Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Jason Bonnington tipped a winner at the dogs last night. He tipped a lot of losers too, and did his and his followers arse on the night, but never let the truth get in the way of a good story. Yep, Bonno got an easy kill. I guess you would want to when you’re tipping […]
It has been a whisper for some time now that Murchison based northern Victorian trot trainer Greg Fleming is a bowler for prominent harness racing identity David Moran, the controversial former trainer and driver of the champion Lochinvar Art. The numbers certainly give rise and weight to the suspicion. In the decade from season 2011/12 […]
In one of the most inane announcements ever made, Victorian Jockeys Association union boss Matt Hyland has declared that jockeys do not want 10 race cards in the city on a Saturday. The hoops are already burned out by the overly onerous Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday, Sunday schedule says Hyland, and a 10 race […]
Racing Victoria General Manager of Racing Matthew Welsh has announced that Victorian prizemoney will be slashed next season due to decreased revenue from wagering. It’s not quite true. Wagering revenue did go down year to year, but only by $2 million, and that loss was well and truly offset by increases to media and other […]
The prizemoney arms race with New South Wales “is over” according to Racing Victoria, with prizemoney cuts confirmed for the upcoming racing season. Racing.com revealed last week the likely reduction in prizemoney and bonuses as the sport battles a softening wagering landscape. RV’s general manager of racing Matthew Welsh confirmed to racing.com there will be prizemoney cuts across […]
I very much doubt it. If you know what I am talking about, then I am sure you would too. Good blokes one and all in my opinion. But I am not sure the opposition leader would agree The $1.3mil Club Lounge is open at Melton. A great partnership between Harness Racing Victoria & our […]
Ben Yole has 6 runners in the last race at Shepparton yesterday. There are only 9 in the race so he’s got 66% of the field. Strangely – or not as it turns out – his Victorian no2 driver and stable employee Taylor Youl doesn’t drive any of them. Yole’s runner Got The Goods is […]
Being the subject of a major race fixing investigation hasn’t slowed Ben Yole’s cheating down one bit. In fact it has done is ramped it up even more, to full throttle. I am not sure if it is because Yole is arrogant enough to imagine he’s going to sail out of this unscathed, or whether […]
We move on to race 2. Ben Yole has two runners here. Someone in HRV is slipping the stable the nominations in advance so they can manipulate the preferential draws, a practice that we have been telling you about for a long time. I hope you believe us now. Walters drives Safe Jewels. It draws […]
Whatever happened to the Stewards inquiry into the ‘Honest Rob’ Walters race fix at Shepparton on the 17th of July 2018? The one in which he ran a busted arse pacer called Kash through sectionals that it couldn’t possibly run and win for the first 3 quarters, to set the race up for his other […]
