Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Eddie Birchley, the original fireman (and no relation to Liam) Hello Archie and all your readers, Well I just had to put pen to paper again. Recent events just keep ringing things in your head and question why bother to be involved in RQ racing scene as an owner or punter. Passion for the horses […]
This Steward’s report from race 5 at the Sunshine Coast last Sunday is shite. Dan McGillvray didn’t just make contact with rival rider Jasper Franklin, he quite deliberately elbowed him in the head. It wasn’t careless riding, it was foul. Highly dangerous too. So was Franklin’s reprisal when he gave McGillivray the Malachi Crunch to […]
Is the love affair over or something more sinister taking place?? KO Racing has long been linked to the Corey Geran stable here on the Downs. But things appear to have changed with Kobe now spreading the love or something like that!!! Corey Geran has gone from the outhouse to the penthouse in a very […]
Fresh off the back of the Dale “Handbrake” Evans at Mackay and Jackson Murphy running and handling inquiries, we get two in one day at headquarters yesterday. First the chief Geoff ‘Gus’ Goold and his bad of merry stewarding men adjourned an inquiry into the $1.28 fav in a maiden plate over 2040m ridden by […]
Scroll through to 2:45 of this video below and watch the leader. In particular watch Allanon’s inside wheel. https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/APC09012413.mp4 Did you see what I saw, and the bloke who told me about it too?

Wilbur is going to shout the bar at the Hamilton Hotel if his horse named after it Hamo wins The Debut race on Magic Millions day is he? The same Hamilton Hotel that he self-imposed a ban on when they stopped serving drinkers XXXX off the tap? Yeah good. We all believe in Santa Claus […]
What the hell is the point of this Steward’s footage from the Gold Coast on Saturday? We went to have a look for the head on of Tim Clark’s atrocious ride on the fave in The Wave, and this is all we got. It’s pretty much exactly the same as the standard Sky footage of […]
If the mail floating around in trot circles is correct the Queensland Harness Centre of Excellence looks like it might have died a natural death before it even came to life. It seems that the Queensland Government is running short of cash and can’t stump up the $120 odd million required to construct the much […]
A number of readers have asked how the site for Queensland’s new harness racing track at Norwell fared during the storms, so their wish is our command. This is the Norwell Motorplex track across the road from the site, with the photograph taken from the air yesterday afternoon just after lunch. We’re not sure which […]
