Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Interesting comments from Bert. Both jockeys were there with their boyfriends. And only rider McCann was attended to by ambulance. She had concussion tests completed before being unable to ride. Jockey Townsend rode in the subsequent race and wasn’t stood down until race 7. False news. Artie from Aramac Editor’s note We weren’t there so […]
There was a bit more to the biff between jockeys McCann and Townsend than the trivial interference. More a man problem. And stood down because of concussion? I don’t think so. Both riders were stood down so that they didn’t kill each other in the subsequent races. The police are involved. Charges are likely to […]
Watch the rider of the grey horse Savannah McCann chop out the one in the red, Tessa Townsend in race 3 at Longreach today. This annoying but seemingly innocuous incident seems to have started World War III. They reckon they needed the Fred Brophy tent out there at the birthplace of QANTAS after it erupted […]
The connections of Ocean Zar advised the Stewards – and thus the world – that their horse would be ridden forward in the 7th race at Eagle Farm yesterday if circumstances permitted. Circumstances did. Ocean Zar bounced out moderately and was wide. If Ceejay Graham had elected to she could have hunted it around the […]
Archie, Any idea who the attractive female jockey was who was pulled aside by Rockhampton Airport Security and questioned about a hand held apparatus capable of delivering an electric shock which was found in her carry on luggage, after a very recent Rockhampton thoroughbred meeting?

WHAT a disastrous weekend it’s been for the sport in Queensland and if Racing Minister Grace Grace hasn’t heard the increasing calls for the removal of QRIC Commissioner Shane Gillard (pictured above) she must be living under a rock. Former Sunday Mail Editor and Sky News boss in Queensland, Peter Gleeson, in a stunning expose […]

Police sources have told the Bulletin 10 officers, including the dog squad, executed a search warrant at the property on Ken Russell Court, Bundall at about 5.30am on Sunday March 24. It’s understood […]

Nominations for the maiden at Beaudesert on Saturday An incredible 206 nominations have been received for the 8 race Beaudesert meeting on Saturday, bigger numbers than I have seen anywhere outside of a feature metropolitan meeting for a long, long time. The Toomoomba meeting on Thursday has huge numbers too, with 156 h0rses nominated to […]
Sariah Champkin continues without a ride on Saturday, making it three weeks since she has last had a mount after being charged with serious criminal offences related to her alleged stabbing of another racing participant. But why do the QRIC continue to refuse to announce publicly whether she is allowed to continue to ride if […]
