Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The story we published earlier this morning about APG funding sales races tonight was wrong. They are of course Vicbred Super Series finals being run tonight at Melton, not APG sales series races. APG are merely sponsoring the races, not paying the prizemoney. Our bad. Wd have made an appointment for a new set of […]
Graham Quirk (above) before …. And (below) eight years later …. Go figure Is former Brisbane Lord Mayor turned Racing QLD Deputy Chairman Graham Quirk the Benjamin Button of Sunshine State? Does he do Botox? Peptides? Is heavy make up for photos Quirky’s thing? Or does retirement from elected public office simply agree with the […]
The QLD Thoroughbred Racing Awards is racing’s night of nights celebrating the highest achievers in the State’s number 1 racing code and revenue attracting four-legged sport. There are nine board members of Racing QLD. Guess how many of them turned up at the awards? Three. The NSW based Chairman who came up for the night […]
What do you make of the Cloncurry races on Saturday? It is a four race non-TAB card that has 6 runners in each race, 24 in total. Four trainers prepare the 24 runners. Tanya Parry has 13. Shryn Royes 7. Toni Schofield 3. Ray Hermann 2. There will be a ton of scratchings for want […]
The news that Tevita Pangai Jr wants to return to Rugby League makes me remember back to the time when the highly talented but ill-disciplined forward walked away from the sport to become a boxer.

https://themusic.com.au/news/kylie-minogue-afl-grand-final-biggest-spectacle-ever-seen-mcg/jxUtg4KFhIc/11-09-26 I’ve told you before that I am The Cooler, and wasn’t whistling Dixie. I have this extraordinary ability to get things beat. Yesterday I did it deliberately for a friend, the one who has had more than 5 grand on Freo to win the flag. How could a man stand by and watch that […]
We told you that the 2YO Kiwi trotter Duke of Bourbon was unbeatable if it didn’t gallop. But that is was every chance of doing so. It did. 30 meters out from the line when it was home to the world. This horse will be a ripper if Scott Phelan and Barry Purdon can ever […]
It only took Bobby El-Issa four rides to land his first winner in five years at Warwick on Thursday. The hyper talented little rogue has beaten leukemia, a broken neck and the sins of his past to return to the saddle at an age (50) when most people have left it, and he done it […]
