Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The new 2 turn track at the Q is touted as being a state of the art design to maximize the safety of greyhounds and reduce or prevent injury. Most injuries in greyhound racing occur on the first turn, so from a design point of view getting that section of the track right is an […]
Capalaba – Queensland’s new 366m duck racing track The Capalaba Greyhound Club has been drowned again by a big Brisbane storm, this time by Cyclone Alfred. It happens every time there are flooding rains in the Brisbane area, like it did in 2o22 and again in 2011 before that. On each of these occasions the […]
Pikelet Spirit wasn’t a very fast dog and didn’t win many races, just 4 from 59 starts. She tried hard though, which is shown by the 12 placings that she ran during her short life. It’s over now. Pikelet Spirit is dead. Just before the little bitch’s fourth birthday the killer first turn at Ipswich […]
In the wake of Peter Gleeson’s resignation this week as CEO of the Queensland Greyhound Racing Club, a surprise new name has emerged as the front-runner to take over the reins at the Q. Jason Scott. We have always known that the outgoing Racing Queensland CEO – who in his short time with RQ has […]
Archie. I read your piece on Kim Kelly. He may be a great steward (just ask him), but in my view he is a terrible Deputy Commissioner. Mr Kelly appears to have zero interest in the greyhounds. We had a Group 1 meeting during the week that you’d expect the most senior QRIC integrity official […]

There have been 7 greyhound meetings since last Thursday. As of 5.00am today there has been no Stewards Report published for any of them. Stewards Reports have been published for every gallops and thoroughbred meeting held during the same period. And someone people try to tell you that the greyhound reports are not being vetted […]
Good morning Archie I have been watching with interest at what is unfolding in the greyhound industry both here & afar. I can say without any doubt, there needs to be some serious conversations had by Racing Queensland in numerous areas but one in particular, trainer education, they are the reason why dogs are being […]
Now is probably not the time for the NSW greyhound industry to be attracting bad news, for its got enough of its own, what with an Inquiry on the go, the former CEO a certainty to be referred to police with a recommendation to charge, and the dogs across the ditch on death row waiting […]
Q: Mr Macaulay, we were talking before the break about your resignation. We had gotten up to the email from you saying, “I indicate were I to resign I will only do so because I am forced to do so.” You then subsequently sent an email that said, “In compliance with your request, and on […]
