The Worst Stewards Report in History?

by : peterprofitracing4 weeks 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.

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.

by : peterprofitracing1 month ago

Mature age apprentice Tom Orr (pictured above) clearly has some problems with his weight, but the young man has to stop wasting or it could do him serious long-term damage. Orr’s registered riding weight is 55.5kg, which while light by normal standards for someone who is 170cm (5ft 6″), is a bit too heavy for […]

Here We Go Again

How many times do starters and barrier attendants in Queensland have to get it wrong about removing pre-race ear muffs until they finally learn. It is not that hard. Black muff are part of the gear and stay on. Red muffs come off as a horse enters the barrier. That’s how it supposed to happen […]
