Bob KATTER: This question is to the CEO. I should start by saying that prior to your tenure there were a number of issues with track redevelopment, namely at Charters Towers and Charleville, and, as I understand it, personnel being moved on.

In 2019 the Charters Towers Jockey Club was granted $275 000 by Racing Queensland for a track upgrade, and the next year it received a further $175 000 to the irrigation, a total of $450 000.

Earlier in the week we postulated that trainer Chantal would scratch the weakest hope out of her four runners in tonight’s Queensland Derby Always Smokin, so that one of her strongest chances, the reserve Duke Of Scotland, could secure a starting place in the field from his plum 2 draw. In the end she didn’t […]
A day hardly ever seems to go by in Queensland racing without a stuff-up somewhere in Queensland. A week ago it was Eagle Farm calling off a meeting mid-stream due to known problems flaring up again, last night it was the Redcliffe trots turn.
