Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Firstly, I’ll admit I was wrong in regards to Expensive Ego is the Hunter Cup. As Archie quite rightly pointed out it’s run was very unlucky and full of merit. Originally it was never the plan for the McCarthy horse to go to Melbourne and race in the Hunter Cup but it was going so […]
We wrote this about Phil Burrows, the cheat who along with the human Matty A not the horse (see story to follow) had been caught red handed drenching a horse of his who was racing that day on the NZ Cup card in an event worth $140 000, money that he was breaking the rules […]

Well, I wish to say I see many a Santa Claus in my time, but I never see a better looking Santa Claus than Dancing Dan, especially after he gets the wig and white whiskers fixed just right, and we put a sofa pillow that Good Time Charley hap pens to have around the joint […]
If there was a better 2-year-old male pacer anywhere last season than Merlin, then I didn’t see it. Many will disagree with me and say Don’t Stop Dreaming (DSD) had his measure, but I say that’s bullshit. Mark Purdon’s star only beat the wizard once, in the Sires Stakes, and that was by virtue of […]
Penrith’s CEO Tash Greeentree refused to answer this website’s calls when the state government takeover of the club land was announced. Ms Greentree refused to speak to important others too, including at least 1 nearby harness racing club with common interests. Now NSW Government representatives won’t speak to her. I think it’s called Karma. The […]
Do you remember the gala Hunter Cup barrier draw events that the Victorian Harness Racing Club held at the Crown Casino in 2021 and 2022? The ones on which they dropped a motza? And at which they launched and then consolidated the Graeme Lang Medal for the trainer of the most Group 1 winners and […]
just a week after the tragic crash that shouldn’t have happened that killed 4 horses and maimed a whole lot of kids, things are starting to look real bad for TasRacing, and after years of turning blind eyes to Ben Yole’s nefarious activities so they bloody should. I just hope that this prick doesn’t bring […]
Rock N Roll Doo looked a superstar late last year when he went bang, bang, bang and won the Caduceus Classic, the Kilmore Cup and the Victoria Cup all in a row. But then the connections made the ill-fated decision to take him over to New Zealand for the Cup. He went like a busted […]
International globetrotting steward Pete ‘the Plodder’ Chadwick started work at Harness Racing Victoria on the weekend, with the great man sitting on the panels at both the Group 1 Southern Stars and Hunter Cups meetings on Friday and Saturday night respectively. Chadwick sat ON the panels, he didn’t CHAIR them. The reason for that is […]
