Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Watch this. That twirling baton/flying spear aimed straight at driver Emma Ison, and landed in her lap. Ison drove the horse that finished 2nd in the Cup. Ducking the baton/spear cost her 2 lengths. He horse was only beaten by one. The only mention of the bayonet/spear – which was actually a marker peg – […]
What can you say? Pro fighting just ain’t this gal’s game. Judo champion in the Czech Republic just KO’d herself into the cage 😭 pic.twitter.com/TXyaajPetC — Happy Punch (@HappyPunch) April 6, 2024
You might remember our story a couple of weeks ago about the serial SA harness blow up merchant Lou Trotta being handed a 14 month disqualification for abusing first his own driver after a race, and then later a steward at the hearing into the original matter. It was Trotta’s umpteenth conduct breach offence, and […]

When her 73-year-old husband, Fernand, died in 1942 (reportedly due to cherry poisoning), Jeanne Calment, aged 67, probably never would have guessed she’d go on to live for a further five and a half decades, especially given the fact that the average life expectancy for a French woman born in the 19th century was 40-50 […]
The connections of Ocean Zar advised the Stewards – and thus the world – that their horse would be ridden forward in the 7th race at Eagle Farm yesterday if circumstances permitted. Circumstances did. Ocean Zar bounced out moderately and was wide. If Ceejay Graham had elected to she could have hunted it around the […]
It seems that Brett Wright – the Chairman of Stewards who made the outrageously incorrect protest upheld call at Beaudesert last week – has been absent from officiating duties at any race meeting on Saturday. It’s school holidays, so perhaps Mr Wright has taken annual leave to be with the kids or grandkids during the […]
Last night at Victoria’s only harness race meeting at Mildura there were races run for stakes of $6000, $7000 (x2), $9 000, and $10 000 (x2). Meanwhile at Menangle in NSW there wasn’t a race run with a purse less than $20 400. The lowest staked race at Albion Park in QLD was $11 620 […]
This is the Stewards Summary listed on the form of Saturday night’s Menangle winner Familiar Tricks for it’s previous start. Note that Familiar Tricks was subject to an Age Horse Vet Examination. All well and good you might say, and congrats to the Stewards for telling us. No. An aged horse vet exam is usually […]
So the way to get Illavabubbles beaten is now obvious. Make her run two quick early quarters in a row. Illavabubbles has had 8 starts for Jason Grimson, and has won 6 of them. https://www.harness.org.au/racing/horse-search/?horseId=819909 She showed blinding early speed in each of the wins, but was allowed to back off and run a comfortable […]
