That or Something a Whole Lot More
Under her previous connections the 5yo pacing mare Holi Starzz had never won a race in a faster than a mile rate than the 1.53.7 that it ran over the mile at Bendigo 13 months ago, where it dominated from the front on a super quick track where the record is 1.49.0, meaning she ran […]
Nathan Dawson Gets His Pants Pulled Down by the Kiwis – But He Can Turn the Tables – He Just Needs to be Humble, and Refuse to Bow
If Not As Promised is going to go where no Queensland trotter has ever gone before (the Addington winner’s circle) he will need to overcome a wide front line draw but even that isn’t worrying Dwyer. “That is Nathan’s job,” he says of young driver Nathan Dawson. “He is a great instinctive drive and does […]

The bigger they are, the s0fter they fall argument was not of course the only determining factor in Emma Stewart being granted a stay, or indeed the major one. That one was gifted to Stewart’s legal team as a free kick from the other side, that side being the HRV Stewards. You see despite us […]

So Emma Stewart – Victoria’s leading trainer for almost the entire past decade – claims that she wasn’t aware of the one clear day administration rule.
