Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Ben Yole trained more than 50% of the starters in six of the eight races run at Hobart on Friday night. Yole had: 9 of the 12 runners in race 3 9 of the 12 runners in race 4 6 of the 1o runners in race 5 10 of the 12 runners in race 6 […]
We are usually the first to be critical of what we perceive to be team driving tactics by drivers from the Ben Yole stable, and usually we are right too, but in the case of Olivia Weidenbach being investigated for her drive on Somedan in the 8th race at Launceston on Sunday I reckon the […]
Yesterday morning we write about how the Murrihy inquiry report is supposed to be handed down by the end of this week. Late yesterday arvo it is announced that the report’s delivery has been put back by 8 weeks. You have to start suspecting that fix is in don’t you? We certainly not, but there […]
Most of them I would say. What’s the harness horse population of Tassie do you reckon? 300? 400? It wouldn’t be a lot more. 31 of them dead ii a single year is a big number. Gee he has a lot of paddock accidents too doesn’t he? It might be time to fix the fences. […]
Sires on Ice. What the hell? Is this is a joke? Surely it has to be. But it’s not. Sires on Ice. Well I guess half of the Tasmanian racing industry is on it, so why not? Glass pipe jockeys rejoice. You’d think they’d be a bit more discreet about it though wouldn’t you? No […]
The world’s most brutal and uncaring greyhound trainer Anthony Bullock had 7 of the 8 runners in the 3rd race at Launceston yesterday, and trained 26 of the 80 runners on the card. All of them fed on freshly chainsawed shot, hung up to bleed on trees, and living 3 days ago prime Ben Yole […]
Just 16 days ago Tasmanian greyhound trainer Anthony Bullock – the grub who shoots Ben Yole’s unwanted pacers, hangs their bodies from trees to bleed them out, cuts them up with chainsaws and then feeds them to his hounds – was gifted an extended kennel license despite having operated in breach of the rules and […]
Can you believe this? Ben Yole’s mate the greyhound trainer who hangs horses from trees has for years been training 100 dogs on a property only approved for 16. The Council let him off on certain conditions. One is that he doesn’t cut up Yole’s unwanted horses at his place. I guess they will have […]
It seems I was wrong when I wrote that Anthony Bullock would have to shoot Ben Yole’s unwanted trotters and cut them up with chainsaws at his place now that the Council has banned him from doing it at his kennels at Tamar Valley. I wasn’t aware until today that in late 2020 Bullock had […]
It is intended that the policy will provide smaller trainers with the opportunity to consistently gain access to ratings-based handicap races. The 1 July date was identified for the policy’s introduction to allow an appropriate lead time for these smaller trainers to prepare their horses for races they elect to target. What a load of […]
