Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
So far there have been 6 heats of ID22 run. meaning that there have been 18 placings in these heats. Horses trained by Tonkin and Stewart have filled 9 of these 18 spots. Belinda McCarthy trained pacers have filled a further 4. That’s just two stables that have produced 13 of the 18 placed horses […]
Ray Green We knew that Ray Green’s injury was far more serious than being reported, but there was no need to say so while he was in the Intensive Care Unit. Like everyone in racing, we are super pleased that Ray has pulled through, and on behalf of our readers wish him all for best […]
Our mail is that former Queensland Chief Thoroughbred Steward Peter Chadwick will soon be announced as the new Chief Steward for Harness Racing Victoria. We have been unable to confirm the information, so we are not as confident as we usually are about such things, but we are lifelong gamblers, so at the risk of […]
Harness Racing Victoria’s website is the trots.com.au HRV is hosting the 2022 Inter-Dominion. It’s in right now, the first heats were run last Saturday. What a great opportunity to promote the state and the sport. And we get this. Good onya HRV. Bewdy.

From Princess to Warrior Queen: B. Graham above and below, half an hour apart. Brittany’s the most versatile broadcaster in sport. One of the best too. Heat One The two best square gaiters in the race ran 1-2, but the question is which was the better run? Neither in my opinion: Just Believe and Queen […]
N. Jack with his ID22 heat winning photos on the wall behind him Nathan Jack is a genius. Just ask him, he will tell you. Don’t be sure that he is telling the truth though. Great drivers get drives in Inter Dominions. Nate hasn’t got a cart to sit on in the heats of the […]
See the blokes on the far right in the crowd watching the first race at the Burnie trots last Friday night? They’re associated with the Ben Yole stable. See the man in the white long sleeved shirt? That is the Chief Steward Roger Brown, who is chairing the Stewards panel at the meeting. What is Brown […]
Ben Yole earns $11 in prizemoney for every $9 that the other nine trainers in the top ten earn combined, which is no surprise at all because Yole produces three times as many starters each week as the rest of them put together.
