Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Brett Cook – Cookie – is the Chairman of the Gold Coast Turf Club, the one that after the latest debacle on the weekend should be changing it’s name to the Bundall Sand Course Club. Cookie is the man to fix it though. He owns and runs Coastal Tipper Hire, the leading earthmoving company on […]
An incredible sum of $46.25 million has been spent on the Gold Coast track reconstruction and lights project. To date we have had 5 race meetings on the new turf track, and none under lights. And all we get is this crap below. They sand track at Gympie races better. So much for Nevesh Ramdhani […]
We have been telling you since December that the Gold Coast track is Friar Tucked. It gives us no pleasure at all to be proven right. How does a brad new multi-million dollar track throw up like this? Because it hasn’t constructed properly and is rooted, that’s how. The track looked like a cow paddock, […]
Last night we asked the hard questions about the state of the Gold Coast track, and lo and behold this morning track manager Nevesh Ramdhani goes on radio to talk about it. A Cautious Approach, Or a New $63 Million Track With Major Problems? – Another New Twist in the Gold Coast Saga Sadly however […]
Racing QLD CEO Jason Scott yesterday announced that the Gold Coast will not race again on the recently laid multi million dollar course proper until the QTIS Jewels meeting on the 9th of March.

What the hell is going on with the new mega multi-million track at the Gold Coast? They raced on it once on the 9th of December, and then twice in early January for the Magic Millions meeting, where quite a lot of questions were asked about the quality of the surface, particularly on the big […]
If sand grooving the track was an approved part of return to racing plan for Aquis Park, then why did the Gold Coast Turf Club schedule a race meeting on the turf in the middle of the schedule. It doesn’t make any sense does it? I f you are working to a plan then surely […]
What the hell is going on with this inside training track at the Gold Coast? It’s semi-underwater, after less than half an inch of rain in the past 24 hours. https://www.eldersweather.com.au/history/qld/bundall Is the course proper drainage such that all the water pours over to the inside, or has the training track just been done on […]
The trials on the B Grass track at the Gold Coast this morning have been decimated by scratchings, with 18 of the scheduled 35 runners pulled out. This has left two of the trials on the B Grass with only a single runner in them. I hope their trainers weren’t aiming for a good hit […]
The world is narrow and ways are short, and our lives are dull and slow, For little is new where the crowds resort, and less where the wanderers go; Greater, or smaller, the same old things we see by the dull road-side — And tired of all is the spirit that sings of the days […]
