Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
… don’t take 24 to 48 hours to work otherwise they wouldn’t be a very good diagnostic tool if your vet has to come back two days later to continue the lameness exam. And they have usually worn off in a period of hours not days. So what exactly was Yole injecting? And to deaden […]
What the hell was Taylor Ford the driver of the $61 shot Bona Khan doing here in the first race at Geelong last night? Ford came out hard looking to cross the 3rd favorite Chasing Rex who was drawn the pole. Chasing Rex’s driver Greg Sugars made it clear that he wasn’t going to hand […]
Why didn’t Sugars let Taylor Ford go and then retake the lead? They wouldn’t have run anywhere near as the fast first quarter, and he’d have been back in front by the half and still a chance. Did the stewards question Sugars drive? After all it takes two to tango at those sectionals. If Ford […]
Wayne Yole, Ben’s dad and his last friend standing at the trots Ben Yole tendered just a single reference to the Independent Stewards Panel in his support. Guess who it was from? Not his high profile owners Aaron Bain and Summit Bloodstock. Not from from former Victorian Crime Squad detective Stephen Wyles, a major owner […]
Put simply they are joint blockers. There are three main reasons to perform intra-articular joint injections: To block or anesthetize the joint in order to determine if a specific joint is the cause of your horse’s lameness To sample fluid (or synovial fluid) in the joint and determine whether there is infection present To introduce medications, such as […]
So it comes to this. For all of Ben Yole’s sins, the one that brings him down for a couple of years and a bit is tying horses up in a wash bay and scaring the shit living out of them, on the theory that it will work like a jigger and inspire a fright […]

South East QLD Derby winner On Deadline looks to have run his last race. He might even have taken his last gasp. On Deadline broke down badly just 100 meters into race 4 at Bathurst last night. It looks like he broke his left front leg. Junior driver Blake Medlyn on the horse inside him […]
Betterzippit was a good horse but by no means a great one when he was in New Zealand. He won 5 races from 28 starts, three of them at the B-grade Cambridge circuit, one at the C-grade Manawatu course, and only one – a rating 49 to 58 affair – at the metro Alexandra Park […]
Who said prizemoney is everything in Australian harness racing? The Seymour’s K. and K. AM collected $285 000 to add to their billion when Leap To Fame won last year’s A.G. Hunter Cup. This year due to Harness Racing Victoria’s dire financial straits they will take home only $142 500 less deductions when he goes […]
