Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I want to have a closer look at this CHEERSTOLOU horse, because what it has done since it joined the Donny Smith stable is absolutely insane. Im Themightyquinn’s track record at Albion Park of 1.50.4 set in 2014 stood for eight years. Cruz tied it when Craig Cross was the straw man boss at McCarthy’s […]
Some really odd things are going on in Queensland at the moment. Well tried older horses are running times that just don’t make sense. Cheerstolou is one of them. When it arrived at Donny Smith’s stables about a month or two ago it had raced 78 times for 8 wins against weak company, and never […]
Grant Dixon has been getting away with murder at Albion Park lately. Last night he slaughtered an odds on fave right in front of the eyes of the Stewards, and killed a million multis. And got away with that too. Dixon’s drive on Call To Order didn’t even earn a mention in the Stewards Report. […]
What is doping? It is the “illegal application of any substance, except normal diet, that might modify the natural and present capacities of the horse at the time of the race.” What is Levamisole?

The propaganda machine of the Hanging State couldn’t get the news about its Stewards decision to disqualify trainer Jared Hetherington out quick enough. Hetherington was disqualified on 29 October, and that very same day HRSNW posted the news of the DQ on its own website, and also caused it to be published on the Harness […]
Harness Racing NSW is yet to publicly release its 2024/25 Annual Report, but our network of contacts stretch far, including onto the floor of the NSW Lower House of Parliament, from where one of the State’s democratically elected MP’s of our acquaintance sent us a copy. We will have a lot more to say about […]
Gavin “Group 1 Gav” Eades – featured in the video above after winning the 1994 Doncaster Handicap, before he descended into drug and alcohol fueled madness – will appear before the Racing Victoria Stewards on Wednesday to face charges over his digraceful behavior at a recent race meeting at Caulfield. Eades – who has lost […]
Harness Racing in Victoria is in an awful mess. Years of poor governance and management, featuring prizemoney raised to levels during the COVID-19 betting boom that could never be sustainable, a bloated bureaucracy at all levels, and non-racing expenses ballooning out of control, has left the sport all but destitute and forced to surrender the […]
