Sabotage with no leads – Police hit dead end in Gold Coast turf poisoning probe By Bren O'Brien - January 20, 2025 Queensland Police are of the strong belief that the Gold Coast track was intentionally poisoned by a third party ahead of the Magic Millions but admit they have few leads as to who the culprit may be. The poisoned section of the Gold Coast Turf Club track. (Photo: Facebook/Gold Coast Turf Club) The poisoning of the section of the track around the 500-metre mark forced the Gold Coast Turf Club to move its key lead-up meeting to the Magic Millions and forced a massive around-the-clock effort to get it repaired in time for the $14.5 million Magic Millions raceday. As it turned out, bad weather meant only three races were run on the track on the intended date, Saturday January 11, with the remaining features conducted last Friday night.

While the impacted area of the track continues to recover, police have said they have ruled out accidental damage to the track. Gold Coast Acting Superintendent Jason Tuffley told the ABC that their investigations aligned with the club’s finding that the common glyphosate-based herbicide Roundup was used to kill the grass. It is believed the poisoning occurred around New Year’s Day. The club has insisted that it believed it was an intentional act, even when Racing Queensland and Magic Millions officials conceded it was more likely mishap than malice. The outcome of the club’s own investigation, conducted by agronomist Craig Easton, was that herbicide had been administered using a knapsack sprayer, not a boom sprayer. Police are also adamant a third party was involved, having ruled out any misadventure or otherwise by someone at the club. "It could be a targeted attack against the racing industry itself, or the Gold Coast Turf Club or the Magic Millions event itself," Acting Superintendent Tuffley said. But the likelihood of finding the person responsible seems remote, as CCTV has proven inconclusive and there appear to be no other witnesses. "Unless police receive any new or fresh information in relation to nominating a suspect ... there is less enquiries for us to take action," he said. -
I’m not into the casino stuff, but does Entain allow NZ punters to bet with them online casinos? They must love punters betting like that… -
I initially opened a Crown Bet account, which was transfered to Beteasy. Both were absolutely brilliant, not a big punter but had an account manager who would make contact several times a year, always gave me $100 bonus bets for my birthday. Once Sportsbet took over, was a step down. Initially promos were good but have gradually declined to a point where I get better promos with TAB and Betcha. So might close Sportsbet account, then if they do stop me from punting in Aus, won’t worry me. Did everyone get the Exclusive offer from TAB this week? Deposit $100.00 and receive $100.00 worth bonus bets? Not bad at all..

Was a great day to watch yes I also heard he had done a injury definitely been fair runs last couple be interesting to see if he is in the meeting Sunday hopefully it wasn't greed if he did have a injury -
I've heard some clubs have been put on notice by NZTR with regards to the Racing Act land grab , so expect it to only get worse. There is no way a new CEO will not be on board with this. Rest assured they have no idea about Racing but they are happy to steal to keep the Ponzi scheme going.
