Precision1 I think I can assist with you query about pre race and post race/post mortem.Pre race blood tests in racehorses are Only to detect Bi-Carb levels, So Ritalin wouldn't be tested pre race... Pre race blood tests do detect other irregularit…

It is and as far as I know always has been 52.5kg. It is in print as of 18-11-25. What I can't work out is how she seems to have ridden London Rose at 51kg on 8-11-25 and Maximium Impact at 51.5kg on 12-11-25. She won on Exquisite Taste on 25-10-25 …

What an absolute champion this bloke is. Any average kid that had to go through what he did as an apprentice would have given the game away.Well done, Austin you deserve all the success in front of you.

OMG....I cannot stomach listening to Scott Cummings and Giggling Tim Gossage on my drive to work every morning. They are two days in to this timeslot and I have officially turned off. Great opportunity for 6PR to get hold of some of the now ex TAB r…

It does look like the long-term industry families are doing their best to keep the racing industry afloat. The sale of TAB radio is another nail in its coffin. How the government can support the loss of jobs and history that is leaving with their d…

Leading trainer and board member P. Fernie No doubt between himself and his owners they brought many tickets.

Someone from RWWA is meant to scan the microchip, just before the horse leaves the stall to go to the pre - parade or parade ring. Either this wasnt done or it wasnt correctly checked against the horses brand. Thats not quite right.The horse's micr…

I was in Darwin the day of the Fine Cotton affair and witnessed the money that went on there. On the same day I had the biggest collect I ever had on a local race. We backed a horse in from 20/1 to 4 or 5/1. I think Murry Leader was the bookmaker I …

The bloke with the two sheilas wouldn't be Falcon would it?? Or Rio? Or Diva's dad? In the last photo of the bookies ring, the surname of the bookie under the green umbrella is Nixon. Anyone know who he was, what happened to him and is he still a…

It's definitely going to make doing form and racing in general a bit more interesting. Play Dice and Diesel N Dirt at long odds look good to me.

She has been admonished. I would want to do a bit more than that if it was mine. surely has to be some avenue open to the owners .its not theres or the trainers or jockeys fault There were two so called "stewards" on the day neither of them can ge…

New procedure will come out, more then likely, Alot of theses meetings Predominantly have jockey coaches whose job is to guide the inexperienced ones. (Apprentices). The Apprentice was informed by Clerk of scales she was too heavy a adjustme…

Cheers. I have a mate getting one trained in Tassie. Very cheap in comparison and racing for the same prizemoney as Kal/Gero etc. I was hoping to get him to send it to W.A but at those prices it'll be a hard no. Rodent As an owner, if a trainer was …

The Rule is ****, If the rider is competent , that's all that matters I can understand the Senior riders wanting to protect their incomes, if that is really the case. But both jockey coaches rode winners in town on a Saturday as 3kg claiming app…

So on another note today the stewards took it upon themselves to let an apprentice ride in a metropolitan Saturday race that had not completed his 20 provincial A wins. Z Johnston porter.They just seem to make the rules to suit themselves. What’s th…

They can ride against Pike etc on a Wednesday but not on the Saturday at the same race course hard to work out Austin Galati was an allowed a ride in town on a Saturday the day he came out of his apprenticeship he was nominated to ride in the winter…

Can someone tell me if it is the norm for stewards to allow a horse to arrive on the racecourse half a hour before the race I always thought it was a hour and 2hrs if it was a feature race. My facts could be wrong though. You are correct. Strictly a…

ARC been very poorly managed for the last four years. Totally incompetent Board, and as for the so-called manager Bayliss, he's a self confessed fraudster. And RWWA turn a blind eye to Bayliss and his antics. It's like another wonder of the world…

The last race at Carnarvon was won by Protected Action at $41. The horse is trained by L Murray who was probably unlucky not to get a double as he had the favourite in an earlier abandoned race. Correct me if I am wrong but he hasn't trained for an …

think he copped a suspension, rodent. Must have been a lengthy one. Got a month for having a drink of water while waiting to be reweighed after a race.
