Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
The bloke in the video is Robert Walters, the bloke who is Ben Yole’s henchman. Isn’t he a nice sort of chap? Just the type you’d love to see holding a license. Or not, as the case may be.
Wayne Yole had 21 runners across 7 races at the Hobart trots last night. He won one of the races, but that wasn’t his notable achievement. Finishing last in all seven races was. That would have to be some sort of record wouldn’t it, seven out of seven? There are just two things I can […]
Jimmy Cagney may not be dancing for too much longer It was a like a tomato sauce convention at the Launceston trots last night, with favorites starting deep in the red in 7 of the 10 races on the card. Five of them won at prices of $1.09, $1.05, $1.30, $1.25, and $1.05. The two […]

We have written a lot about the failings of the Tasmanian harness stewards, but the officials at the trots are not alone. The gallops Stewards are pretty bad too. The Chief Steward Mr Bruce Free leads the way. Mr Free is best remembered as the integrity official who inspected the bullring at greyhound trainer Anthony […]
Published on Save Harness Racing in Tasmania I thought I’d prepare a guide for those intending to gain a Trainer’s Licence in the Harness Racing Industry in Tasmania as there are places available. You should be wary of any previous indiscretions you may have committed when a young adult, as those can come back to […]
With all of the Ben Yole horses that were transferred into Robert Walters name on Monday pulled out of the fields at Launceston last night, and only the ones supposedly trained by Wayne Yole left in, we saw exactly why the crooked crew are so desperate to flood the fields with the weight of their […]
