Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This is a Facebook post published by the Ipswich Turf Club at 10.00 on the morning of the day of the races last week. The races that were cancelled. It was a hot day as predicted, and the track should have been good. No doubt it would have been too, if it wasn’t stuffed. If […]
Racing Queensland earns roughly$360 million and give about $296 million back to the 3 codes of the industry in the form of prizemoney, payments to riders and drivers, and club funding.

Very, very few alleged murderers get bail while waiting to go to trial, especially in cases like that of the Gold Coast councillor Ryan Bayldon-Lumsden where he has admitted to choking his step-father to death. Bail in those sort of circumstances is unheard of, particularly when the foreshadowed defence is a wiry, muscular 30-year-old martial […]
Contrary to the ill-informed comments of Albion Park chairman Brad Steele on the little listened to 4BC drive show hosted by the chief plagiarist Peter ‘Gleeso’ Gleeson (more of him later), the Government has already fast-tracked the QLD Harness Centre development at Norwell.

Hi Archie, Jill did it again last night , first start for him breaks 1.49. So yes what can he do with Ravishing, we will see next week. Steven Miles is the problem i believe with Albion Park being taken over earlier than RQ were told. But what is the Racing minister and the board […]
It looks a certainty that Annastacia is going to do a Jacinta Arden and walk the plank any day soon. She’s lost the plot, and has lost the support of her party too. Mick De Brenni has been sent forward by his dominant Left faction to play messenger boy, which means he has been promised […]
Accusations of a star harness racing trainer being a “drug cheat” sparked a wild Albion Park brawl, an inquiry has heard, which has led to four participants copping lengthy bans. Championship-winning trainer Jason Grimson has been disqualified for 12 months by stewards after pleading guilty to assaulting Brisbane Racing Club employee Adam Russo. At the […]
