Brett Kitching TODAY was not only the final Ipswich race day for 2020 but my last edition of this column as I am soon galloping off to retirement. It has been a great joy to report on thoroughbred racing in Ipswich and to work with The Queensland Times. The paper for many years has played a huge role in supporting Ipswich thoroughbred racing and helping to maintain the prominence of the Ipswich Cup. Special mentions for guiding this column and providing insight go to Peter Foley and of course David Lems, the positive, passionate sports enthusiast who has been of enormous assistance to the club over his 36 years at the QT.
