  • So whos industry is in a better position currently WA or QLD Why don't you read both annual reports and post the facts. i did bring up a bunch of facts and figures about this very argument about a year ago which you unsurprisingly you turned a bli…

  • Some interesting driving tactics race 4, nothing to see. you said that a few weeks ago about a race at Pinjarra and at that point there was nothing wrong with the tactics of the driver you were targeting
  • I’ve said it before I’ll say it again,until rwwa build a training facility your not going to get to many new people into the industry,the cost of land these days no young person can afford to set up a property and train 10-30 horses, And while they’…
  • Field sizes at "Turnover Central" up, turnover up, SP of favourites up, average winning price up number of odds on favourites down....all coming off a very very low base achieved under the RBD heavy HWOE/Conditioned stakes racing. Still nowhere near…
  • Re the Gallops propping up Trotting and have for decades  Maybe that comes into play big time with the 8 gallops trainers ( that it is a huge turning point ) and WA Trotting ends up on its knees  That just might be a good thing , because sometimes …

  • Was at trials today, still haven't heard a participant say anything positive about the nr system, doesnt seem like too many of Cam Browns industry saving ideas have hit the target thus far
  • HRA decision for starters, fundamentally a strong supporter of NR and never ever had an 80 start maiden but there you go. please point out where I mentioned anything about you ?
  • How many times has Ashby led in a race before that race ? Once for a disappointing 6th, has handed up twice before when leading early , based on that i think it would be a fair assumption it would most likely hand up
  • Penalty free races for 3 year olds or part penalties undermines the very basis of handicapping,  just as it has done to every system that the geckos have gotten hold of. Anna's Ann was in "fast class" as a 3 year old, running in Free For Alls (2.13 …
  • I think its pretty well known behind the scenes Zoehrer was a bit of a pain in the ass to deal with on so many levels hence why WA were head-hunting Gilchrist for a fair amount of time, he was never going to break into that NSW team as a specialist …
  • Pinjarra do a good day out the few times ive been  90% of the crowd are pensioners and the retired which is great gives them a good day out, but when your talking about patrons that spend a bit of money over the bar and the on course betting its no…
  • I was going to let Markovina's comments pass, but I feel obliged to defend his denigration of Keith Slater.I am assuming the six game league player was directed at me and I am fair game in that regard.Keith Slater represented WA in three sports Foot…

  • Why wont you give the forum 5 things that you think will bring back crowds to GP. Could'nt give a toss about any submission Robbo . I want your answers because what I saw you could spend a trillion on GP and not get any extra to come . The only an…
  • Sometimes opinions don't support the facts. :D ok facts say leap to fame is the best pacer to grace our shores and there is no argument that can justify anyones opinion as he tops most likely the most important metrics which is prizemoney won and …
  • The whole poinThere is no "fatal flaw" in someone having an opinion that differs from someone else's opinion. There is a "fatal flaw" in professing zero bias as opposed to everyone else's flawed objectivity. I can say a lot of things "emphatically" …
  • Just the one odds on favourite Spyglass at $1.55 and the outrider Princess Katie (they did bet $101) at $61 in the 10 races. Removing the two outriders, the average winning price was $4.28 with over 100 acceptors yet again. I am told this is the las…

  • Tompkins Park on the river. Beautiful...played Country Week there in the middle of January, "River" breeze, bowling green oval in comparison to Jubillee Oval in Northam. VK, do you remember Graham Taylor? Had a horse called Midland Guildford, maybe …
  • I agree Chopchop having played on both decks.The recent England vs England Lions practice game before the 1st Test was actually played on that deck too. always a good day at lilac tho, would be in the top 5 best district cricket decks in the comp, …
  • John Turner shovelled a ton of blue in 1min 17.5 Australian Record 1962 does anyone know has that record been broken. V.K.friend helped put new wickets at Lilac Hill approx 45 years, ago (Harvey )the composition would allow fast bowlers to rip &a…
  • Was lucky enough as a high school kid on a school excursion to be out in the middle as they were doing the pitch report and coin toss Aus vs Pak with a prime Shoab Aktar, a few lads i knew from Rocky-Mandurah district cricket club were stirring Shoa…
  • Rumours are that turnover has increased slightly, does that amount to the industry turning around and heading in the right direction? Not necessarily. I'd assume if everything champagne and caviar the big wigs at rwaa wouldnt of hesitated to share…
  • And let's wait for rwwa to release there annual report before you cast stones , very weird there has been no relivent information released on how well the NR system is going over here, also pretty funny how you wouldn't accept the upward trend of Qu…
  • People are onto this nonsense and their response is an instant turn off. Their "spin alert" meter is more finally tuned. There are many instances of husband/wife/partner/ghost trainer arrangements in racing which everybody is aware of but no one doe…
  • Looking forward to a great night of group racing all under the rbd system friday night, the draws in the majority of the races have made for an interesting discussion, yet again proving that rbd and pbd can both be used in tandem much like the rathe…
