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 […]
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.
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 […]
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 […]

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. […]
By award winning racing writer John Lingard letsgohorseracing.com.au (Reproduced with permission) PRESSURE is mounting on the new LNP Government to instruct Racing Queensland to deliver a ‘please explain’ to the Brisbane Racing Club over its continued refusal to immediately provide a copy of the minutes of the controversial AGM that was held in October. Several […]
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 […]

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).
