Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The accused trained, managed and housed harness racing horses at his registered training establishment. The accused noticed that a colt with very swollen legs. The colt was unable to weight bear on either leg and was unable to stand comfortably. The accused did not provide the colt with any veterinary treatment after he noticed that […]
This is an email that every Kiwi’s favorite trot syndicator The Canary (aka Andrew Fitrzgerald) last week sent out to people on his mailing list, trying to flog them a 0.1% share in the horse SCOTT for $100 bucks. There are a few problems with The Canary’s pitch. One is that a hundred bucks for […]
Wayne Yole had 21 runners across 7 races at the Hobart trots last night. He won one of the races, but that wasn’t his notable achievement. Finishing last in all seven races was. That would have to be some sort of record wouldn’t it, seven out of seven? There are just two things I can […]
Frankie Ferocious wasn’t the only Jason Grimson trained horse that failed miserably at Albion Park last night. Hot and Treacherous totally bombed out too, with the triple Menange winner who started favorite in the million dollar Nullarbor slot race at Gloucester Park in April performing miserably in the Mr Feelgood behind Leap To Fame to […]

The move is said to have been triggered by owners Mark and Dennis Dunford’s dissatisfaction with Mark Purdon’s […]
With the entire future of the Auckland Trotting Club dependent on the finalisation of the sale of its land and training centre at Pukekohe and the payment of the balance of $90 million by the buyer, we thought we would do some research into who exactly that company or person is. This is what we […]
Jack Trainor has been outed for 10 months for the Chubby Checker positive swab to levamisole. Kerry Ann Morris should be feeling blessed. Her horse threw positive to levamisole twice. This one of Turbo’s only had one bad swab. The appeal if there is one will be very interesting indeed. So will his sentence for […]
The newly announced million dollar Carnival of Cups bonus for any horse that can win all five Cups run at Albury, Young, Tamworth, Parkes and Penrith – with half a million for a horse that wins four, or a quarter of a million for three – is a hugely exciting initative, particularly given that the […]
