Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Tasha Chambers was very, very lucky that the five Stewards on duty at Rockhampton yesterday were seemingly blind, for if they weren’t she would likely have found herself sitting on the sidelines for a while. Fellow jockey Chris Meehan might have been too. Chambers is on the horse in the purple and white with striped […]
If you were on Idle Flyer (purple, white cap) in the last race on the Kenso at Randwick on Wednesday you would have thrown your ticket into the rubbish bin and headed for the exit at the 200m mark. Not Zac Lloyd though. Give Up never won a race, and Lloyd didn’t give up. He […]
I’m not sure whether apprentice rider Amy O’Driscoll was trying to channel Cyril Small (Vo Rogue) or Jim Cassidy (Might and Power) in this recent race at Wagga, but it didn’t work. It usually doesn’t unless you are on a champion, and no-one ever accused O’Driscoll’s mount Ledecky’s Dream of being that. Ledecky’s Dream finished […]
Justin Huxtable appeared in Cairns court today for a further mention of his criminal charge/s. No further information is available. Like all criminal matters, this case no doubt shall wander on through the system at its own pace.
A little bird tells me today’s a special occasion for Mrs. Pamela O’Neill. Pam’s a pioneer for women, and a giant among men. I’m honored to call her my friend. Happy Birthday Pammy. Only seven more to go to catch Bradman.

Look at James McDonald give it to Zac Purton. There was no way he was ever going to get out of that pocket. J-Mac is not just the best jockey in the world, he’s the toughest too. Lesser riders would have been pushed aside by Purton, but not this bloke. If you ever needed an […]
Queensland’s most suspended apprentice jockey clearly didn’t make a new years resolution to ride with care, for he has started 2025 in much the same manner that he left 2o24. Suspended for careless riding. We speak of course about Dan McGillivray, the lesser talented of the errant jockey brothers (Matthew McGillivray being the other), and […]
Queensland jockey Jackson Morris was yesterday suspended from race riding for 4 months for failing an on-course breath test at the Ballina races on Boxing Day. Morris’s case is near identical to Day’s. Both men arrived at work (the racecourse) with alcohol still on their systems, both were directed to participate in random breath testing, […]
What was surely one of the last racing appeals heard by QCAT under the old (pre-Racing Appeals Panel) system was also one of the most ridiculous too. QRIC Stewards had found Kyle Wilson-Taylor guilty of improper riding in a midweek race at Doomben in the winter of 2022 and suspended him for 4 weeks. KWT […]
