Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Another drive that raised questions was that of Grant Dixon aboard the favorite Fire and Passion in the $50 000 2yo Breeders Final at Albion Park. Dixon had two chances in the race, his other being the $6.00 third favorite Fight For Victory driven by his wife Trista, which was seemingly disadvantaged by the back […]
The circus came to Bowen yesterday. First upon arrival at the track it was discovered that someone forgot to turn the sprinkler off overnight and there was a wet patch on the track extending out about 5m from the rail at near the 1050m mark. Stewards and riders walked the affected part of the track […]
The Amused group now has 8 different bookmaker brands. Why? How many more do they need? From inside source, if BOB SMITH has an account with one of their brands and wins $5k and withdraws it, straight away they will receive an offer from another Amused brand to get the money back, so therefore they […]
The most inane race series in Christendom concluded at Redcliffe last night. I speak of course of the Trot Rods. Two men and their dog made up the madding crowd. The drone shots made us dizzy, helmet cam gave us a view up horses asses, and the screen was cluttered with so much crap that […]

https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/IJB18052505.mp4 Serious questions need to be asked about race 5 at Marburg on the 18th of May. Scrubby, drawn in gate 2, had not won a race since August 2023 and had been beaten by an aggregate margin of 247.1 meters at its previous five starts. This horse was backed from $81.00 into $18.00 with […]
The Queensland harness racing industry has been rocked by news that prominent owners Clint and Tamara-Lee Livingstone have been arrested on charges of alleged possession, production and trafficking of large quantities of illegal drugs including human growth hormones, anabolic steroids and testosterone. Police allege that 18.53kg of powder, 6.21L of testosterone liquid in vials and […]
Sadly we can’t agree with The Digger’s contention that the NT Racing Commission and Bet Nation weren’t playing fair when they voided three customers bets and shut their accounts down (see previous story). Our view is that the opposite is true, and it was the punter/s who weren’t playing fair. Two of the three accounts […]
