Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Supplementary Report: Kembla Grange – 10 August 2024 Race 3: Abax Contracting Super Maiden Handicap 1000m: Stewards concluded an inquiry into D. Yeo’s handling of Honey Perfume in the abovementioned race. Evidence was taken from D. Yeo and the filly’s trainer, Mr M. Smith. Stewards also considered a report into the wagering on the event […]
The LNP long spruiked their intention to close down the QRIC when they inevitably come to power at the end of the month appears to have all but vanished into the haze, with the QLD government-in-waiting seemingly abandoning their plan behind the cover of one of those ‘comprehensive reviews’ that politicians call when they don’t […]
The QLD Stewards are taking a close look at Dylan Turner’s ride on Bowrider in the Warwick Newmarket on the weekend. Is it any wonder why? Bowrider’s the horse in 2nd last place on the inside in the white sleeves as the replay rolls. It doesn’t look good from the side view. From the head […]
There were 45 harness races run in 5 cities around Australia on Saturday night. Not a single one of them was won by a horse sired by a colonial bred stallion. Not one.

Mark Jones ‘magic’ run with Rush continued when she made it 4 from 5 since joining his stable in the rating 51 up trot. How much time is Jones really spending out at Woodend Beach. Bob Butt spends a lot, because he’s stabled there. His trotting star of the Brisbane winter Bet N Win was […]
The track surface looked like it still needs to pack down a bit, but it raced fast and well. The best time of the night was 1.56.7 and they ran sub-1.58 in three races, so its a pass. They need to put hoardings on the outside fence from the turn out of the straight to […]
