Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Why in this modern age of equality does Racing Queensland continue to practice sexism when it comes to promoting the sport? At a time when the leading trainers in NSW, Victoria and QLD are all women (Belinda McCarthy/Kerry Ann Morris, Emma Stewart and Chantal Turpin), and women are in the top 10 on every State […]
Week after week Regional Cast seems to find another way to let Queensland country racegoers down. This week is was filming the races at Hughenden from a thousand miles away without a zoom lens, and not filming the races at Clermont near the thriving town of Moranbah at all. I guess the latter was a […]
The Rockhampton Jockey Club completed construction of 2 on-course horse stabling complexes last year. These stables were built with money provided courtesy of a Racing Queensland grant. It is rumored that the successful tender bidder for the project submitted their quote about a week after the tenders had closed. The whisper is that the winning […]
The Dubai World Cup tour crew You might remember the whisper we related last week about former Racing QLD CEO Brendan Parnell writing to the Cairns Jockey Club demanding to withhold the club’s funding if club supremo Tom Hedley wasn’t removed from his duly and lawfully democratically elected role as President.

We have been unable to identify any previous experience or expertise that he has in the area of broadcasting horse races, or broadcasting anything […]
Julia Creek based trainer Tanya Parry is lauded by Racing Queensland as the savior of racing in the far north-west of the State. She probably is too. But if Parry is, then I don’t reckon racing up there is worth saving. I went back a year to see where Tanya Parry’s horses that raced on […]
We tipped you into this 6 weeks ago. Enough said. You always here it here first.
There are strange whispers coming from all parts of the State that Racing Queensland has written a highly unusual letter to the Cairns Jockey Club requesting (demanding?) that club Chairman Ton Hedley vacate his elected role forthwith, or else RQ will withhold funding of up to $200 000 from the club. We have strong mail […]
