Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The picture you see in an excerpt from yesterday’s daily law list for the Beenleigh Magistrates Court. See the name in the box? Perran Sonnex? It’s a quite unusual and rather distinctive name isn’t it? A bloke named Perran Sonnex is the Executive General Manager of Licensed Community Venues at the Brisbane Racing Club (BRC), […]
The bloke in the picture taken from an RQ piss up at the Derby meeting at Eagle Farm on Saturday afternoon is Shane Scriven, the former jockey who slaughtered Octagonal in the 1995 Victorian Derby. He weighed a lot less then. These days Scrivo is the apprentice training and mentoring boss at Racing QLD. One […]
We have been hearing for almost half a year now about the new $100 million members grandstand that the Brisbane Racing Club is going to build at Eagle Farm to replace the current decaying John Power stand. The State Government has even thrown $25 mil into the hat toward the $100 million cause. So why […]
The Brisbane Racing Club (BRC) were falling over themselves to get money from the State Government to build a new grandstand at Eagle Farm for their handful of members. Ministers and Premiers were lobbied, a PR campaign was run painting the new members stand as a life or death priority, and the public was all […]

According to the BRC website the 1200m track […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
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. […]
