Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
If Michael Dumesny is correct about Better Be The Best having suffered a potential career ending injury, then when and how did it happen? We have been told that the horse was displaying clear signs of lameness prior to running in the Chariots of Fire on the 2nd of March. But Dumseny’s tweet didn’t appear […]
Why did Guy Looks Good go so bad in this race at Burnie on Sunday? If he really was tying up, then why? Was it because the Bain/Summit owned pacer hadn’t been exercised properly in the 7 weeks leading into this race? After all, lack of conditioning for a race is one of the major […]
This is the official reason for the scratching of 17 Yole trained horses from the Bunbury meeting on the weekend, as reported by the Stewards. As we foreshadowed in our story about the issue, politician Dean Winter was wrong about the horses being scratched because their appointed driver refused to take the reins. That tale […]
How on earth did this winner of the first race at Young yesterday withstand the protest lodged by the connections of the 2nd placed horse and win the race? It makes no sense at all. The winner didn’t just clip a marker peg, it went all the way inside them and remained there for at […]

As you know I saw the replay of the Chariots of Fire, and told you immediately afterward that I too thought that Better Be The Best looked to be lame. Yes the vets and stewards have a case to answer for what has subsequently happened. But the real culprit is Nathan Turnbull Through ignorance and […]
The sad news is that Better Be The Be Best has bowed or severely damaged a tendon. The even sadder news is that it has happened because the fools from Harness Racing NSW allowed him to run in the Chariots of Fire when he was in their care in the retention barn for 56 hours […]
The bimbo is former Adelaide jockey turned Only Fans porn star and tipster Libby Hopwood. Ian Devitt is a harness racing Steward in SA. So is Simon Ewen, whose wife is or was the PA to the HRSA CEO. Stewards aren’t allowed to bet on races in the same code that they officiate on. They […]
The retention barn at Menangle is used to house runners in major races under security and supervision from midday on the Thursday of the race until 2 hours before start time on the Saturday night. It’s supposed to ensure that none of the horses are doped within 60 hours of the race. That would be […]
Archie As you know we used to go the trots every Friday and Saturday nights as young men and my brother and my nephew owned an Inter Dominion heat winner, but I’m a dog man through and through. The trots are crooked and always have been, and you wouldn’t trust a trot trainer as far […]
