Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Kerry Ann Morris is one of NSW leading trainers. She has won 2 of the past 5 State training premierships, and finished 2nd in the other three, and is the leader on the current season table. A pacer named The Raconteur was trained by Morris for the first 13 of its 15 start career. It […]
Dear Jason I am sorry for calling you a cheat. I was wrong, and I apologise. In recent times you’ve been put under the microscope more than any other trainer in living memory. The Stewards camped at your place three times a week for three weeks and found nothing. This week they marched your horses […]
The mail has been coming thick and fast since we published our article about the kiwi harness racing chief Gary Woodham coming to Australia, and the markets have changed dramatically. Woodham is 100-1 about getting the Racing QLD job. Acting Tasracing CEO Andrew Jenkins is $1.01 to get that job. Which leaves only one for […]
I wonder how the West Australian harness racing community feels about the Eastern State interlopers Aaron Bain Racing and Summit Bloodstock taking over as the major sponsors of the about to radically redeveloped Gloucester Park Paceway? To me it sounds a bit like giving Nick Suric sponsorship rights at Yonkers, or granting the Butcher the […]
Questions asked of Harness Racing New Zealand, and the process followed in appointing an independent director has brought to light issues concerning the constitution and integrity of the process ultimately followed. The evidence suggests that the process followed by the board and management of HRNZ in selecting its appointment to the independent director position was […]
They reckon a quite a familiar name in Aussie harness racing has been quietly spending up big time over on the other side of the ditch. A fella from Leeton I’m told. Name of Michael Boots. He’s very popular with the South Island kiwis, who love a good new mark. Steve Stockman from Stonewall might […]
There were 3 vets on duty for the finals of the Inter Dominion on Saturday night. One was Dr Richard Cust. His son Andrew is a vet at the Ballarat Equine Clinic. Dr Andrew Cust is also Emma Stewart’s vet. Isn’t that great? No conflict of interest there, is there? Gimme a break. It gets […]
Nathan ‘Cracker’ Jack likes to tell anyone who will listen that he is a Group 1 guru. As with most things, all Cracker is doing is kidding himself. The bloke is a bum. He couldn’t even get a drive in the Inter Dominion. What happened in race 5 at Shepparton on Tuesday night tells you […]
We have a new columnist coming on board soon. He’s a harness racing tragic from Queensland. And his name is Keith. Keep an eye out for him. This bloke knows a bit about the trots. He owns a real good horse too. We will hear from him soon. Make sure you watch the video. Keith’s […]
I love (Racing QLD Harness Manager) David Brick, and what a great man. That Inter Dominion in Brisbane next year will be sensational. And I also want accommodation and all the frills. Who the hell says this on air? Jason Bonnington. It is wildly inappropriate to solicit freebies from a person in charge of public […]
