The BRC
For legal reasons we are prevent from reporting on the controversy surrounding the Brisbane Racing Club’s property dealings, as reported by the ABC. So we can’t, and won’t, be writing about it. Sorry about that.
Can These Eagle Farm Times Possibly Be Correct?
Have the Brisbane Racing Club got their distance markers in the right place? I suspect not, but if they have then I suggest they check the calibration of the clock, because the incredibly fast times run all day at Eagle Farm just cannot be correct, Can they? According to the BRC website the 1200m track […]
An Embarrassing Programming Debacle
When is the last time you evert saw a 2-horse race at a metro meeting on a Saturday run on a Good 4 track? How about never, until yesterday. There were eight accepted starters for race 1 at Eagle Farm, a Maiden run over the distance of 2406m. Six of them were scratched, leaving the […]
BRC Membership
Dear Sir Many BRC members are wondering why they rejoined this year, while others are considering whether they will rejoin. It is should be no surprise to the BRC, as yesterday was the seventh consecutive week they have opened the Members area to the public. Kindly Karl from Kedron
The BRC Can’t Even Get It’s Own Track Records Right – What Hope Do They Have of Preparing a Proper Track?
The buffoons at the Brisbane Racing Club can’t seem to get their track right, which is little surprise to anyone. They can’t even get their own track records correct. Most of the times that appeared as records in the race book for yesterday’s Stradbroke meeting were wrong. So are those that appear on the BRC […]
Someone Was Somewhat Confused
The notice you see at the top was published on the Racing QLD website on Saturday. Brisbane Racing Club’s meeting scheduled for that day was abandoned. An abandoned meeting means exactly that. The meeting is gone, forgotten, never to be seen again. Abandoned meetings can’t be transferred. You can’t transfer something that no longer exists. […]

The True Position of the BRC’s Finances
The Brisbane Racing Club has reported a profit of $1.75 million for the 2023/24 financial year. This figure is correct, but it has been artificially boosted by $6.3 million of revenue being recorded which doesn’t in a material sense exist. The $6.3 million is the amount that the club borrowed from Racing QLD to build […]
Lucky He Isn’t Getting the Job Anyway
BRC operating revenues of $73.9m reached a record. The revenues include not just racing and raceday hospitality income but include the property income from the Master Plan established in 2009, and the combined hospitality and gaming turnover from two licensed venues (Gallopers Sports Club and Souths Sports Club). These are the words of the Brisbane […]
Tony Gollan Doesn’t Risk His Life Riding at Eagle Farm – So He Should Shit Damn Mouth and Work With the Jockeys, Not Against Them
For the jockeys to stop work during the trials today to carry on this meeting, it is just so exceptionally disappointing … I just felt it showed very little care or understanding of the rest of the industry, we (trainers) are annoyed and disappointed at the situation which could have been handled outside of these […]
