They race at Broome for the second week in a row this week.
Roebourne has a $17k sprint and a $12k 68+ 1800m race. Decent prizemoney.
Keenelander, Broome horse of the year goes around again.
Map of Roebourne racecourse....looks a dusty joint:

I was thinking, if the remainder were 12 lens behind, surely the two chasing cant blame the clods of dirt being kicked up as excuses?
The committee have spoken about the dust in the past years & suggestions were to oil it like what Broome has, but due to the water table & the Harding River near by this was not possibile (EPA). Grassing it also popped up with the use of the water from the water bores beside the track (Harding River) but who knows?
The Shire Of Roebourne who maintain the track 3 days before the meet with a water truck & a grader & they do a brilliant job.
But speaking to Trainers, jockeys, owners & spectators, with the facilities & the track they say it's one of the best (dirt tracks) around. Big track with a long straight & plenty of room to move, if their up front on the pace or coming from behind it gives every horse a winning chance if good enough.
Two of their biggest meetings Shire of Roebourne Harding Cup/Ladies Day & Roebourne Cup are coming up to see the year out & the club is expecting a big crowd & turn over for both days.
Seachanger looks hard to beat in the first,
A Little Divided in the eliminator, the rest may be long term maidens,
Lordsea as long as it doesn't sit 48 wide the trip, guess who backed it last start???
Keenelander just shows up and wins
With a Flourish to bounce back, should lead and win
Utility came from last on the corner, first up over 1200m last start to run 4th.... it is however a rising 10 year old with 61kgs
Stormish to give Shorty a winner in the last
Or we will have all the tree huggers that are protesting at James Price Point show up and stop the races.

Funny game this racing caper....hope you didn't shovel it on....you were too confident...as I said, a game not for the faint-hearted.
I play the exotics in Broome and have been wagering through one of the corporates. I jagged an exacta yesterday that payed $123 on Ozbet. Because I was getting better than second best of three totes, i got only $48, which was the best of the VIC and NSW totes. Unitab payed $80 odd. I was expecting the $80 dividend which would have been the middle of $123, $80, $48.
I know we share pools for metropolitan meetings, but is this not the case for country meets such as Broome?
Any help would be much appreciated.
WA only shares Win, Place, Trifecta and Quaddie pools for all Australian (plus HK, NZ and UK) races that are covered by supertab,
While I agree with you that quinellas etc should be pooled I get the impression that WA TAB is not doing anything at the moment.
doubles(17% supertab,20% ozbet), quartet/first 4(supertab 22.5%, ozbet 20%)
trifectas(20% ozbet & supertab),quaddies(20% supertab & ozbet)
displayed pools will be before commission is removed.
Keenelander, maybe the back up cost it this week?
He was distinctly over-confident... :roll:
But best of luck to the boys up there. They're having a great time with her, good to see.
Anyone else want to buy a horse ??? ;)
No offence, mate... :lol:
Have sold off many a good one, and don't think have sold one that hasn't at least won a race.
dungy will back me up.............. :lol:
Interesting results at the weekend, track had some work done to it this week, and the results varied accordingly. There wasn't as much backwash this week.
Keenelander was a bit flat, lacked her usual ping out of the barriers, but only got run down in the last 50m. Falcon, don't worry, didn't cost me a cent. Odds on look on, they all get beat. 2 weeks to the next meeting, she will freshen up, and win again.
Tivers, I'll have a couple of Keenelanders at the same price thanks.
Shorty was very unlucky in the last, got taken to the middle of the track, which cost him ground and also gave the winner the run.... got beat a nose.
Black Caviar's 3/4 brother Ibsen simply blew them away in the sprint, will win again.
Different days racing, not sure how the form will stand up.
