About 12 years ago the racing steward Paul O’Toole got arrested and then convicted of taking bribes of circa $400 grand from harness racing trainers and drivers in return for not swabbing their horses.

Do you know what’s bad and sad about harness racing? There is trench mentality about protecting your own. The Trot industry is like a big Catholic family.

So the RIB would follow him. And not walk into someone else’s place instead. Or so they think. I’d be checking the roof and the trees if I was them. What am I talking about? The person that dobbed Phil Burrows and Matt Anderson into the RIB. Or the the dupe they assumed didn’t know. […]
Last year the former HRNZ chief Ken Spicer went with the grub Matthew Anderson to a secret meeting with the current HRNZ chief Gary Woodham to talk about a way back into the sport for the drug dealer, con-man and woman bashing piece of shit. News of the meeting leaked to the media. They all […]
Champion pacer. Brilliant galloper. Gorgeous wife. Great life. Lovely family. And the New Zealand Trotting Cup. It doesn’t bet any better than this. Or happen to nicer people. Good on you Meg and Merv. You deserve it.
