Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Steward on duty in the mounting yard at Rockhampton yesterday noticed that SEACRYPTION wasn’t wearing blinkers when it came out for the 7th race. The race book said it was supposed to be, so the ever vigilant stipe pulled the trainer up and said “Oi Boof, where’s the blinkers?” “Where they are bloody supposed […]
Have a look at the ride of jockey Sean Cormack on the leader in the white. Watch what he did. He dropped his hands. It looks like Cormack mistook the edge of the big screen for the winning post out the corner of his eye. From the head-on camera you can see clearly see him […]
Hello Peter I think QRIC should be held accountable for not having their Health Assessment forms dated for the upcoming racing season at the top of their yearly forms.

Queensland jockey ‘Dancing’ Dan McGillivray has been disqualified for 7 months after admitting snorting some of Colombia’s finest (heavily cut) the night before a Kilcoy race meeting and then being silly enough to turn up to ride. The stipes had been tipped off so of course he got told to piss in a pottle and […]
I hate to say it but I am getting mighty sick and tired of writing about licensed riders getting caught trying to pull swifties on Racing Queensland, the QRIC and the entire industry by submitting doctored Health Assessment Reports (HAR). The line of jockeys getting caught acting dishonestly in this respect seems to just keep […]

Murdoch KC is back on his feet to sum up the QRIC’s case. He says that this is an important case. The recordings of Callow’s conduct have gone viral he says, not only in Australia but across the world. The Magic Man tells us that racing is under attack from activists determined to shut the […]
