Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Funny things are happening tonight at the NZ Harness Racing Awards ceremony. First of all someone has put up all the results up on HRNZ website when they are only half way through the presentation. That takes the excitement and intrigue out of things somewhat doesn’t. The buck always stops at the top. Brad Steele […]
The NZ harness racing awards are on tonight. Right now they are halfway through. But I know all the winners, even for the awards that haven’t been presented. It’s not because I am Nostradamus. HRNZ have stuffed up and put all the results up on their website before they are announced by mistake. Bet N […]
The driver of the winner of race 1 at Bathurst last night escaped sanction for what looked to be repeated breaches of the whip rule. In race 2 the driver of the winner was fined $200. They both looked pretty similar uses of the whip to me. So how come only one of the drivers […]
Just had some reports from on the ground at Tumbarumba. They are all saying that the 15-year-old kid caller Vini Donnelly is slaying them. He should be calling at Caulfield the good judges assert. Apparently he is a lovely young man to talk to as well. How good is he. Very is the answer. He […]

So do I. Who doesn’t? Oink oink.
The strong mail out of George Street is that the exceptionally able Catherine Clarlk, one of the top sports administrators in the Dominion, has been told that her tenure as QRIC Commissioner is soon to be over. Apparently the QRIC itself is all but a dead duck too. Whether Kim Kelly decides to ride out […]
What are you supposed to do when someone disrespects your family? Smile at them and say its okay? I don’t think so. You a man or a mouse? Fuck my hand hurts. It’s cut and might even be broken. But I reckon his head is hurting a whole lot more. Shouldn’t have tried to bottle […]
