Always remember stoopid is forever :) Intelligent individuals wouldnt dare attempt to confront and verbally abuse other participants in a public setting such as the stalls at the Pinjarra trots during a race meeting would they now ? Would be a rea…

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..…

Well coming from someone who still actually plays in the PFL and keeps strong tabs on that competition, go through and see how many teams there are just at senior levels (not including colts) , there are roughly 9 different levels of competition A …
-
Well i mean isnt that why we get into this industry , the joy of watching our horses race and hopefully win if not at least be competitive, to me what colours they wear are irrelevant to think otherwise is just ego driven

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 …

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…

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 …

America's been using drivers colour for a fair while now , be interesting too see the response to that from trainers and owners, as a trainer and owner currently im honestly not fussed what colours I have as long as the horse is going well im happy
-
$8.50 chance that led up the 3 wide line for the bell ran last. Horses that were in the market but were no chance due to race shape that held up at the back ran on nicely. Which option is the correct one to take?? if you drew bad and weren't able…

It was Marko who first mentioned the Bond runners. my apologies marko did first, me and sonny both outlined afterwards that they were the only 2 drives you could possibly take issue with , still not sure what your getting at ?? Didnt seem like anyt…

Maybe you might be able to enlighten us as too who warren was referring too, I cant speak.on behalf of everyone on this forum but it would be fair to say the majority of us who watched the replay have no idea who he is on about
-
Well i did because they were the only 2 that you could say were slightly under driven , hardly worthy of having their driving tactics queried but if you were to sit down and watch the replay there was absolutely nothing else you could slightly query
-
Who mentioned the Bond horses? tualou hit the line exceptionally and TLM was held up for a run so based on how they were traveling at the end you could say maybe they were both under driven slightly in saying that the way the race was run i dont …
-
Fair Call But Tualou took the sit three out and so TLM would be on his back also getting the cart up.. If the driver ,trainer and owners are happy then nothing to see.. Thats my opinion for what its worth... yea I mean thats a fair call , bit of a…
-
I thought TLM , could have and should have got on the back of Tualou, but do you think its worthy of being dragged into the stewards over, that 30 second 2nd quarter over a mile in fast class company probably deters alot of drivers coming wide the…

Too busy to watch GP Frid night - thus just watched the replay of race 5 - and then i watched the start - 1st 400 metres or so , and i cant see anything wrong with how any horse in that race was driven What you have to factor in the winner won by 1…
-
That tells me you would make a good steward. Nothing to see. maybe you just have it out for certain people.? Kind of like that race a couple of months ago where you criticised jnr for he's drive on bealawyer I believe it was, yet didnt say anything…

G.Pr2n8...r5n5...r7n5...r8n1... Nhm..r3n10...r4n5...r5n2...r6n4... Good Luck To All A very interesting drive in race 5, nothing to see. which one?? Watch the race and post which one you believe. watched it i couldn't see one that was particular…

Everyone has their own stories to tell.....I also had dealings with her over some quite difficult issues. My experience was the polar opposite of what you describe. Not trying to be difficult, it was just my experience, extremely professional and re…

The two most critical elements in racing are Integrity and Handicapping and our industry certainly lacks both. Mr Don Thomas demanded respect and got in spades. The only other steward in my time that came near Mr Thomas was Ray Murrihy. Barbara Scot…

Very interesting suspension yesterday at Pinjarra, A Hiltunen suspended for applying the whip in more than a flicking motion which is the rule. So what about some of the senior drivers that continually receive a reprimand or a fine and no suspension…
-
Yeah Lavra Joe , Ritchie might be right , could have choked down C Voak , well i suppose fortunate for him that he also trains Fat Louie , because otherwise he might have copped a bit of a spray from the trainer , i dont think it would have beaten …

Well Qld actually infact have 3 sales competing against one another for perspective buyers if we include the Redcliffe sales, I guess we cant really compare any state until ALL sales are complete but I mean facts and figures only count when they bac…
-
Apg is being propped up by the WA sales, if your to look at the sales run by Nutrien Equine , apg over east now has to compete with them as far as the number of horses on offer, from memory nutrien have 60 odd lots in qld , 160 odd in nsw etc, even …

It would take a fair amount of the drug Ritalin in a 450kg to 500kg horse's bloodstream to result in a positive swab. Far more than could be transferred from just touching a horses bridle or head region. The levels the stewards are sitting on would …
-
I mean seemed a fair bit of participation in regards to the Byford meeting in regards to the introduction to the HWOE system and everyone's stance on it, nothing seemed to come of it , all well and good to say support bodies like BOTRA and the like…
-
Will be interesting too see whether or not the voices of the participants will actually be heard and ideas used to help turn this industry around

The process of the appointment wouldn't pass the pub test. The entitled win again. so who in this situation is entitled ?? I reckon you could appoint Andrew Forrest in this position and you still wouldnt be happy
