Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Archie In regards to your story about the horse deaths at the Byford training complex in WA. Have you seen Ross Olivieri’s track? It’s inconsistent as hell. Inconsistency is the biggest contributing factor when it comes to injury’s on tracks. As for Michael Young’s mare Eight Carat, have you seen its last few race starts? […]
Dear Archie Let me tell you, there is no one trying to kill off harness racing like GP and RWWA…… GP gifting their land to a developer in return for the “John Burt Memorial Snack Bar” intended to provide nothing for members or race goers, (none of those anyway, the racing is more boring then […]
A couple of days ago we told how the previously healthy pacers Eight Carat, Juggernaut and Steam Punk died in training on the Byford track. Well would you believe it Jesus has turned up and – mistaking them for Lazarus – raised these 3 horses from the dead. The Stewards must have known that the […]

Two horses that we know of have died there in the past fortnight, although the good mail is that the real number is three. That’s just in the past month. We know of at least […]

Last week on Friday the 9th of June we had a 3YO and over Free For All worth $30 000. Free For All means exactly what it says, a race for all comers 3 and over. It attracted just 4 runners, The quartet were rated NR 73, NR78, NR 103, and NR 120. They finished […]
Unlike the rest of Australia, WA harness racing has rejected the national ratings system and clings to a convoluted and near impossible to understand old fashioned handicap model based on weird mix of lifetime wins, recent earnings, and who knows what else. Read this at the the link below and see if you can work […]
Racing and Wagering Westerna Australia (RWWA) stewards pulled a without notice visit to the Byford Training Track on Tuesday morning and performed ‘random’ drug testing on a number of horses that were working out on the track. Big so deal you might say, so what? Well what is that that two of the biggest trainers […]
I hear that certain people involved in the management of Gloucester Park are casting doubt on the assertions made o this website that 1 hectare of the land behind the 5.9 hectare block that the club sold for $10 million is worth $27 million. 1 hectare without river views = $27 million. 5.9 hectares with […]
