Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying

On Monday South Australian trainers Sue and Jason Jaensch made the long trek over the border from Murray Bride to Hamilton with their former Team Hayes trained maiden galloper Hadar, and took plenty of the folding stuff in their pockets with them to keep them company on the drive. They unloaded it in the 3rd […]
It is during the last race meeting at Saratoga, and one evening I am standing out under the elms in front of the Grand Union Hotel thinking what a beautiful world it is, to be sure, for what do I do in the afternoon at the track but grab myself a piece of a 10-to-l […]
Race 1 at Gawler yesterday served as another demonstration of the ineptness of the people currently running harness racing in South Australia, and why they need a good kick up the arse. Or so it seemed anyway. The race was a 2yo trot. Now anyone who has been around the trots for five minutes or […]
This morning we told you about Timothy Robin Vince, and how the rogue who is NZ’s biggest punter was becoming increasingly aligned with Australian stables that were having huge runs of success.

Methinks punter Peter Lawrence is the last person who should be whining and moaning about TAB rorts. After all, Lawrence is Robbie Waterhouse’s man on the NSW north coast, and a close associate of Sally Snow. He wasn’t complaining when Sally was inflating the TAB odds for his crew during the hour of power then […]
By Danny Russell When bookmaker David McLauchlan met client Allen Ng in a northern suburb car park to collect an $80,000 gambling debt, he did not foresee that he was the one who would end up the biggest loser in a Supreme Court case. He did not suspect that Ng would become a client who […]
Peter Huxley was the boss of the NSW Rural Bank back in the 1960’s and 70’s. He was a pillar of society who served on the boards of prominent charities and leading arts organisations. Huxley had friends in high places, including in finance, politics and the police. Everyone trusted him. But they shouldn’t have, for […]
