Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Knight Walker is the pacer that trainer Michael Muscat is alleged to have tubed with a milkshake, the one that returned the positive swab that has seen him stood down. If Muscat has done it, then the two questions you would have to ask are why, and how bloody bad is this horse? The other […]
We waited a week for HRNSW to say something before we told you what we knew about Michael Muscat’s positive swab, but there was a wall of silence, so a couple of days ago we gave up and ran the story. The very next day Harness Racing NSW announced what we’d known since Xmas, and […]
Watch the horse in the yellow. This is ugly. Ouch. What the hell happened? I’m buggered if I know. This below is what the Stewards said. Bloody hell. I hope they did a HIA. VIVID– Fractious in the early stages of the score up, a warning was issued. Raced roughly near the 1100 meters and […]
This matter involves a harness racing licensee, but is not directly harness racing related. As I say, not directly. It doesn’t mean that it isn’t though. I know what the subject matter is, which is the exact reason that I won’t be detailing it. One thing I will say is that this man should be […]
Why not? We’ve got them anyway, so we might as well just employ some who’d prefer to be paid in peanuts. What am I talking about? Are you a bit slow or something? Race two at Albion Park on Saturday night of course. Shane Graham – the bloke who escaped jail on criminal match fixing charges […]

Next you get Frank to nominate 4 of your […]

What it really is though is a free advertorial, however […]
The fish and chips shop at Doubtless Bay When the six-time Group 1 winning superstar Bling It On broke the track record at Goulburn in January last year he ran his last half in 55 seconds, going pretty much as fast as he could. On Monday at Goulburn a rating 70 pacer named Doubtless Bay […]
Adam Hamilton is off his trolley. The most exciting harness racing in Australia is at Gloucester Park and Mildura? Is he kidding himself or what? Gloucester Park racing is crap. Fifty percent of leaders win, one in two. That’s not exhilarating, that’s just stupid. And Mildura? Gimme a break. If Adam wants to go back […]
An eagle-eyed reader has just pointed out an error in my earlier story about David ‘Slasher’ Moran. Slasher didn’t just get done for whip abuse in Group 1 races seven and nine at Melton last Friday, he got fined for a whip offence in the Group 1 race six too, the Group 1 3YO Vicbred […]
