With all the COVID-19 flying around in the breeze combined with Gerry Harvey’s company’s blase attitude toward keeping the punters safe, you wouldn’t go to this year’s Magic Millions meeting for quids unless you had a death wish. It doesn’t mean we won’t bet on it though. Here is the mail. Race 1 Raffle. Leave […]
An Australian woman descended from stolen slaves stands tall and proud on Kurrajong Hill, Canberra, the capital of our nation. A licensed Queensland participant has decided to take action to stop a major horse race in the State being named after racists and slave traders, slave owners and historical human rights abusers.
