Details: Published: 05 December 2012

THIS website 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 from around the country has been welcomed. Your response to our new (re-named) feature ‘The Good, the Bad & the Ugly’ continues to grow in popularity. 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. No doubt the critics of this website will be accusing us of ‘bashing’ racing in Queensland again after this week’s Whinge. What they need to remember is that we’re not the ones writing the e-mails, we’re not the ones making the news and most of all we’re not the politicians and officials calling the shots. All we are doing is providing a platform for comment.
