Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The long running prosecution of Glenn Douglas and Ellen Tormey for alleging drenching a horse before a race is over. Harness Racing Victoria have spent circa a million dollars trying to send Douglas and Tormey to Coventry. They have lost. All charges have been withdrawn.

See where the markers are above? There were 2 horses drawn off the front. And $82 shot on the inside, and the Ryan Hyrohorec trained and driven $2.10 favourite on the outside. The horse on the supposed 10m mark drawn inside Hryhorec’s horse was in the market too. Watch what happens. You would have to […]
Colin McDowell is a trot man who is a Tiger through and through. Now that he has delivered Benji by first class courier back to Balmain he’s decided to take a new approach to naming his yearlings.
