Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
There has been a most unusual rash of photo finish cameras failing at country QLD race meetings recently, so many that it appears to be fast becoming an epidemic. In the past 10 days alone the cameras have failed to work during finished at the meetings at Maxwellton Blackall Bowen Dalby Why is this happening? […]
Maxwelton is a town of just 22 people located in the middle of nowhere, but there was plenty of action at the races yesterday. The QRIC sent Karl Stefanovic’s cousin Sharon out to take urine swabs from the female riders. There were a whole 2 at the meeting. The whole town and a few assorted […]
A cowboy never says goodbye, it’s not in his nature – Kurt Philip Behm At the grand old near retirement age of 12 the great Fabs Cowboy did it again yesterday, ripping his much younger rivals apart to win his 53rd race in the Open at Moranbah. That win made it 3 in a row […]
We have been spruiking Fabs Cowboys quest to become the most winning horse in Queensland history for a long time now, and today in the red center the Cowboy finally achieved it. What a great win. What a great horse. What a great trainer. What a great ride. The Cowboy has done it, at the […]
Isn’t it interesting to learn from the QLD Stewards that apprentice jockey Bailey Moffat is a Siamese twin. He’d just about have to be to have the ability to ride two horses in the same race wouldn’t he? According to the stewards Moffat was almost dislodged from Adashan in the first race at Mt Isa […]

Although I can’t find any records to confirm it, I believe from memory of a conversation with Fab’s trainer Billly Johnson a year or so ago that […]
I don’t think that either Cyclones Jasper or Kirrily are most North QLD trainers first eye of the needle rodeo. I suspect that for many of the QRIC stewards it is. Which makes it all the more ironic that they are telling North Queenslanders how to suck eggs during a cyclone. The next thing you […]
The Isisford Race Club are deeply saddened by the decision made by the Steward on Saturday 28th that prevented the horses racing. We, hand on heart, were confident that the track was safe and in the best possible condition. We still believe that to be the case. We sincerely apologise to all the Trainers, Owners […]
First year QLD apprentice Erin Molloy had a day out at Richmond yesterday, the biggest of her short career to but burgeoning career to date. Molloy, who only started race riding in February, kicked home 4 of the 5 winners on the card, all of them trained by John Manzelmann, who had a grand day […]
A few months back we told you about this young apprentice jockey named Brooke Johnson who rode 4 winners on the card at a meeting at Bowen, from just 4 rides, and we predicted that she might become a real superstar sometime soon. Nothing we have seen since has changed our mind. This kid is […]
