Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Stewards want to know how the TAB opened Ikigai up at $23.00 to win race 4 at Globe Derby and who immediately backed it into $2.80 on the first fluctuation. So do we, because if that was the price offered it was the biggest case of overs you would ever see. IF it was […]
Queensland is not the only place where trot drivers team drive and cheat for family members. They do it in Victoria too. What happened in the first race at Ballarat tonight proved it. John Murphy trained the 1 and Brent Murphy drove it. It was $151 and was pushed out hard early to lead. B. […]
Harness Racing NSW have launched an inquiry into Ashleigh Delosa’s drive on the Michael Stanley trained runner Soho Majestic in the 3rd race at Menangle on Monday, and it’s easy to see why. Soho Majestic opened in betting as the long odds on $1.12 favorite but blew like a gale out to $2.25. Fellow Michael […]

The word is that former QLD Senior Steward Neil Finnigan, currently in charge of harness racing integrity in Tasmania, has been appointed to the Chief Steward role in Queensland to replace David Farguharson, who was summarily dismissed a few months back for reasons that remain unknown. Finnigan’s return to the Sunshine State will be warmly […]
Archie I’m not so sure about your assessment of the DH, LTF heat as a ripper, after all its head to tail not head to head…..at least at the barrier draw….. Be a very boring race if Luke is gifted the front and Grant just follows him around for 2680m…….I’d say LTF won’t be able […]
How utterly odd it is that none of Grant Dixon’s three runners in the Rising Sun got pre-race swabbed. Five of the twelve starters had samples taken from them, but not one of his. Two of the five three-year old’s in the race were tested but none of them were Dixon’s. I guess he is […]
Good Grief, If the the Wallabies displayed team work like Team Dixon, The Bledisloe Cup would be permanently screwed down in Australia. Well read Archie, well read, what a joke of a race. Grant off the peg line way before the Sprint Lane to enable the 3YO to wind up. Second question, was there anyone […]
Little do many people realise it, but this year’s ID25 heats carry bonus points for the horse that runs the fastest last quarter, half mile and mile. The horse that runs the fastest half mile in each heat gets 2 bonus points, and those that run the fastest last mile and quarter mile get 1 […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/APM05072510.mp4 What the hell was Adam Sanderson doing with his drive on Oscar Bonavena in heat 1 of the ID25 Trotters Championship on Saturday night? Did he deliberately drive the second favorite dead? Or was it just the worst drive we have in an Inter Dominion trotters series since Brian Healy got stage fright and […]
