  • Agreed was pretty boring race in the end.

  • The replay is on the tabtouch app, if want to view. A couple of drivers put up their hand.

  • I watched the meeting on the 7plus app, and thought the coverage was very good. Didn’t look like much of a crowd to me, apart from the main event. Race lived upto the hype in my opinion. Track seemed like it was very hard to make ground from back …
  • I'm not sure what the go was, but races 1, 9 & 10 were added as a late programing change, all horses were late noms into them. Might have been to boost the friday meeting.
  • Agree somewhat on the stands but they are running 3 different stand types. One based on NR, one based on discretionary, and the other based on how many lifetime wins. My personal opinion is they stick to the first two.
  • I watched it on free to air tv. Tremendous coverage on the program, and really great personal interviews. Only a 250k race, but thought it was one of the better big races.
  • Doesn't surprise me, I think same happened previous years. If you ever have to deal with licensing, its an immediate negative experience, not a positive one.
  • A lot of people don't go into the stands, because it blows their chances in these LT$8k races and so on. I think maybe a conspiracy to kill the stands a bit...or its just a gaping hole in the current system that the powers to be haven't worked out. …
  • Just to correct you Marko, Les Marriott was The Rifleman.
  • Has gone back to re: planning and pricing.As we all know costs have gone up lots.Interest rates and cost of materials andLabour have increased ? I think a planB and C needed. A short sighted plan Awas a great wish list { plan A only}Dream time a the…
  • Wasn’t a lot more he could’ve done there in my opinion, was a victim of circumstance.
  • Love it or hate it, think this was just a matter of time... Out of interest, where is the Dumesny report published? Or is it only for RWWA, and not shown to stakeholders?
  • Can openly say I never recieved any survey of any description I received it via Botra.
  • One horse race 1 at Leeton today, NSW have scratched all the Ben Yole (6) and Robert Walters (2) runners. Will the 'Race" proceed? Tas Racing has issued show cause warned off notices to those named in the Murrihy Report. HRV considering it's positi…

  • Extraordinary report. Didn’t leave a stone unturned, including failings of stewards, NR system, knackery, traceability etc. Surely a lengthy ban for both Yole brothers. Think unfortunately ABC will have a field day with this report. Tieing horses …
  • No handicap no turnover no future, Northam Cup tonight great handicap race. It terms of a spectacle, always feel that the Fremantle cup and AG Hunter Cup, lost a bit of sparkle when they went to mobiles.
  • Interesting to hear this, really enjoyed listening to his analysis and opinions. Was an asset to the show.
  • The big problem with WA Trotting - is West Australians are so apathetic - they are very good whingers - and i dont know why , cost of houses is 50% cheaper than over East , plus we have got sensational weather  Now if you compare the town of Young i…
  • I’m weary that the best “innovation” of late is 1177m races, which naturally would never work on our metro track for obvious reasons.

  • One thing I did find kind of crazy, was that the million dollar race wasn't a Quaddie leg.
  • Just having a look at that, judges decision final but, that's a dead heat going off that pic IMO.
  • I had a bet a couple of years back with Neds, just 10EW on a horse that won at 200 to 1, after that they blocked me from betting WA trots. BET365 allow only tiny amounts. Tabtouch, i rarely bet on fixed as odds are poor, but i will have a bet early…
  • Think it was a terrific drive, needed some luck in running - got it, and definitely was rated incorrectly by bookmakers in early markets.
  • I think if you had to pick between Pinjarra and GP tracks, based on a "perceived" fairness for runners, Pinjarra would win out. Plus Pinjarra has added benefit of horses getting around it cleaner, as opposed to many getting on their knees etc on the…
  • I don't think that Busselton could ever attract a class of horse that would make a difference to turnover irrespective of stake money. Don't think I would like to race a promising horse under the conditions that prevail at Busselton. Good horses get…
  • Amazing result in the last at Northam. Firstly Chris Lewis wins on a bolter Remarkable Star  and plus that bolter wins its first race at 100th race start and defeats the $1.75 favourite Thought Richie could have been a bit more energetic with his ca…
  • RACE 5 – PINJARRA FISH & CHIPS PACE (2185MS)Stewards inquired into the reasons for BURGHLEY SHARD NZ (E. Suvaljko) breaking gait racing out of the front straight on the first occasion.  Stewards heard evidence from Drivers G. Hall Jnr (CAMEOS DE…
  • I could be wrong, but I thought it was introduced as a safety measure to help with the incidence of horses choking down back in the field.
