Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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
The Ray Green camp held great hopes for Neptune when he was a 2yo in New Zealand, and Ray is a man who can spot a good horse from 2 miles away. It was understandable why too after the horse from the deep won 2 of his first 3 starts, beating the potential topliner Punk […]
An astute reader named Cathy from Camperdown has highlighted something overnight about the proposed new Queensland Harness Centre that everyone else – including us – seems to have missed. The track is being built next to a speedway! Here is what Cathy says. Bought by a public servant obviously with no f***ing clue about horses. […]

The plan is for a 1000m track that at first look appears to be a standard oval design, […]
Both Mr Kevin Seymour and the author of this website have been telling anyone will listen for about 2 years now that Leap To Fame is one well and truly out of the box, and we were both right, which is interesting because I don’t think KWS and I have ever really agreed on anything […]
Patrick Swayzee, the Jill Grimson of harness racing If anyone had told you 3 months ago after he ran last beaten 35m in a weak NR70 race at Redcliffe that Swayzee would win the Group 3 Mr Feelgood beating the best Open Class horses from 3 different states, you would have smiled and nodded and […]
Just like global warming with our earth withering away as the waters in the Atlantic Ocean get warmer providing fuel for bigger and stronger hurricanes and beach erosion bringing those waters closer to residential areas, only a very few are paying attention. Yes, things are fine in Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky…and things are going well […]
None of the phone messages purportedly from Brad Elder to someone connected to Summit Bloodstock that we briefly published on this site are true. As we have discovered to our great embarrassment and chagrin, they are forgeries. We now believe – but can not prove – that the forgeries were produced by a man named […]
