Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The mail is that Hayden Cullen is joining the Steve and Amanda Telfer stables in a 3 training partnership, and will train out of a satellite stable out at Woodend Beach. Think I’m joking? Then think again. You always hear it here first. Let’s just hope that Stonewall Stud supremo Steve Stockman springs for a […]
Rod Croon is the CEO of the Auckland Trotting Club. The O stands for Orful, just like Dave Tua’s O on Wheel of Fortune stood for Orsome. Jamie McKinnon is the ATC President. Gary Woodham is the CEO of HRNZ. Together the trio are the three stooges, the clowns who have destroyed harness racing in […]
Another big race day, another big fill up for the cheats. There were 8 Group 1 races on the Grand Prix program at Addington yesterday. Mark Purdon’s stable contested 7 of them, and won 5. It won 4 from 4 of the pacing races, and 1 from the 3 of the trots. With no Merlin […]
After their stable’s rout of the big races in Australia and New Zealand on the weekend, we thought we’d take a quick look at the comparative season statistics for both the Mark Purdon and Emma Stewart stables. The similarities are frightening. Emma Stewart’s metro figures are straight underneath Purdon’s, and her state-wide stats are in […]
Just as Bart Cockburn in QLD rolled over and sung like a canary in the ‘match fixing’ criminal cases that former QRIC Commissioner Ross Barnett and his merry band of copper’s mates brought against numerous trot people, in the American FBI doping cases the trot trainer Nick Surick turned state evidence on his mates and […]

Her Dad cried […]

The committee of the New Zealand Trotting Hall of Fame seeks your support in stopping the Auckland Trotting Club from bulldozing the Noel Taylor New Zealand Trotting Hall Of Fame museum at Alexandra Park. Every club in the country, and people around New Zealand and Australia, contributed to setting up the museum and for the […]
Right in the middle of the time honoured Inter Dominion series the hapless clowns who run the Auckland Trotting Club – the men too afraid to publicly release their Annual Report, for fear of the world viewing the horrors that it contains – have announced their plans to demolish the harness racing Hall of Fame […]
Chill And Burn is an old injury plagued pacer that is, quite frankly, not much faster when going at full speed than a mule is at a slow canter. Yesterday at Albury the horse was having just its third start back after three years absence from the track. It had run a long last at […]
