Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Rumors are floating up from south of the Murray that a number of SA greyhound stewards have been stood down from work after allegations were made that they have been betting on dog races themselves. There are also rumors that swabs either aren’t being performed or not being conducted correctly. We have been unable to […]
At 7.00am this morning Autumn Glow was, according to Racenet, in Chris Waller’s stable in Melbourne. The afternoon before they had the mare as being in the Gold Coast barn of the master trainer. Now at 9.00m the champ is finally back in Sydney. It was a nice up and down the East Coast jaunt. […]
We have learned that Noel Callow’s successful appeal against his second disqualification on Monday will be the last case heard by Judge Kerry O’Brien as Chairperson of the QLD Racing Appeals Panel. Judge O’Brien was engaged for a 3-year term as the inaugural leader of the Panel, and has done a superb job. We may […]
This is wonderful tribute to Kevin Seymour made by the Victorian Harness Racing Club as part of the presentation of Seymour’s induction as a Caduceus Club Living Legend. It starts off with a minor inaccuracy – that Seymour sold racebooks at Albion Park as a teenager: he couldn’t have, because Kevin went to school in […]
Yesterday “Australia’s Premier Horse Racing” website Racenet had the champion mare Autumn Glow being trained at Chris Waller’s stable at the Gold Coast. Overnight Racenet have made another stable switch. Now Autumn Glow is apparently being trained at Flemington. Perhaps third time lucky they might get it right. The mare is of course being trained […]

Has Chris Waller sent Autumn Glow up to Queensland to be trained at his Gold Coast stable? Racenet says so. Why didn’t we all hear about that? AI hey? Isn’t it a cracker?
The attacks on SA trot trainer continue apace, this time with overnight graffiti on the signs in the back straight at Globe Derby. I’m not sure whether its by sheer coincidence or because the vandal knows the lay of the land, but the signs that were spraypainted are just out of camera range on the […]
Mark Currie has hung up his gloves. The old fighter has succumbed to dodgy hips and given the horse training game away. It happens to the best of us, and it has happened to Boof at a time when he is training the best he ever has. Such is life. I lost feel sorry for […]
The recent case of harness racing trainer Craig Turnbull and his horse Star To Fall throwing a positive swab to Cotinine and Trans-3’-hydroxycotinine after winning a race at Wagga highlights the very real problem with the methods employed by Harness Racing NSW to test swabs. Cotinine and Trans-3’-hydroxycotinine are, as the name suggests, metabolites of […]
