Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Reinsman Jay Abernathy was charged by Stewards with an unacceptable drive for his steer on the horse challenging for the lead early in this race at Auckland in August. I couldn’t see anything wrong with Abernathy’s drive watching it live at the time, and after viewing it again last night on replay I still can’t […]
Cowra saw the most protests since the POW breakout of 1944 yesterday at the trots. First there was the protest 2nd v 1st in race 4. It was upheld, with the $2.80 favorite losing the race after interfering with the runner up in the straight. That was followed by another 1st v 2nd objection in […]
The photograph you see at the top was taken at Globe Derby last night after the win of Georgy Girl and published on the official Facebook page of the SA Breeders, Owners, Trainers and Reinspersons Association (SA BOTRA).

This is Harness Racing NSW’ new ad for the Carnival of Cups. It is in our view totally inane. Some had too much money to spend and too few ideas. Just ask Mini Me. And tell him to get a haircut.
With Chief Steward Trevor Styles set to retire from his role at Harness Racing South Australia in a fortnight, the big question on local participant’s lips right now is this. Who is in charge when Mr. Styles is gone? There has been no advertisement published seeking applicants to fill the Chief Steward role. No announcement […]
Helium is a 5-year-old pacer that won 7 races from 42 starts in New Zealand prior to being sold to North American interests and exported to the USA. It was a rating 61 horse who has run three times in black type races and finished out the back in each of them at the time […]
Hi Archie, I read recently that Neil Finnigan has been appointed as the new Chief steward in QLD. That means Jason Lincoln is the new harness Chief steward in Tasmania, and we are in trouble going by his stewards report from Launceston yesterday. Race 4 states: Stewards inquired into the reasons for Stitched Up Dan […]
Brad Hewitt must have felt like the Canberra Raiders at Menangle yesterday afternoon. First his unbeaten youngster Hollywood Strip breaks the Australian 2-year-old record by stopping the clock at 1.49.9 and becoming the first juvenile in this country to go sub-1.50. Then they go to the bunker and the new record is overturned, with the […]
