John Shiels has been in the trot game a long time. He trains out of the Wagga Showgrounds. His daughter Kim does too. Their beloved son and grandson also keeps his pony at the showground stables. These people are the grassroots of harness racing, salt of the earth people who participate because they adore their […]
If you are going to pull over to drench your horse on the way to the races, then the Ampol Service Centre at Pheasant’s Nest isn’t the place to do it, for it gets a thousand cars every hour stopping there and the odds are that one of them might be a Steward, the last […]

Archie Mark Purdon confirms his genius by providing the ultimate “blood booster” for Oscar Bonavena on race day….. A good old fashioned root !!!! Pure genius !!!! Gray from Golden Bay Editors note: Gray is referring to Oscar Bonavena standing at stud this spring while he is still racing. It is a very clever idea […]
The trot trainers in Wagga who work out of stables at the showground were yesterday given eviction notices requiring them and their horses to be gone by the 1st of January. The reason for the show society’s decision is unknown, but it is a cruel pill to hand many of their long-term tenants just prior […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/sa/GDC18112405.mp4 Heza Tiger – trained by Super Mario Borg, driven by his aunty Gaita Pullicino – is backed from $16.00 into $4.00 in the 6th race at Globe Derby today.
