Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This is taken from this year’s QRIC annual report. The dud, totally oppositional outfit who think as a general rule that greyhound people like my mates and I are all grubs is reporting on their wonderful achievements in the financial year 2021/22. Aren’t they just brilliant? $30 million brilliant. Operational focus – achievements and challenges […]
See that? It’s an extract from the Queensland Liquor Act published on the State Government website business.qld.gov.au. Now look this. It’s a story on Racenet, accompanied by a quote from the Chairman of the Gold Coast Turf Club Brett Cook. Gold Coast Turf Club chairman Brett Cook confirmed anyone who shows up with a general […]
See the horse that I have circled? Do you see it wearing any blinkers? If you do, take your own off. There aren’t any. He is not wearing blinkers at all. Which creates a bit of a problem. Why? Because the official racing Queensland form guide and results says that he is. So does RISA, […]
What you see in the picture comes from the widely read primary producers bible, the Farmers Online website. Every farmer in the nation checks their weather forecasts here, for their livings depend on knowing when the rain is coming, and none of them trust the BOM. https://www.farmonlineweather.com.au/long-range-forecast/28-day-rain/qld/southeast-coast We are being told a great lie right […]
This is the official release from Racing QLD. I am confused. Is this reality or spin? The Magic Millions meeting was postponed due to wet weather and poor visibility following 14mm of unforeseen rain since 3.00am. Race meetings don’t get cancelled because of a tiny 1.4cm of rain falling on a good track over the […]
As you can clearly see from the information published by the racing bible RISA, the Gold Coast track manager Nevesh Ramdhani made the very ill advised decision to dump 44mm of irrigation – water – on the track in the 7 days leading in to todays aborted meeting. That’s 2 inches of water, applied to […]
Gold Coast track curator Nevesh Ramdhani suspects a rogue sprinkler was partly behind Saturday’s debacle, which saw the Magic Millions meeting called off after just two races. Ramdhani, who says he is not 100 per cent sure what caused a wet spot on the turn to appear on Saturday morning, says he was let down […]
Someone from the Gold Coast Turf Club – my guess is Nevesh Ramdhani – arrives at the track at the crack of dawn to inspect it. Ramdhani – who has dumped 44mm of water from the infield pond onto the track over the previous few days – finds to his horror that the area of […]
Scott Steele is the controversial CEO of Albion Park who is currently stood down as a result of pressure from the Racing Minister, after she became aware that he is presently on bail after being charged the year before last with rape and sexual assault charges involving two separate young woman victims who were racing […]
Graham Dwyer is a gun Queensland trot trainer who ran 4th in the State Premiership championship last year with a win rate of about one in every eight starters from over 850 that he took to the track. Dwyer rarely steers them these days though. In 2022 he drove just 44 times, and won just […]
