Overview
Pearler has been to Queanbeyan three times and won all three, every one of them with Molly Bourke in the saddle and G R Nickson doing the training. That trio lines up again in the Crestwood (Bm82), the best race on Tuesday’s card, and it is the reason this meeting is worth your attention.
There are eight races on a track rated Good, starting at 1:15PM with a Bm50 over 1597m and finishing with the Bm58 sprint at 5:30PM. These Queanbeyan racing tips cover every race: a short-priced maiden favourite worth leaning on in Race 4, a stayer in Race 3 who keeps finding the frame, and a local trainer whose strike rate here deserves more respect than the market is giving one of his runners in the opener. The later races had no bookmaker prices when this was written, so the odds you see here come from the first five races only.
Queanbeyan: the setup
A Good track and a fairly even card. Horse course form is thin once you go past Pearler: Entirely Oak has placed in all three Queanbeyan starts without winning, and Feedback has one win and four placings from five runs here. Most of the rest have one or two starts at the track, if any.
The rider and stable numbers carry more weight, and they are worth a table.
Jockeys with five or more Queanbeyan rides
| Jockey | Runs | Wins | Places | Win% | Place% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pierre Boudvillain | 12 | 0 | 7 | 0% | 58% |
| Molly Bourke | 15 | 5 | 8 | 33% | 53% |
| Q Krogh | 12 | 3 | 6 | 25% | 50% |
| J Taylor | 23 | 4 | 10 | 17% | 43% |
| Damon Budler | 15 | 2 | 6 | 13% | 40% |
| C Keatings | 24 | 4 | 7 | 17% | 29% |
Trainers with five or more Queanbeyan runners
| Trainer | Runs | Wins | Places | Win% | Place% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N J Olive | 10 | 5 | 8 | 50% | 80% |
| Greg Stephens | 10 | 0 | 7 | 0% | 70% |
| Todd Smart | 7 | 1 | 4 | 14% | 57% |
| J M Cleary | 29 | 10 | 15 | 34% | 52% |
| Matthew Kelley | 18 | 1 | 6 | 6% | 33% |
| P J Facoory | 30 | 2 | 8 | 7% | 27% |
Two things jump out. J M Cleary wins with a third of his runners here from a meaningful sample, and Greg Stephens places constantly without converting. Keep both in mind when you build exotics.

Queanbeyan race-by-race
Race 1: Hotel Queanbeyan Country Boosted (Bm50), 1:15PM, 1597m
The market has Ulysses Blue at $3.20 with Unibet, and that looks short for a horse without a placing in three runs over the last 90 days. His last two were fourth and fourth. Honest, but not the profile you take at those odds.
Feedback is the one. He has won once and placed four times from five runs at Queanbeyan, and he won two starts back before a seventh last time. J M Cleary has won ten races from 29 runners at this track, and he does not bring them here to make up the numbers. Barrier 9 means Joshua Loy has a bit of work to do early, but over 1597m there is time to find cover.
Passing Through is the danger. He won one of his three runs in the last 90 days and has the Damon Budler and P J Facoory combination that gets plenty of rides here. Win bet on Feedback at $5.50 with Unibet.
Race 2: Tab Saver Country Boosted Mdn Plate, 1:50PM, 1312m
Head Capitalist ran second last time and is the clear pick at $1.90 with Unibet. His form line has been heading the right way, and Brodie Loy has won one of his three rides here. Todd Smart has placed with four of his seven Queanbeyan runners.
The one that could spoil it is Termeilian. One start for a seventh does not say much, but N J Olive has won with five of the ten runners he has brought here, and C Keatings gets the job from barrier 1 with the light weight. At $5.25 with Bet Right, that is the saver. Lady Cowan ran eighth on debut and is $3.30, which is hard to justify. Isle Of Wight is out.
Win bet on Head Capitalist, small saver on Termeilian.
Race 3: Grid Property Group (Bm58), 2:25PM, 2187m
Two stayers who keep turning up. Ring Of Fire has won once and placed four times from five runs in the last 90 days, and he has the inside gate. Hard Grunt has the same one win and four placings, from six runs, plus a win and another placing from two Queanbeyan starts. The difference is barrier and price: Ring Of Fire is $3.40 with Unibet, Hard Grunt $5.00 with Bet Right.
I side with Ring Of Fire. Over 2187m the inside run saves ground, and Jean Van Overmeire has won one of his three rides here. Hard Grunt gets Pierre Boudvillain, who has placed on seven of his twelve Queanbeyan rides and is still looking for a first winner here. That stat sums up the horse as well.
