Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Archie The only people who didn’t see that Scarlett Moda was dead as a maggot last start at Tolga in January were the QRIC stewards. Marty from Malanda Editor’s Note I am not quite sure about that myself. But is was a rather odd ride.
Kim Daly sat on the QLD Racing Review panel. No-one elected him. He was appointed by his childhood mate the Racing Minister. The review panel recommended huge changes to QRIC. QRIC employ the Stewards. And here Kim Daly is. How interesting. It’s only a rort if you are not in on it.
There has been a lot said written and said about the QRIC’s proposed changes to license conditions in QLD that will require dog trainers to have ten starters a year before they can get or keep one, and the Deputy Commissioner Kim Kelly has responded to letsgohorseracing to state his side of things. But no-one […]
The word out of the Brekky Creek bunker is that Crayons has been appointed the new Chief Steward at Toowoomba. It is a curious appointment, for Crayons is a chap named Clayton Warren, a young bloke who used to work on the barriers up at the races here in North QLD about a decade ago, […]
Are we in some parallel universe or something? How else do you explain yesterday’s Doomben Stewards Report? https://www.racingqueensland.com.au/racing/full-calendar/thoroughbred/meeting/doom/20260207/stewards-report The summary says that Jag Guthmann-Chester (JGC) was injured or ill after race 1, and required a medical certificate prior to resuming riding. But the report of the race mentions nothing at all about the injury/illness. Not […]
The strong mail out of George Street is that the exceptionally able Catherine Clarlk, one of the top sports administrators in the Dominion, has been told that her tenure as QRIC Commissioner is soon to be over. Apparently the QRIC itself is all but a dead duck too. Whether Kim Kelly decides to ride out […]
The Tony Gollan trained gelding Dranitzelle incurred a proximal spiral stress fracture to the R radius (a long bone) on or about the 12th of May 2025. We don’t know how it happened, because the unacceptably brief Stewards Report into the matter – hidden away in the official report of an unrelated race meeting – […]
Mature age apprentice Tom Orr (pictured above) clearly has some problems with his weight, but the young man has to stop wasting or it could do him serious long-term damage. Orr’s registered riding weight is 55.5kg, which while light by normal standards for someone who is 170cm (5ft 6″), is a bit too heavy for […]
How many times do starters and barrier attendants in Queensland have to get it wrong about removing pre-race ear muffs until they finally learn. It is not that hard. Black muff are part of the gear and stay on. Red muffs come off as a horse enters the barrier. That’s how it supposed to happen […]
We give Stewards heaps here on peterprofit.com, but none of it is ever personal, or intended to be anyway. Often we will slag the stipes off over what we perceive as performance issues, but like all of our stories it’s said through the lens of a bloke in the public bar at the Geebung RSL […]
