Queensland’s Next Lap, Mark Newnham on succeeding in Hong Kong and the mastery of Bob Peters

Welcome to this week's edition of Straight Talk, sponsored by Inglis and Darley.  This episode covers the McGrath review response in Queensland - night racing proposals, the rejected point‑of‑consumption tax cut, board changes at Racing Queensland and a new Racing Australia chairman. It also features updates on The Pattern and greyhound industry shifts. We also hear from Hong Kong trainer Mark Newnham on his rapid rise in an extended interview. We also discuss Bob Peters’ remarkable breeding record, the Aushorse Investor's Guide and catalogue season. In wagering, Tim and Bren examine the tangled relationship between wagering, government funding and the future sustainability of Australian racing.
