Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I wonder what happened to the black boy? I wonder what his name was? I wonder how old he was? I wonder if he had sisters and brothers? I wonder why the Archer’s stole him as a slave? I wonder why they didn’t pay him? I wonder why they didn’t take a white boy? I […]
Dear Bentleys I note with huge disappointment that your firm has become a naming sponsor of a new horse race at Rockhampton named the Archer. I am the author of a popular racing website, and have become aware that the family that the race is named after were involved in the dispossession of indigenous Australians […]
Uncle Milty was up in Port Douglas yesterday. He parked his bike with the I Love Straddie sticker on Macrossan Street, outside the entrance to the Nautilus restaurant. People said he was here to meet with Uncle Errol from Edge Hill about the Captain Cook statue takedown campaign, but it’s not true. The great man […]
The great problem with modern racing administrators is that they don’t know Australian history, or when it comes to black history – the real history of our land – they seek to deny it anyway. Those who run racing glorify black dispossession, murder and slavery instead. The more things change, the more they stay the […]
Dear Peter Profit As you may be aware, I have spent the weekend here on the island of Minjerribah with the internationally renowned human rights consultant Dr Sai-Coe, workshopping ideas for the campaign to change the name back from the colonial imposed Stradbroke Island to its traditional name, to raise the public profile of our […]
Trying to understand how any highly paid web designer could come up with the idea of creating a scrambled egg of website like Racing Queensland’s is a huge struggle. No, it’s impossible. What brain surgeon of the IT world could possibly look on at the RQ site and proudly pronounce to world “I did this? […]
There is something rather curious about the 2020/21 annual report and financial accounts of the Cairns Jockey Club. Well a few things really. The first is that some directors of the club – namely Greg Stanton and Scott Carpenter – provide in kind (i.e. free) professional services to the club in their field of calling, […]
The Rockhampton Jockey Club has transferred it’s race meeting scheduled for Friday week back to the Monday, after the club advised Racing Queensland that that it will not be in a position to host the meeting on December 17 due to resourcing complications associated with COVID-19 vaccinations. This resourcing complication is rather simple. The club […]
Annual Flu vaccinations Because the COVID ones are just a big pharma con and scam, and don’t actually work. Bi-annual onsite Corporate Massages I myself would prefer a straight one, but whatever floats your boat. Actually, no I wouldn’t. I’ve been following the Jeffrey Epstein trial. Massages in the workplace are pervy and totally inappropriate. […]
The quest for the wagering dollar never stops. On Friday morning the body of popular jockey young lost jockey Chris Caserta was found in the Gold Coast surf. Just hours later the first race at Ipswich jumped, a field full of maiden gallopers ridden by grieving riders the same age or younger as their friend […]
