Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This is the Gold Coast weather radar at 2.00am eastern standard time. Not a cloud in the sky or anywhere thereabouts. Beautiful. Now it’s all up to the track holding together. Will we get through today’s Magic Millions meeting before they retire the current course proper forever? Like us all, I hope so. May the […]
See that? It’s an extract from the Queensland Liquor Act published on the State Government website business.qld.gov.au. Now look this. It’s a story on Racenet, accompanied by a quote from the Chairman of the Gold Coast Turf Club Brett Cook. Gold Coast Turf Club chairman Brett Cook confirmed anyone who shows up with a general […]
The beach was safer than the track, and in better condition too This is the Stewards vision of the 2nd race on the aborted Magic Millions day, the last one run before they called the whole thing off. Look at this goddamn track. Those clods being thrown up could have taken out a horse or […]
What you see in the picture comes from the widely read primary producers bible, the Farmers Online website. Every farmer in the nation checks their weather forecasts here, for their livings depend on knowing when the rain is coming, and none of them trust the BOM. https://www.farmonlineweather.com.au/long-range-forecast/28-day-rain/qld/southeast-coast We are being told a great lie right […]
This is the official release from Racing QLD. I am confused. Is this reality or spin?

Gold Coast track curator Nevesh Ramdhani suspects a rogue sprinkler was partly behind Saturday’s debacle, which saw the Magic Millions meeting called off after just two races. Ramdhani, who says he is not 100 per cent sure what caused a wet spot on the turn to appear on Saturday morning, says he was let down […]
Someone from the Gold Coast Turf Club – my guess is Nevesh Ramdhani – arrives at the track at the crack of dawn to inspect it. Ramdhani – who has dumped 44mm of water from the infield pond onto the track over the previous few days – finds to his horror that the area of […]
If Nevesh Ramdhani had of been in charge of the Eagle Farm rebuild we would have got it right first time and saved tens of millions of dollars. This bloke is the consummate professional, and everything that they did wrong at the Farm, or didn’t do at all – he is doing right. Nevesh’s latest […]
Nevesh Ramdhani is the best track manager in Australia, bar none, so the Gold Coast Turf Club securing his services is the greatest coup for Queensland racing since Cole Diesel won the Caulfied Cup. He has the respect of everyone: jockeys, trainers, racing administrators, PVL, and most of all the hardest mob to please, us, the […]
