Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Does anyone remember Tate Hudson? He’s that Northern Rivers NSW Steward who V’landys sacked because he was improperly hanging around on the piss with the jockeys that he was supposed to be policing. The bloke then went to QLD, and under the hapless QRIC of the day led by Ross Barnett got a second chance. […]
Watch this race above and keep your eye on horse number 2, the one in the teal and grey behind the leader. Its Five Oclock Gerry, driven by Nathan Dawson. See it go inside the marker pegs? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of them. You’ve have to be blind to miss it. The QRIC Stewards […]
https://www.racenet.com.au/news/group-1-jockey-kyle-wilsontaylor-banned-19-days-after-causing-interference-to-multiple-runners-20260217 Kyle Wilson-Taylor was only charged with careless riding for knocking over half the field at Doomben last Saturday week. Chief Steward Josh Adams said the stewards’ panel could not be comfortably satisfied that Wilson-Taylor had knowledge that his mount’s head was turned out, and that his panel (meaning him as their leader) could not […]
Archie The only people who didn’t see that Scarlett Moda was dead as a maggot last start at Tolga in January were the QRIC stewards. Marty from Malanda Editor’s Note I am not quite sure about that myself. But is was a rather odd ride.
Kim Daly sat on the QLD Racing Review panel. No-one elected him. He was appointed by his childhood mate the Racing Minister. The review panel recommended huge changes to QRIC. QRIC employ the Stewards. And here Kim Daly is. How interesting. It’s only a rort if you are not in on it.
There has been a lot said written and said about the QRIC’s proposed changes to license conditions in QLD that will require dog trainers to have ten starters a year before they can get or keep one, and the Deputy Commissioner Kim Kelly has responded to letsgohorseracing to state his side of things. But no-one […]
The word out of the Brekky Creek bunker is that Crayons has been appointed the new Chief Steward at Toowoomba. It is a curious appointment, for Crayons is a chap named Clayton Warren, a young bloke who used to work on the barriers up at the races here in North QLD about a decade ago, […]
Are we in some parallel universe or something? How else do you explain yesterday’s Doomben Stewards Report? https://www.racingqueensland.com.au/racing/full-calendar/thoroughbred/meeting/doom/20260207/stewards-report The summary says that Jag Guthmann-Chester (JGC) was injured or ill after race 1, and required a medical certificate prior to resuming riding. But the report of the race mentions nothing at all about the injury/illness. Not […]
The strong mail out of George Street is that the exceptionally able Catherine Clarlk, one of the top sports administrators in the Dominion, has been told that her tenure as QRIC Commissioner is soon to be over. Apparently the QRIC itself is all but a dead duck too. Whether Kim Kelly decides to ride out […]
The Tony Gollan trained gelding Dranitzelle incurred a proximal spiral stress fracture to the R radius (a long bone) on or about the 12th of May 2025. We don’t know how it happened, because the unacceptably brief Stewards Report into the matter – hidden away in the official report of an unrelated race meeting – […]
