Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
How does this work? Turbeau pigroots in a race at Home Hill in late August. It gets stood down by the Stewards until it completes a satisfactory barrier trial. The horse never appears to have completed one, not an official trial at least, but the embargo placed on it after the Home Hill rodeo is […]
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away – Percy Bysshe Shelley Disappeared in the night former QRIC Commissioner Shane Gillard has etched his name in QLD racing history by becoming the first leader […]
The LNP long spruiked their intention to close down the QRIC when they inevitably come to power at the end of the month appears to have all but vanished into the haze, with the QLD government-in-waiting seemingly abandoning their plan behind the cover of one of those ‘comprehensive reviews’ that politicians call when they don’t […]

Racing Queensland and the QRIC agree, and […]
It’s bright and early on Monday morning after the Weetwood meeting, and the minutes earlier bustling Clifford Park trackwork has suddenly turned into a ghost town. The Stewards have arrived bearing drug test kits they intend to use to take samples from licensed workers. When they showed up people scattered in every direction, many of […]
Further to our story yesterday about one M. Currie trained galloper setting a brutal speed in front that was perfect for it stablemate who came from behind and won, here is the official Stewards report as it relates to the matter. Depth Charge Began awkwardly. Stewards inquired into the tactics adopted on the gelding, specifically […]
Good morning Peter Profit The Steward-in -charge in Central-West QLD should be sacked. The things that has happened since they arrived here have been a joke.. You can’t be a Steward and still be everyone’s friend like this one tries to be, its an impediment to properly performing your job. There have been disqualified people […]
Apprentice jockey Dan McGillivray should head to the rodeo circuit I reckon, for he sure is a cowboy. I’ve lost count of the number of suspensions for careless riding that McGillivray has incurred in recent years, but there are a a lot, enough to prompt me to write a story on the topic of the […]
