Would you be feeling fine with paying that amount with your horse not earning tho ??? I mean it's worse case scenario but I've known owners within the trots who have complained about paying $1500 with there horses not earning along the way , I know …

I think the trainers can adjust their training fees according to their business model and don’t need a percentage of the winnings. All winnings should go to the owner minus the jockey percentage imo if you were to take away there % and adjust there…
-
With the steady increase of training fees, I think the trainers winning percentage of 10% is probably a bit steep

Don't have a tabtouch account , regardless if in doubt head on the side of caution
-
Tough one I mean end of the day can't really blame drivers on erring on the side of caution , there would be an absolute uproar if the race continued and something did happen and a horse and/or a driver were to get hurt
-
Didn't actually see any of it or how far into the race the incident actually took place , but if someone's broken a rein its a bit of a safety issue out there so I don't think there's any real issue with drivers pulling up so that the situation is m…
-
What happened exactly , heard that the rein of one of the drivers broke and some horses pulled up while others kept going ??
-
It's hypocritical to believe by shrinking the footprint you grow the industry, this is not my opinion it's based on facts and figures supplied by RWWA & HRA and this has happened Australia wide so as soon as people stop listening to the propagan…
-
Great to know that you know more about my "bottom dollar" and and my motivation to race horses than either myself, my family, my trainer or my bank manager. A foolish and ridiculous comment. without the outer country tracks your money making capaci…

Warranambool get a great crowd over there carnival , outside that tho how big are the crowds ??? If Warranambool was such an epicentre of racing how come a former leading WA trainer just closed there stables over there citing lack of staff and disco…

I wonder what propaganda GP will come with if the development doesn't happen. let's face it gp is outdated on so many levels , but if it's outdated and needs to go so do alot of the other tracks , anything smaller than 850 metres with tight corners…

How nice it is for me, living in an alternative universe, immune to reality and actual facts. A blissful existence where sometimes you just can't consume enough Kool Aid to to cope with the reality of what one actually sees and reads. "Alternative F…
-
Hey proof in the pudding just have to have a gander at the social media profiles of some people that were there on the night and you would see the crowd was fine ,I know the people have there agenda with rwwa and gp won't want to accept that and tha…
-
It will be bigger in comparison to the Nullarbor but will it be bigger and better in comparison to previous quokkas?? Consistently big crowds to the races are a thing of the past, even bridgetowns meetings were under large compared to previous seaso…

Tess daly of the gallops industry posted a video on her social media and I just say OPSM might be something you may have to look at investing in looked like a pretty healthy crowd going off that but of footage, I mean at the end of the day with the …
-
Great race the Nullarbor, looked like a nice crowd on the grass at least , I think moving the race to that time slot may have worked in regards to drawing a bigger crowd on course
-
Good on rwwa and gp for using a bit of initiative and at least trying to take advantage of the bumper crowd over at the football and attempting to draw more eyes to what should be a ripper of a race
-
Horse seems to have turned a bit of a corner driven cold for luck
-
Too many one line "reactors" and trolls who contribute nothing but one line responses, at least on Harness threads. I pop in for a read every now and then but have pretty much given up posting after making what I think have been very substantial con…
-
So in reference to turnover figures oncourse mobile, is that only referring to using tabtouch ??? If so to not include all figures from the all corporates is a little misleading
-
Interesting figures out of the Nutrien Yearling sale in Queensland only 51 sold out of a possible 91 or 54.95% seems to be a lack of confidence in harness racing in Queensland. yep turnover figures would show they are completely in the duldrums....…

You may need to google the meaning of integrity. ohhhhh I definitely know the meaning of integrity I like to hold myself to the highest standards of integrity, can you say the same?
-
In the grand scheme of things does it really matter who the owners are ?? And whether or not gp chose to promote it or not ?? Gp and some of the other tracks I think do a great job promoting the winners of the majority of there races , I think there…

Spot on frog seemed really flat , had no excuses really got things it's own way out in front
-
We were constantly told about how good the hwoe system was and how well it was apparently doing, this will be no different the proof will be when turnover figures are shown after a sustained period of time, propaganda = non sense
-
Well just like rwwa using statistics and the media to pump up the HWOE system updates without a substantial amount of data are really meaningless at this point of time
-
1 months figures isn't enough of a sample size either side of the argument you may sit on , let's see turnover figures in a year's time before we pass judgement
-
After Busso and Albany the GP Friday nights fields may look like this for some time. Hasn't been many new horses from the East or NZ lately. Sign of the time with prize money talks.

No Integrity No Industry, i don't remember the incident but happy the appropriate punishment was handed out' Hopefully the stewards will punish the participants the turn up grubby. yea didn't paint the industry in a good professional light I mean p…

As we all know opinions are worthless without facts i think the facts of the situation are pretty well known and the stewards handed out an appropriate punishment
