Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
NZ Harness Racing Trainer and Drivers Association head Ken Barron said anyone trying to dope was “very foolish”. “It’s going to cost them their livelihoods … they obviously don’t want to be in the game.” https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/racing/124392505/several-canterbury-harness-racing-trainers-suspected-of-doping-horses Ken Barron has made a sworn statement that he treated his horse Black Edition with Levamisole on the 25th […]
See the rule? What it says is that a horse can’t have it’s first start from a mobile unless it has satisfactorily trialed starting from one. No ifs or buts, if you haven’t trialed ok from behind the arm then you can’t race off it. Okay. So have a look at this. It’s the trial […]
Does the face fit the story? We say so. Redevelopment of Gloucester Park winds up in court A judge has cast doubts over a legal bid to stop apartment developers Adrian Fini and Ben Lisle acquiring 40 per cent of the Gloucester Park trotting complex. Justice Kenneth Martin has questioned whether evidence put forward by […]
Perth real estate agent Duro Margaretic was, until last week, a board member at Gloucester Park. He hadn’t actually sat in on any board meetings for a while, because unlike at Albion Park in highly similar circumstances, the WA club had stood him down. I cannot tell you why for legal reasons.

Kerry Ann Morris threw 2 positive swabs to the prohibited substance Levamisole in December 2020. That is two years and five months ago. The inquiry into the matter is still open, and has never been heard. Jack Trainor threw a positive swab to the same drug in March 2021, two years and two months ago. […]
The man who determines the NSW harness race swabbing regime – Integrity Manager Michael Prentice – needs to explain to the public how horses are being selected for pre-race swabs, because the current regime is just ridiculous. Take a look at Menangle yesterday for proof. In race 2 Kerry Ann Morris has a $1.70 favorite […]
Being the subject of a major race fixing investigation hasn’t slowed Ben Yole’s cheating down one bit. In fact it has done is ramped it up even more, to full throttle. I am not sure if it is because Yole is arrogant enough to imagine he’s going to sail out of this unscathed, or whether […]
