Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
GENERAL Stewards have adjourned an Inquiry into a complaint received from Burdekin Race Club President Mr R Gudge regarding the alleged conduct and actions of Trainer Mr B Crear at the on course stabling area just prior to the running of Race 8. We are told that the incident at Home Hill yesterday […]
Remember we told you about Tasmanian stewards being stood down? You always hear it here first. Just to prove it, the three Stewards in the ABC story below are Michael Castillo (gallops), Roger Brown (trots), and Robert Simpson (tri-code). We warned you a long time ago that integrity was being compromised by problems with Stewards […]
What happens in New Zealand happens in Australia too. The cases this insider turned activist Becks Nairn is talking about are true. Each of them can be found in Steward’s reports. Nairn is a very knowledgeable, presentable and articulate spokesperson for those who seek to have racing shut down. She doesn’t fit the vegan activist […]
Which Victorian father and son training team were the subject of a without notice stable inspection by Stewards on Saturday morning? What were the stipes looking for? Was there any correlation between the surprise inspection and the scratching of four of the trainers runners at Caulfield later that afternoon? South Australian trainer Jayson Finnis is […]
The Brisbane Racing Club must know something that most of us don’t about the funding for its new members stand, for the club last month lodged a development application replete with detailed designs and assessments for the project with the Brisbane City Council.

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. But it took the stewards about an hour to draw the same conclusion following this year’s failed Hughenden Cup in what turned out to be farcical scenes. Firstly, let’s go back to the beginning. […]