Big Time Charlie won one of his three starts here and is the roughie. Win on Ring Of Fire, quinella with Hard Grunt.
Race 4: Dale & Hitchcock Mdn Plate, 3:05PM, 1094m
Dirty Dani has run twice in the last 90 days for two placings and is $1.80 with Unibet. Allan Kehoe‘s runner drew wide in barrier 10, but in a maiden over 1094m that is less of a worry than it sounds, and nothing else here has shown the same ability.
The each-way angle is Entirely Oak. Three starts at Queanbeyan, three placings, no wins. That pattern is the same as the stable’s: Greg Stephens has placed with seven of his ten runners here and won with none. At $6.00 with Bet Right, Entirely Oak is the place bet of the race. Danleo at $4.60 has had one run for no placing and is short.
Dirty Dani to win and for multis. Entirely Oak each-way.
Race 5: Tab Quaddie Pump (Bm58), 3:40PM, 984m
Can The Crusher back up from a long break? His form reads third then a win, he has not raced in the last 90 days, and he is $4.60 with Unibet in an open sprint. Allan Kehoe also has Dirty Dani earlier in the day, so the stable comes in with two live chances.
The market has Alabama Hammer favourite at $3.50 with Bet Right. He placed in his only run in the last 90 days and J Taylor has won four from 23 here. Curly Bend ran second last time and has two placings from three recent runs.
The play is Media Coverage each-way at $10.00 with Unibet. He has a win and five placings from six runs in the last 90 days, and has placed in both Queanbeyan starts. Barrier 9 is the knock. Small win on The Crusher, each-way on Media Coverage.
Race 6: Crestwood (Bm82), 4:15PM, 1750m
Pearler has won all three Queanbeyan starts, and the pairing is the same every time: Molly Bourke rides, G R Nickson trains. Bourke and Nickson are three from three together here, and four wins from 26 rides together everywhere. Bourke is the best jockey on the card by strike rate, with five wins from 15 rides at the track.
The form is current too. Three wins and four placings from five runs in the last 90 days, worth more than $46,000. The rise to Bm82 is the only question, and barrier 2 gives Bourke the chance to settle close without using petrol.
Battle Abbey is the danger. He won one of four starts here and gets Q Krogh, who has three wins from twelve Queanbeyan rides. Yes Siree won once in the last 90 days and gets W Costin. No prices were up when this was written. Win bet on Pearler, and Pearler is the leg to build a quaddie around.
Race 7: Carbids Super Mdn Hcp, 4:50PM, 1597m
Hard to have a strong view in a maiden handicap full of horses who keep running places. On The Fly has run second in each of his last two starts, the only placings from his two runs in the last 90 days, and Brodie Loy rides from barrier 3. That gets the nod.
In Circles is the obvious danger. He has three placings from four recent runs but has yet to win, and barrier 11 adds to the job. Banner Banner has two placings from four. Small win on On The Fly, and box the three in a trifecta if you want an interest.
Race 8: Queanbeyan Cup 27 Nov (Bm58), 5:30PM, 1312m
Seaton Moon has had one start and won it, earning $19,700. That is a big unknown stepping into a Bm58, but it is the most upside in the field. Matthew Kelley‘s runner gets C Keatings from barrier 6.
Fred Astern won last start and has won one of three at Queanbeyan for P J Facoory. He has barrier 1 and Deep Shanker, and he is the obvious danger with recent form in the book. You Wish has two placings from three recent runs and is the place hope.
Win bet on Seaton Moon. If you want to play safer, the quinella with Fred Astern covers the two last-start winners.

Where the money goes
NAP: Pearler (Race 6, 4:15PM). Three visits, three wins, and the same jockey and trainer as every one of them. The class rise is real, but this is the best horse on the card at its favourite track.
Value: Feedback (Race 1, 1:15PM) at $5.50 with Unibet. The favourite has not placed in three recent runs, and Feedback has won from a stable that wins a third of its races here.
Banker: Dirty Dani (Race 4, 3:05PM). Two runs, two placings, and nothing else in the maiden has her form. Short at $1.80, but the right multi leg.
Each-way: Entirely Oak (Race 4, 3:05PM) at $6.00 with Bet Right. Three Queanbeyan starts for three placings.
Course angle: J M Cleary has won with ten of 29 runners here. When he sends one, it is worth a look, and today that is Feedback.
If Bourke and Nickson make it four from four with Pearler, this will be the partnership to follow every time they come to Queanbeyan.
