Harness Racing NSW have dismissed suggestions that a number of horses were ineligible to race at Riverina Paceway on Saturday night. While the Wagga Pacers Cup was part of the program, chief executive John Dumesny confirmed Carnival of Cups conditions, which would have ruled out a number of New Zealand bred pacers from competing, did […]

We are alarmed to hear that everyone’s favorite woman basher, strangler, drug dealer, rip off artist, dope cheat cup day drencher Matthew Vanderkley, aka Anderson, aka whatever the Calvin Hunt is calling himself now, has moved to New Jersey to pursue his career in sourcing horse drugs for Kiwis and Australians, and pursue his career […]
