Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
See the bloke in the Arthur Dunger hat and the Rabbitohs jersey? He is the contractor for Regional Cast who was recording the delayed vision of the Mt Garnet meeting on the weekend. Since when are non-QRIC officials allowed in the Stewards tower? How can the Steward see the race properly when the horses are […]
13 November 2022 Regional Cast has been appointed as Queensland’s Non-TAB racing vision provider for the next two years. The agreement will see more than 200 non-TAB meetings – incorporating 98 clubs – shown in their entirety. All non-TAB race meetings in Queensland will be available free and on-demand, showcased via a dedicated live channel, […]
Regional Cast is a company owned by Emerald businessman Neale Parry. Parry is a former or current publican, security company owner, laundry proprietor, bottle shop licensee, sports shop owner, and motelier. 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 […]

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 […]
Prior to his tragic recent passing, well known grazier Alan John Acton was long a prominent member of the Central QLD community. Alan was also an active and popular member of the racing community, both in CQ and beyond. The Rockhampton Jockey Club it appears didn’t even know his name, or how to spell it. […]
You’d love to view the high priced contract between Racing QLD and Regional Cast wouldn’t you? Does it say that the company can broadcast whatever country non-TAB meetings they like, and ignore all the rest? Or that it can only show the punters a few of the ones left over live, and whack the replays […]
There are 12 race meetings being held in Queensland today. Twelve. What are the chances of their being enough jockeys to ride all the declared runners at them? Um, zero. What’s the hope that all the horses that do have jockeys are ridden at their handicap weight? Um, zero. What sort of nous and common […]
These are the fees paid to board members of Racing Queensland. Below that are the salaries paid to the top executives of the organisation. I make no comment either way, other than to say two things. There are far more things of interest to some people in racing than the horses. And it’s a nice […]
