Who's lets elope, pretty good horse that's all I know.
I can tell by your actions that you're certainly not one of my friends or acquaintances as you have zero idea what you're talking about but good luck to you and feel free to spread your fantasy it's not the first time that's occurred on this sewer system and it certainly won't be the last, given the credibility of the likes of your good self or the lack thereof.
Anyway the people who know me, respect my ability and judgment and that's the only thing that matters to me, certainly not the opinion of some individuals on here, anyway wasted more than enough time on here dealing with certain "challenged" individuals and have better things to do.
Never admit he is wrong his ego is to big for that
Youknowit I never questioned your credibility (by the way what you said sounded distinctly like a threat which would be typical as the last refuge of anyone who can't mount a logical argument is to threaten, bully or attempt to intimidate, something I've come to expect from some on here) I did indeed however question your knowledge of me and in particular my betting activities particularly over the last eight years and you'll be waiting a long time anyway as I have zero interest in going to the local races and only go when I have to.
They've very successfully driven most punters away including myself and I now enjoy not being bothered or distracted by idiots in the bookies ring any more and people wanting to tip you things that you know can't win etc and generally disrupting your train of thought.
The only thing I miss is speaking to some of my industry contacts and friends at the races and watching the horses in the yard apart from that I couldn't care less if I ever went to the local races again but that doesn't mean I don't follow them and the form avidly, just that I have zero interest in attending Ascot or Belmont.
You should never turn on those in your own backyard.

That doesn't count for all the hard working industry people though as have plenty of time for them just not the usual little sewing circle know it all gossips many of whom frequent this vile excuse for a soapbox.
Andrew has stated many times that facts are paramount in any story or comment and when it was pointed out that his statement was incorrect he reverted to personal vitriol and it has gone down hill from there.
As a contributor to the "Toilet" I am not sure what the answer is.

Again have no idea if they think my money is "smart" or what kind of liability they were already holding but ia a pretty reasonable wind in, nearly half the price.
I'm sure that you'll have a grand old time if you do.
I never said I don't mistakes, everyone does, however the big difference is that I actually care if I do, especially if they're avoidable, I am diligent and conscientious and it annoys the hell out of me if I make an avoidable error and sadly these occur far too often in the media today.
It's called being passionate and actually giving a you know what about my work and striving to maintain a consistently high standard and you certainly can't say, that there are too many others around here who exhibit the same tendencies, given the litany of factual errors that occur elsewhere.
I have had years and years of people trying to put me down and actively hinder my career which stretches back over many, many, years well before the bullshit that was espoused about me and while I'm not good at too many other things I am a good journalist and a good writer. So yes I justifiably take great pride in that and have an unshakeable belief in my ability in that area.
With the benefit of the editorial guidance that I should have had many, many, years ago I would have been even better by now but thankfully I now have that and as result am improving all the time and learning valuable new skills as you can never stop learning.
I make no apology whatsoever for being opinionated, passionate and actually caring about things and I also make no apology for standing up for myself to the outright lies and misrepresentations that I am continually subjected to on here, again if some of you don't like it, you can go jump in a lake.
Fortunately I work for an organisation where you're judged on your merit, on your work standards and your work ethic, not the bile spewed forth by the likes of those that frequent this pathetic little soapbox who have nothing better to do.
Like I said I really couldn't care less what you lot think, I have had to fight tooth and nail for everything that I've ever got and have lost many years of my life purely because people can't handle someone who writes the truth and speaks the truth about the industry hierarchy and won't cop their propaganda and who will write positively about people, if it's justified, that those in charge may not like or approve of,
It's called being unbias and is what a good journalist is supposed to do, it occurs in most places other than the closed scene here in Perth where you are frequently censured, harassed and worse for having the temerity to do your job properly and exercise journalistic integrity and it's the duty of every journalist to strive to achieve those lofty goals.
So yeah I don't put with crap from anyone any longer and if you lot don't like it, well too damn bad.
Must have a struck a nerve eh Lincoln, kyle a mate is he, anyway I would hardly classify G J as a mate, although I would be proud to do so if that was the case.
I certainly don't hang out with him and I don't have very much to do with him at all other than be supportive of his training efforts and have tried to assist him with building up his stable through some of my contacts because he certainly deserved the opportunity.
Anyway I admire people such as him who have worked their arse off to turn their lives around big time and are fulfilling their talent and he has done exactly that.
For anyone to argue otherwise, well all I can say is that they have a very perverse and twisted preconceived view of life.
I also admire people who are upfront and loyal and he has both of those qualities in spades, which is far more than I can say for some people I knew in the industry who knew me a lot better but were only too happy to believe the vile rubbish that was spewed forth and still are.
Worked to the front, took a while to do so. Was headed by Lucky Diva at the start of the last bend but kicked back strongly rounding the bend to reclaim the lead and ultimately the victory.
Was a very good drive, strong win but this was the class and draw to suit the horse, everything in its favour tonight.
