That is a good question. It was always a freight train coming. I know the answer. Do you?
Paul Gallen is on a Fast Track to a Dementia Ward – And We All Stand By and Clap

The whole thing is a fraud. Ben Hannant is an old, fat, footy front rower many years past his prime. He couldn’t box to save his life, but because Gallen can’t either he was able to take him the full four rounds. It was a great pub […]
The Wallabies Have No-One to Blame But Themselves
https://foxsportspmd-a.akamaihd.net/free/geoblock/2022/09/15/DVU_150922_RUGBY_UNION_202209152258/DVU_150922_RUGBY_UNION_202209152258_1596.mp4 There’s abuse flying everywhere about the Wallabies last minute loss to the All Blacks in the Bledisloe Cup match last night. Most of it is being directed at the French ref Mathieu Raynal over his controversial decision to award a penalty against Bernard Foley for running down the clock in the final minute. That […]
Class Always Prevails
John Lingard is the most under-rated racing writer in Queensland. He is one of the best too. None of the clowns who bag him have ever edited the racing pages at a time when papers actually had reporters, or have covered the swimming at the Olympics or Commonwealth Games, or called a footy match. That’s […]

It Appears Clear That HRNZ Doesn’t Have a Single Clue
The $1 million breeding incentive scheme announced by Harness Racing New Zealand last week has been met with mixed reactions from across the breeding sector. On the back of last year’s microchipped foal crop dropping to a scarcely-believable 1367, HRNZ CEO Gary Woodham conceded something drastic needed to be done to address the alarming trend. […]
Please God, Let Us Get Kim Kelly
We tipped you into Peter Chadwick’s departure months ago if you remember, and reminded you of the tension between he and the QRIC Commissioner Shane Gillard just last week. As usual we were right. It’s not that hard to be on the money if you keep your nose to the ground and work hard, instead […]
But God Doesn’t Exist – And Anyway We’ve Already Got Kim Kelly – It’s London to a Brick On – Hooray!
The Chief Steward (of) thoroughbreds is a significant role within the commission, the successful candidate will need to be an expert on racing and have a sound understanding of the industry here in Queensland. They need to be a strong leader too as a key element of the role will include training and coaching the […]
The Champ
Forgive me a personal moment, but this is my grand-daughter Lilly. This evening she won the award as Kuranda’s best player in the under 7’s. Good on ya Lil! Seeds don’t fall far from trees. Her mother is a Queen after all. As for his grandfather? That shunt? Just ask N. Jack about him.
