Have the Brisbane Racing Club got their distance markers in the right place? I suspect not, but if they have then I suggest they check the calibration of the clock, because the incredibly fast times run all day at Eagle Farm just cannot be correct, Can they?

Hass Taiba (pictured above with the horse) is best known in racing circles as the former owner of one-time star pacer Captain Ravishing, which was sold to one of Mr Brightside’s part owners earlier this year and transferred to WA.

The naked tipster had a quiet Cup day after her Yankee selection Parchment Party found the turf track a bit too grassy for his liking, but she is supremely confident of roaring back to pre-two mile Tuesday life with a self-predicted record swag of 6-8 winners this weekend.
