Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
What the hell is this long and detailed Stewards report that ends nowhere at all about? I reckon they are targeting the Livingstone’s, for no good reason at all. Brent Livingstone’s twin is having a presently having a few problems with the police and the law, but I am not my brother’s keeper, and Clint […]
Kim Daly sat on the QLD Racing Review panel. No-one elected him. He was appointed by his childhood mate the Racing Minister. The review panel recommended huge changes to QRIC. QRIC employ the Stewards. And here Kim Daly is. How interesting. It’s only a rort if you are not in on it.

Cherries On Top was probably a false favorite at $2.25 to win race 6 at Albion Park yesterday. The filly was drawn well in 2 but is a slow beginner, and was up in class. But based on her two recent wins at Redcliffe punters had a right to believe that she would be driven […]
Yet another QLD racing licensee has been outed for submitting a falsified annual Health Assessment Report (HAR), but this time it is a driver at the trots not a jockey.
