Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
How often do you see a horse miss the start by about 12 lengths and still get up and win? Not very often is the answer. But you did today in the 6th at Toowoomba. In Your Element stayed in the gates at the start, and was tailed out behind them. He stayed back there […]
As you can see in the republished stories below (which are merely a selection of them, there are more), we have written several times about the QLD trotter Doug, who gallops away at almost every start he has, and steals innocent punters money. Look at the picture at the top, which is Doug’s recent form, […]
The talented but highly temperamental trotter Doug was placed on another warning by the Stewards after again galloping away from the stand at Albion Park on Saturday night, but you really have to start wondering how long a piece of string is and asking the question when does enough become enough? This is the seventh […]
Think I’m going down to the well tonight And I’m going to drink till I get my fill And I hope when I get old I don’t sit around thinking about it But I probably will Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture A little of the glory of, well time slips away And leaves […]
Thoughts on Stephanie Thornton on #19 campai at sunny coast. Hasn’t fully rode the horse surely?? Big market support late as well.

Well that was inevitable. Why it wasn’t announced earlier in the week is anyone’s guess. We understand that the acceptance deadline will be extended until later today. Its hard to see too many trainers wanting to scratch. The 10 000 isn’t affected, but you would imagine that there will inevitably have to be changes to […]
Stewards advised Mr Bowen that a Veterinary Certificate, an ECG Report and the horse would need to undertake an official Barrier Trial prior to racing again. This is another clanger in a series of them made by Stewards at the Gordonvale meeting on Saturday. Who do you reckon is going to ride the ECG and […]
I want to tell you a little story that demonstrates the sheer incompetence of the QRIC thoroughbred steward, and illustrates it for all too see. We are at the Gordonvale races just south of Cairns on Saturday, and it’s race 4. The horse in the blue with the red cap is Magnate, ridden by Frankie […]
The three professional race meetings held at Longreach, Mt Isa and Goondoowindi on the weekend were country cards, meaning that each of the five race cards were worth about $50 000 in prizemoney and QTIC bonus payments. There was only one Steward at each meeting. This poor official had to run the whole show on […]
There were 12 stewards on duty at the Morphettville races on Saturday. At the TAB meeting at Toowoomba on Saturday there were two. The Queensland meeting was called off after three races. They still managed to slip in a clerical error. There is nothing like consistent form is there? You just wonder how on earth […]
