Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It’s hard to believe what we have just seen. In the heat of a stirring battle down the straight with the lion-hearted Kanena Provlima, driver David Moran has lost his mind and dropped his foot, and in full view of the cameras and the crowd he has hocked Captain Hammerhead to the lead and across […]
Former Group 1 winning jockey Shane Scriven – Scrivo to his friends, of which there are many – attended the Magic Millions meeting today in his official capacity of coach and mentor to Queensland’s apprentice jockeys. Or that was the official line anyway. The reality is that there was only one Queensland licensed apprentice at […]
January 11, 2025 Racing Queensland has advised that the remainder of today’s The Star Gold Coast Magic Millions meeting will be transferred to Aquis Park this Friday evening. Following the opening three races, the meeting was postponed due to persistent wet weather. The remaining seven races – including the $3 million Magic Millions 2YO Classic and […]

We […]
Don’t Call Me Honey was directed to wear a tongue tie at Eagle Farm on Wednesday, even though it’s not part of the horse’s registered gear and the connections didn’t want to. With the tongue tie-on the horse race fiercely in front and went too fast for it to me any competitive hope at the […]

This is to allow the (Melton) locals attending to spend a dollar or […]
What was surely one of the last racing appeals heard by QCAT under the old (pre-Racing Appeals Panel) system was also one of the most ridiculous too. QRIC Stewards had found Kyle Wilson-Taylor guilty of improper riding in a midweek race at Doomben in the winter of 2022 and suspended him for 4 weeks. KWT […]
Until just six weeks ago the pacer Miki Pins was trained by Ben Matthews, and had won just 4 races from 13 starts – at Wagga(twice) Swan Hill and the C-grade track at West Wyalong and was rated an NR67. Somewhere in mid-Novermber the horse was transferred to Jason Grimson, and suddenly, almost as if […]

https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/APC07012505.mp4 We told you yesterday about how the WA Stewards had allowed Lindsay Harper to drive a horse other than the one he drives in a race at Gloucester Park last night. The horse lost, as did the one that Harpers owns and drives, but that is not the point. The point is that the […]
