This is retiring Racing QLD CEO Brendan ‘Pins’ Parnell at the very start of his career. Oh how young we all were. Pins tips weren’t much good. Shaftesbury Avenue got beaten into 5th.

This is the official release from Racing QLD. I am confused. Is this reality or spin? The Magic Millions meeting was postponed due to wet weather and poor visibility following 14mm of unforeseen rain since 3.00am. Race meetings don’t get cancelled because of a tiny 1.4cm of rain falling on a good track over the […]
As you can clearly see from the information published by the racing bible RISA, the Gold Coast track manager Nevesh Ramdhani made the very ill advised decision to dump 44mm of irrigation – water – on the track in the 7 days leading in to todays aborted meeting. That’s 2 inches of water, applied to […]
Gold Coast track curator Nevesh Ramdhani suspects a rogue sprinkler was partly behind Saturday’s debacle, which saw the Magic Millions meeting called off after just two races.
