Breaking a resolution here, a one off, because of so much ill-informed commentary on how a newspaper, if one can take the liberty of referring to The West as a "Newspaper", actually works. Honestly, the last two posts are monumental in their fundame…

The solution is staring us in the face. For starters.bulldoze that **** tip at Burswood into the river.

If RPAT upholds their appeal against the invocation of rule 22, that would automatically free them up to continue training until the charges laid under rule 242 are determined. If RPAT dismiss the appeal against rule 22, then their licenses are once…

Binshaw (continued). Every person who claims to have (a) some trotting blood in their veins and (b) at least a smidgen of sentimentality, should be aware of the Binshaw story. Not so much the very well documented early stages of his racing life and …

What it means is that the three person Racing Appeals Tribunal took submissions from the appellants (lawyer) and the Stewards and reserved their decision. They will deliberate further. Meanwhile the stay against the invocation of rule 22 that was gr…

Binshaw Always in The News Following his astounding success in the 1967 Interdominion Final at Gloucester Park, Binshaw who had achieved local hero status and was the idol of the huge harness racing following in existence at the time, was never far …

Oh, come with old Khayyyam, and leave the WiseTo talk; one thing is certain, that Life flies;One thing is certain, and the Rest is Lies;The flower that once has blown forever dies.

Endless clickbait from under the bridge. No more engagement from me with your reactionary pie throwing.

Surely an old announcement with the reference to the COVID package .....but even so, little has changed. The WAFC has announced a similar "community support" package following on from the State of Origin Game. Have pre-warned the local volunteers s…

Lock up the chickens.

Ahh, what a treasure you are. Not only Warren Buffett type unsolicited financial advice on where and when one should obtain horses ...which was placed in its rightful receptacle ...but branching out into Sigmund Freud Territory with psychoanalysis..…

Correct....count the number of country clubs that have folded or had to merge, tally up there "traveling players" (come paid) mercenary's that often make up half the towns league side, tell me which country leagues still have a colts competition, co…

Talking about colours having an impact on "whether my horses are competitive or not" is a nonsensical distraction.

The reality is (look no further than the AFL) that sports that fund from the top down end up with a collapsing pyramid as the base crumbles. Country, grassroots, community and youth football in WA is a crumbling shrinking mess. The payment of someo…

I wouldn't be putting North America up as the blue print to assiduously follow. Tracks closing, going bankrupts, unable to attract "handle" (as they refer to it) or patronage, hitching their wagons to Casino's in an attempt drag the odd punter away …

Incentivising has worked well, hasn't it, absolute winner.? The incentive has been there for ages......and we remain just a staging post for the export market to North America......yep, working a treat, the freighters remain as booked as they ever …

Bunbury fields tonight at 7 races for a $6k meeting is pretty decent, as is Narrogin's 7 races , pretty full on Saturday Night. Pinjarra has 9 races, 90 acceptors, albeit propped up a bit by two trotters races, but more than acceptable. The Tuesday …

So, you have not heard of 'thin end of the wedge" or "foot in the door"? With owners having reverse colours, trainers having reverse colours, some with mutiple sets plus clubs having two sets of "club" colours, the above scenario would happen very r…

Some of us old enough to remember the TV show Peter Gunn and its even more famous Henry Mancini theme music...... when TV first started in Perth...late 1950's? Was some run, D Mac suggesting "hold all tickets.

No worries, happy to help. He ran 3rd in that QE II race, in 1977, four and a half years after he made his debut. (Fastease beat Ala Moana, Tavis and Aurora's Twirp). Going way back, one of my best mates Father in Law, old Bob Groves (father of La…

The solution to multiple runners is not to allocate drivers their own colours, optional or otherwise. It is completely disrespectful to both the owners who supply the horses and the trainers who prepare them. I don't go to work (as the employee) and…

Query on former good horse Tavis from STG has remained unanswered for a while, so here goes. Never raced at 2 or 3, first start at 4 was at Bunbury in a 2.28 front in November 1972 which he won. Then went bang, bang to qualify for racing in Qualify…

Superficially, $3.7 Million gross take is very good, the clearance rate of 67% was not so good but not wrist slashing. Concerning to economists who believe successful businesses have multiple buyers of multiple products in that there were fundamenta…
