One state has leapt to action in response to a shocking video which shows racing animals being abused by a trainer. On Monday, South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas announced an inquiry into the culture and practices within the state’s greyhound racing industry. It comes as just weeks after the ABC obtained footage of a man […]
The South Australian harness racing Stewards – who are generally regarded across the industry as the least competent in the land – have imposed the most draconian penalty on well respected long-time trainer Lou Trotta that have been seen for a long time, if ever. Trotta has been directed that for the next 18 months, […]

Lisa Rasmussen loves her dogs does she? Blokes who batter their wives tell them that they love them while they are bleeding to. What you have seen on the ABC video tells you everything you need to know. The only good news is that the Rasmussen’s won’t have any dogs to ‘love’ after today. Or […]
Tony Rasmussen is South Australia’s leading greyhound trainer. I doubt that he will be for much longer. You’re about to see Tony on the news. It won’t be pretty viewing. Goddamn ugly actually. Remember that you heard it hear first.
Dear Industry On behalf of HRSA I’m pleased to advise TAB market share for Harness Racing in South Australia will increase this financial year (FY24) for the first time in almost a decade. The new rate of market share is 8.248% (up from 6.906%) which equates to 19.432% growth Year on Year (YoY). This represents […]
