Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It’s Stradbroke Handicap day, Queensland’s greatest race meeting, and it’s come up mud. The track right now is a Heavy 9, but this is Eagle Farm, the fastest draining track in the world, so if the rain stays away we are a huge chance of the surface improving. At the moment the BOM weather radar […]
The bloke in the picture taken from an RQ piss up at the Derby meeting at Eagle Farm on Saturday afternoon is Shane Scriven, the former jockey who slaughtered Octagonal in the 1995 Victorian Derby. He weighed a lot less then. These days Scrivo is the apprentice training and mentoring boss at Racing QLD. One […]
Tomorrow’s big race meeting at Eagle Farm should be dubbed Invasion Day, because that’s what it is, with trainers from interstate dominating the runners on the program, particularly in the black type races. Queensland trained horses are notable by their absence from the Group 1 Derby, with only 3 of the 18 likely starters trained […]
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 […]
