Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
What you are seeing in the picture at the top is the start of the $100 000 Tasmania Cup run at Hobart on Saturday night. You would never know it looking at this, but there were actually 9 horses drawn on the front line mark from the stand. Why then is that horse in the […]
See this market? It is Sportsbet’s odds on a race at Redcliffe yesterday. The basics of a bookie’s market is that betting to odds that when totalled together equal 100% is a ‘true’ market reflective of each horse’s nominal percentage chance of winning the race.

A pacer named Bobsled Boy had twelve starts for experienced provincial trot trainer Kevin Weidenbach between 18 November 2021 and 16 February 2022. It didn’t win or run a place in any of them. The horse’s average beaten margin across them all was about 30 metres a race. It gets transferred to Alex Ashwood and […]
These clerical errors just keep on happening under Chief Steward (Darling Downs) Clayton ‘Crayons’ Warren’s watch. Yesterday we told you about the four mistakes at Toowoomba on Saturday night.

The Juice is the part-owner of a pacer named Tactile Sensation, one of many horses that he owns […]
This is what I found on the Wagga Harness Club’s Facebook page today when I went to have a look at it researching an intended story about the inaugural Dachshund Dash family event that the club is running on Saturday night to raise funds for a worthy local animal rescue charity. What on earth is […]
Queensland Racing Integrity Commission (QRIC) Stewards today concluded an inquiry into outstanding Police charges brought against Mr David Reynolds. Stewards took submissions from Mr Reynolds as well as his solicitor in relation to the nature and specifics of the charges and after considering all the evidence and the situation in its entirety Stewards, acting under […]
It appears from the news filtering in that Nathan Day’s disqualification definitely relates to cash sums passed by the jockey to the Clerk of the Scales, former jockey Wally Welburn, and the track manager cum starter Trent Williams. The transactions were apparently caught on CCTV cameras that had recently been installed in the weigh in […]
If, after all that we have told you, you still need any further proof that South Australian harness racing is ruined, and rotten to the core, then just look at the 2nd race at the metro meeting at Port Pirie last Saturday night. It was the hottest race in history, and the Stewards who officiated […]
