The penalty for presenting horses with illegal levels of cobalt will be interesting. I am not sure that being cleared of deliberate administration will save him completely. After all how many of those that have been disqualified have been found …

That would be RWWAs problem. Policy was changed in the early days of RWWA when Greg Carpenter was Racing Manager to expedite stakes payments to owners below a certain threshold. I am pretty sure that owners would have appreciated the millions of dol…

Not defending corporate bookmakers in any way Damien but your statement regarding nil contribution is incorrect. They are required to pay a levy on turnover on WA product under Race Fields Legislation which eventually finds its way to RWWA. The sam…

Depending on who the buyer is there may be some concern of money currently going through the WA TAB being shifted to the home state of the purchaser. eg. if TABCORP were the buyer it would be difficult to stop them from shifting internet turnover to…

WA product does have value but no where near enough to go even close to covering the stake money allocated through distribution.

I listened to Michael Grant this morning and I am really no wiser as to what conditions would be acceptable for a sale to proceed. Rio being and advocate of selling are you be prepared to enunciate the conditions under which you think a sale should …

It`s a funny one. Previous owners happy, new owners happy. Without the HK connection (and commission paid) the sale doesn`t happen. How many tried horse purchasers have asked the opinion of a jockey (and passed on a sling)? Unless there is m…

Often find the biggest drawback is that he's so eager to spill out his opinion on the horse / race / result, that he inevitably talks over the top of every single guest that appears. Otherwise, do enjoy the show - it would be a tough gig, so if any…

And the seabreeze comes in at 11am. Current temp at Hillarys is 26 :)) Last time I looked Ascot Racecourse was not located at Hillarys.

The other issue here is if an individual with a grievance against an owner deliberately administers a prohibited substance to a horse with revenge in mind. That is one of the reasons why the rules now provide for presenting a horse drug free rather …

Carey's data does not lie Legless but for some reason you prefer your perception to reality where Lucy is concerned,

Octavius went to the same University as James Hird to get his Science Degree, "Bachelor of Denial".

Essendon will probably need another 12 taggers to get through the season with a percentage above 50%.

Please Hash, CCR and John Fogarty, Woodstock 1969.

Birds of Tokyo have played at an AFL Grand Final so that is an indication of their popularity and exposure. Someone of my vintage would prefer a CCR revisited but those under 60 would not know what I am talking about.

That system was tried and true before the internationals started coming in large numbers and chose different lead up races to the Cup. Had a vey high success rate through the 80s and 90s.

It is 2015 Falc not 1975. I think you will find any CEO of a company of commensurate size would be on that or more.
-
There is a split screen video that compares the Belmont Stakes win of 1973 by Secretariat against the same race won by American Pharoah in 2015 and there would have been no contest with Secretariat winning easily.
-
More of a collective number of wins on one day 1st December 2007 and one trainer had four winners on the day with SPs of $13, $14, $20 and $21. Should never say never but I don't think that will be happening again.
-
Surprisingly no criticism of the Flemington track and an obvious fast lane. ES media giving the track a nice bagging saying it was substandard given the quality of horses using it.
-
Hi Falc Where did you see a copy of the RWWA Annual Report 2015?I don't think they would have made anywhere near that amount. Maybe the decimal place in the wrong spot !! I would suggest that would be the profit before distribution to the codes.

He could also be used by RWWA as a Consultant on how to control drugs in the Racing industry.

He's upset a lot of people. Could have come from a number of suspects. People don't shoot up your house if you are clean as a whistle, just saying...... Where there is smoke there is fire. So you are suggesting that because a criminal shoots up Bai…

Rio, final result was inexcusable, as simple as that. The problem is that when people whinge all the time their is a tendency to switch off, or simply ask when are you running for the Committee.

Interesting to see that Patrick Bartley Chief Racing Writer for the Melbourne Age was initially barred from attending the Caulfield Cup over derogatory articles he wrote about the state of the Caulfield track. This was later rescinded when the Melbo…

Almost as bad TABtouch tweeting Greg Hooper's tips for the last two races two hours after the abandonment.

Many bagged Geoff Murphy but this would not have happened under his watch

Even I am speechless.

I can't believe that RWWA and Perth Racing haven't seen the light and handed over the running of the racing industry to the collective geniuses on this forum. The streets of Ascot would be paved in gold in no time. ^:)^
