Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
For reasons known only to the South Australians the photo-finish camera wasn’t working for the first two races at Friday’s meeting at Bordertown. As a result the Stewards ruled that the judge would determine the placings by eye. That became a whole lot harder than it might have been when two runners crossed the finish […]
Race 1 at Gawler yesterday served as another demonstration of the ineptness of the people currently running harness racing in South Australia, and why they need a good kick up the arse. Or so it seemed anyway. The race was a 2yo trot. Now anyone who has been around the trots for five minutes or […]
Long-term subscribers to this site will remember the case of the ring-in at Globe Derby in September 2021, when one horse from the Shane Loone stable was substituted for another in a race, and then the ringer went out and set the race up for another Loone horse by attacking the leader and favorite in […]

I hold accreditation as an authorised member of the racing media issued by Racing Queensland. I write in relation to the ongoing investigation being conducted into the substitution of one Shane Loone trained horse LETS GO […]
Dear Mr. Butterfly Thank you for reaching out to HRSA. May I point out this has not been a common practice by you in the past with a number of abhorrent, false, and misleading stories published by yourself in relation to South Australian harness racing in recent times. Shame on you. If you would like […]
The Naomi Kerr trained Prioritise eased out in the market from $1.60 out to $3.40 in the 5th race at Port Pirie last night, which seemed odd for a pacer that had won its past three on end at the stronger class track in Mildura. It didn’t take long to find out why it blew […]
Globe Derby was shut down for racing on the 1st of July when work began on remediating the track. It was supposed to be a relatively simple exercise. Lift a couple of inches off the top of the surface and put down a new one, and build a 628 meter training track in the infield […]
SA Racing CEO Vaughn Lynch’s statement about the abandonment of the Bordertown races debacle on Sunday raises far more questions than it does provide answers. The Bordertown meeting was due to kick off with race 1 scheduled to jump at 12.40 pm. It was not cancelled until 2.00pm, ten minutes after the scheduled start time […]
19th August 2024 On behalf of Racing SA I would like to offer the industry a sincere apology for the events pertaining to yesterday’s abandoned meeting at Bordertown. The decision not to race at Bordertown yesterday was the correct decision given the state of track after heavy rain. However, Racing SA should have made this […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/sa/GDC08072409.mp4 Bloody hell, is this track at Gawler the wild west or something? Driver Tiana McMahon gets thrown out of the cart in the first lap in an incident that disrupts most 0f the field. No clerk of the course comes out to catch the driverless horse, which proceeds to go around for the rest […]
