If Ben Hope was a horse and they’d put him for sale at Canterbury Agricultural Park as a yearling he would have been the top price lot. Any buyer would want this well conformed colt by the multiple group 1 winning champion sire Greg Hope out of the multiple group 1 winning dam Nina Hope, […]
He’s red hot the Canary isn’t he? I refer of course to Andrew Fitzgerald, the owner/promoter of the dodgiest syndication outfit north of Dunedin, the deliciously named Off N Gone Racing. In May last year the Canary sold a bunch of suckers some shares in a slow six-year old mare by the name of Northview […]

The decision in the RIB case of Cam Jones and the needle has been handed down, and the bum has been disqualified for 21 months. Without giving too much away, that is the least of his troubles right now. Good bye for the moment and good riddance. The Canary – Andrew Fitzgerald – has been […]
This is absolute and utter bullshit too. Cam Jones is lying through his teeth. The Canary – the unlicensed syndicator Andrew Fitzgerald – is too. It was not the benign collagen like substance Flexadin that was in that syringe that Cam Jones injected into Johnny Nevitts before the Addington race at all. He is making […]
Disgraced harness racing trainer Cam Jones has formally lodged his plea of guilty to charges of doping one of his horses on the way to the races a couple of months ago.
