Last week in the Northern Southland Cup there was a protest put in when Beaudine Bad Babe was denied room in the passing lane. Whatever the reason the descison was made and its history, however afterwards Brent Shirley the driver of Vi Et Animo...

Two stalwarts of harness racing have passed away recently, Bryce Buchanan and Jim Smith. Both were great horsemen that had forgotten more than most of us had learned and both were what makes our industry what it is. Like thousands of others, I was...

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...
