Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
As we have stated on a number of occasions, all letters to the Editor published on this site are real, except for the names of their authors which are made up to protect the writer from reprisal for providing us with information.

Dear Peter Profit The report into Ben Yole is a fantastic step forward for our local industry. My concern is the members of the independent stewards panel who have been appointed to investigate Yole further.

Tell me this Archie. The entire harness industry has had enough of Ben Yole and we have for a long time. But who is to blame? The industry has been beating their heads against the wall for years. And those who were playing by the rules have been pushed out of the industry. Some may […]
There was yet another one horse race and walkover at Hobart last night as a result of the mass withdrawal of Ben Yole stable runners, making it the third this weekend. This led to an unusual spectacle as the winner of the walkover – the only horse in it, Agouda Ruler – paced along in […]

I was chatting to a couple of mates just before the Southern Star final at Melton, and we were all wondering why the hell Nathan ‘Cracker’ Jack chose barrier 10 on the back row instead of picking 6 on the front when he drew his marble and had the pick of three. It only took […]
