Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Captain Maverick, last in the lime green with black and white sleeves and black and white checked cap, was an outsider at $71.oo in race 5 at Eagle Farm on Saturday. Notwithstanding the price, it was a very odd ride by Kyle Wilson-Taylor, and had he taken the right option instead of the wrong, the […]
See those poor dead horses laying by a dried up pool? They are racehorses. This property is/was owned by a registered breeder named Catherine Smith. The story that follows makes me sick. I hate writing it. Wanna vomit. Do. This is a story of indifference and neglect at all levels of racing, welfare and animal […]
RSPCA QLD claims that it exists for animals to live better lives. Last year it was paid more than $60 million for the purpose. A concerned citizen contacted the organization that purports to care for animals, and told them about the dead horses. They got this reply. They weren’t supposed to. It was an internal […]
The race meeting at Innisfail in QLD went ahead today, with 5 races and just 21 starters, an average of 4.2 runners per race. $50 000 of racing industry money was spent on prizemoney for the meeting, plus who knows how much in expenses for Stewards, race day staff, broadcast fees, and the like. None […]
This is the Callaghan Park track report that the Rockhampton Jockey Club posted to RISA at 7.45am on Sunday morning. Zero irrigation they say. How does that align with the previous day’s Stewards Report that said the sprinklers had intermittently come on and off between 6.30am and 10.30am the day before? It doesn’t obviuosly. If […]
What is this in the picture? Chemicals dumped out the back of Callaghan Park race track, Rockhampton. Photo taken on Wednesday. What is in the chemical container? Who knows, because the labels had been stripped off. Where did the stuff come from? A committee member’s business some say. We don’t know whether it is true. […]
With the pressure on the fairytales start coming thick and fast. Instead of accepting the blame for their own mistake the Rockhampton Jockey Club just keeps spinning and spinning. Now we are expected to play the role of wide eyed idiots and believe the club’s story that this supposed broken valve on the sprinklers just […]
The QRIC Stewards were told that when the Rockhampton Jockey Club’s course curator did his track inspection at 6.30am on Saturday there was no problem with the track and it was right to race. When the Stewards came and did their own track inspection at 10.30am, we are told, there had been a malfunction with […]
What you see above is a picture taken at last night’s Calcutta at Callaghan Park. See where the arrow is pointing? That’s the exact spot that became waterlogged overnight and caused the meeting to be cancelled. Here it is again. Racing QLD sent out the text below to participants this morning. It says zero irrigation […]
