  • My thoughts...Logistically, a trainer getting to the races for a 9am start would be extremely difficult to achieve on a routine basis when travel time & having to be clocked in on course 1 hour before their race at 9am, is taken into considerati…
  • You would be better off running a Saturday morning meeting ( 9.30am to noon WA time ) than a Saturday night meeting. That would be 11.30am to 2pm Easern states or 12.30pm to 3pm in daylight savings. Remember the 1st 5 races on a Saturday night are o…
  • I didn't take any notice of the meeting until I read this thread. So firstly I had to go look for when did Opportunistic last run, it was of course the race before in which it was correctly identified.  Surely this is not a good sign of cognitive ab…
  • The lead time in the Freo cup was 3.9 seconds than the consolation who had a field of 9. Why not go back to a stand for 3 years and see how it goes. It cant be any worse than fridays borefest.

  • Talking through my pocket but how long did they leave them 2 year olds loaded for Some of the early ones were in the gates at least 8 to 9 minutes.
  • It may be a sign of the times with 3 more interest rates forecasted and cutting spending (plus fuel costs) nocticed only $10,400 only in tab touch  win pool its very hard to justify the prize money on offer. We will see after the next 2 days. finger…

  • Yep tonight showed we shouldn’t have discretionary stands when we have a handicapper that doesn’t understand form. Easter cup race for roses and trotters cup all been discretionary and have all had the best horses completely handicapped out of them …

  • Your better off buying a cheapie in the NR30s and racing it for $21,000 on a friday night, then buying an overpriced kiwi or yearling.
  • They brought at least one I say today so they must be half confident to keep buying. Do you think it would look bad if they brought none? How many did they buy, day 1 last year?
  • Tell you what- Darren McAullay has to be the worst judge in running. He said this one was "feeling the squeeze" at about the 600m and it wins... in fact it was about 3 strides later that it took off, and the rest is history. There are so many scenar…
  • If Tom Percy cant get them off , how does a Victorian?
  • Has it been mentioned the level that was detected in the horse? I havent seen it mentioned. Maybe the level was high eliminating the chance of getting it through a stablehand.
  • When is the start date for the redevolopment of GP? Must be soon
  • Formyeyesonly. Broke the track record ..........
  • So it is clear the horse has paced all the way. The driver pleads guilty. And still no penalty. Why cant the stewards give a penalty when it blatantly clear a rule has been broken?
  • Im sure he was as the races just before Xmas, I havent heard a bad word said about Mr Webster, a rarity in the horse industry

  • You would have to look at the tactics on the winner of race 6 from last week, they run a quicker 1st half then the Bendigo cup.
  • Are WA tracks gone to Sh!t? Bunbury had to be 4,5,6 wide today. Pinjarra boxing bay hard against the fence. Perth cup day rail out 7mts ? Why
  • Park in the Members car park off Matheison Rd, hasn't been an attendant on the gate for 10-15 years There is an attendant their on Saturdays
  • There have only been 4 bookies for the last 10 years. Back in the 1980's when I used to go to the Victorian Club, there were up to 10 bookies. This at a time when we still had up to 180-200 on course for the carnival. The bookies were only rails ope…
  • I didnt mind certain segments of the morning radio show but really it needed a major shake up. Some mornings they talked about their own personnel golf game rather than getting someone interesting on.
  • Is junior the best driver in Australia??? As another cricketing Junior said, hes not even the best driver in his family.
  • Farkn hell, looking at the post-race jockeys interviews from today at Ascot... Whoever is responsible for the shite we were dished up on Twitter needs to be p!$$ed off real quick. The jockey's faces were mostly cut off!!! Absolutely amateur fair din…
  • They are available to losing punters EOS
  • 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.…
  • How good is Richie Bell in a photo finish live. How good is Mr Bell at falling in love with Amy Jo Hayes?   :x :x :x You would think on Irish day he would check to see wheres she from before she rode just in case she rides a winner. Whats the qu…
  • Nothing for me Shortte is a liar :)) at one stage I could not even get a fixed odds bet, however after Covid (or as it started to be exact) they allowed me back after a few years with $0 fixed odds bets allowed. I'm thinking their original thought w…
