Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The consummate professional. If Bon-Bon spent less time feeding his face and more time studying the form he might actually be competitive one day.

All the ‘experts’ on racing TV are making excuses for Thomas Stockdale’s ride on Chief Altonus in the 5th at Caulfield. There is no excuse.

Someone told me the other day that I knew shit from clay, and was making up any involvement in NZ Harness Racing. The same bastards said I didn’t know Julia Gillard either. Or Aunty Helen.

Bonno got 11.1% of the early quaddie. It paid $71.00 for a dollar, meaning that he collected $7.90. I hope he didn’t spend it all in one place. He had $10 each way on Something Bettor which ran 2nd and paid $2.10, so there is another $21.00. Running total $28.90. And he got the trifecta […]
Max Presnell is like many old men who have seen plenty of it starting to live in the past. It shows in his article today bemoaning the lack of quality in the past 25 Straddies, and his yearning for imagines days of yore when the top liners were just so much better than they are […]
We have been telling you for a month that Robert Dunn was going to be appointed to the board of Harness Racing New Zealand haven’t we? Well bingo is it. Yesterday Dunn’s appointment as a Director of the Kiwi control body was formally announced. In making the announcement HRNZ’s spin doctors did a lovely job […]
