Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It looks to us like a Ben Yole special. That’s no surprise given that every one of the 8 Darren Elder trained runners in the 1o horse field is owned by Yole’s major stable owners Aaron Bain and/or Summit Bloodstock, and 4 of the 8 are former Yole trained horses. Bain and Summit are like […]
The WA mare Wonderful to Fly is a magnificent pacer but the worst betting proposition in the world, a multi killer and the bookies best friend. Last night in the Group 2 Norm’s Daughter Classic at Gloucester Park she went down at odds of $1.34, which was the third time in her past 5 starts […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/wa/GPM10112304.mp4 Last night’s WA Cup ended up in controversy and animus that will take a long time to heal. The Ray Williams trained/Aiden De Campo Magnificent Storm won the race easily, but only after it gained the front as a result of De Campo knocking Hall Sr’s Stuart McDonald driven early leader Jumpingjackmac down. McDonald […]
In the story below that we published in April we told you that Ben Yole didn’t have workers compensation insurance for the young workers who were injured in the terrible accident on the way home from the races in Hobart as required by law, and that he was underpaying their rightful entitlement to wages. We […]
We have it on excellent authority that Ben Yole Racing did not have workers compensation cover for his young workers involved in the tragic car accident in January 2023. In the State of Tasmania workers are covered under the Safe Work Tasmania Workers Compensation insurance scheme when they are working. That is, working under or […]
The word is that the Emma Stewart race day treatment before the Maryborough Cup matter went before the HRV Stewards for hearing on penalty this week. To date there has been no information released about the matter by HRV, and quite surprisingly we haven’t heard a word about the outcome either. We can only hope […]
How can Ben Yole accept at 9.30 am Tuesday with two horses Heartburn Bruce in race 7 and 8 Andaman Dayin at Ballarat this Friday, and then half an hour later at 10.00 accept with the same two horses in races 4 and 7 at Hobart on the same day? https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fields/race-fields/?mc=BA101123 https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fields/race-fields/?mc=EH101123 It should be […]
Some clown from Woodend Beach – my guess is Lurch or one of desperate to impress the boss disciples – fed us a false line yesterday afternoon in the obvious hope of embarrassing us and damaging our credibility. They amalgamated 2 of our least favourite people in harness racing as the lure, by telling us […]
The markets for the feature Group 1 races on NZ Cup day in 5 days time have been turned upside down after the dominant favourites for the rich feature races drew terribly at yesterday’s barrier draw. Akuta has blown from odds-on out to $2.20 after landing the horror barrier 15 on the 2nd row in […]
The first set of lights at the top of the straight in Redcliffe are clearly out. Yet still they race on. Why are the QRIC permitting this to happen when it’s clearly dangerous? The almighty turnover dollar takes precedence over driver and horse safety. So much for welfare. Like expunge – which the QRIC should […]
