Welfare groups outraged after dogs die at The Q, Ipswich’s new racetrack By Judith Kerr Despite promises of safety, two dogs have died, with others injured, in trials before Queensland’s new state-of-the-art greyhound track officially opens, prompting fresh calls for tougher controls. The launch of Queensland’s new $86 million greyhound racing facility, The Q at […]
The new 2 turn track at the Q is touted as being a state of the art design to maximize the safety of greyhounds and reduce or prevent injury. Most injuries in greyhound racing occur on the first turn, so from a design point of view getting that section of the track right is an […]
Capalaba – Queensland’s new 366m duck racing track The Capalaba Greyhound Club has been drowned again by a big Brisbane storm, this time by Cyclone Alfred. It happens every time there are flooding rains in the Brisbane area, like it did in 2o22 and again in 2011 before that. On each of these occasions the […]
In the wake of Peter Gleeson’s resignation this week as CEO of the Queensland Greyhound Racing Club, a surprise new name has emerged as the front-runner to take over the reins at the Q. Jason Scott. We have always known that the outgoing Racing Queensland CEO – who in his short time with RQ has […]

By 10.00am that morning all the Stewards Reports went up. Funny that isn’t it?
There have been 7 greyhound meetings since last Thursday. As of 5.00am today there has been no Stewards Report published for any of them. Stewards Reports have been published for every gallops and thoroughbred meeting held during the same period. And someone people try to tell you that the greyhound reports are not being vetted […]
Q: Mr Macaulay, we were talking before the break about your resignation. We had gotten up to the email from you saying, “I indicate were I to resign I will only do so because I am forced to do so.” You then subsequently sent an email that said, “In compliance with your request, and on […]
Robert ‘Bobajob’ Macauley was asked by counsel assisting the Inquiry into Greyhound Racing NSW to explain why he resigned as the CEO of the organization. Bobajob gave an extremely long-winded answer (excerpts below) in which he painted himself as a true leader nobly doing the brave and righteous thing to save his organisation. Q. … […]
Prior to the appointment of the controversial and now departed Robert ‘Bobajob’ Macauley as the CEO of Greyhound Racing NSW, the Principal Racing Association for the dog racing industry had its office at Oxford Street in Darlinghurst near Kings Cross, a somewhat strange location for an outfit presiding over a sport that raced at 2 […]
