Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
On Friday 15 March 2024 Harness Racing NSW (HRNSW) Stewards commenced an Inquiry into the late scratching of the horses WHODAT BOODAT, BUTTER CUP, MY ULTIMATE LEVI and MOOPS from the Broken Hill Harness Race Meeting on that date. The inquiry was adjourned to allow Stewards to obtain further information in relation to the scratchings […]
Do you remember a story we wrote a couple of months ago in which we predicted days before it happened that SA trot trainer Ryan Hyrhorec’s runner in the Broken Hill Cup would be scratched due to a claimed float breakdown? What Price Ryan Hryhorec Scratches My Ultimate Levi From Friday Night’s Broken Hill Cup? […]
Jack Trainor has seen the writing on the wall and done an Emma Stewart overnight. All of his stable horses – including last start Group 1 winner Aardies Express – have been transferred to Jason Grimson in the past 24 hour, with the transfers approved by Harness Racing NSW. That’s what you call jumping before […]
On the 5th of December last year trot trainer Emma Stewart was disqualified for 6 months after Stewards caught her race-day treating two horses by drenching them with something that she says was saline, but the Stewards say – quite correctly in my view – contained a perfomance enhancing substance.

The mail is that Jack Trainor’s soon to be announced second positive swab involves another NZ import from the Souh Island, which shouldn’t surprise anyone, for plenty of the trainers there are dodgy and so are some of the vets.

As a New Zealand citizen myself – the only Geebung born, bred and raised Kiwi that I know – I fully understand the reluctance of the average All Blacks fan wearer to reach into their pocket and pull out a quid. Money is hard to come by in Aeroatoa so spending it hurts But when […]
Aaron Bain Racing’s rapid rise in South Australian thoroughbred racing is set to go to another level with the move to the former Lindsay Park property in Angaston. The historic horse haven in the Barossa Valley, made famous by Colin Hayes as Lindsay Park and then Kildalton Park with the McEvoy’s will be known as […]
There have been rumors floating around for a long time that trainer Ben Smith was a glass pipe jockey. After his guilty plea yesterday to having had prohibited substances on board in his system when swabbed at his Kembla Grange stables on the 4th of April, you have to suspect that the rumors were right. […]
Central north-west NSW trainer Dwayne Brown has been training for a long time, and until recently hasn’t had a whole lot of success, winning only around $125 000 in prizemoney in the 22 years from 2ooo to 2022. After more than 2 decades of trying it suddenly seemed to click for Brown in 2023, and […]
He looks a bit like his trainer Swayzee, doesn’t he? I cast doubt earlier in the week on Jason Grimson’s ability to bring Swayzee back for a successful third prep in the Brisbane Winter Carnival, but on the evidence of his win at Menangle last night it appears that I may have been very, very […]
