Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It’s not a question of whether Anamoe wins the Apollo Stakes on Saturday, it’s a question of by how far? There is nothing in this race that can beat Australia’s best galloper. Truth be told there is probably nothing that can get within 2 lengths of him. If you have your life on him you […]

LGHR has been reliably informed that in excess of 40 people – we find it hard to believe – have departed since the new ‘Dream Team’ took control of the Queensland Racing Integrity Commission. The old adage ‘dispense with those who represent a threat’ is alive and kicking at this under-performing, over-funded Labor Government enterprise […]
International globetrotting steward Pete ‘the Plodder’ Chadwick started work at Harness Racing Victoria on the weekend, with the great man sitting on the panels at both the Group 1 Southern Stars and Hunter Cups meetings on Friday and Saturday night respectively.
