  • They lock up the carpark over night so you can't get your car later....unless you drive over the wildflowers where there is a narrow opening :D
  • OMG....I cannot stomach listening to Scott Cummings and Giggling Tim Gossage on my drive to work every morning. They are two days in to this timeslot and I have officially turned off. Sports Daily worked with their regular guests and structure etc. …
  • The thing that really sh!t$ me though about Richie is, when he said how far from first to last in the call... Yesterday in race 6, prime example. At about the 500m- "Too Dardy about 10 from the leader". Fair dinkum it was 5 lengths ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM.…
  • Massive crowd at Ascot today. Bigger tham quokka crowd I reckon.
  • Massive crowd ar Ascot today. Bigger tham quokka crowd I reckon.
  • The communication was they moved yesterday’s meeting to protect the newly laid “trench” section which is understandable considering the weather. But are we saying the rest of the track is no good as well after 2 meetings ?
  • July 26th Western Derby bouncedown 2.15pm. How convenient.  :D
  • Can someone tell me why the AFL schedules games in the hottest states at the hottest part of the day in the hottest month of the year ?

  • The “find the rail” tactic is wearing a bit thin. Especially when you don’t have the magic Pike whistle…..just sayin.  B-)
  • Pre season has dragged on but looking now looking forward to the real stuff.Hopefully the young boys step up and show a bit. Refreshing to have a new man in charge who can reinvigorate the group.Need Pikey to return as well. Too many jocks in the sa…
  • Team riding in the Cyril Flower ? Stewards vision tells a tale.
  • CJP....hang your head after yhst one. [-X
  • CJP reaction on the winning post when he saw what went past him. He was Hemlocks rider in his earlier starts this campaign.#-o
  • So many negative comments on here lately about Perth Racing, crowds, quality of fields etc etc.Railway stakes, Melbourne Cup, Irish Day, Opening Day crowds were really good.Some people leading into xmas, have so many things  on. Also people cant aff…
  • I went for 3 races yesterday and couldn’t wait to get out of the joint. People were off their heads. Massive crowd but was not enjoyable. 
  • Track appeared to be fair today to my untrained eye.  =D>
  • Caulfield bias not acceptable.
  • Can't believe protest not upheld considering the small winning margin. To say 2nd horse momentum was not compromised is a joke. Horse crab walked for a couple of strides due to being pushed off its line. @-)
  • Deto, perhaps the start of taking out  the trash should start with the entire board being sent on permanent gardening leave. As a major commercial operation in WA, it would seem they couldn't run a bath football wise. I agree Jay Jay. The board dis…

  • We may get the obligatory sugar hit when the coach gets moved on. But next year will hopefully bring renewed hope and improvement. There should be a number of mid tier players who would be s***ing their pants and should start testing the market. No …

  • More of the same s*** today. No real game plan. Too many average players taking money under false pretences. If the Eagles want to get Jack to 300 games play him as a sub and give him 10 mins at the end of each game. Having Jack Williams warming the…

  • 100% Homer is all about getting Jack to 300 games. Mates looking after mates. The board with Justin Langer on it looking after his mate Simpson. The acceptance of those in power at the Eagles of our inept team performances where no young player has …

  • Thanks for the thoughts fellas.We were insipid, pathetic and weak yesterday.Homer has to go. The board has to go. Eagles fans turn up because there is nothing else to do on a Sunday arvo in Perth.When I say fans I mean the “blue rinse set” that have…

  • Anyone want to elaborate on the armed hold up at a Kalgoorlie Tab by a well known local identity years ago.I heard even though the robber was wearing a balaclava it didn`t stop the Tab manager from calling the armed robber by his first name and a fe…
  • Still here Old Hindrance. Had high hopes of going deep into the footy tipping but threw in the towel after round 8. Just enjoying the "Harley" show. Time for Homer to go. Get big Cox and bring Warner with him. [-O<

  • Are there any shuttle buses to Optus from Ascot ?
  • danny had what is called bow legs, many old time jocks had them. they are painless and did not impede their rides.no pain when on a horse..of course he'd say that.... I rode a horse about 25 years ago. After 20 mins I had to get off.  My knees were …
