Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
What you see above is David Moran blatantly cheating in last night’s Group 3 Shepparton Gold Cup, one of the most prestigious races on the country harness racing calendar. See Moran deliberately drop his foot? Notice how many times his boot or knee comes into contact with the hind leg of his horse. Watch how […]
Hi mate I am so glad you put up the story that Swayzee should be in the retention barn 6 days before Cup run for this stupid 1 million bonus. Whoever at HRNSW that thought up the idea of the bonus payments should be sacked. But there should now be a real pressure campaign aimed […]
It’s hard to believe what we have just seen. In the heat of a stirring battle down the straight with the lion-hearted Kanena Provlima, driver David Moran has lost his mind and dropped his foot, and in full view of the cameras and the crowd he has hocked Captain Hammerhead to the lead and across […]

Race 1 no 1 – Copenhagen Girl Reportedly arrived at the Team Dunn barn with […]

It seems that Ryan Veivers is not the only licensee at his place who abused animals. His partner Jordan Topping does too. In February last year Topping was fined $5000 (with $3000 of the fine suspended) after vets reported that two horses in her care – Give Me Fifty and Over The Horizon – had […]
A few weeks ago QLD trot trainer was fined $6000 for presenting the mare Kelloshiel to race (and win) at Marburg with dexamethasone in her system. Now Kelloshiel is a horse with an abundance of natural ability, but she clearly has a few problems that hold her back on the track. When she has been […]

Marston was […]
