Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Last night at Menangle was one of the greatest nights of harness racing that we have ever seen. But it ended in a farce of disgraceful proportions. Club Menangle really know how to mess a great thing up. There were 2 discretionary slots in the Miracle Mile after the horses who had done the hard […]

Race 2 – NSW Derby Heat 1 Showmethetalines ran 1.52.1 at Newcastle and 1.51.5 at Menangle when trained by A F Kelly. Jason Grimson has him now, and will improve him by 2-3 seconds. He is a certainty. Soho Trump and Rewatch are the only dangers, but with the addition of the Grimson magic there […]
I was always taught than an exclusive story meant that you broke the news and published it first. Ben Dorries claims that his tale about Greg Bennett’s return to harness racing is an ‘exclusive’. It’s not. We were the first to break the story and told you about it several weeks ago, and followed up […]
I love Crash Craddock. When I was a teenage kid I worked as a copy boy (fledging journalist) in the Sports Room of what was then Queensland’s Daily Sun. John Hartigan was the Editor, and an abrasive but hugely effective boor named Col Allan was his Chief of Staff. They both went on to become […]
Kerry Towers is a NSW trot trainer. In January 2014 her horse threw a positive swab to a substance called Deferoxamine in a post race urine test after winning a race at Menangle. It was the first and to date only positive to the stuff ever recorded in the world. Under the rules of harness […]
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fields/race-fields/?mc=AP030326#APC03032601 The Real Rocketman is an 8-year-old pacer who in 101 starts coming into yesterday had never won in faster than 1.56.1, and in defeat had only broken 1.55 once, that being when it ran 1.54.9 in finishing 5th, after having the 1-1. Yesterday it won in 1.54.0. How? Was the track super fast? It […]
When the 7-year-old gelding Martin Magic came up from the SA-Victoria border area to QLD to join the Matt Elkins stable it had raced 98 times for 11 wins, but had never won in faster that 1.58.led a That win came 3 years ago. More recently it had led a year ago at Terang and […]
Take a l00k at this race above. Protest 2nd v 1st upheld. Now look at it again in super slow-mo. It looks to me like the driver of the horse on the outside was the one who drove his wheel up inside the leader, not the other way around. If I am right the protest […]
What is going on with the prizemoney for feature races at Menangle. It seems that it is all just TBC. To be confirmed. That’s a great way for a trainer to plan their horse’s prep isn’t it? We might go to Menangle and we might not. It all depends on what HRNSW are going to […]
