Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Where do you find the most hidden treasure? Under the sea. What’s the sea made of? Water. Where was the young harness racing participant going with the $92 grand she had hidden in her bra and undies? West. What’s out west? A trot track. Is there any water there? Yes. What else is there? Hay, […]
Gary Hall Jr treated us to a masterclass on Mister Smartee last week in the Nullarbor, and last night in the Group 1 Fremantle Cup with the same horse he did it again. Hall drove Mister Smartee hard up the inside at the start from his inside of the backrow draw after Kate Gath fired […]
Trainer David Moran cost Captain Hammerhead’s connections a Shepparton Cup and a $28 500 winners cheque after he was found to have hocked the horse to victory and it was disqualified from the race. Moran quickly made it up to the connections and saved Harness Racing NSW a half million dollar bonus cheque when two […]
To the surprise of no-one QLD reinswoman Jordan Topping has failed in her appeal against a 4-week suspension for driving the pacer Altana Blue unacceptably at Marburg on the 13th of April. We won’t bore you with a blow by blow description of the Racing Appeals Panel’s decision because anyone could see that Topping was […]

We witnessed something extraordinary at Alexandra Park on Friday night. The Great Northern Derby, which has been run over 2700m for the past half a century, was run over 2600m instead. It wasn’t supposed to – 2700m was the scheduled distance – but someone stuffed up. As the mobile reached the release point it just […]
As you just read, Wayne Yole – father of the disqualified trainer Ben – has been issued with a notice requiring him to show cause why he should be allowed to continue to home, stable or train horses from the Sidmouth property formerly occupied by his son. The notice – which Wayne Yole claims lacks […]
By ABC state political reporter Lucy MacDonald Tasmanian harness trainer Wayne Yole has been given until the end of the month to prove why he “should be allowed to home, stable or train any horses” at his Sidmouth property following a multi-agency inspection last month. On March 24, Tasmanian Racing Integrity Commissioner Sean Carroll organised […]
Some things are so shocking that you close your eyes and wish with all your might that they weren’t true. The sudden death of Greg Sugars is one of them. A young, fit man at the top of his game professionally, cruelly cut down in his prime. A son, husband and brother stolen by fate […]
Nullarbor winner Gary Hall Jr, a great driver Cameron Hart sure is a slow learner. He made the same mistake twice, and it cost Swayzee the Nullarbor. We showed you Swayzee’s vulnerability a few weeks ago after he was run down from in front at Menangle. On that night he ran his second quarter in […]
