The last time that I looked Brad Tamer, the former spokesperson for Australia’s largest corporate bookie Tabcorp, was the General Manager of Operations at QRIC, and earning more money than any pleb Steward in the joint.

I wonder if that was a smart decision in hindsight? The QRIC Integrity Investigation Team conducted a without warning inspection of the new Neasham stables yesterday. As […]
This is the Stewards report from the internationally broadcast TAB meeting yesterday at Rockhampton. It was a schemozzle, a monument to incometence. Six horses were late scratched from the program as they had no jockey to ride them. There was never going to be anyone to ride them, for the races in question were programmed […]
