This was an issue I was discussing with a high-placed racing identity just the other day, and I agree with Noel Callow in the main. During my discussion with the identity I gave the example of a great young kid from up this way who left home in his mid-teens to move to the big […]
He goes alright for a fat, lazy prick doing a law degree doesn’t he? See the soft looking young white kid in the picture? The flabby looking bloke? That’s my boy Noah Conlan, grandson of the former leading Brisbane rails bookie Hayden Flynn; son of the 2nd best looking bird in Far North Queensland, face of […]
With almost 2/3rds of the New Zealand racing season gone, the Stonewall Stud stable owned by Steve Stockman and managed by Steve and Amanda Telfer is sitting 6th on the Premiership Ladder with just 28 wins, and has earned only $430 000.

Now look below. This is the official Australian record of Punk Rocker’s owners. It is not correct is it? WTF […]
There have been at least 4 major falls on the Ipswich track at Bundamba this century. They all happened on the same section of the track between the 1000m mark and the home turn. That one you see in the picture at the top. The one right next to the river. Rivers and creeks carry […]
Jack Callaghan’s was the drive of the race, not that of Grant Dixon. Callaghan sucked Dixon into doing exactly what he wanted him to do. Just when it looked as if Dixon was for sure going forward, Callaghan offered him the easy option of a nice spot in the line. It was a bit like […]
Here’s an idea on how they can “salvage” the QHTC stuff up. Racing Queensland buys out the Motorplex and builds the racing part of the centre there, including whatever community facilities that get suggested, and possibly the van/camping/cabin facilities on that block as well. Don’t know about Queensland weather but the existing track plan on […]
