Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We have been writing for some time now about what appears to be an ongoing rort with the TAB fixed odds prices. Our contention has been that an insider at the TAB involved in setting the opening markets for the Albion Park trots has been deliberately putting up horses at inflated odds so that someone […]
QRIC currently reviewing payout error 04 June 2025 The Queensland Racing Integrity Commission (QRIC) is aware of a discrepancy between the official minor placings and associated dividends paid out for Race 2 at Doomben on Wednesday, 4 June 2025. The TAB paid out on the wrong numbers. Second was paid as third and vice versa. […]
David Fowler called the placings wrong in the controversial race at Doomben yesterday that the TAB and bookies are paying out on the wrong results. What else would you expect? To think Tabcorp/Sky chose this chook over Josh Fleming. Decision making at its very finest. Not. Editor’s note – Provoker finished third

This isn’t just a tweak — it’s a hand grenade lobbed […]
If you like a bet then this discussion on Wolfden about when prices go up and when you can get on is well worth a listen. The delay in when the TAB markets are being posted is a focus.
Last week we wrote about the bleak future faced by race callers and fans across the nation, with our prediction being that soon many non-metropolitan race meetings would be called from the studio, and then eventually replaced by non-human calls powered by Artificial Intelligence. Some people laughed at our vision of where Tabcorp CEO Gillon […]
The AI driven race caller of the future, working out of a data studio. He sort of looks like a young D. Fowler too. The move this week by Tabcorp/Sky to slash the number of race callers without putting any new ones on says three things to us. One is that Gillon McLachlan’s public shine […]
The extraordinary decision by Tabcorp/Sky to make Josh Fleming redundant yet retain David Fowler has sparked controversy among viewers from across the nation, with most of the commentators on the issue expressing a preference for one caller or the other, and the majority favoring Josh Fleming.
