Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
What you are looking at is the horses in the Shoot Out at Doomben on Saturday passing over the crossing where Orbisyn died just two races before. The Shoot Out was the only race on the card that went a full lap, so it’s the only race we can use to show the crossing in […]
You’d have to think Rothfire will win the King of the Mountain at Toowoomba today on its ear wouldn’t you, despite the dual handicaps of 60kg and the extreme outside barrier of 12. With the class edge he has on these the Heathcoate trained Group 1 and 5 times Group 2 winner could beat these […]
This is the official stewards report into the Orbisyn incident. It was finally published around lunchtime yesterday, the day after the meeting and the horse’s fatal fall. At least it’s accurate. The question now is whether the QRIC will launch an investigation into the safety of the Doomben crossing. It should, but there is no […]
That’s not Orbisyn. But it is the crossing at which he fell. I was there at the Doomben track yesterday with my young child, having a family day out together at the races. Orbisyn got the green curtain treatment after sliding out at the corner, just after the crossing where the access to the track […]
Moreton Bay dead? Crikey if it was dead 25 horses are having a run every meeting. The horse was that fat it looked like it was going to foal down in the enclosure pre race and ran accordingly, hence the drift. Clearly the Dale Evans running and handling inquiry has become the QRIC December KPI […]
If Jackson Murphy didn’t ride Moreton Bay stone cold dead in the 2nd race on the TAB card at Home Hill on Thursday then I’m not here. It was a hook job of epic Dale Evans proportions. Moreton Bay blew from $2.35 out to $4.00, and wasn’t trying at all. Murphy put the handbrake on […]
This is the Stewards report from the Mackay meeting on Friday. There is not a word about the form turnaround of Nic Me Some from it’s last placing 6 days earlier when it was hooked. There is no supplementary report detailing anything about the ride of Dale Evans on that occasion either. Funny that. Silence […]
A lot of people don’t believe how cl0se we once were to the epicentre of politics in both Australia, Queensland and New Zealand. That’s because they are dickheads. We told you Annastacia was gone once she dissed QLD powerbroker Gary Bullock so badly as she did. As usual we were spot on. The mainstream media […]
So a mare bleeds in a race run over 1350m. She cops the mandatory 3 month ban. And is required to gallop to the satisfaction of the stewards over 1000m before being allowed to race again. How does that make any sense? Horses bleed when placed under pressure in race conditions. What speed is Sakura […]
