Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Our Uncle Sam Old stager, was once good, not so now. Has won 3 of 21 in the past year, 2 at Albion Park and 1 at Bathurst. Wow. Zeuss Bromac Talented but injury plagued pacer who has won 1 from 10 this year. Running back into form but is he good enough to be […]

Victims of horrific child sexual abuse at one of Brisbane’s most prestigious schools are outraged over a proposal to name a new $500,000 scholarship after a former headmaster they say knew about and presided over paedophile activity at the elite school. Reigniting a bitter feud between rival Churchie factions, one survivor said it was “incredibly […]
Bravo Archie/Brendan! A brilliant piece, well up to the quality of reporting by your mates Matt Condon and Mike McKenna. It’s what happens when you’re all fed by Amanda Gearing.

For the umpteenth time this year the photo finish equipment at a regional Queensland race meeting has failed or not worked from the start. In the year 2021 this is just totally unacceptable. It is unfair to owners, trainers and punters, and it just makes Queensland racing and the people who run it look fools. […]
