Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
There is a lot of conjecture on social media about whether Anthony Allen, the jockey on the leader in the red and white, jumped off the horse or was thrown off. Much of the more informed speculation relates to in-play betting. We don’t have an opinion either way. Or not one that we are prepared […]
Nothing to see there. Horse ridden to take up lead. Allen looks down towards wither/pommel like the pad may have slipped back/shifted on jumping. He looks to his offside to see whether he is clear to cross down to fence. Gets a hold of horse by grabbing breast plate. Horse pricks its ears and props. […]
We copped a tip on Wednesday that Bo-Bo Bodine, the 2nd greatest trainer we’ve ever seen, has entered his recent first-up winner over 950m Injada in a 1400m race at Atherton on Saturday for the sole purpose of making sure that the field held up for its stablemate Seventies Hit, and that as soon as […]
How doth the little crocodile Improve his shining tail, And pour the waters of the Nile On every golden scale! How cheerfully he seems to grin, How neatly spreads his claws, And welcomes little fishes in, With gently smiling jaws! What you see on the surface is not always what is there. Beware the crocodile.

Queensland greyhound racing participant Barry Taylor (who is not the Townsville lawyer Barry Taylor who owned the Group 1 winning galloper Merchant Navy) has been warned off for failing to front a Stewards inquiry.

Veteran QLD trot trainer Al Barnes has been disqualified for 4 months for assaulting the driver of his horse Mullum Judy after it raced at Marburg last month. The crazy thing about it is that the victim was his son! Brendan Barnes drove the horse for his Dad, who obviously got angry about something to […]
Much to my shock I have discovered a QLD racehorse trainer with an even better strike rate Bo-Bo Bodine, now the second greatest trainer we have seen. Toni Schofield (pictured at top, in pink shirt) is the greatest. Schofield has trained 23 winners from her past 50 runners in Queensland at a strike rate of […]
Here is a little Xmas gift for Peter McMullen and Chantal Turpin. A six horse race where they have five of the runners, and the other one is classes below most of theirs. Why does there need to be a 3-Year-Old race programmed on the third last Saturday of the season anyway? These horses are […]
The reforms devised by the QLD Racing Review committee and accepted by the LNP Government have met with almost universal acclaim, which is a totally unexpected result but immensely pleasing to see, for a happy racing industry is a productive and successful one, and ultimately success on and off the track is everyone in the […]
View from the starting stalls over the straight six at the new Hollywood at the Creek underwater race track Dear Sir We were interested to read your article advocating for the construction of an enclosed air-conditioned horse racing stadium to protect galloper’s welfare when racing in the QLD summer heat, and congratulate you on your […]
