Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Master Jamie is a very smart galloper from Central QLD who has won 18 of his 51 career starts and more than a million dollars in prizemoney. He will need to be good if he wants to add to the tally at Callaghan Park on Thursday. 67.5 kilograms the horse has to carry with the […]
Sailor’s Rum was purchased at the recent Inglis March online auction for $37 500. He is being sold in 1/40th shares worth $1525 each by One Syndications. That values the worth of the horse as $61 000, which leaves not a bad profit marging for the syndicator. Not quite as good as the yearling filly […]
Today’s Kilcoy race meeting has been abandoned, in a period of brilliant sunshine. The word is that the track hasn’t however been Puckeridged, but rather that the club has Puckeridged it themselves. We are told that machinery was driven across the track during recent remedial works in a way that damaged the course proper, and […]

Maxwelton is a town of just 22 people located in the middle of nowhere, but there was plenty of action at the races yesterday. The QRIC sent Karl Stefanovic’s cousin Sharon out to take urine swabs from the female riders. There were a whole 2 at the meeting. The whole town and a few assorted […]
It has been pointed out to me that half of the Racing NSW Stewards Panel officiating at the Championships meeting at Royal Randwick yesterday are Queenslanders, each of whom could very well be working here for the QRIC if only it wasn’t such a dysfunctional beast of an outfit. Steve Railton used to be the […]
Kim Kelly is one of the best racing stewards in the world. You don’t become the Chief Stipe in Hong Kong if you are not. Kelly is a Queenslander who owns property on the Sunshine Coast, so when he retired from his super high paying job in Asia he should have been immediatetly grasped with […]
By his own admission, Racing QLD track manager Greg Puckeridge has been involved in some of the greatest track curating cock ups in modern day racing history. On Puckeridge’s Linkedin page he boasts his achievements as including: The successful construction and development of new thoroughbred racetrack rebuild at Charters Towers This track took 4 years […]
Almost 12 months ago to the day Reegan Bayliss copped a 19 day suspension for failing to take all reasonable and permissible measures throughout the race to ensure that Pride Of Jenni was given full opportunity to win or obtain the best possible place in the field when she finished eighth in the Group 3 […]
Royal Bombadier was backed from $2.50 into $1.22 to win the 5th race at Wellington yesterday. It was the plunge of the day, maybe even of the whole weekend. The plonk h0rse parked outside the leader, a position from which it should have won. But a roughie at odds of $46 sat three-wide without cover […]
