Einasleigh Ellie chimes in with a first hand report on our reported D. Reynolds knockout. It is a bit different to the one that we heard. But Ellie has eyes, and is usually pretty accurate. Assuming that she is right – and even though there are two sides to every story, it’s a fair bet […]

It’s an extract from the QRIC Penalty Sentencing Guidelines for offences proven to have been committed by errant thoroughbred racing licensees. What it’s talking about is the compatibility of the guidelines with the legal rights that a person has under the QLD Human Rights Act. The bit we are interested in is this one: The […]
In harness racing a horse has to qualify to be eligible to race. They qualify by running in trials so that the Stewards can be satisfied that they are appropriate horses to represent the sport on the public stage. Stewards come and Stewards go, and in this world we all see things slightly differently, even […]
Well if this was the first major test of the new Racing Appeals Panel in Queensland it has failed. Both of Desleigh Forster’s runners at Doomben today have been scratched.
