Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Club Menangle CEO Bruce Christison has been openly critical of Harness Racing NSW in the club’s recently released annual report, lending weight to rumors that all is not well between NSW’s richest club and the Principal Racing Authority. The issue behind the rift is the distribution of the State’s harness racing wagering revenue, which Menangle […]
First came the Miracle Mile. Next the Ladyship Mile. The Battle of Beersheba came after that. Then there was the Eureka. And now we have Club Menangle’s newest race. The extract at the top is from Menangle’s 2023/24 Annual Report. Cost pressures obviously meant that they had to make the proof reader redundant. But in […]
This is the race that was the catalyst for the QRIC Stewards seizing Nathan Dawson’s phone. It is race 2 at Marburg on the 7th of April 2024, run over the sprint distance of 1850m. Dawson is driving the odds-on favorite Kiwi Royalty trained by Trent Hodges. Kiwi Royalty is drawn the 1, and is […]
Many are wondering how Its Tough got a run in Friday night’s NZ Derby at Addington over Next Level, who has been made 1st emergency despite having a higher rating than the other horse. https://infohorse.hrnz.co.nz/datahrs/fields/120632fd.htm#field-66311-race-8-dl The answer is simple.

As the caller said there are certainly some ways to get beaten in this punting game. And I have this amazing ability to find them all. This one above is yet another.
There is a troubling rumor drifting across Queensland trot tracks about a looming betting scandal soon to break. We don’t have enough information to publish names, but things being mentioned are a high-profile owner, a driver who may or may not be competing in the Ultimate Drivers Championship, the punt, and $30 000. That’s all […]
If you have even in your life seen a trotter that should have been disqualified – or better put, must have been disqualified -from a win its the leader here in this race at Stawell. Driver Chris ‘the Puppet’ Alford should have his nickname changed to the Puppet Master, for after seeing this you’d have […]
I know the 7-year-old pacer King Kulafu well, as one of my mates used to own the pacer King Kulafu and another used to train it. The horse was a dog. It would pull, hang, gallop randomly during races, and turn it up in weak events that it was entitled to win. My mate gave […]
