Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Hi Archie, The Manea Classic at Bunbury and the subsequent protest is cause for some pondering. Despite the cool night air, Chester and I headed back to Pinjarra full of questions after a very competitive $30k Manea Classic, run in memory of the last bloke to have more than two clues about running Harness Racing […]
The Joedy Whittaker trained pacer Elegant Grooves was backed from $9.00 into $6.00 when it landed the money at Albion Park two Saturday nights ago, which surprised many because its form at its previous 5 starts had been somewhere between ordinary and poor. Driver Gary Whittaker was questioned about the horse’s seemingly improved performance. General: Driver […]
Story by Pearl from Pinjarra Chaco Eagle has returned a positive from a pre race test on February 14th to the mental health treatment medication clozapine. The horse finished 7th. From reading up on the drug and it’s effects, it is a wonder it didn’t lie down on the home turn for a snooze. Trainer […]
RACE 4 – THE WEST AUSTRALIAN PACE (2130MS) No racing incidents to report. No racing incidents to report? Are these WA Stewards as blind as the starter? Or are they just covering up for him? There is no way on earth this was a fair start, or should have been declared one. The quintet drawn […]
Take a look at this race above – race 4 at Bathurst last night – and ask yourself this question. What the hell was Jett Turnbull doing? The answer is easy. Trying to tank the odds-on favorite on his inside so as to get it beaten. He succeeded. It’s hard not to when you force […]

Archie Re: Your story about Kevin Seymour’s grandson’s horse Fire And Passion Kev may have given his grandson a good horse, but he kept a better one for himself in Fight For Victory. Lost how much ground when he broke?? Then chaired the journey to be making ground still when beaten a neck in 1.54.8 […]
Hi, Archie just a couple of harness issues. Firstly what is going on with the situation regards o? Editor’s note – We have no idea, and no-one is talking. Our 2yo Call it Bling steps up in class today but hopefully he keeps improving over the next few months and Koda Da Moda is back […]
A couple of weeks ago we told you the story of how Kevin Seymour had paid $50 000 (a premium of $20 000 on top of the original purchase price) to buy a slot in the $500 000 Protostar for his grandson Ben’s first ever pacer Fire and Passion. Now the wily Seymour didn’t get […]
So due to a condition that Tasracing has placed on his license Wayne Yole is no longer permitted to train out of the Sidmouth dustbowl, or to keep horses there. Yole is still licensed however. All he needs to do to keep the show running is to find a suitable alternative property to house his […]
