Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The document above is a creditors petition lodged with the courts by a company that Dean Baring owed a large sum of money to in 2007. A creditors petition is in essence an application to have a person made bankrupt. To lodge one, a company must be owed more than $5 000 by the person. […]
My old mate owns a lovely restaurant down on the waterfront at Shorncliffe, up on the hill. He used to punt, but gave it up for a higher pursuit. Nothing to do with anything, only that if you knew what the higher pursuit was you would understand the irony of the next bit. There are […]
You couldn’t make this one up if you tried. Announcement released at 11.56pm last night. Those in the know (guess who Blue?) knew well before that. Albion Park is cactus as a race track. The dogs are going to get $40 million to build a new track to relocate to. They deserve it too. But […]
This is the featured event on the Albion Park website right now. Saturday’s night’s big races. The time-honoured Sunshine Sprint. And the Group 1 Golden Girl. You’d have to be kidding wouldn’t you? Of course she’s a girl? She couldn’t be a woman could she. Then the little boys who run the club would have […]

Queensland stewards will sensationally pull their support for harness racing in Brisbane in an unprecedented move as a club refuses to stand down a senior official after being committed to stand trial over rape charges. In a bombshell letter, obtained by News Corp Australia, Queensland Racing Integrity Commission boss Shane Gillard informed staff on Thursday morning […]
How strange it is that David Fowler takes his annual leave in the middle of winter, on the exact same day that the close friend that he appointed to the top job at Albion Park was about to be exposed as an alleged rapist. David claims that he did not know that Scott Steele was […]
It’s like we have written the script isn’t it? Funny that. Just wait until you see what comes out in the plea deal. There are some questions that keep playing on my mind. Has Scott Steele been protected for so long just because of brotherly love? What about before that? How did he get to […]
Queensland’s Racing Minister is backing a decision to withhold hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding from a leading Brisbane race club after it refused to stand down its CEO, who has been accused of rape.
