Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Four months ago I tipped you that Scomo was a bird to win the Federal election. Poll by poll more and more people kept calling me an idiot and a fool. They’ve never met Albo, and don’t know him. I have, and do. The bloke is a flake, an absolute pretender. He is Labour hack […]
Everyone imagines that harness racing in Perth is flying, and until an hour ago I did too. Why wouldn’t you? The prizemoney is up there with the best in the country, the two feature races are worth three-quarters of a mil, the horses are strong, and the owners are cashed up and willing and ready […]

Brisbane Greyhound Racing Club CEO Luke Gatehouse (pictured right at top, with Racing QLD board rep for the dogs Dale Cartwright) is an outstanding racing administrator, and a huge asset to the sport.

It’s Easter this long weekend, and most people in Queensland have four days off. Racing Queensland has scheduled no race meetings on Good Friday, 11 race meetings on Easter Saturday, 1 on Easter Sunday, and 2 on the Monday public holiday. Call me the voice of reason and common sense (it would be a first), […]
