Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Hi Archie, Have a look at race 2 Redcliffe yesterday and watch the leader break down the end of back straight the first time. The horse was travelling on the bit easy and then the driver moves his foot and seesaws the reins and bang horse gallops and then in a short time after causing […]
The WA Harness Industry, like others Australia wide and probably across the ditch, is on it’s knees, bleeding money, all metrics collapsing, …….turnover, participation, licensed personnel, foal numbers, horse population….you name it, it is in decline. And it is not because of a fuel crisis triggered by you know who in Pennsylvania Avenue. Solution, simples, […]
At a time when progressive principal racing authorities such as Racing NWSW are implementing measures like travel subsidies to financially assist industry participants during this crazy time of war and rising fuel prices pushing costs through the roof, Harness Racing NSW has taken the opposite approach and slugged owners with an extra tax.

How does any pacer sit parked in the breeze for 2200 meters against the best of the best on both sides of the ditch, and win a million dollar race by 7 lengths? It is just unheard of. Or used to be. Leap To Fame is rewriting history. There can be no doubt at all […]
Kevin Seymour AM doesn’t look too happy as you’d expect of a man who had just won a million dollar race and had his beloved daughter on his right shoulder, does he? I guess that is because Kev is a man who knows that you’re judged by the company that you keep. And some Ozempic […]
Mr Butterfly All hail the King? Or let’s just say “Hats Off To Larry”. Nice old song too. Arthur from Albury
Grant Dixon is delighted. Kevin and Kay Seymour and their kids and grandkids are too. But how about HRNZ CEO Brad Steele photo bombing the winners picture? If you can’t beat them, join them I guess.
