Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
What can you say hey? The starter at Bathurst hooked the start of race 2 to advantage his two runners in the race. He backed them both, the winner more than the one that ran second. With the advantage given by his cheating start. If the NSW integrity team don’t act on this one they […]
Michael Boots is as Australian as a koala, or Vegemite, or a baggy green cap. There is no Kiwi in him, and you will never see Bootsy in a black jersey. He’d rather cut off his left nut. Andy Ellis, Kieran Read, and Dave Hewett wear nothing but black, from dusk to dawn and then […]
Do you remember the race at Bathurst that we told you about on Wednesday night? The one in which a whole lot of runners were inconvenienced at the start. How Can This Possibly Be a Fair Start? You know, that race that should have been a false start? This one. The race in which only […]
Some months ago we wrote extensively about what we, then and now, considered to be the unlawful and utterly unjust removal of Director Sharon Cimarosti (pictured above) from the board of Harness Racing South Australia (HRSA). At the time we described it as a travesty, and warned that it would not end there. We were […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/BHC12072313.mp4 The favorite in the 7th race at Bathurst last night was a horse named Line Me Up Bro. It’s driver Nathan Turnbull sure did line punters up bro. He drove it as dead as a doornail. Just watch the replay and you will see exactly what we mean. The Stewards have instituted an inquiry […]
Are we actually considering a track with a chute? pic.twitter.com/ERMy0K4FW9 — Matthew Elkins (@Mattelkins142) July 11, 2023 It is a fair question that Matt Elkins asks. We will put it to the new RQ CEO tomorrow and see what he says. Watch this space.
Dear Minister Grace I write with urgency regarding the Queensland Harness Training Centre. I was elated when I first read of Queensland’s plans for the QHTC but overnight that elation has turned to devastation with the release of the indicative master plan which revealed the location. The centre is being built in the most unsuitable […]
This is the training facility of leading US trot trainer Nancy Takter. How bloody good is it? You’d cut off your left leg to have one like it. Winners win. It’s because they spend the money on places like this to make sure they do. Wow. This joint of Nancy’s is sensational.
Simple answer? It can’t be. But the Bathurst stewards last night in race 2 declared that it was. In what world? This was a disgrace. Both participants and punters have been robbed. But who cares about us? No-one it seems. Certainly not the stipes, that’s for sure. https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/BHC12072304.mp4
