Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The QRIC were kind enough to contact us this morning to point out an error in the letter to the editor that we published this morning from Vance from Virginia about Adin Thompson’s suspension for blowing over 0.02 at the races not being recorded. A report was indeed published about the matter. It was a […]
Archie, On 16 February, chairman Brett Wright and a group of stewards conducted breath testing at the Toowoomba races. Jockey Adin Thompson had a discrepancy in a breath test and was stood down from riding on that day. An inquiry into the issue was convened and adjourned. Thompson returned to race riding after having had […]
The Stewards have some concerns with this ride by Andrew Mallyon on the favorite Rose of Mytrle in the 7th race at Doomben yesterday. Have a look at the replay and see if you can see why? Mallyon is in the maroon silks with white cap, on the fence. The Stewards are concerned in particular […]
Now call me stupid because many have, but I just don’t understand the Steward’s logic in imposing two suspensions on a jockey and then allowing them to serve both sets of time concurrently, meaning at the same time. The penalties handed down to rider Kyle Wilson-Taylor on the weekend provide the perfect example. KWT was […]
The official Stewards race day report has apprentice Jaimie-Lee replaced on her mounts in races 3 and 5 at Bundaberg yesterday because she was too heavy to be able to claim any of her 3 kilogram allowance. Given that the kid hasn’t been able to ride under 55kg all year its no surprise that she […]
Regular readers will remember the stoush between jockeys Tyler Leslight and Wanderson D’Avila at Cluden Park about 9 months ago that resulted in Leslight copping a 4 week suspension (later reduced to $1000 fine on appeal) for calling D’Avila a black cunt during a heated argument between the pair. Leslight took remedial steps by completing […]
World famous in Robina racing identity Dr Harry called me up last night to say that “anyone who criticizes Jamie Melham’s ride on Zardozi needs to go find a mirror and take a good look at themselves, because they know nothing about racing”. I have to say I agree with him. What else could J. […]
Is the QLD Stewards are fair dinkum they will hold an inquiry into the ride of Isabella Teh in race 2 aboard on the outsider of the field Sheez Brutaful. Raffy’s Girl was the winner of the race. It is trainer by Sarah Acornley, the partner of former jockey turned trainer Carl Spry. (As an […]
As predicted Cody Collis has been suspended for failing to ride his mount out to the line in the last race at Eagle Farm yesterday. He should count himself lucky that he was only put out for a week. We have written a lot about lazy jockeys who stop riding their mounts out before they […]
Oh dear. Cody Collis has just before the finish line on the Waller horse in the last at Eagle Farm. It’s quite possibly cost it 3rd place. We will never know because Collis failed to ride it out. He did the very same thing at Eagle Farm about three months ago. Cody Collis Drops His […]
