Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It’s 5.30pm on Saturday afternoon. The Blazing Bull rodeo is on, and so are the night markets. There are people everywhere at the Ipswich showgrounds.

When the vision comes back on there are people running everywhere, and ambulances racing on to the track. The reason is because jockey Robbie Fraehr had taken a terrible fall 20 metres from home, has […]
Honest Wayne Innes, lover of wires, mirrors, and easy money corrupt scams See the name of the owner of the Stradbroke runner Superstorm that I have circled? It’s Grace Solomon-Innes, the daughter of the corrupt cop, twice jailed criminal and racing fraudster Wayne Innes. Young Grace is not responsible for her father’s crimes, so it […]
Trainer Mark Currie has won his appeal on sentence and had his $15 000 fine for presenting End Assembly reduced by the Racing Appeals Panel.
