Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It’s lucky King Charlie’s not riding at the track in the town named after him We have been writing about the problems with the million dollar redeveloped track at Charleville for more than a year now, and judging by the Stewards report from the meeting there on Saturday not much has changed. The sand track […]
There was a protest 2nd v 1st in race 5 at Doomben yesterday. The 2nd horse was on the outside in the blue, red cap and white sleeves. It’s rider Dale Smith protested against the winner ridden by Kyle Wilson-Taylor, who is in the middle in the white with red hooped sleeves and white cap, […]
In all their concern about whether the riderless runner received a fair start in the 5th at Richmond on Saturday, the QRIC Stewards clearly missed the runner on the inside going through the gate early and getting an early jump. Given that they must have watched the replay a couple of times before declaring the […]
I can’t remember how many times former jockey Gavin Rolls has attempted to get licensed as a trainer, but it more than a few. His latest effort ran true to form by failing. The QRIC knocked Rolls back for a license on the grounds that he is not a fit and proper person to hold […]

Whichever way you view it, this is […]
Is this monument to the Matildas World Cup achievements unveiled at Suncorp Stadium yesterday the most stupid that you have ever seen or what? All the players look like they are from the Kalahari Desert. And we didn’t even win the Cup. The pair of clowns who unveiled it Steven Miles and Shannon Fentiman won’t […]
Stewards have issued an all points missing person bulletin for jockey Nathan ‘Grubby’ Day following his mysterious disappearance from the Ewan racecourse in North QLD yesterday without fulfilling an engagement. Day arrived on course at the track in the largely abandoned former tin mining town on the banks of the Stockyard Creek prior to weigh-in […]
We wrote just the other day about how easing up on a leader and getting beaten is a jockey’s worst nightmare. Michael Cahill is a bit old for having nightmares you would have thought, but you’d be wrong. The Group 1 winning rider with 4 decades of riding experience had one yesterday at Doomben, and […]
Most thought apprentice jockey Sariah Champkin’s racing career to be over after she was found guilty in July of assault occasioning bodily harm perpetrated against a fellow rider. Champkin’s own defense lawyer told the court that “unless the advice given to her, from authority itself, was wrong, her career in that industry is over.” The […]
