Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
So Racing Minister Tim Mander has appointed the proud Sydney man Matthew McGrath, a member of the board of the Cronulla Sharks, as the Chairman of Racing Queensland? What next? Michael Ennis as coach of the Maroons? Nicho Hynes as Captain? Mad Sharks supported Scott Morrison as QLD Premier? Changing the State capital from Brisbane […]
I grew up on racetracks around criminals and dodgers, and went to the trots from childhood on with people who get you TV’s and stereos to order, any brand you liked, cash only. And my Grandma was best mates with Abe Saffron’s wife, and played bingo and the pokies with her at the Hakoah Club […]
Senior jockey Scott Sweedman was unable to attend the Wandoan meeting on Saturday. So apprentice Mitch Goring accepted the mount that he forfeited on the 6-year-old mare HELIKEDEMPRETTY. She is by Pariah out of Licorice Stick. I guess it should have been an omen from the start. Goring looked looked at form after he took […]
We wonder why the Cloncurry race meeting has been transferred to the Isa? It surely can’t be due to rain, because there has been bugger all lately. Is the track buggered or something? If anyone knows can you please let us know. Cheers.
Stewards inquired into the circumstances surrounding the scratching of SCARLENA and GONE COUNTRY, both trained by Ms. Georgie Holt, from Race 1, which resulted in the field for this race being reduced to two runners.

Told you so didn’t we? You always hear it here first. Linday Hatch to Give Away Training? Many thanks to our sources. No doubt our scoop will piss Tony Gollan off. Good. He knows why.
This below is the Open class race at Blackall on Saturday. The horse drawn the 1 is Han Dynasty, the winner of 26 from 51. It’s never missed the start in its life. The horse in gate 2 is Itsourtime, a dual Group 3 winner in Victoria when trained by Danny O’Brien. It doesn’t miss […]
Dear Peter QRIC have a strict gambling policy which I’m pretty sure means you can’t bet on anything when you’re on duty, even stuff that you’re otherwise allowed to bet on. (Editor’s note – It’s our understanding that QRIC Stewards aren’t allowed to bet on anything at all, although we may be mistaken). Notwithstanding the […]
Coming into the first race at Albion Park last night the 9y0 gelding Tinder Surprise has raced 67 time and won 9 races. The fastest of all those wins was in at Melton in 1.55.4. Tinder Surprise entered last night’s race with form of 9646. Based on that form and the horse’s relatively slow fastest […]
