(Another) EXCLUSIVE: Is Greg Fleming a Bowler For David Moran? – Has He Thrown a Positive to EPO at Wagga? – The Ill Winds are Swirling – And They Bring No Good

by : peterprofitracingMay 26, 2023

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 […]

by : peterprofitracingMay 23, 2023

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’s GM Racing is Speaking With a Forked Tongue About Prizemoney Cuts

by : peterprofitracingMay 17, 2023May 30, 2023

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 […]

Do You Reckon the Victorian Racing Minister Knows Who’s In the Crowd?

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 […]

Vicmania in Tastoria – And Rats in the Kitchen

by : peterprofitracingMay 3, 2023May 3, 2023

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 […]

The Yole-Walters Fix – Victorian Harness Racing’s Sick – Race 1

by : peterprofitracingMay 2, 2023

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 […]

The Yole-Walters Fix – Victorian Harness Racing’s Sick – Race 2

by : peterprofitracingMay 2, 2023May 2, 2023

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 […]

The Rort Inquiry That Disappeared Off the Face of the Earth

by : peterprofitracingApril 28, 2023

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 […]

Meanwhile Down Across the Border

The highly sought after Decron Horse Care Noel Smith Invitation Drivers Championship rounds were conducted at Horsham in Victoria today. It was an 8 race card. Guess how many runners on the program HRV Stewards pre-race sampled? Three. Their prices? $12.00 $31.00 $151.00 I guess it’s not only the NSW testing regime that’s a farce. […]
