Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Remember the exclusive we published during the week about the QRIC cutting costs by slashing the number of vets and swabbies at race meetings to one apiece? The issue that not even the industry members on the QRIC review committee knew about, let alone the mainstream racing media writers? Well finally after reading our stories […]
Thanks heaps Maddie! Nobody loves the game more I can guarantee that!! https://t.co/D75jqRQodT — Jason Bonnington (@JasonBonnington) February 3, 2024
I have often criticized the racing writers for harness.org,au, claiming far more regularly than I would like to that they are little but stooges for their employer who are afraid to say or write anything that doesn’t abide with the company line. Well here is there chance to prove me wrong. As readers of this […]
Brad Reid who writes for Harness Link is one of Australasia’s best trot writers, even though as a proud Kiwi he might resent the title. He’s also one one of the most famous male streakers at the cricket in New Zealand. And could have played Super Rugby with a step like his, or competed in […]

We broke the story about the Maher/Eustace partnership ending because David Eustace is going to Hong Kong, and just 12 hours later Racenet lifted it lock, stock and smoking barrel. Some old time writer once said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I think he was right. We’re flattered. Cheers Racenet. Merry Xmas. […]
I never thought I would say this, but on the morning of ID23 I am missing Bonno. Yes I gave Jason Bonnington plenty of curry, and he deserved it, but at least the J-man attracted attention. Those that have replaced him merely inspire yawns. Most artists are half-mad eccentrics, whether they be actors, singers, chefs, poets […]
So Emma Stewart – Victoria’s leading trainer for almost the entire past decade – claims that she wasn’t aware of the one clear day administration rule. The same rule that has been in place for the entirety of her premiership winning reign. Really? Really? Oh yeah Emma, pull the other one, it plays jingle bells. […]
