Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
See this Ewan Sexton chap in the picture? The new Manager of Corporate Governance and Strategy at Harness Racing NSW? Nothing against the bloke, who I am sure is a very nice chap, but who is he and where did his job come from? We have searched up, down and sideways and cannot find any […]
No that’s not the witch in the picture, that’s the wife. I just like the picture. The mail is that Entain’s boss down under Andrew Vouris isn’t real happy that we broke the news about the company’s upcoming round of redundancies before he could do the advance spin.

Captain Treacherous, Downbytheseaside, Huntsville, Sweet Lou are certainties, and either Cattlewash or Papi Rob Hanover – both new sires performing spectacularly in the age […]
What you see above is the trainer’s receipt for a swab sample taken from their horse at a NSW harness race meeting on the 22nd of May 2025. The usual practice in most States with swabs is that they are either personally delivered or couriered to the relevant testing laboratory after the conclusion of the […]
Will the last one out please turn off the lights and lock the door? Rumors are floating out of Bowen Hills that Entain will be announcing a wave of redundancies in the coming weeks.
