Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Can anyone help to work this one out, for it makes no sense to me. Each swab sample taken and analysed by the QRIC costs $327. That was the budgeted figure last year (number on left), and it is the same number in the current year (number on right). Numbers don’t lie, do they? If […]
This is the worst Steward’s decision in the world, and the dodgiest one too. A teenage kid claims more allowance on runners at a non-TAB meeting than he is entitled to, by mistake. The mistake is not his, it is the Stewards. The Chief Steward had issued an edict some time back decreeing that apprentices […]
This wise missive was sent in by a regular reader in response to our story about the Steward’s mistreatment of apprentice jockey Cody Collis Hello Archie Your article today articulates exactly what does happen in that and a lot of work places. The little vulnerable guy gets the arse kicking when really he is learning, […]
QLD Deputy Chief Steward Daniel Aurisch sucking up to Her Royal Horseness Zara Phillips. He’d be better off doing his leadership job by applying the rules properly and fairly instead Yesterday we told you the story about how last week the Bundaberg Stewards panel had wrongly assessed and approved apprentice jockey Cody Collis’ allowance as […]
you The QRIC have reacted admirably to the embarrassing balls up by their Stewards at the Townsville greyhounds on Tuesday night. Well sort of anyway. No, not really. They’ve just made it worse.

What happened next when the Stewards swept the gross error under the carpet and declared the rake a race was something worse. There are so many […]
Last night the Toowoomba meeting was abandoned mid-stream due to what the Clifford Park club says was a lighting issue beyond its control. I am reliably told that there is a whole lot more to the story to that. Will the Stewards tell the full tale in their official report? Or we will have to? […]
Jockey Scott Sheargold sexually harassed a young stablehand when she 15 and 16 years of age. It wasn’t a one off, it was course of action over a protracted period of time. He told this young girl – a kid, just out of school – that he wanted to take her virginity, and described in […]
NORTH Queensland jockey Scott Sheargold has been fined by stewards after pleading guilty to sending an inappropriate text message to a fellow racing participant. Former jockey Danny Adam, the father of the racing participant, Charlotte Adam, who received the inappropriate text message, said he is appalled by Sheargold’s actions. Charlotte, who is a regular strapper […]
This is what should happen to grown men – if that is the word to describe them – who send sexually explicit text messages to teenage girls telling them that they want to fuck them, and saying they want to take their virginity, and boasting about what big guns they are in bed.] What a […]
