The world’s most reinvigorated and reinvented pacer Dibaba was looking for her tenth win in a row since moving to the Turbo Trainor barn last night at Penrith, but with sheep dip so in demand that the shelves have been stripped bare it was not to be. Turbo almost pulled off the magic ten picket […]
It wouldn’t be right to let a whole week pass without mentioning Clip Clop Kev’s quinella in the Brisbane APG Gold Bullion final at Albion Park last Saturday night. When he dramatically scaled back his broodmare band a couple of years ago most people thought that K and K Seymour A.M. were just about finished […]

Okay, here it is. I am a racing fan. My wife and kids owns gallopers, pacers and dogs. We are not babes in the woods, and we understand the go. But shooting horses in the head with a .22 and then cutting them up with a chainsaw is too far beyond the pale for us […]
Which member of a well known harness racing family is said to have thrown a personal positive swab to a Class A drug that once one all the vogue in the 1970’s and 80’s? Has yet another leading trainer had a horse throw a positive swab? Is there any truth to the rumour that Killer […]
