Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Notwithstanding the concerns expressed in our previous story about inequities in the application by Stewards of the rules, the decision to stand Noel Callow down is in our view the correct one. There is just no excuse for Callow’s racist conduct shown in the video below, and while it happened outside of racing what the […]
Last week the Racing Minister Tim Mander and Racing Queensland CEO Lachlan Murray appeared before the parliamentary estimates committee to answer members questions about the racing portfolio. The hearing, which was allotted only half an hour, was an absolute waste of time. All we got was the former ALP Racing Minister Grace Grace asking questions […]
Has anyone noticed that Brandon Kreymborg – who calls himself BK – seems to have disappeared from our screens since starring in the broadcast team for ID25? While we simply thought he had taken a holiday after his on-track exertions during the coverage of the series, some are saying different. The rumor is he that […]
A fortnight ago we tipped you that barrister Tim Hale would become Chairman of the Australian Turf Clun and Caroline Searcy would be his deputy. We got the quinella. Hale and Searcy are now running the show. The ant-Rosehill sale brigade has won. So have Gai and Robbie Waterhouse. Robbie only had to wait 40 […]
Story by Matt Nicholls. Blind Freddy could see that it was a false start and should have been called a no-race.

I dunno who these lads at the Grafton dogs tonight are, but they made effort to give us a smile and a wave so I thought we’d give them one back. Good on ya boys. I hope you are backing a winner.

We’re tipping him a cert. $4.10 David McGrath – Govt appointed Independent Director. So was rejected and just resigned Chairman Peter McGauran, and look […]
Well you have to say that it’s not often you see us stand up for a Yole. We usually kick the shit out of the bastards every chance we get, and with good reason too because they’re race fixing, joint blocking, horse doping, workers comp dodging, employer superannuation contribution guarantee non-paying, used pacer dogging clan […]
Wayne Yole had lodged an appeal claiming that Tasracing Chief Racing Integrity Officer Heidi Lester’s decision to impose restrictive conditions on his license that would have shut down his business was actuated by real bias. In public bar language that means that he was saying that Lester was out to get him, and made sure […]
So it wasn’t Battle of the Bush winning former trainer David Reynolds who scratched Megan Purvis’ horse from a race meeting at Townsville last year without her permission after all. Apologies to Mr Reynolds for suggesting otherwise. It was a stablehand named Natalie James. We don’t know why she did such a thing, but James […]
