Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The picture you see is of the Wayne Yole trained pacer Swimintheriver, who won the 8th race at Launceston last night. Those injuries to the horses neck are made by a rein burr, also known as a rein pricker. Their use is a disgrace in my opinion, but to be legal under the rules they […]
By Nick Clark Worksafe Tasmania is investigating harness racing trainer Ben Yole Racing Pty Ltd in relation to matters under the Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 and the Work Health and Safety Act 2012. The Department of Justice also confirmed that there is an active prosecution of Benjamin J Yole before the courts in relation to an […]
There is great deal of disquiet in Tasmanian racing circles about the Tasracing CEO Andrew Jenkins prioritizing going on a junket to the Darwin Cup over attending the sentencing hearing of the woman found in part responsible for the tragic accident that left two young harness racing participants seriously injured and maimed for life. Many […]
The defense lawyer for Ben Yole’s float driver in the terrible accident last year that left 2 young stable workers with permanent injuries has told the court that his client and the 4 other Yole employees in the car towing the float had worked from 7.30am on the day before the crash through to 1.45am […]
By Jessica Moran A 21-year-old former stable hand who crashed an unregistered and overloaded horse float last year has been sentenced to ten weeks’ jail, wholly suspended. Lily Blundstone was driving a white ute that was towing a loaded horse float at about 1:45am on January 30 last year, when it crashed on the Batman […]
Tasracing’s allocation of its slot in the Eureka to last night’s Beautide winner Fighter Command is farcical. The horse may be bred in Tasmania and owned largely by Tasmanians, but it is trained in Victoria by a Victorian trainer and driven by a Victorian driver, and until last night it had never raced in Tassie […]
Tasmanian’s worst trainer Wayne Yole kep up his outstanding record of failure by training the last placed horse in all seven races his stable contested at Hobart yesterday. That backed to Yole senior’s give last placings at Launceston on Friday to give him the unenviable record of twelve lat placings for the weekend. It’s amazing […]
It is a strange protest decision this one. Kaleb Williams, the driver of the horse in the yellow and brown, definitely shifts inside two marker pegs in the home straight and runs over a third. That much is confirmed by the driver being fined $100 for breaching the rule. 163. (1) A driver shall not […]
How does a horse that gets beaten by margins of 82.3m, 72.2m and 151.9m at three starts in a row and didn’t gallop in any of them not get stood down from racing? Or one that gets thrashed in five races in a row by margins of 79.3m, 48.3m, 45.6m. 41.6m and 44.3m? What about […]
Ben Yole’s dad’s weekend at the races by numbers. 2 meetings 41 runners 13 races 3 wins 10 last placings 80 average losing margin (metres) 6 horses stood down 4 placed on last chance to race truly What a cracker of a couple of nights out hey? I bet you wish that you could train […]
