Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
I’ve been inside the one time heritage listed house in the background of the picture, before someone burned it down. They never did find the torch man, but the immolation of the house sure was handy for the Brisbane Racing Club that run the racecourse and employed Bill Shuck, because it allowed the club to […]
Bill Shuck was convicted of defrauding his employer Racing QLD by improperly colluding with a career criminal and wire wearing copper’s dog named Wayne Innes, who went to jail for a second time for his crimes. We do not like Innes at all. He threatened this author and his family and expected us to back […]
Wayne ‘Mirrors’ Innes (above), lifelong criminal, fraudster, one time corrupt copper turned dog in his own, former drug dealer, police informer, thief and mate of Bill Shuck. Still allowed to own race horses and go to the track despite doing stretches in jail for his ripping racing and others off We don’t have a picture […]
The Brisbane Racing Club have got their new stand. But not the way they wanted it. $100 million will be given to the BRC to build it. $25 million will be a gift from the Racing Infrastructure Fund. The other $75 million the BRC has to pay back. Unlike the previous ALP government, the LNP […]
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 […]
The races at Eagle Farm on Tuesday kick off at the ridiculous time of 10.12 am. Which makes one thing an absolute Cup day certainty. That good thing? That their will be young champagne fueled fillies spewing in the rose garden before the clock strikes 12. Midday. And that there will be pissed people all […]
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 Brisbane Racing Club must know something that most of us don’t about the funding for its new members stand, for the club last month lodged a development application replete with detailed designs and assessments for the project with the Brisbane City Council. It would be highly unlikely that the BRC would have done such […]
Peter Did you hear the call of the Battle of the Bush at Eagle Farm yesterday? The caller must have dropped his binoculars at the start. “Back in the Field” was mentioned 74 times in the final 400m. Listen to it again. I thought Back in the Field was a horse! He called the photo […]
