Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying

Dear Archie Recent news is that Wade Birch has resigned his position with Racing New South Wales greyhounds and advised his department that he is relocating back to Qld. However he does not have a job to come back to yet. Few jobs going though that he might slot into…. Noel from Narrabri Editor’s note […]
Adam Hamilton has penned an opinion piece published on harness.org.au arguing for owner and trainers colors to be abandoned, and replaced by drivers wearing their own signature silks in every race no matter what horse they drive. The basis of Adman’s argument is that it is the drivers who are the stars of harness racing, […]
A lot of people are wondering why the Aaron Dunn trained 3-year-old Forty Love could only make 2nd emergency for the three heats of the NSW Derby being run at Menangle on Saturday night, and with very good reason too. Dunn has been robbed blind. His horse has far superior credentials to many of the […]

Wayne Hawkes reckons J-Mac went too early on Romantic Warrior in the Saudi Cup and got it beaten. “He slaughtered it!” Hawkes claims. It’s a fine line between genius and butcher. Who would have thought any horse could lift again like Forever Young did? But still it’s hard to disagree. It’s also hard to agree […]
What you see at the top was a post published by Cairns Jockey Club (CJC) committee member David Robertson on his personal Instragram account. It is grossly sexist and a highly offensive case of body shaming a woman because of her size. That type of behavior is unacceptable in any realm of society, and is […]
This is an observation only, although it was shared by a number of people who attended the Nutrien yearling sale yesterday. A number of the lots on offer – particularly those prepared or offered by former APG executive Dean Baring – looked doped. By doped we mean sedated. Many of these lots were paraded around […]
90 horses went through the auction ring at yesterday’s Nutrien Sunshine Stars sales (91 if you count Dean Barings disappeared Lot 90 filly). Only 50 of the 90 (or 91) were sold. That’s a clearance rate of just over 50%. Meaning almost half of the yearlings went home with their breeder. I always thought sales […]
