Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Nathan Jack is from some little hillbilly hamlet called Uranquinty, about 40 minutes out of Young, which is where he cut his teeth as a junior horseman. He’s been gone a long time as his star has risen, fallen, and then risen again, but last night on Young’s biggest trot night of the year he […]
The connections of Magnificent Storm mustn’t have won enough by cheating to win the WA Pacing Cup, for now RWWA are holding 4 horse charity events for them. Clearly the owners and trainers are not brave enough to follow in the footsteps of Village Kid, Jack Morris and Im Themightyquinn by travelling back over to […]
What you see above is the lawyers for the New Zealand Racing Integrity Board’s response to trot owner Tim Vince and his non- harness racing participant neighbour’s complaint about officials of the RIB trespassing upon their properties to conduct surveillance operations for reason unknown. The RIB declare that integrity chief and former copper Neil Grimstone […]

Veteran Southland trainer Phil Williamson has been having the best season of his life strike rate wise. Many have wondered how and why. Everyone wonders why healthy young seeming superstars suddenly drop dead in their emerging prime. Perhaps Einstein was right the whole time. E = MC 2.
Harness SA can say whatever they like, but the cold hard truth is that Kevin Seymour AM – Clip Clop Kev – has bought control of the $18 million asset of the land at Globe Derby for just under $4.something million. The man’s a genius. The idiots who run Globe Derby are just that, fools. […]
Tuesday’s race meeting at the $15 million Riverina Paceway track at Wagga was held on a supposedly fast track. The meeting was abandoned after race 4 was declared a no race, because the mobile barrier was unable to gain sufficient traction to accelerate away from the field as required at the start. How does […]
… won 21 races, and was a bit stiff in some of the others.
