Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We told you a couple of days ago about an alleged animal cruelty incident involving Rockhampton trainer Clinton Taylor, and as usual you heard it here first. Taylor was today immediately stood down from training and had his license suspended after QRIC Chief Steward Josh Adams flew to the beef capital and viewed the CCTV […]
The QRIC this afternoon issued the statement below advising that at a stable inspection conducted on Sunday morning the Jason Grimson trained Dangerous was found to be lame in the front left leg, probably because Grimson hadn’t had a chance to apply the magic spray yet. If the horse was trained by anyone else that […]
Mishani Glaze has clearly had a major problem since resuming from an 8 month spell. Before the horse went to the paddock its form was 2341. Since resuming in late April it has finished 8th of 12 at Warwick beaten 7 lengths, last at Toowoomba beaten 15 lengths, last at Gatton beaten 20 lengths, and […]
The answer is nine. That’s how many Stewards were on duty at Albion Park on Saturday night. Each and every one of them missed this. It’s Peter McMullen on Attachment that we are looking at. McMullen takes the horse from the one wide line back to the inside on the turn. He clearly goes inside […]
There is something wrong with Fighter Command. The Vets disagree. They could find nothing wrong with the horse. I wonder if they examined the underneath of its feet? This horse was either badly shod or it was sore. The Stewards didn’t suss anything amiss either. They simply copped driver Jason Lee’s nonsense explanation that Fighter […]
I don’t know whether Regan Todd is the first one to take the piss about him “training” Hesitate, or whether he is deluded, but the rest of the world knows that Hesitate was only transferred into his name so that Luke McCarthy could drive Todd’s superstar Marketplace in the Rising Sun. The ruse didn’t quite […]
The rumor mill is running hot that a horse that raced at Albion Park on Tuesday afternoon may not have been the pacer that he seemed, or was supposed to be anyway. The word is that it was not a deliberate ring-in, but rather an accidental one that saw an incorrect horse compete under a […]
We see some pretty amazing things happen in QLD racing Stewards Reports, or purport to happen anyway, but I reckon this one takes the cake. The start of race 5 at Mackay yesterday was delayed so that jockey Ryan Wiggins could view the footage of the start of the race and have a look at […]
Luke McCarthy trained the pacer Hesitate until a couple of days ago. Now all of a sudden it is trained by South Island NZ mentor Regan Todd, who just so happens to train the Kiwi superstar Marketplace, which has been staying at Luke’s place for the past month. Marketplace is a huge chance in the […]
The message below went out to North QLD trainers a couple of weeks ago. Hey, Simon lambert here manager for Ben Kennedy who is moving up to Queensland this week to be base in Townsville with Tom button. Ben is a former champion apprentice in Perth with over 100 metro winners and has recently been […]
