that the club that holds more than $18 million in property […]
