Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
A day hardly ever seems to go by in Queensland racing without a stuff-up somewhere in Queensland. A week ago it was Eagle Farm calling off a meeting mid-stream due to known problems flaring up again, last night it was the Redcliffe trots turn. The meeting there had to be abandoned after just three races […]
So it’s Friday and acceptances are in, and WTF? Fabs Cowboy has been accepted to run his last race both Charters Towers and in Longreach, and has jockeys declared aboard in each. If you had gone out of your way to promote Fabs farewell like the Longreach race club have and someone had done this […]
Look at the size of this new tower compared to the other two, and look where its positioned. What do you think the problem might be? And do you think sightscreens are going to fix it? I’m sure going up so high seemed to its architects a good idea at the time. After all, the […]
Top Of The Moment is a talented but temperamental trotter trained by Chantal Turpin who has galloped in 9 of his 26 starts, or 35% of his races. The horse has been stood down from racing twice after galloping within 3 starts after being placed on its last chance to race truly after galloping in […]
I will bet you an arm and a leg against a roast chook that Always Smokin suffers a problem in the next few days and gets scratched from the 4YO Championship at Albion Park on Saturday night. It’s London to a brick on. Owner Craig Whiteoak has two runners in the race, Always Smokin and […]
Saturday is the last day of the 2023/2024 country racing season, which means its the last day that the great bush hero Fabs Cowboy will ever step out in a race. The question is, which racecourse will he be bidding us all farewell from? Longreach had been the mail all week, so much so that […]
It just wouldn’t feel right if we went a day’s racing in Queensland without something going wrong. Yesterday it was a winner being incorrectly declared a scratching. Who knows just what it might be today? An elephant will probably escape from the circus and win at Ipswich. Oh no, that can’t happen. It’s too far […]
Readers View 1 Re Fabs Cowboy. It was only nominations. I guess todays weights might tell the story. Or Thursdays final acceptances will. Stella from Sandy Creek Readers View 2 The Longreach race is a plate run at set weights, therefore ratings are irrelevant The race at Charters Towers is a handicap, therefore ratings being […]
Nathan Dawson drove the horse drawn inside of the 2nd row in race 2 at Redcliffe tonight. Rock With Nate was it’s name. It ran 4th, meaning that it earned more prizemoney than the horses that finished 5th to 8th. But it shouldn’t have. Rock With Nate should have been disqualified. The horse crossed the […]
This is the crowd at the Gympie provincial meeting today. It makes the Flemington turnout look second rate. Eat your heart out VRC.
