Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Good morning, As a loyal harness racing follower I was horrified to read this morning that Harness Racing Victoria have employed Ryan Phelan as the face of their industry and that they have continued the association with Adam Hamilton. Ryan Phelan was charged with domestic violence and in a public relationship with an escort. This […]
Doug Overhiser is a man from Chicago who claims to be a transport industry magnate, but really only owns a single truck. Like many dodgy characters in harness racing, particularly those in the equine drug trade, Overhiser claims to run a huge company that has almost the exact same name as a legitimate one. All […]
Dear Member, RE: MEMBERS REFERENDUM VOTE RESULTS As you know, the Gloucester Park Harness Racing (GPHR) Committee has been working hard over the past several years to put a plan in place that secures the long-term future of racing at our iconic city venue. This culminated in a proposal to revitalise the entire precinct through […]
So Chris ‘Bomber’ Bombolas has been appointed to the newly created role of Chief Operating Officer at Albion Park. I think we might have told you that was happening about 3 months ago. No-one else did of course, and many tried to tell us that we were wrong. We weren’t. As usual. The question that […]
Aaron Bain has 250 female owners in his ABR Ladies Club does he? Oh yeah. I wonder if he would be prepared to publish all their names to prove it? Very much doubt it. Let’s run with the 250 number for a minute for the sake of the exercise though. The syndicate was advertised as […]
I wonder if Jamie Durnberger-Smith went out on the grog until the wee hours of the morning with HRA CEO Andrew Kelly to cut a deal to win Summit Bloodstock’s slot in the Eureka too? We know now that Summit only own 10% of the slot in The Race. It would be interesting to find […]
Captain Ravishing certainly has loads of ability, but I think soundness is or will be his issue. His APG “history” has probably worked in his favour by limiting his two year old season, and he hasn’t done much racing this year. (We will tell you more about that history in a later story). Clayton (Tonkin) […]
If anyone is inclined to believe what Jamie Durnberger-Smith tells them to explain away the recorded phone call he made that we published yesterday, I would suggest that they ask him the following, and request phone evidence as proof that the dodge baller is telling the truth. Who was the phone call made to? Why? […]
The big North American national standardbred sales started at Kentucky yesterday. Seventeen of the top 20 lots on Day 1 were trotters, which was mainly because most of the catalogue was. We’re looking at the pacers here. These are the top 10 lots. Bettors Delight sired the two highest priced yearlings, one a filly and […]
The successful bidders for slots in the $2 million The Eureka harness race will be announced by Harness Racing Australia tomorrow. I hate to spoil their party, but CEO Andrew Kelly won’t answer my calls or messages, and contempt breeds no respect, so oh well. Here they are. The only possibility of change is if […]
