Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Yesterday’s meeting at Rockhampton was a run of the mill Friday afternoon provincial affair, nothing out of ordinary at all. Yet five Stewards worked on the card, including Daniel Aurisch, the Brisbane based no 2 stipe in the Sunshine State. Why? It is decidedly odd, especially given that the very next day was the last […]
Yesterday was the feature race meeting of the year at Ipswich, a program featuring races worth up to $200 000 that is an integral part of the Queensland Winter Racing Carnival. There were nine races on the card. The QRIC racing integrity officials took 9 pre-race swabs. Six of them were taken from runners in […]
Suspensions: Race 8. J. Kah – AR131(a) – careless riding – 13 days. From midnight 11th June 2022 until midnight 24th June 2022. I am totally confused. Did Jamie get suspended in the Stradbroke or did Craig Williams? If it was J. Kah, then why was Williams advised of his right to an internal review? […]
How can it possibly take six years to conduct and conclude what should have been a relatively simple Stewards Inquiry into a horse throwing a positive swab? I don’t care how many excuses about delays and unavailable witnesses that the stipes throw up, that is just duck shoving. No inquiry should take this long, and […]
In another free promotion for the peterprofit.com website, today Ben Dorries has ‘revealed’ that a QLD jockey rode a winner while he was supposed to be out suspended. If you recall, we actually broke the story for 4 weeks ago. You always hear it here first. QLD Race Stewards – When Only the Best Will […]
In Queensland the answer is seven. See the official Stewards Report from Eagle Farm yesterday (above)? Ingratiating was slow to begin and raced wide without cover it says. I backed Ingratiating. It is the horse in the Godolphin blue in the replay below. As you can see, Ingratiating never, ever left the fence, not even […]
Anyone standing at the Eagle Farm gates waiting for them to open at around 10.00am yesterday morning must have thought the track was being invaded when an army of 21 QRIC soldiers sprung out of land transports and charged toward the course. The 7 Stewards, 4 Judges, 3 swabbies, 2 Clerks of Scales, 3 Starters […]
This scrawny, mangy ghost of a horse is King Kulafu. My mate The Boxer owned him until a couple of weeks ago. He last saw him at the start of May before he left for Thailand to get married. At that stage the King was a healthy, well muscled, fit horse. The King raced at […]
Clayton ‘Crayons’ Warren is a Senior Stipendiary Steward with the QRIC, and the acting Chief Steward on the Darling Downs. Crayons chairs the panel at the Toowoomba race meetings, and is the man in charge. Or at least he was until yesterday. But now all of a sudden he’s the Stewards Secretary, the junior who […]
A horse named Steel Prince died on the track at Eagle Farm yesterday. His death happened 200m from the winning post, on the first lap of a 2 lap race. The horse suddenly faltered, then suddenly veered sharp left toward the outside fence. It’s jockey Nash Rawiller fell off. Steel Prince headed sideways toward the […]
