https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/sa/GDC10012606.mp4 Have a look at the drive of Kevin Weidenbach on the 5 horse. He gets to the front after about a lap and then he sticks his whip in the air and looks back behind him. He is looking for Ben Weidenbach’s horse the 8, and is signaling to its driver Gaita Pullicino to […]
Story by Jon Tuxworth Furious trainer Peter Luttrell has declared his horse was “robbed” of winning Sunday’s Hobart Cup and will seek legal advice after TasRacing admitted a starting barrier blunder ensured the race was run several metres short of the scheduled distance. The Imogen Miller-trained Blonde Star, an outsider paying more than $31, won […]
By John Lingard: letsgohorseracing.com.au QRIC Deputy Commissioner Kim Kelly has responded (from Saudi Arabia where he is a keynote speaker at the Asian Racing Conference) to criticism of the handling of an inquiry involving Kyle Wilson-Taylor and emanating from the Doomben meeting last Saturday. Here is Kim’ response: ‘THERE has been some commentary and opinions […]
The word out of the Brekky Creek bunker is that Crayons has been appointed the new Chief Steward at Toowoomba. It is a curious appointment, for Crayons is a chap named Clayton Warren, a young bloke who used to work on the barriers up at the races here in North QLD about a decade ago, […]
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.

Gaita Pullicino (right) with husband and ‘trainer’ Frank In a letter we published by Ted From Tooleybuc (the letter was real, as is our usual practice only the name was changed) about Gaita Pullicino’s drive at Globe Derby on Sunday, Ted made certain statements that are not quite accurate. Ted said that: Its interesting that […]
The QRIC has issued an industry notice telling us who can and can’t punt, or to more precise just who can’t. None of these people listed are allowed to have a bet at a race meeting that they are working at: Steward Veterinary Surgeon Handicapper Judge Starter Clerk of the Course or Clerk of the […]
QLD jockey Amy Graham was charged by Stewards with one count of damaging the image of racing by snorting coke while jockey Casey Waddell who she thought was a mate was filming it on her phone, and another count of lying to Zim (QRIC Steward Paul Zimmerman) about who else was there on the toot […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/APC21112514.mp4 You have never seen a more obvious team drive in your life than the one Team Dixon pulled in the $100 000 Sunshine Stars 3yo Classic at Albion Park on Friday. It was disgraceful. As you will learn later the Stewarding was worse. Grant Dixon trained 6 of the 10 runners in the race. […]
