Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
If you have been convicted of any of the above offences, and your conviction was recorded after 1 July 2016, you cannot get a racing license of any description in Queensland. You are totally banned. If you were convicted prior to 2016 you are subject to the fit and proper test, and at its own […]
Twin Hills (Fri-Sat) I think it’s because I like sex more than somewhat, but whenever I hear the name Twin Hills I think of Maggie’s boobs, and when they run a double header the imaginations starts running away from me if I don’t pull it back quick (oops, gave myself up), so we will concentrate […]
Jack Bruce is a new trainer on the Brisbane scene who many don’t know, but they will soon. This young Deagon based trainer is a gun. He won the Weetwood yesterday with Axe, It was worth $87 000 to the winner. That makes it over $400 000 in earnings for Bruce just 8 weeks into […]

Bob Bentley in a dry gully, where he belonged IN a move that will send shock-waves through the racing industry, the new LNP Government plans to re-appoint Bob Bentley as Chairman of Racing Queensland. Speaking from Dubai where he is attending the Asian Racing Conference, Bentley told letsgohorseracing that he was both ‘surprised’ and ‘delighted’ by the […]
No horse deserves to die at the races. Imagine the outcry if it was punters dropping dead like flies. What the hell is wrong with this track?
This Casey Bailey, a one-time contender for the title of 2020 Australian Rodeo Queen. Casey is from Wangaratta in Victoria, and likes rodeos and football, and does Equine Breaking-in and education services. I suspect that she may be partial to kung fu movies too, at least if what occurred at the Callaghan Racecourse, Rockhampton on […]
We tipped you into Peter Chadwick’s departure months ago if you remember, and reminded you of the tension between he and the QRIC Commissioner Shane Gillard just last week. As usual we were right. It’s not that hard to be on the money if you keep your nose to the ground and work hard, instead […]
