Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I have never in entire life seen a more obviously crooked team drive than the one that Kate Gath pulled in the 8th at Melton last night. Gath drove the $1.40 favorite Encipher, trained by Emma Stewart and winner of a half million dollars and last year’s 3YO Filly of the Year award. It was […]

Racing and Wagering Westerna Australia (RWWA) stewards pulled a without notice visit to the Byford Training Track on Tuesday morning and performed ‘random’ drug testing on a number of horses that were working out on the track. Big so deal you might say, so what? Well what is that that two of the biggest trainers […]
Southland trotter Smokin Bandar (Monkey Bones) has arrived safe and well in Sydney ready for a month of harness racing in Brisbane. “I couldn’t be happier. He travelled over good and hasn’t lost any condition. He ate up last night and ate his breakfast this morning. He’s handled the trip really well,” trainer Craig Ferguson said speaking […]
Another 58 horses have been exported from New Zealand in the last month. Soon there are going to be none left. When are Harness Racing NZ going to do something to prevent this Kiwi harness equivalent of the exodus from Ireland in the wake of the famine? When the CEO stops exporting his horses I […]
Nikola Jokic is the greatest basketball player in the world. On pure stats he is the greatest playoffs player ever.
