Last month on Stradbroke day the old John Power grandstand made the headlines when the Brisbane Racing Club publicly challenged the QLD Racing Minister to stump up the $80 million allegedly required required to renovate it.

The dead man walking of racing, GRNSW CEO Rob Macaulay – finally walked the plank yesterday, abdicating from his throne in the big office before the Racing Minister executed him.
