Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
If anyone other than driver Michael Stanley can work out what he was thinking with his drive on Rock N Roll Doo in the Kilmore Cup then they are the next Sigmund Freud, for it was nothing but crazy. Stanley was driving the horse that many rate as the best stayer in Australia, so why […]
About 3 months ago I sent the Harness Racing NSW Integrity Manager Michael Prentice the complaint reproduced below about the central west Chairman of Stewards, one Michael Jasprizza. It was never responded to or properly addressed. Although we made no direct complaint about M. Jasprizza’s actions in the district, it should have been obvious to […]
At the start of this month we exclusively broke the story below about the mare Carla’s Pixel being sold online to US interests for $300 000, allegedly in foal to Captain Treacherous. We said allegedly, because our mail was that the mare – whose first foal by the Captain recently sold for $270 000 – […]
Two months ago the high class race race mare Carlas Pixel was sold on-line at the Gavelhouse auction for $300 grand. One of the big hooks for the buyer was that the mare was said to be in foal to Captain Treacherous. Just 2 months earlier a yearling colt by the Captain out of the […]
Peter Profit <peterprofitracing@gmail.com> 12:27 AM (0 minutes ago) to mprentice, pbuckman Dear Mr Prentice I wish to lodge an integrity complaint. On Wednesday night at Bathurst a man named David Micallef was the starter in race 2.

This is probably the most notorious case of foul driving […]
NSW harness racing’s ridiculous pre-race swabbing regime continues apace. Just have a look at the pre-race blood tests conducted yesterday at Menangle yesterday and you will see what I mean. Fave means favourite. Swab means horse that was pre-race swabbed. The numbers are the starting price 0f the horse. Race 1 Fave $2.00 Swab $34.00 […]
Foul driving is one of the most serious offences in the racing rule book, and usually one of the most severely punished too. The minimum punishment for the rule breach in Victoria is 6 months, a penalty which is quite consistently applied, and quite reasonably too given the gravity of the offence. Foul Driving 168(1)(f) […]
