Letsgohorseracing - Wednesday Whinge

Details: Published: 24 October 2012

THIS web-site continues to listen to what our readers have to say and has introduced a ‘Wednesday Whinge’ where you can express your feelings on racing industry issues of the past week. Try to keep them objective. Just e-mail: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

OUR decision to introduce the Wednesday Whinge with snippets of gossip from around the country has been welcomed, especially since something similar was dispensed with when Mark Oberhardt left The Courier-Mail and his Ear column was discontinued. Your response to our new feature ‘The Gossip, The Threats and The Wankers’ has been overwhelming. It also gives us a chance to run some of your e-mails too hot to handle in the mail box in a toned down version that still gets the message across. Spearheading the e-mails that we are running this week is an explanation to growing concerns within the racing industry in Queensland concerning the future of QTIS. There are a number of interesting comments, including a bagging for a leading ratings expert, calls for more financial transparency from racing authorities and allegations of unbelievable payments to a TVN consultant.

Spearheading the e-mails that we are running this week is an interesting stance by trainers in Mackay attempting to have the liquor licensing ban on under 18-year-olds overturned so that families can again attend major race days in the country; there comments on how well the new Minister and Board are travelling in Queensland racing; criticism of Gai Waterhouse after her Caulfield disaster last Saturday and a warning that should concern the industry in Queensland about the closure of a bio-security laboratory in Toowoomba.
