Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The news out of the Ray Green camp is that the great Kiwi pacer Copy That has recovered from the minor hoof soreness that afflicted him last start in the Harness Jewels final, and is back up and raring on all cylinders. Copy That will trial on Friday at The Creek, then head straight into […]
QLD Deputy Chief Steward Daniel Aurisch sucking up to Her Royal Horseness Zara Phillips. He’d be better off doing his leadership job by applying the rules properly and fairly instead Yesterday we told you the story about how last week the Bundaberg Stewards panel had wrongly assessed and approved apprentice jockey Cody Collis’ allowance as […]
It wouldn’t be right to let a whole week pass without mentioning Clip Clop Kev’s quinella in the Brisbane APG Gold Bullion final at Albion Park last Saturday night. When he dramatically scaled back his broodmare band a couple of years ago most people thought that K and K Seymour A.M. were just about finished […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/APC16022114.mp4 I get really sick of trainers and training teams that I believe are cheating both us punters and their professional rivals by breaking the rules of racing. Why can’t these people just be honest? If they are going to do something naughty to a horse, what’s the problem with telling us all? Obviously the […]
One wag has suggested that to address the current woes being expressed by Queensland gallops trainers about their long working hours and their inability to get cheap, non-penalty rate east Asian student visa holder labor as a result of COVID-19, a working group of trainers should be formed to come up with some solutions.

The upside down horseshoe says it all Queensland racing’s luck. It doesn’t bother Grace Grace though. She thinks it is a rocket ship. Oh well, at least this time she can say that she’s been to the races before. A couple of times at least, Bloody hell. Those bastard factions. Yesterday afternoon the mail straight […]
I was rather critical of the Queensland Racing Minister Stirling Hinchliffe for the first two-thirds of his term, but that is only because I know him, and because he deserved it. In the past year though Stirlo has turned it all around, and ended up being a rather good Minister for our industry, as I […]
I guess we have to. What other excuse can there be for these trainers like Renee Schluenz, Ronald Finch, Joao Campeao and Ricky Gudge to keep putting Sheargold on their horses? Would you put a 33-year-old married man with kids on yours if he had sent your just turned 16-year-old daughter explicit sexual texts putting […]
This story about polls that shock is the greatest crock you will ever read in your life, and Steven Wardill the so-said political expert who wrote it should hang his head on shame. The South Brisbane election story is simple. Last time around the LNP put the Greens last on their how to vote cards, […]
The mail out of George Street is that Jackie Trad’s hubby Damien Van Brunschot was in Townsville yesterday inspecting a waterfront mansion that is being put up for auction in a few week’s time. “Townsville?” you ask, scratching your chin. “Why would Jackie Trad want to live in Townsville?” I will tell you in a […]
