Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
2 horses late scratched from a 10 horse field because there was no jockey available to ride them. This is what happens when you program TAB meetings with no more than 8 starters in any race but 1 on the card. Only 8 riders turn up to take mounts. It’s not a real hard conundrum […]
You’d love to be able to look at the replay of race 5 at Toowoomba on Saturday night so you could form an opinion on the protest decision, but just you go and try. The replays of races 4 and 6 are up, but there are none of the 5th that can be accessed from […]
The findings of the review of the planned Olympic venues commissioned by the State Government are in, and the proposed redevelopment of Albion Park is out. The review has called for the planned venue on the trot site to be relocated to another site in the northern suburbs of Brisbane – probably Marchant Park or […]
Warwick Satherley, the former Kiwi jockey who spent around 2 decades away from the pro track before returning to the saddle last year, has come back to riding with a bang. Satherley slaughtered them at Callaghan Park yesterday, kicking home 4 winners and a 2nd from just 6 rides and earning almost $4ooo for his […]
Jockey Scott Sheargold has never been known for his intelligence, but even a brain dead moron knows not to accept three mounts in a single race, and only a self-centered clown would fail to inform the connections of the two horses that they didn’t want to ride that they weren’t available to fulfil their promised […]
We didn’t want to write it for legal reasons last week when we broke the story, but everyone now knows that it is jockey Sariah Champkin who has been charged with one count of assault occasioning bodily harm on a fellow licensee and another of willful damage by Queensland Police following the alleged stabbing incident […]
How great a concept is the Protostar? It’s a race for 2YO’s worth half a million dollars run during the QLD winter carnival. That money is more than double the stakes that 2YO’s can race for anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere, making it a massive target for trainers all around Australia and New Zealand, and […]
Archie, Attached is an article written by racecaller/journalist Tony McMahon. It is checked and correct. Now I agree the responsibility to weigh in falls on the jockey. However, what were Stewards doing? The chairman of the meeting was 22yo Hayden Gillett. Gillett is still listed on the QRIC staff chart as a cadet (and was […]
What a joke it was at the Barcaldine Races. After the first race jockey A Butler took over 10 minutes to return to scale then weighed in hunched over on scales. He was completely exhausted. Despite that, Butler was then allowed to weigh out for the second race. It was only when the horses were […]
We have been spruiking Fabs Cowboys quest to become the most winning horse in Queensland history for a long time now, and today in the red center the Cowboy finally achieved it. What a great win. What a great horse. What a great trainer. What a great ride. The Cowboy has done it, at the […]
