The mass exodus of senior staff from the QRIC continues apace, with two more named to add to the list. Integrity Manager Michelle Nye, who only joined the integrity body in May this year after a distinguished investigative career at the QLD Crime and Corruption Commission, is gone, leaving of her own accord. General Manager […]
The Equine Racing Injury Working Group – known by perhaps the most apt acronym in history ERIWG (say it out aloud) – was a purportedly representative body established a couple of years back by the QRIC to address the hugely important issue of injuries being suffered in races, trials and in training by racehorses, with […]
The website peterprofit.com and its authors are committed to the principles espoused by prominent US journalist and political commentator Ana Kasparian above. Journalism IS about keeping people in positions of authority accountable, in racing as much as in other fields of life. Racing is funded with public money, and those who are in charge of […]
The first set of lights at the top of the straight in Redcliffe are clearly out. Yet still they race on. Why are the QRIC permitting this to happen when it’s clearly dangerous?

Apparently a Racing QLD representative and the QRIC Deputy Commissioner are on a charter flight to Rockhampton on Thursday to pick up Senior Steward Shane Larkins en route to flying on to Longreach, from where they will drive to outback Isisford to inspect the […]
As we read earlier, the QRIC rostered a junior Steward named Ethan Suli to chair the stewards panel at the meeting in Barcaldine on Saturday, despite having the experience Senior Steward Tate Hudson working at the meeting. It wasn’t an isolated incident. Junior steward Ethan Suli chaired yesterday’s meeting at Mackay too, while Tate Hudson […]
It’s just a fast growing whisper at this stage, but the mail is that there is apparently a delegation comprised of members of the Trainers Association, the Jockeys Association, the Owners and the Breeders who are meeting with the QLD Racing Minister on Wednesday to vent their deep concerns about the QRIC regarding their lack […]
Our mail is that another very senior manager at the QRIC has been given the long march from the Breakfast Creek office, this time reportedly with an escort to usher them on their way out.
