Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This weird incident involving a horse getting it’s leg stuck in the cart of a galloper in front of it happened at Alexandra Park in May. I stumbled across it tonight while researching a piece about something else. There are two interesting stories that came out of the race. One is that the galloping horse […]
Kenny Rogers is a thrice disqualified drug addicted driver, who is presently serving yet another stint for driving while high on Ice. Belinda McCarthy is a NSW trainer who was disqualified after her horse threw a positive swab to Boldenone, a banned steroid. Amy Steenhuis is closely related to Zac Steenhuis, a trot trainer who […]
Alan Gaskell was and is a media personality, and for many years read the news on ABC and SBS. He was damn good at it too, and equally as good in print and on radio. I suspect he might be a bit of a mock when it comes to the trots though. Funky Monkey had […]
Ray and Janelle Cross – as in love as the very first day they met, or more. How long ago was that? Whos Countn? Ray Cross was old when I was a kid. He still is. 82 years of age Ray is. I remember him racing my Mum and Dad and Uncle John’s horses at […]

If you are not a vegan you are an animal abuser. Of course you are. You drink milk and eat cheese, you must hate animals. It’s the sort of twisted, fucked up logic that condemned millions of innocent Jewish people to the gas chambers. They were Jews, so they weren’t people, at least in the […]
After nearly 20 months on the side lines recovering from the latest in desperately unlucky run of serious injuries, one of Queensland’s most popular jockeys Laura Cheshire makes her long awaited return to the saddle at Ballina on Boxing Day. Laura is one of the toughest, gutsiest women ever to step on a race track, […]
Here is Adam Fairley again, owning a winner at Newcastle last night. The co-owner Fleur De Lil Trust is Luke and Belinda McCarthy. Belinda McCarthy trains the horse. How could an active business partner of the McCarthy’s – and make no mistake, racing is a business – possibly possess the independence of mind and thought […]
So if, as the QRIC so publicly state, the former State champion Benjamin Mark Currie is not a fit and proper person to hold either a trainer or strapper’s license in Queensland, why does Racing Queensland continue to prominently display his image on it’s website? Either Ben is totally unfit to participate in the sport […]
