Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Hi Archie, In short the Australian Trainers Association, with support from other members of the racing alliance group ( jockeys, owners, breeders etc) met yesterday with Minister Grace Grace (pictured above) and advised her of our intention to issue a strongly worded press release stating that the industry had no confidence in the ability or […]
Hi Archie, I have very much this year to date been sitting back watching and listening to different media comments around how racing in Queensland is traveling around numerous issues. The smokes and mirrors around RQ and QRIC do your head in. Consultation processes with either RQ and QRIC with Industry are what I would […]
Not sure if this relates to your QRIC Rumble story but…. Apparently a Racing QLD representative and the QRIC Deputy Commissioner are on a charter flight to Rockhampton on Thursday to pick up Senior Steward Shane Larkins en route to flying on to Longreach, from where they will drive to outback Isisford to inspect the […]
As we read earlier, the QRIC rostered a junior Steward named Ethan Suli to chair the stewards panel at the meeting in Barcaldine on Saturday, despite having the experience Senior Steward Tate Hudson working at the meeting. It wasn’t an isolated incident. Junior steward Ethan Suli chaired yesterday’s meeting at Mackay too, while Tate Hudson […]

There has been a terrible fall this morning in the first race at Te Aroho in New Zealand, with jockeys Craig Grylls and Jasmine Fawcett both hitting the ground hard.

To stay fun and entertaining, racing needs positive role models and influencers Most people don’t realise, but it is one of the few sports in the world where both men and women compete equally against each other. By celebrating this, the heroes and the history, racing has an amazing narrative that fans can be emotionally […]
Gun 19-year-old apprentice jockey Bailey Wheeler needs to grow up, get off the piss and learn to behave himself if he wants a career riding at the top level for a hyper-disciplined, super successful trainer like his current master Annabel Neesham. Wheeler has only just been granted a comeback date from a spell of next […]
https://youtu.be/IjF0Dq3WE4U Just listen to this will you? The Queensland Racing Minister Grace Grace is trying to tell us that Chareville is a world class track. What the hell would she know? Grace had never even been to the races until we was appointed as Minister, and now suddenly she is an expert on track surfaces […]
Lou from Longreach provides us with the latest on the abandonment of the last 2 races at Charleville on Saturday. Please note that despite all the other Stewards reports from the weekend being up, at present there is no report for Charleville. As Gomer Pyle used to say, surprise surprise surprise. I have heard from […]
