Hi anyone know how I can get the White Spoke Pattern on my black wheel discs. I doing up an older race cart and see them using these in NZ on older carts and they look great. Cheers

I have never been a big fan of frozen semen but some stallions have been sucessful with only their frozen semen available in NZ. Artsplace is one that springs to mind. However the success enjoyed by the stock of Majestic Sons 2yr olds has once...

The Harness Jewels really came of age today. Records went flying all day. To round it off with Border Control going 1:50:6 in the last was just the icing on the cake for me. Big thank-you to everybody involved for making it such a breathtaking day,...

Never thought I would be publically calling for the return of Michael Guerin to Trackside in Nz but here I am and the reason is simple. Like him or loath him Guerin had a knowledge and understanding of harness racing that is sadly lacking on...

I have to say I am very disappointed with the management of the industry controlled Harness Racing Weekly in that they let one of their employees use his position as a writer in their employ to attack a stallion which stands in competition to the...

Ever since the announcement by the TAB that Trackside was moving off free to air and on to Sky Tv, I have been waiting for HRNZ to lambast the decision and announce it would fight for its retention in its present format. The silence has been...

I see on the HRA website that Regan Todd is down as the trainer of Master Lavros. Anybody know the reason for the change.

Not sure about the rain but Isaiah looks tough from this side of the ditch. Does tend to over race in the field so when the big money is up they tend to send him. Brilliant win at Auckland in December over 2200, blasting the gate and ran them off...

Hi Guys Just wondering your thoughts on which Kiwi horses best handle the Alexandra Park circuit, and are there any horses who would have been a threat at Christchurch who have now had their chances diminished by the change in venue? ...

Now to my way of thinking THAT'S a very promising colt. Really impressed by the way he finished it off.

Race 5- Windinherhair Race 6- Sushi Sushi from Excel Stride and Royal Verdict Race 7- Ideal Scott Race 8- Stunin Cullen Race 9- Let Me Thru Give them strength.

Tonight's ID Pacing Heats are a little bit of a yawn for me aside from seeing whether or not Smiling Shard steps up to the Class. I hope that he does, I think he will....so his race is the most interesting thing on my Radar for this evening.

Want to see an absolutely shining example of why that young fella is such a great driver? Watch the replay of Race 2 at Alexandra Park and the win of Texican. Patience and timing, thy name is Dexter Dunn. What a ripper.

Now THAT'S CLASS! What a terrific filly. Has a heart like the engine in a Mack. Superstar. Here's hoping she comes across to Oz at some point. I'd walk from here out to Menangle to see her go.

...of permanently moving to Oz hasn't met with any comment here thus far? I wasn't at all surprised by the initial reaction of the Kiwi trainers to the increases in $$$ at Menangle as far as them thinking of setting up satellite stables etc. but I...

G'day all, Am a bit slow in posting this however... for those who haven't seen it, watch the replay of the NRM 3yo colts & geldings Sires Stakes Final at Addington last Tuesday & closely follow the drive Dexter Dunn gives Cran Dalgety's colt...

Nice win there in the FFA at Addington. Put away a few big names in the process.

BIG CONGRATS to Woodlands Stud NZ Agent John Devlin, part-owner of 3yo gelding Ideal Scott (American Ideal-Tuapeka Wings-Falcon Seelster) winner of the 275k Open Sales Final at Auckland just moments ago. Pretty to watch mate. Well done. :D
