Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
RACE 1:BOSS BUILDING MAINTENANCE QTIS THREE-YEARS-OLD MAIDEN PLATE 1800 M Correct weight was delayed to allow stewards and T. Brooker to view the patrol footage of the start and to ascertain whether ROCKING FROCKS had been afforded a fair start. After viewing the official footage, it was established as the start was effected ROCKING […]
I know we all make mistakes, but how did this happen at a Saturday metro meeting in town? Loading horses into the correct barriers isn’t really that hard. The horse drawn the 1 goes into the 1 barrier, the horse drawn 2 goes into 2, and so on and so forth. It’s not rocket science. […]
I keep saying that the QRIC Stewards under the leadership of Josh Adams are hopeless, and I stand my ground. Yesterday’s mob at Ipswich proved me right yet again. There were questions marks over whether the fourth placed horse Law Marshal was afforded a fair start, I am not so sure it was, but that’s […]
Cluden Park, a place like no other. Ain’t that the truth. The races in Townsville were abandoned today after a 40mm deluge of rain flooded the back straight. That’s the official story anyway, and in part it is true. After that amount of rain the track almost certainly wouldn’t have been safe to race on, […]

Chief Steward Josh Adams said the stewards’ panel could not be comfortably satisfied that Wilson-Taylor had knowledge that his mount’s head was turned out, and that his panel (meaning him as their leader) could not […]
Due to the photo finish system failing, correct weight was delayed to allow the stewards and judge to confirm placings. After viewing available replays stewards declared the numbers 1 (FARAWAY DOWNS) first, 2 & 8 dead heat second (BELVEDERE MISS & WHO ASKED ZOU) and fourth 7 (OUTCRY). In declaring a dead heat for second, […]
There has been a lot said written and said about the QRIC’s proposed changes to license conditions in QLD that will require dog trainers to have ten starters a year before they can get or keep one, and the Deputy Commissioner Kim Kelly has responded to letsgohorseracing to state his side of things. But no-one […]
By John Lingard: letsgohorseracing.com.au QRIC Deputy Commissioner Kim Kelly has responded (from Saudi Arabia where he is a keynote speaker at the Asian Racing Conference) to criticism of the handling of an inquiry involving Kyle Wilson-Taylor and emanating from the Doomben meeting last Saturday. Here is Kim’ response: ‘THERE has been some commentary and opinions […]
The more you look at the interference that Kyle Wilson-Taylor caused in race 6 at Doomben yesterday, the worse it gets. KWT steered his horse out underneath the jockey outside him and cause a chain reaction that could have been catastrophic. There is no doubt in the world that he did it deliberately too. He […]
We are hearing disturbing rumors that a leading Brisbane rider has become a glass pipe jockey. That is, they have a problem with meth. An addiction being the problem. It’s a prick of a drug, the worst of the worst, one that can destroy you in just days or weeks. The rider in question has […]
