Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Penrith Stadium will likely undergo a major refurbishment but won’t be knocked down and re-built. The Weekender can reveal Labor will deliver on its $309 million election commitment to the stadium, but that figure won’t be enough to cover a complete redevelopment. Panthers are preparing for the refurbishment to take place in 2025 but will […]
Here are Victorian harness racing Stewards reports from July. All but one. Notice something missing? It’s the report from the meeting held at Bendigo on the 19th. It isn’t there. Guess who the Chairman of Stewards was on the night? Chief Steward Peter Chadwick. Pete the Plodder. The word out of Victoria is that Chadwick’s […]
I can’t quite work out what went on here in the 7th race at Newcastle yesterday.. So I will have a guess. Summit Bloodstock and Aaron Bain had 2 horses in the race. Dollarsign was trained and driven by Brad Elder, Baker Creek was trained by Darren Elder and driven by Blake Hughes. Baker Creek […]
The bets were on, and now it was time to go. They score up behind the mobile and the first thing we see is that the horse who has been backed from $7.50 into $4.80 in the final seconds of betting Dollarsign is in a muck lather of sweat. Horses who sweat like that before […]
After trying twice to get to the lead and give him a sit, Lleyton Green has realised that Blake Hughes on Baker Creek is either a lunatic or driving a drugged up horse or both, and has resigned himself to a trip spent in the breeze. Green takes hold of Pikarso, and when he does […]
Funny things happen in racing. At the trots drivers who can’t count time sometimes make them happen. And irony abounds. Blake Hughes went too fast on Baker Creek in the 3rd quarter, even with whatever drugs were in it. He stuffed it up. The hot horse kicked on and lead until the last 30 metres, […]
Terror To Love was one of the greatest staying pacers that New Zealand has ever seen. He won the country’s richest race the NZ Trotting Cup three times, and well as the Auckland Cup and a number of Harness Jewels, eight Group 1’s in all. The champion was retired to stud with great hopes, but […]

The rule is very clear isn’t it? A driver is not allowed to talk to anyone other than an official once they are on the track. That includes during the running of a race. Got it? Now watch this. Driver Bernie Hewitt in the white with red clearly turns his head and talks to Taleah […]
We have received quite mixed and varied comments about the new slot race for 2yo’s in Queensland the Protostar since it was announced on the weekend. Some love it and others hate it, and there isn’t much in between the two poles. The lovers say it’s a great boon for the sport of harness racing, […]
