Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Gold Coast poly track certainly doesn’t look or play like one. It races more like the Bundaberg sand. This is what leading poly track builder Martin Collins says about the surfaces it builds. Polytrack is scientifically proven to minimise the risk of injury and provide a consistent, secure surface for horses to perform to […]
I think harness racing is facing real challenges, and while I still enjoy it, I also want to investigate what my future, and that of the boys – Mark Purdon Champion harness trainer Mark Purdon has revealed the extent of his thoroughbred training ambitions as his All Stars stable gets ready for its next evolution.

After years of exposés on the cruelty of horse racing, the growing power and influence of the gambling industry, and an overwhelming majority of people actively concerned about animal welfare, the Greens say it is beyond time to shut down racing. To shut down commercial horse racing in Australia, the Greens have a clear Horse […]
HARNESS racing has reached the stage in Queensland where some honest, hard-working stakeholders are convinced ‘the rats are running the ship’ and the stewards are doing nothing about it. A long-serving, highly respected gentleman has written to us in desperation because he claims complaints to the QRIC Commissioner fall on deaf ears and that apart […]
All in all, Turbo’s just another prick in the wall Have you ever seen a more blatant dead drive in your life than Jack ‘Turbo’ Trainor’s disgraceful display on It’s All About Faith in second race at Menangle on Saturday night? It was disgusting. This was a one goer this race, and the one goer […]
Race 1: CARPET ONE TOOWOOMBA CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1300m JERONIMOS Began awkwardly. Really? How? Pull the other one, it plays Jingle Bells.

I can’t remember seeing a more reckless piece of riding than that of Josh Parr on Hellish in the Inglis Millennium at Randwick yesterday. It puts Greg Hall’s madness on Merlene in the 1996 Slipper in the shade, Hall was put out for 2 months and fined $50 000, which would be worth double that […]
Mr Brightside’s run in the CF Orr yesterday wasn’t just the best of the day, it was the best of the entire year. Last year’s Doncaster winner ran the fastest sectional splits for every furlong except the first, and ran his final 1200m in 1.07.52, which was 0.34 seconds faster than any other horse in […]
Did you see Cafe Millennium win the first at Randwick yesterday? Holy hell, isn’t this some sort of colt? How do you drop out last four lengths behind the 2nd last horse and do what he did? Most 2YO’s can’t. In fact the vast majority of gallopers of any age can’t do it. But he […]
"Given the margin of a short-head and given the amount of interference it's the stewards view that had the interference not occurred that Jacquinot would've finished ahead of Gentleman Roy therefore the objection is upheld." pic.twitter.com/aeMyysTt0v — 7HorseRacing 🐎 (@7horseracing) February 11, 2023 I can’t see the logic of the Stewards upholding the protest in […]
