Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Another rumour currently floating around involves the Maryborough Harness Racing Club. It also involves a well known OAM (not Kevin Seymour, he holds a higher honour), and the Victorian Harness Racing Club, which at present is a harness racing club only in name. This whisper on the wind suggests that discussions are currently being held […]

Step by step Heart to heart Left, right, left We all fall down Like toy soldiers Martika, Toy Soldiers As a reminder of Rob’s impact on the VHRC I would like to highlight some of his more significant achievements during his time: Increase the VHRC membership numbers from 700 to over 1800 Establishing 26 dedicated […]
That is a rather curious claim for the Treasurer of the Victorian Harness Racing Club to make, particularly given that it is made in a statutory context, that is that it is made by way of a declaration that is binding under law. It must of course be read in tandem with the declaration that […]

That’s Fred Crews with Yannick Gringas, one of the greatest harness racing drivers that the world has ever seen. This Fred Crews resignation letter from the board of the VHRC. It succinctly sets out the issues, and Fred’s concerns about the financial management of the club. These concerns appear quite reasonable to me. But then […]
‘Positive’ Jason Bonnington turned up to the show looking as if he had slept the day on a bus stop. He was supposed to do an expert analysis of the Cup after the draw, but was waving and raving so much that Adam Hamilton sent him to the sheds for an early shower the second […]
The Victorian Harness Racing Club is a financial disaster. There is no other way to put it. This club’s financial management is atrocious, and it stinks. These are the VHRC’s bottom line results for the past 2 years: 2019 – LOSS – $101 845.93 2020 – LOSS – $275 821.89 That’s about $388 000. It’s […]
