Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This is Dr Martin Lenz’s old job. It is the second time that the position has been advertised. How do much do vets actually earn? Obviously more than the QRIC are able to pay. Methinks we are all in the wrong job. What say you?
Another daughter of Albatross! If you buy Hayley Franco just make sure that you save enough in the budget to pay for a party. She turns 21 on New Year’s Eve. Summerline threw 2 winners six and seven years ago. One of them won 1 from 38. She’s only 20 next year so you’ve got […]
Racing Queensland is confident there will be no problems with the newly renovated Ipswich track for coming meetings after jockeys complained about a section of the track. Ipswich hosted its third meeting back on Sunday after closing for five months for a multi-million dollar course-proper upgrade. After race six some riders expressed concern about a […]
Here is one for the ladies. Electric Cat. The sixth linear descendant of Dillon Hall x Aegean in a row never to race. The Chinese say that seven is a lucky number, so put her to the cream coloured buckskin stallion Arctic Cat (2 starts, no wins or placings) and you will get a double […]
Look at this one. A 13-year-old grand-daughter of Albatross! I didn’t know they still existed. This APG online sale is like a stroll down memory lane. Here is an 18YO half-sister to Bold Nello, who won 5 races at Harold Park. Remember the saucer? Nah, you probably weren’t born. Bold Nello won four at the […]

Racing Queensland’s official track walker Allan Reardon will inspect the Ipswich track before racing goes ahead after the last meeting was controversially called off. For the third time in five months an Ipswich meeting had to be abandoned on Friday because of the track condition despite there being little or no rain. The meeting was […]
Chris Munce is by all reports blowing up about the QRIC providing information to some sections of the media about his having been charged with an additional 8 rule breach offences, in addition to the one he already faces in relation to race day or eve activities caught on CCTV cameras at his stables. Why? […]
Racing will resume at the Ipswich Turf Club on Monday for the first time in 2020 following a major track refurbishment. Over the past six months, state-of-the-art drainage and irrigation systems have been installed at Bundamba which is expected to provide a much-improved racing surface. The track refurbishments come off the back of the club […]
Track guru Mick Goodie is one of the resources Racing Queensland has committed to helping the Ipswich Turf Club overcome problems with its track. Ipswich lost its fifth meeting in recent months on Wednesday. A track inspection found two small patches past the winning post were not suitable for racing.
