Gibbo grew up attending the races in his local area of the Gold Coast and Murwillumbah, where his family and close friends always had horses racing at some stage or another. This is where he learnt and fell in love with the racing trade.
Gibbo has built brissyraces from 40,000 page hits in 2011 up to around 800,000 in 2019, pretty much through word of mouth and happy punters.
In this day and age many people are simply ‘time poor’ and this site is a way for people with an interest to check in each day for a best bet or news. Even once a week and read the 5-6 articles that Gibbo has put up to find out what’s going on in racing. Previews will be done and punters can make what they like of the information.
Gibbo and a few mates have shares in a few local horses including Care To Think and Lifesaver. He now resides on the Gold Coast with his young family and is excited to produce a fresh website for people to take an interest in.
*Gibbo’s now doing QLD previews for RACING.COM Friday and Saturdays, also the odd Nth Qld meeting. www.racing.com
*All Gold Coast Turf Club previews/reviews and trial information can be found at https://www.gctc.com.au/gibbos-tips-3/
You don’t have to be a racing nut to enjoy the Brissyraces site, so spread the word and lets have a bit of fun!
UPDATES as of AUGUST 2025:
I am still racing a couple, unraced ANOTHER CASHIE and also SILENT CALL (which is the TWO FLOGS PODCAST horse).
With my first born close to finishing school (I know, makes the photo old doesn’t it!) Not sure what to do with myself. Might have to get her on brissyraces with me to keep her at home.
The youngest Arlia Gibson is now a representative netballer who has played Bond University u/19’s Elite Premier League netball and will represent the Sunshine Coast Thunder at the 2025 u/16 Queensland State Titles. Also had a good start to the year representing South Coast u16-19 at the Queensland School State titles.
The TWO FLOGS podcast is now a massive part of my life. We have three shows a week and APPLE or SPOTIFY are the best places to listen.
