Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I don’t know what you make of race 5 at Doomben on Wednesday, but personally I am not quite sure it was on the level. The Stewards of course disagree, but that’s because they don’t do or know form. The horse in question that I reckon was off was the $1.50 favorite Nashira, trained by […]
“Upon further investigation it was established that the vehicle towing the barriers was in contact with an electric fence which may have been sending a small current through the metal sections of the starting stalls. “Stewards ordered club officials to rectify the issue and were satisfied to proceed with the meeting. “Upon further review of […]
What you see at the top is the official Stewards report for race 5 at Emerald TAB meeting in Central QLD today. Not content with jockeys hitting horses with jiggers – or perhaps as punishment for it – now they are giving jolts and volts direct to the riders themselves. I’m not sure if anyone […]
Bob Katter is my local member, and I love him. The roads are brilliant, the services are good, and you can pop into his office and talk to him anytime. If Bob ran the country, Australia would be a better place. After all, if a piss taker runs the show you will always be smiling. […]

That means that they cannot train, ride, race horses, work in a stable or even […]
Epitrenbolone is the metabolite of Altrenogest, meaning it’s the same thing Isn’t it ironic that in the same fortnight that Alligator Al takes QRIC and Racing QLD to town and gets the Alligator’s disqualification overturned, the QRIC release it’s decision in the case of trainer Steve O’Dea for exactly the same thing, an Altrenogest positive, […]
Chinchilla is a town in mourning. Everywhere in Queensland is, including here. Tomorrow the town full of tragedy is going to race in honour of our fallen heroes. I wish I didn’t live a thousand miles away, because I want to be there. We all do. Hopefully every club that is racing in the State […]
