What do you think of this strange drive down the straight by Paul Nairn on the horse outside the leader? I reckon it was a wee bit red hot. Why was he looking around so much when he had a lapful of horse that he never let go? Why didn’t he let it go? The […]
Movie Star McDeed Makes the Papers
When astute New South Wales harness racing trainer Keith McDeed decided to give the sport away about 20 years ago, he didn’t think for one minute that he’d be back. “I sold up everything and really believed that was it. I’d broken about 10 or 11 bones over the years and was feeling a few […]
Speaking of Comebacks …
Daniel Aurisch was once the rising star of the Queensland stewarding ranks and was widely tipped to one day become the Chief.

Wouldn’t it be Nice to Get a Fair Start
We don’t have a replay of the first attempt of the start of race 9 at Invercargill on Sunday so we can’t show you exactly what happened, but it’s clear that 2 drivers took their horses to the wrong positions and the the starter allowed them to do it. They would have raced from the […]
