Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Yet one more Queensland rider has been done for submitting a dodgy Health Assessment Report. It was apprentice Rob Thorburn this time. Thorburn changed the dates on his 2023/34 report and held it out to be the valid 2025/26 assessment. He dobbed himself in as soon as the QJA sent out their circular advising jockeys […]
Another Queensland jockey has been stood down from riding. It’s apprentice Mitch Goring this time. We don’t know at this stage the reason why, but judging by recent events it will be either a positive test result or, more likely, a doctored Health Assessment Report. These errant jockeys are giving the integrity officials a lot […]
Here is another jockey who has allowed themselves to be recorded ingesting what appears to be, and in my experience and opinion is highly likely to be, cocaine. This time it is rider Casey Waddell. We are led to believe the video was taken at or around the same time as the video of Amy […]
The QRIC Stewards were quick to act after becoming aware of the video recording we published this morning of jockey Amy Graham snorting what appears to be cocaine. Not only did they drug test Graham today at the races, the Stewards went so far as to stand her down from riding pending an inquiry into […]
No celebrations today son James McDonald not going to the death to control the speed is one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever seen by the world’s best jockey. Then, not to take off with Mark Twain in the death by Blake Shinn on Antino is mind-boggling. Very disappointing to say the least. Dr […]
A lot of people want to tell you that James McDonald is the best rider in the world, and sometimes it is true. Today wasn’t one of them. What the hell was J-Mac doing letting J. Mott on the rank outsider push he and Via Sistina 3-wide early? McDonald had the rights to the position […]
Amy Graham. She is the poor woman who was with Chris Caserta when he drowned. It is not known when the video was taken, or why the hell she allowed it to be filmed, but it looks to be relatively recent. Anyone able to zoom in enough on the calendar will be able to tell […]
Is this who I think it is snorting coke in the video below? A prominent but troubled QLD jockey who has had addiction problems in the past but told the press a couple of years ago that they were clean? It doesn’t look like they are too clean here does it? Oh dear.
We’re here at the Racing Appeals Panel this morning for Noel Callow’s appeal against his 10 month disqualification on two charges of conduct detrimental to the interests of racing related to the incidents in Darwin last year that were recorded on video and later surfaced on social media, after it is rumored former jockey Group […]
Callow’s barrister Stirling kicks off by saying that there is no argument that racism is wrong and totally unacceptable, and that his client acknowledges and accepts this. His client accepts that he behaved foolishly, offensively and in a racist and gratuitous manner toward people he did not know on the street. Stirling says that Callow’s […]
