Hope Springs Eternal in the Doctor’s Breast
I get that Dr Barry Lichter’s job is to promote Lincoln Farms and it’s horses, and I understand the beauty of hope springing eternal in the human breast, but when it comes to tipping winners in QLD I’d strongly suggest that Doc give up, for all he is doing right now is making a goose […]
I’ve Said it Before and I Will Say it Again – John Stariha Should Not Be Allowed to Drive Horses
We told you a year ago that octogenarian driver John Stariha was a danger, a menace and a pest on a trot track, and that he should be banned from driving in harness races for life. The authorities didn’t agree, although God knows why, for Stariha’s total incompetence in the sulky has long been on […]
Nathan Jack is a Cheat – And the Victorian Stewards are a Joke
This minor infringement fine issued to Nathan ‘Cracker’ Jack for cheating in the 3rd and final round of the ID22 Trotting heats is both outrageous, and a clear example of how the stewarding in Victoria is on the nose. Cracker’s horse Always Ready was drawn in gate 2, directly behind the $151 shot Teetreetommy, which […]
Is Magic Emma About to Score a Six Pack on ID22 Final Night?
So do you want the good news, or the bad news? Let’s go good first. Emma Stewart (aka Clayton Tonkin) can only win 6 of the 10 races at Melton on Saturday night, because she is not contesting the other four. The bad news is that she can win all of the other six. She […]
Do You Reckon Dumesny Has Lost the Plot? – Part 1 – The Mad Idea
The performance of drivers across the state will underpin an exciting new free-to-play, points-based game for all ages designed and launched by Harness Racing New South Wales. Fantasy Harness Racing will open for business on 15 December, marking a new era in fan engagement for the industry. A four-week registration window will lead into a […]
Do You Reckon John Dumesny Has Lost the Plot? – Part 2 – God Save the King
So Harness Racing NSW CEO John Dumesny has this crackerjack new idea, a truly ground breaking one. He is going to spend a fortune on setting up a replica of the NRL’s Super Coach comp, and run it across six months of harness racing. It’s a beauty. You get a salary cap of $14.4 million […]
Run Gary Run – Your Time is Done
This is the first bit of letter that the Gore trot club have sent Harness Racing New Zealand. What they are talking about is the secret HRNZ decision to allow disqualified harness racing participant, blue magic man, race fixer and multiple drug cheat Nigel McGrath back into the game just 3 years into the 8 […]
Stone Walls, Surf, Sand and Stents
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 […]
The Train Wreck That Rod, Gary and Jamie Built
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 […]
