Flathead Time Travels on the Tardis
I never watched Dr Who. It was too weird for me. People I knew did though, and they were forever talking about this time machine called the Tardis that was shaped like a telephone box with a police sign written on it. I always thought it was just part of the whacko sci-fi tale enjoyed […]
Just in Case Kevin Didn’t Get it the First Time, Flathead Thanks Mr Seymour Twice on His Way Out the Door
“I’ve really enjoyed my time on the board. I’ve seen many changes most of them good and for the betterment of the harness racing industry.

A Message From the CEO of the Albion Park Dogs – We’re On the Way Back – Keep the Faith, and Be Kind
Brisbane Greyhound Racing Club CEO Luke Gatehouse (pictured right at top, with Racing QLD board rep for the dogs Dale Cartwright) is an outstanding racing administrator, and a huge asset to the sport.

Racing Returns to Albion Park Next Saturday Night, and Thank Goodness For That – But What’s Next? – How Does Racing QLD Flood Proof a Creek?
Redcliffe is a crap trot track and it always has been. No-one wants to bet on it. And no-one but the desperates do. Since Albion Park’s electricals got stuffed up by being submerged under water in the floods the Saturday night meeting has been forced to take place at the crap track, because it is […]
Guess We Were Wrong
It appears that racing is returning to Albion Park this Friday afternoon after all, despite our skepticism about it happening. After a month of putting up with Redcliffe and Marburg it will be a blessed relief. That being said we will still believe it when we see it. What a successful return to the Creek […]
Living in Hope and Creeks
Apparently, according to the Harness Racing Australia calendar supplied by Racing Queensland, the trots are returning to day racing at Albion Park on Thursday, and to night racing 24 hours later. It absolute bollocks. The earliest possible date that racing will return to the ever-flooding creek is Friday the 8th of March, and that is […]
If This is a Joke It Isn’t Funny
Is this promotion of International Women’s Day a joke? Not Gemma Hewitt, the talented and well intentioned woman in the picture. The fact that the Albion Park Harness Racing Club is pretending to be feminist, given what is going on behind the scenes? For legal reasons we are unable to elaborate on our concerns, but […]
Why They Have Called the Albion Park Trots Off Tonight
Not every horse can swim. And due to budget cut backs the Steward’s inflatable Zodiac power boat has no petrol.
