Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Young driver worked more than 18 hours for Yole harness racing stables before 2023 crash, court hears A driver crashed a vehicle towing a horse float after working for more than 18 hours, a Tasmanian court has heard. Ben Yole Racing Pty Ltd has pleaded not guilty before the Launceston Magistrates Court to four counts […]
A 21-year-old man who received serious injuries when a horse float crashed near the Batman Bridge denied that he was lying across the lap of the driver at the time of the crash. Cody Crossland was giving evidence in a case against a company operated by controversial harness racing trainer Ben Yole. Ben Yole Racing […]
Archie Jett Turnbull only knows how to drive horses one way. Go forward. He shows absolutely no tactics when he drives. The only time he does show some tactics is when there are other Nathan Turnbull trained horses in the same race and they team drive. His drive at Young tonight on Holme Boy is […]
Leap To Fame is magic, because he has brought people back to harness racing, who for a long time have been lost. Immediately after Larry’s magnificent win in the Cranbourne Cup I received a barrage of messages, many of them from gallops and greyhound people who wouldn’t have watched a trot race for years. They […]
My apologies, Kingman was on the burning truck. Thank goodness he and the others ended up okay. Good on you Cracker, and all those who helped. You saved the day. And the horses. Sorry about your truck. Glad you’re okay too Nathan. Even if you are a very ordinary shunt who tried to get me […]
I was fortunate enough to be on track at Cranbourne to see the current greats of harness racing. It was certainly not without drama pre the big three races. Archie was first in the media to tell all about Nathan Jack burning down the road with millions of dollars of horseflesh under his care. I’m […]
I am totally confused by Cam Hart’s drive in this race, the 3rd at Cranbourne on Saturday night. Bewildered in fact. Cam Hart was aboard the heavily backed $1.75 favorite Major Art. It sat behind the leader in the perfect trail. When the sprint lane opened up Hart took it, and if you’d backed Major […]
I can’t really find any words to describe Leap To Fame’s win in the Cranbourne Cup last night. I’ve tried. Extraordinary, magnificent, sublime, heavenly, incredible. None of them do him justice. There are no superlatives in the English language that can. So just sit back and watch it again and savor the moment. The Thrilla […]
You have never seen a beaten horse in your life try as hard as Kingman did to beat Leap To Fame down the straight at Cranbourne last night in the Cup. Luke McCarthy’s great pacer gave it everything he had, and more. Every sinew in his body was stretched as far they could extend without […]
How great it was to see Jason Bonnington at Cranbourne tonight. The poor bugger doesn’t look to be that well. I half wonder if he hasn’t had some health issues. But he was in his usual inimitable form. Anyone who loves the trots as much as my mates and I do is alright by me […]
