Told You So – And Here is Another Prediction – One We Hope the New RQ CEO Jason Scott Listens To
Two weeks ago I wrote what you read above, with a confidence born of certainty. I know the Racing NSW CEO you see, and understand how he thinks, which is the same way I do. Neither of us learned it in Toorak, or at boarding school at posh grammars. Shared knowledge like this gives a […]

Racing Victoria’s GM Racing is Speaking With a Forked Tongue About Prizemoney Cuts
Racing Victoria General Manager of Racing Matthew Welsh has announced that Victorian prizemoney will be slashed next season due to decreased revenue from wagering. It’s not quite true.
