There are a number of Australians who are key note speakers at the Asian Conference this week in Saudi Arabia. These are they. Apologies to anyone we’ve missed. And BTW they are not really rogues, I was using jingoism for a cute headline. PS – Has anyone seen a real Kiwi? ——————————————————— Gillon McLachlan TABCORP […]
Those of us with long memories remember Mitch Faulkner (pictured) as an Armidale trot trainer/driver. He later became a gallops trainer in QLD. Faulkner wasn’t much good at either. As a person he is a whole lot worse. Last week in the Southport District Court he pleaded guilty to one count of possessing child exploitation […]
Are we in some parallel universe or something? How else do you explain yesterday’s Doomben Stewards Report? https://www.racingqueensland.com.au/racing/full-calendar/thoroughbred/meeting/doom/20260207/stewards-report The summary says that Jag Guthmann-Chester (JGC) was injured or ill after race 1, and required a medical certificate prior to resuming riding. But the report of the race mentions nothing at all about the injury/illness. Not […]
Brisbane jockey Kyle Wilson-Taylor got into some sort of verbal fracas with fellow rider Jag Guthmann-Chester after race 3 at Doomben yesterday. We have no idea what is was about, because the Stewards Report doesn’t tell us (see story above). All that it is possible to glean is that KWT didn’t cop the blame. Then […]
See the horse in the middle in this race at Leopardstown in Ireland last night. The one in the sky blue and yellow. Did the jockey make a real bad mistake? Or did he pull it up? I dunno. You tell me.
When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!” Matthew 27:24 The now dead Ponzi scamming pillar of society John Adams would have loved this biblical quote, […]
Remember we told you in a story the other day about how gutless imbeciles were messaging and calling jockeys to abuse them over beaten rides? If You Can’t Cop a Loss, Then Don’t Bet at All Well it seems they are doing it to trainers too. Domeland mentor Nacim Dilmi – a highly talented and […]
After 15 years in harness racing’s wilderness, former champion NSW reinsman Greg Bennett’s long march to freedom is over after the QLD Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) this week declared Bennett to be a fit and proper person to hold a Class A Driver’s License. In 2011 was stood down from the sport and later […]
Blood drowned brain dead bits It has come to our attention that we made an ignorant error in our story about apprentice jockey Tom Orr being fined $200 for not claiming his allowance at Thangool on Saturday. We said that Racing QLD and the QRIC were negligent for allowing a 1.5kg claiming apprentice like Orr […]
