Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This is the 21st century isn’t it? The year is 2023. We have progressed. Men can n0 longer rape their wives under the protection of the law. Women vote. Their place is no longer in the kitchen. They don’t get sacked when they are pregnant. Thanks to Pam O’Neill, in racing women now compete on […]
Everyone was at the dogs tonight. It was great to see new Racing QLD CEO Jason Scott in amongst it. Even better was seeing the legendary Pammie O’Neill at the track. That’s Pam with my old mate Pas and the 2nd place trophy in the Group 1 QLD Cup. Beaten a bloody nose. Good on […]
A lot of people have bagged women’s sport over the years, and called it second rate, but they are all very, very wrong. The only reason that women in the past didn’t play as well as men was because they weren’t allowed to. That’s all changed now, and the world is a hugely better place […]
Listen to this. It’s Jason Bonnington speaking. ‘Really, (indistinct) had a gear change that much. Probably should. Brittany Graham’s not really my go.” WTF? Everyone in racing knows that a gear change in the way that this grub is talking about it means gelding, or having your testicles removed. Bonnington has said this is on […]
What sort of warped and weird world are the NZ Racing Integrity Board living in where a jockey can be sent out of the sport for 6 days on suspension for hitting a horse two times more than permissible in a race, but a male trainer who grabs a female fellow participant by the neck […]
Not that many people would know it given the lack of any proper marketing or promotion of the event, but the heats of the Australian Female Drivers Championship are on at Albion Park tonight, pitting some of (but not all) of the best reinswomen from around the land against the Mcmullen sisters Narissa and Taleah, […]
I think I must be missing something here. Racing QLD are paying airfares, accommodation, meals and allowance for 10 woman drivers to travel to and from their bases in NSW, VIC, TAS, SA and WA for a Team Teal fundraising series. The cost of the above is a conservative $20 grand, and probably more. A […]
Can you believe that in the post #metoo, Jeffrey Epstein and his odious mate Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew, Grace Tame and Brittany Higgins age, the Gold Coast Turf Club still thinks it is okay to name a race the OFFICE CHICKS QTIS 2YO HANDICAP? That’s what the first race yesterday was called. The office chicks? […]
It strikes me as a bit rum when one bloke niggles another bloke all night, for no real reason at all, then calls the other bloke outside, goes outside with the fella he has invited for the stated purpose, gets done like a dinner, and then runs off to the coppers and squeals about it. […]
The Brisbane Racing Club (BRC) is run by a CEO, who is male. All four of the club’s Key Management personnel are men. We are unable for legal reasons to comment in any detail on the gender structure of the board, but a simple Google search will tell you all that you need to know, […]
