Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Peter Chadwick chaired the Melton harness meeting on Saturday night, as he should, for the Plodder is the Chief Steward. Which is a bit silly really, because what he knows about the trots you could write on the back of a postage stamp and still have plenty of room left over to copy down the […]
The mail floating out of Victoria is that wagering on harness racing in the State has absolutely collapsed. Now this is unconfirmed, but what we are hearing is that the current breakdown of the turnover split is looking something like this: 56% gallops 39% greyhounds 5% harness racing We have to say that these numbers […]
Remember last week how we laid out the rules relating to the Racing Victoria/Wiremu Pinn debacle, and told connections of beaten horses how to lodge protests against any of their horses that were beaten by Pinn riding a kilo light? Well lookie, lookie hear. Peter Profit has hit the bullseye. Do you reckon any of […]
Racing Victoria (RV) Stewards have today continued their inquiry into the reason for Headingley, ridden by Dean Holland, falling during Race 1 at Donald and District Racing Club on Monday, 24 April 2023.

Oh for the love of Pizza! Wiremu Pinn won 180 races in New Zealand including a Group 1. That Group 1 win was in the Otaki WFA Classic aboard Merv Butterworth’s grand but injury plagued galloper Marscapone, who at his two starts prior to the G1 win had run placing behind Levante, Entriviere and Roch […]
The Asian Racing Report is the best racing publication in the world. It has brilliant writers, and they produce brilliant stories. This from October last year is one of them. In these dark days of cuts to prizemoney in Victoria it tells a story that everyone needs to hear. A second-tier global event or a […]
Who won the last 5 Cups? Who rode them? You have 60 seconds to answer. No Googling. Yeah. See what I mean?
Racing Victoria’s CEO Andrew ‘Bones’ Jones showed great promise during the month after his appointment, but it soon proved to be all puff and smoke and mirror and one two handed wankery.
