On the 26th of October 2021 the Racing Integrity Board adjudicator Mr Nigel Skelt imposed a 2 meeting suspension of driver Brent Barclay’s license, after he was found guilty of a charge of driving up inside the marker pegs to gain an improper advantage in a race.

Many good judges I know claim that Jack ‘Turbo’ Trainor is the best driver in NSW, and they are not far wrong at that, although for mine Luke McCarthy and young Jack Callaghan have a head or so on him, and a long one at that. There is doubt however that Turbo knows all the […]
There are no big prices among the five tips I am going to give you at the trots tonight, but if you multi them up you will be surprised at the price you get, particularly if you use the Bet Boost tool on Neds. It came up at $24.78 for a dollar for me. That’s […]

Dani Hill is South Australia’s leading trot driver. She is also a match fixing cheat. If you don’t realise that by now you ain’t looking. Just in case you have just found your glasses after they have been lost for a couple of years though, here is another reminder. D. Hill drove the odds on […]
How does this Stewards report from the Newcastle Mile make any sense? Luke McCarthy is questioned about the sub-standard performance of the superstar pacer Expensive Ego, the Miracle Mile runner-up and first past the post in Inter Dominion 2021 before he lost it on protest. He tells the stipes that the tempo didn’t suit, particularly […]
In the wee hours of Sunday night/Monday morning four young men – or wannabe men anyway – broke into the stable of an honest, hard doing trot trainer at Menangle. These four clowns had been on the turps after the sales with their employers, two of whom are leading harness racing trainers in NSW. The […]
There are five (5) NSW trainers presently on charges for throwing positive swabs to Levmisole. Three of them were never stood down from training. These three are Mark Buckingham, Kerry Ann Morris and Jack ‘Turbo’ Trainor. Mark Buckingham is a Victorian trainer, and his matter has been thrown back to the integrity authorities there. Turbo […]
