Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Jayson Adams is a former SA trot trainer who was arrested last year in the major drug bust that brought harness racing owner Andrew Benz, and trainer/driver/club official Jonathon Kingston-Mayne unstuck. To all appearances Adams for years lived the life of a clean cut, hard working family man. He was living a lie. They say […]
To the best of my knowledge there are 4, maybe 5 mobile starting barrier vehicles available for use in harness racing in QLD – 1 at Marburg, 1 or 2 at Redcliffe, and 2 at Albion Park. On the 25th of January this year Racing Queensland paid a company named Carey Industrial the seemingly incredible […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/vic/BNC05062204.mp4 Have a look at this. It’s race 7 at Bendigo on Sunday night, the one in which Cracker Jack drove the heavily backed horse in to win. Watch the start. Cracker’s on the horse on the outside of the 2nd row. Taylor French is driving number 7, the one in black on the outside […]
There were ten horses pre-race swabbed at Globe Derby on Saturday night. Four of the blood tests were taken across three races. The other six were taken from every runner in the last race on the card, a standing start trot race run at 10.21pm. Pure genius it was, so bloody clever that no-one in […]
To my way of thinking Robert Dunn’s past history of rule breach offences is enough on its own to disqualify him from eligibility for appointment to the board of the national harness racing governing body HRNZ, but clearly my views are not shared by either the law makers or by the other directors of the […]
This is sort of hard to believe, but those in the know assure me that it is utterly true. Former trainer Nigel McGrath is the 2nd year of an 8-year disqualification from harness racing for doping and conduct offences. He is a repeat offender who was embroiled in the infamous blue magic saga that cost […]
There is a bit of a problem with how race 7 at Albion Park on Friday was run. A lot of a problem actually. Trainer Dan Russell had 2 horses in the race. One was Sharp Shooter, driven by Matt Elkins. The other was Heartbreak, driven by his ever loving spouse Narissa McMullen. Sharp Shooter […]
Gary Hall Jr, the driver of the 2nd horse in this race Jumpingjackmac, fired in a protest against the winner Double Up and its pilot Ryan Warwick on the grounds of interference in the back straight. The interference was pretty clear cut, and Warwick caused it with blatant disregard for the rules. Hall Jr was […]
There is nothing like a trip across the stormy seas of the Bass Strait to spark an old walker back to life, but don’t tell anyone that because all of a sudden all the seats on the ferry will be booked out by Lourdes style pilgrims and Ben Chainsaw Yole won’t be able to bring […]
Peter Russo is a drug cheating trot trainer from a family of trot cheating trainers. Russo’s uncle Paul is serving eight and a half years for drug cheating, his brother Mark was up to his neck in the green light bribery scandal and was convicted of nine criminal charges relating to harness racing rorts, and […]
