Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The big news out of the north is that long time Cairns Jockey Club powerbroker Tom Hedley (above) is facing a challenge in the coming weeks for his position as club president, and it’s a formidable one too. Prominent local business woman and high achieving club committee member Rebecca Conlan (pictured at top) has thrown […]
Well Archie So Corey Johnson punches the top driver in the State in the head 3 times & he is chosen to represent South Australia in the Australasian Young Drivers Championship in NZ. You are kidding aren’t you HRSA! Billy from Bungendore —————————- EDITOR’S NOTE The incident involving Wayne Hill and Corey Johnson occurred on […]
This was race three at Albion Park on Tuesday. Look at the 4 horse Natty Pager, in the blue saddlecloth. The one on the inside that goes up in the air. How much of a free start did it get? The Starter didn’t see it. None of the Stewards did either. They all must be […]
Those of us watching the first race at Doomben live yesterday saw the $4.60 third favorite in the betting Crazy Eights go down in the stalls at the start, and expected it to be backed out and vet checked. Race caller David Fowler obviously did too. But the horse wasn’t pulled out of the gates […]
Australia’s favorite punter David ‘Baldy Frolley’ has been to almost every race track in Australia, and declares that he will do them all before he dies, which gives him plenty of time to make it. But he will have to do it in new wheels. You see sadly Baldy’s old chariot carked it just before […]
Bart Sinclair rocked up to Doomben yesterday, as he does, and went to go up the escalator to the Chairman’s room. The bloke in the uniform in the picture is a security guard, employed or contracted by the BRC. They obviously didn’t train him pr0perly. Or maybe they did. Bart didn’t have his top shelf […]
Sinclair, in covering some 25 Melbourne Cups, derived particular satisfaction from the victories by the likes of Michael Rodd, “Mick” Dittman, Chris Munce and Glen Boss, a group that cut their teeth in Brisbane. He has also attended a Kentucky Derby, the inaugural World Cup in Dubai and, as a moderator, Asian Racing Conferences in […]
Story by Theophilus, the friend of God Christmas is a season where hearts draw closer, where laughter fills rooms, and where love is felt most deeply — and Mary Fowler and Nathan Cleary’s second Christmas photo captured all of that and more. This time, it wasn’t just a snapshot of two stars in love, but […]
Jockey Daniel Moor was hauled into the Stewards room after race 2 at Eagle Farm and had his ride on the 2nd favorite Iconify questioned. I am buggered if I know why. Iconify is the horse in the pink and blue, one out and one back. Tell me if you can what was wrong with […]
Racing QLD yesterday published a story extolling ‘Jimmy’, the seemingly somewhat eccentric harness racing supporter who bowls up to tracks dressed like a loon and carrying signs supporting certain trainers and drivers. Good on Jimmy if that is how he gets his kicks. We are just wondering if RQ did any background checks on Jimmy […]
