Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The QRIC is opposed to Goring’s application for leave for an extension of time to have his appeal heard. They say that offenders can’t be allowed to sit back and wait to see how decisions in other appeals fall before lodging an appeal, they have to lodge their appeals within the prescribed timeframes or otherwise […]
Mitch Goring (pictured in middle) We are here at the Racing Appeals Panel to witness a couple of riders appeals against their disqualifications for submitting doctored Health Assessment Reports (HAR). The Panel has scheduled the appeals of both Jesse Townsend and Mitch Goring for the same time of 9.30am, which obviously won’t happen because you […]
Hi Peter, Regards metric miles. The correct conversion of a mile to metric is in meters = 1609.344m. So in the old language the King Charles III is still a foot short or there abouts of a mile. How about just getting a imperial tape measure if they actually understand that language? Cheers Barossa Bill
Former QLD Racing Minister Grace ‘GeeGee” Grace didn’t know a whole lot about the Sport of Kings, but she did come to the job with a deep understanding of arbitration after spending decades as a union official, and her initiative to create the Racing Appeals Panel will stand forever as one of the greatest decisions […]
It looks like we won’t be able to report live the Noel Callow decision. We seem to have been locked out of the video link, we’re not sure why. Guess we will have to catch up with events after they happen. Sorry about that.
It’s approaching midday and we are here at the Racing Appeals Panel to hear Judge Kerry O’Brien deliver the Panel’s judgement on the appeal of ‘King’ Noel Callow against his ten-month disqualification over the “Darwin Tapes”.

The much awaited decision in the Noel Callow appeal will be handed down at noon on Monday. It’s important to note that this appeal relates strictly to Callow’s 10-month disqualification for his conduct in the published recordings made in Darwin last year. Any alleged rule breaches emanating from subsequently released recordings will be dealt with […]
We’re here at the Racing Appeals Panel this morning for Noel Callow’s appeal against his 10 month disqualification on two charges of conduct detrimental to the interests of racing related to the incidents in Darwin last year that were recorded on video and later surfaced on social media, after it is rumored former jockey Group […]
Callow’s barrister Stirling kicks off by saying that there is no argument that racism is wrong and totally unacceptable, and that his client acknowledges and accepts this. His client accepts that he behaved foolishly, offensively and in a racist and gratuitous manner toward people he did not know on the street. Stirling says that Callow’s […]
The Panel plays the offending video recordings. There is much argument about whether the transcript of the recordings is correct, with Stirling disputing that his client ever called anyone the highly offensive term “nigger’ and the recording clearly appearing to back him up. Stirling submits that Callow’s conduct was spur of the moment stupidity, not […]
