Horses swabbed pre-race LUVARCHIE, UNCOMMON VALOUR, CLYDE, CAPTAIN FENKEL, BRAD, REDWOOD SHADOW. The QRIC’s inane and insane non-pre race blood test swabbing regime continued at Eagle Farm yesterday, with samples take before the race from only 6 runners on the 9 race card. Isn’t that grand? Is the Commissioner for real believing that this is […]
The world class capital of racing integrity – Queensland – has had a couple of interesting additions to the ranks in recent years, both of them with links of various degrees to the Ben Yole scandal. Harness racing steward Steve Shinn was formerly the Chief Steward in Tasmania, before departing under a cloud sometime in […]
What’s the most common form of cheating – tubing – you don’t have to be a genius to figure out that tubing a horse will give it a huge advantage. If horses are not pre-race tested, how do we find out what’s going on, if it (TC02) is burned off in a race? – Robert […]
There are some interesting internal rumblings happening at QRIC at the moment. Apparently at the recent Review meeting Commissioner Gillard sat mute, as did some participants who were unwilling to raise concerns, apparently fearing retribution if they did. There is also a possibility that some former QRIC employees who left the organisation as a result […]

Why would it take that long? Next up….Chip Collis from Warwick on Tuesday 18 April 2023. Lloyd involved here too. Collis allegedly had a winning […]

Corporate high flyers KPMG have been engaged to handle the review, which is set […]
Horses swabbed pre-race TOO MUCH CLASS, NOAH ‘N’ A DEEL, SO DAPPER, ESSONNE (NZ), HOLLYWOOD NORTH, RENOUF. Horses swabbed post-race All winners, JETTY. There were 10 races at the Sunshine Coast yesterday, but only 6 runners were pre-race swabbed and just 1 horse outside of the winners post-race tested. Compare that to Randwick’s 10 […]
I don’t think that either Cyclones Jasper or Kirrily are most North QLD trainers first eye of the needle rodeo. I suspect that for many of the QRIC stewards it is. Which makes it all the more ironic that they are telling North Queenslanders how to suck eggs during a cyclone. The next thing you […]
