Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
Queensland’s iron horse, the fabulous Fab’s Cowboy, took his career win tally to 51 when he smashed them in the Open Plate at Mt Isa on Saturday afternoon. 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 […]
I am not quite sure how Neale Parry could not have been aware of people who asked questions about the company’s non-compliance with its contractual relationships could have been banned from its Facebook page. After all, Mr Parry owns and runs the company. We are glad that he has let good people who care back […]
It was all happening at Tambo on the weekend – a lavish luncheon provided by the local ICPA branch for Ladies Day at the races, and the Country Queensland Premiership winners being finalised both on the track there and further north at Corfield. Both country jockey and trainer premierships went down to the wire, with […]
