Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This wasn’t a handicap start, just a stuff up. I’ve never seen anything as bad since Self Assured got the walk up start t0 beat Copy That in the 2020 NZ Cup. That one was deliberate, and saw the starter sacked the next day. (He is of course now the starter for HRV in Victoria. […]
The weather on Saturday in Julia Creek is going to be extreme, with temperatures forecast to rise to 42% throughout the day, yet despite it’s long established heat policy Racing Queensland plans to push ahead with its scheduled 5 race meeting in the town, with the only concession made being that the card will be […]
There are just 5 races programmed for Toowoomba on Saturday night, with the meeting running for just under 3 hours. Surely there is ample time to run another race if one is required, and one certainly is, for the Maiden has 19 acceptances in a maximum capacity field size of only 11, leaving 8 want […]
Um, does the Victorian chief steward Rob Montgomery ever proof read his team’s reports from race meetings? Particularly on big days? Kerrin McEvoy didn’t ride Ladies Man in Saturday’s Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Flemington. Opie Bosson did. As reported earlier by the stewards, just above their glaring error. D’oh! How embarrassment. @ethnixcomedy 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭

The worst kept secret in Hong Kong is a secret no more, after English hoop Harry Bentley yesterday had his license suspended for 2 months and copped a fine of AU $60 000 after being found guilty of improper conduct for tipping horses to people who weren’t their owners, meaning that he was most likely […]
Watching the Champions Mile live on Saturday I thought that Declan Bates had pulled his rival’s pants down, and was cursing the others jocks to the clouds. Then I watched it on replay and checked the secs and realised that Jennie’s wasn’t just a lucky win, it was a run for the ages. The first […]
In the story below that we published in April we told you that Ben Yole didn’t have workers compensation insurance for the young workers who were injured in the terrible accident on the way home from the races in Hobart as required by law, and that he was underpaying their rightful entitlement to wages. We […]
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 […]
