Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Gee the angle at Shepparton is hard to pick. I’m pretty good at selecting the winner of photo finishes over the line, and average about 95%. This one in race 3 on Saturday night had me totally fooled though. I would have bet money that Techys Watching in the middle had fought back to win. […]
To Peter Profit Re: Hocking Gavin Lang had a long history of doing it, particularly in big races. Personally I don’t see the big deal in it. It’s not as if he has whipping them to death. But rules are rules. Copied from harness racing forum about G. Lang. Legend, Hall of Famer, saint, sinner. […]
Paul Campbell’s interview with HRV Chief Steward Peter Chadwick about the disqualification of Captain Hammerhead from the Shepparton Cup in what has become known as The Hocking incident is essential viewing for trot faNS. In it Chief Steward Chadwick details the reasons why David Moran’s horse was disqualified from the Cup and explains the rules […]
Archie Hopefully HRNSW insured against the bonus being won, and the insurer didn’t know about “Grimson” when they set the premium………. Set aside the integrity concerns with the Grimson camp and provided the bonus is paid for by insurance the 5 event Carnival of Cups has been a good promotion and if Grimson is going […]
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 […]
Until just six weeks ago the pacer Miki Pins was trained by Ben Matthews, and had won just 4 races from 13 starts – at Wagga(twice) Swan Hill and the C-grade track at West Wyalong and was rated an NR67. Somewhere in mid-Novermber the horse was transferred to Jason Grimson, and suddenly, almost as if […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/APC07012505.mp4 We told you yesterday about how the WA Stewards had allowed Lindsay Harper to drive a horse other than the one he drives in a race at Gloucester Park last night. The horse lost, as did the one that Harpers owns and drives, but that is not the point. The point is that the […]
The Moa from Marlborough has sent over some late mail for the Nelson trot meeting in New Zealand today. He’s usually a very good judge, but nevertheless we take no responsibility for the success or otherwise of the Moa’s tips. Race 1 no 1 – Copenhagen Girl Reportedly arrived at the Team Dunn barn with […]
