The mail is that the clubs that make up the membership of the SA principal harness racing authority (PRA), Harness Racing South Australia Ltd, earlier this month forced the Annual General Meeting of the company to be aborted after refusing to confirm the financial accounts as true and correct. We don’t know what the exact […]
Queensland pacer Sure Thing Captain, trained by Shannon Price, has been stood down from all types of racing from 18 November 2025. The stand-down was imposed by NSW Stewards. It is indefinite. There has been no official announcement regarding the matter yet, or any reasons offered why. The give away is in the fact that […]
You can see what has happened with all these arrests. The NSW cops were all over Tatts (Justin Downey) and his wife for alleged high level dealing. They had phone intercepts obtained under warrant on them both, and in the process of listening learned of the alleged Tasmanian supply link. So after they had sat […]
The New Zealand Derby tonight was a fantastic race, a clash between titans. Marketplace’s gate speed won it for him, and Got The Chocolates lack of it was his undoing. MP went straight to the lead, GTC began slowly, and had to work hard in the early stages to get around to the death. Once […]

At the risk of being accused of banging on about how good the Kiwi 3-year-olds Got The Chocolates and Marketplace are, I though we would do a comparison of the time the pair of young pacers ran in The Velocity on Friday versus the best time ever run at Addington over 1950m or 1980m by […]
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, and it saddens me immensely to say it, but Victorian harness racing is fucked. Absolutely and utterly rooted. All of Melton pretty much bar the track and buildings are gone, sold to pay off debt. Harness Racing gets nothing out of it except some savings on […]
