Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Rule AHR90A – Trainer Licence (2.6) An applicant for a trainer’s licence Grade A must have satisfactorily completed all training modules applicable to a trainer’s licence Grade B and held such licence for not less than 12 months unless the Controlling Body decides otherwise. We told you last week about how QLD trot trainer Ryan […]
Archie, In regard to your story about the Steward demanding the tongue tie go on when it wasn’t supposed to. If it was supposed to go on and the strapper had left it off, they would cop a fine of hundred or two! So what does the Steward in this case get? Promoted, if other […]
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 […]
It was QRIC Deputy Commissioner Kim Kelly who made the decision to race the Magic Millions meeting at the Gold Coast in preference to transferring the meeting to Eagle Farm or the Sunshine Coast, so he will have to wear the blame for the day’s racing being postponed after just three races were run. We […]
Don’t Call Me Honey was directed to wear a tongue tie at Eagle Farm on Wednesday, even though it’s not part of the horse’s registered gear and the connections didn’t want to. With the tongue tie-on the horse race fiercely in front and went too fast for it to me any competitive hope at the […]
What was surely one of the last racing appeals heard by QCAT under the old (pre-Racing Appeals Panel) system was also one of the most ridiculous too. QRIC Stewards had found Kyle Wilson-Taylor guilty of improper riding in a midweek race at Doomben in the winter of 2022 and suspended him for 4 weeks. KWT […]
Before the sun rose on Wednesday morning we published an article highlighting the absence of any published Stewards reports from greyhound meetings run over the previous 5 days, and in it questioned whether the reports were being vetted prior to publication. By 10.00am that morning all the Stewards Reports went up. Funny that isn’t it?
QRIC Deputy Commissioner Kim Kelly claims that on the evidence of his inspections and this track gallop, there are no issues with the meeting going ahead on Saturday at this stage at all, and that if required they could have raced on Gold Coast track yesterday. Now we are usually huge fans of Kelly, and […]
January 8, 2025 Racing Queensland advises senior jockeys will gallop on the course proper at the Gold Coast Turf Club on Thursday morning to help determine which venue will host The Star Gold Coast Magic Millions Raceday. With remediation to the Gold Coast Turf Club course proper scheduled to be completed today, stakeholders are planning […]
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 […]
