Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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. After yesterday’s seminal […]
News hot off the press is that 2 horses have thrown positive swabs after winning at Menangle. One is trained by Cameron Ross. It’s gone positive to Dexamathasone . That will only get Ross a fine. The other one is the huge surprise. It’s a horse named Lochiel. Guess who trains it? Leon Jurd. Bet […]
Harness Racing NSW Stewards did. I don’t. What about you?

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 […]
We move on to race 2. Ben Yole has two runners here. Someone in HRV is slipping the stable the nominations in advance so they can manipulate the preferential draws, a practice that we have been telling you about for a long time. I hope you believe us now. Walters drives Safe Jewels. It draws […]
“Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority; still more when you superadd the tendency of the certainty of corruption by authority.” – Lord Acton 1.
