Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It seems that the QRIC have been doing a ring around of the clubs to inform them that the information that I published this morning about my interpretation that the QLD Racing Integrity Act applies in cases of conflicts with the rules – for example, in relation to inspections and ‘random’ out of competition drug […]
So it was the beginning, so it ends. Outgoing Racing QLD CEO Brendan Parnell boasted on radio to Steve Hewlett this morning that he was up in Kumbia helping out the club with their race meeting because volunteers were a bit light on the ground. It’s a heart-warming story about a grass roots CEO who […]
Gary Woodham is a sexist, a lecher, a creep, and a person who should be sacked as HRNZ CEO immediately. Woodham’s conduct toward driver Elle Barron is unacceptable by any standard. It was uninvited, it was unwanted, and it was simply disgraceful. His desperate attempts to explain it away are even worse. These comments he […]
Your last pair of unbroken or smashed classes. An extra long pee. A weak stomach. The pee comes to an end. You give Mr Strong the final shake. And the glasses slip straight off you head and into the bowl. ” F**k, f*ck, f**k f*ck f**k f*ck!” you scream, loud enough enough that it can […]

I don’t know Peter V’Landys does it*, but he does, and he just keeps doing it every year. The Racing NSW CEO is incredible, and a decent man too. Not everyone thinks so, including some of my mates, but they are wrong. PVL is a good bloke. Trust me when I say this, for I’m not […]
There’s clearly two sides to this story. As an artist, I was unhappy to see young activists attacking Andy Warhol’s famous Campbell’s Soup Cans in the National Gallery of Australia on Wednesday. Society should be breathing a collective sigh of relief that civil disobedience is the chosen modus operandi of the young people who are carrying out these […]
