Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I am shocked Archie, that after all your years as a crazed left-wing cleaner’s union official hanging out with socialist Premiers and Prime Ministers and such, you of all people would go on to leave Queensland’s next star pacer and working class hero The Janitor out of your dream Miracle Mile field. You’re an absolute […]
Just for fun I dreamed up the ideal field for this year’s Miracle Mile. It won’t quite happen I am sure, especially the champion trotter Keayang Zahara taking on the topline pacers, or the freak Kiwi 4YO’s Marketplace and Got The Chocolates, lining up here, but wouldn’t it make for a great race? One for […]
Is it thy will that I should wax and wane, Barter my cloth of gold for hodden grey, And at thy pleasure weave that web of pain Whose brightest threads are each a wasted day? – Oscar Wilde Substance – the horse owned by Bodine ‘Bo-Bo’ Bailey and his lawyer Corey ‘Cee-Cee’ Cullen, and trained […]
This bloke – name Ross Stevenson – is apparently some sort of minor radio celebrity in Melbourne, if you can call anyone who broadcasts on AM radio in the 21st century worthy of note. We call them dinosaurs up here in QLD, especially right-wing shock jock types like him. He probably votes One Nation too. […]
See who bought this yearling at the Magic Millions sale? Rachel Shred. Isn’t she a jockey? I didn’t think jockeys were allowed to own thoroughbred racehorses. In fact I am sure they are not. The rules say they must be disqualified for a minimum of 2 years if they do. AR 116 Jockeys and apprentice […]
Good morning Mr Butterfly, My attention has been brought to an article that you have published regarding HELIKEDEMPRETTY (Vicky). You are more than welcome to your own opinion of my horse, however Vicky has never had a warning or embargo for her racing manners (pre race behaviour yes). Granted, she is a cantankerous old mule […]
QRIC Deputy Commissioner Kim Kelly has been in touch to clarify the situation with the wrong numbers being posted on the Racing Queensland and Racing Australia websites for the last race at Doomben yesterday, and we thank him for doing so. This is D/C Kelly’s advice below. —————————————- Stewards notified correct weight on the placings […]
Grimson was taking the piss. Just talking the fight up to sell tickets. A la Don King. He and Luke are actually mates. Believe it or not. One to Grimmo. He has a much better sense of humor than I ever imagined. Luke does too though. He is still gunna touch Jill up. Just for […]
See what runs 1-2 in the last at Doomben on Wednesday? 7 beats 2. 3 if the one obscured on the inside of 2. Now look at the results on RISA. And on the Racing QLD website. And on Sportsbet, who paid out on it. Paid out on the wrong numbers. There was no protest. […]
Luke McCarthy is not a bloke you publicly bag like Jason Grimson did on Wednesday and expect to survive. Grimson is Ernie Terrell. Luke is Ali. Remember the famous ‘What’s My Name?’ fight. Jason wouldn’t, but he is about to find out. Kingman is going to lead. Then he is going to hand to Larry. […]
