This is a spreadsheet of the top ten trainers and drivers in QLD over the past ten years. You can’t see it yet, but it tells a lot of tales.

There are about 4500 patched bikies in the country and a number of them own racehorses, the training fees they are paying could come from (proceeds of) illicit drugs or extortion. But racing doesn’t know that until they (the bikies) have been convicted of something. Racing must do better with the due diligence of (racehorse) ownership in […]
