Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Well as you all know, after 3 wins in a row we feel its only fair this week to give Jason Bonnington $100 head start in our head to head tipping challenge, in the hope that the poor bastard might finally land a win. Bonno hasn’t put up his selections at Meltonyet, so we don’t […]
Kiwi trainer Cameron Jones has been found to have, and has admitted, injecting his horse Johnny Nevitts with a substance on race day. There is however a major problem. Jones has given sworn evidence to the Racing Integrity Board that the substance injected was a product named Flexadin. Flexadin is not sold in injectable form. […]
The NZ Harness Racing Owners Federation (NZHROF) has quite properly raised concerns about two licensed participants being allowed to continue to work in the industry at a time that they are separately and jointly facing charges of indecent (sexual) assault against a victim who most the industry are aware is also an industry participant. NHROF’s […]
This is absolute and utter bullshit too. Cam Jones is lying through his teeth. The Canary – the unlicensed syndicator Andrew Fitzgerald – is too. It was not the benign collagen like substance Flexadin that was in that syringe that Cam Jones injected into Johnny Nevitts before the Addington race at all. He is making […]
Someone told me the other day that I knew shit from clay, and was making up any involvement in NZ Harness Racing. The same bastards said I didn’t know Julia Gillard either. Or Aunty Helen. When’s the last time they ever high-fived a Prime Minister hey? Or gave the Chairman of the Auckland Trotting Club […]
“Since when do we penalise our harness racing drivers for making tactical errors in races?” Since they have been LICENCED to compete in races on which there is betting, I would have thought. This is the “I didn’t mean to speed officer, I just wasn’t looking for a sign and I didn’t see it” defence. […]
The Chris Frisby trained pacer Feelgood Express was backed from $1.95 into $1.75 in the 7th race at Redcliffe last night. I very much doubt it was the stable’s money. If it had been it is highly unlikely that Shane Graham would have driven it the atrocious manner than he did, most unlikely indeed. Feelgood […]
The mail is that talented Tasmanian harness racing trainer/driver Conor Crook has applied for and been granted 16 boxes at the newly constructed Shepparton Training Centre in Victoria, if and when it is ever completed (more on that later). His move can’t come quick enough for Tassie punters, who to a person are sick and […]
The Stewards panel on the night of the dubious drive was Steve Mulcay (Chairman), Keith Coppins, Ben Van Zan and Adrian Dooley. Between them these four men have have well 100 years of racing experience combined, including at the competition as well as in senior integrity roles in New Zealand and Mr Mulcay is a […]
Well this media spin campaign by Lincoln Farms and the ‘Magic Didn’t Hook the 2nd Fave’ campaign run by John Street’s man Dr Lichter – a close associate of Robert Dunn – gets more and more curious by the minute. This is what driver Maurice McKendry said on Friday, or what the spin Dr Lichter […]
