Trainer Brad Abbott had a $10 bet on his horse Hy Voltage in the 8th race at Menangle on Saturday night. Or at least he thought he did, but when Abbott later checked the ticket he discovered that he had put it on the wrong number by mistake. Abbott went to try and cancel the […]

The Idiot of the Week award goes to NSW greyhound trainer Jason O’Malley.

The NSW Harness Racing Appeals Panel (HRAP) has cut Tamworth trainer Dean Chapple’s disqualification for a positive swab to Meloxicam from 24 months down to 18, but not before telling the repeat drugs in racing offender that he was full of crap and sending him on his way with a spray.
