Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
Archie, Seems the hard working folk at Club QRIC are clearing the backlog of “adjourned” inquiries. Jayden Lloyd was from 28 December 2022. Over 12 months to get to inquiry. 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 […]
Here is a full list of the people invited to the upcoming QRIC Steering Committee meeting. The last two names are KPMG representatives. The others are self explanatory. Bernadette Ditchfield – DAF (QLD Dept of Agriculture and Fisheries) Justine Clark – DAF Rebecca Farrell – DAF Caroline Andrews – DAF Shane Gillard Daren Garrard Cameron […]
What hope does the review of the QRIC have when it is beset with structural problems from the start? Not much is our guess. The review is being conducted by the major consultancy firm KPMG, which is a problem because they are a ‘partner’ of the QRIC, having been involved in the original recommendations to […]
Hi everyone, As you know, in December Minister Grace announced a routine review of QRIC’s powers and functions, and has requested that a report be delivered to her office by Thursday 28 March, 2024. With that in mind, I’d like to update you on how the review is progressing. The review is being conducted by […]
Greyhound trainer Janene Armstrong turned up to the Albion Park race meeting on the 4th of October with two dogs that were significantly underweight, to the point of being the canine version of WW2 POW’s, of which my grandfather was one. It ain’t pleasant. Red Burner was down 2.2 kilograms on its previous racing weight […]
