Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
There is something wrong with this picture isn’t there? A couple of things in fact. One is that Queensland is running far too many meetings on a Saturday, a ridiculous number in fact. It’s the reason that the prizemoney up here is so far below Sydney and Melbourne, because we are spreading it too thin. […]
In March 1895, Goldsbrough Mort & Co employed the notorious Jack Watson to manage the station.[5] Watson had such a “bad name among the blacks” that the Aboriginal people used as cheap labour on the station had all run away. Even his own “blackboy” servant named Pompey had cleared out. When Watson later heard that Pompey had been killed, he […]
There were 6 jockeys riding at Mt Isa today. Racing Queensland programmed races with fields of up to 10 starters. Six jocks can’t ride 10 horses at once, so of course you know what happened. Eight declared runners were late scratched because there was no-one to ride them. Other horses were permitted to be ridden […]

Wayne Innes, 59, pleaded guilty to a slew of dishonesty offences in the Brisbane District Court on Monday. The court was told the former owner of Landfill Logistics had […]
Did you see that horse that won the 3rd race at Doomben on Wednesday, the Maiden? Belvedere Boys was it’s name, trained by Matthew Dunn. The names at the top are of the horse’s owners. WF Innes is Wayne Francis Innes. Mirrors to his mates. Not that he’s got any other this idiot clown called […]
Racing Queensland has been advised that Albion Park is going to be shut down by March 2025. The new Norwell track is not going to be ready by 2026 at the earliest, and that is probably a conservative estimate given that the funding doesn’t allow for construction work to be done at night or 7 […]
