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 a letter from former Racing Queensland Chairman Bob Bentley keen to set the record straight on claims that his Board was responsible for the massive debt the new Kevin Dixon Board has posted for the last financial year.
