Just watched the race yet again and did a little research which confirmed my own initial thoughts, for starters they were just a tick under two seconds outside the track record on a good 2 track and ran more than a second slower than Maliaka recorde…

Maybe it even came from the daily newspaper who was led up a costly garden path by the Turf club and other industry figures. The relationship between the Turf club and the West is nowhere near as cosy as it used to be because of this.

First of all I never said it was ridiculous for punters to question the manners in which races were run I merely expressed how damaging false allegations can be to the person who has them levelled against them and that there is a serious litmus test…

Who knows maybe a club employee with a conscience?

Damien you of all people should understand if a person is a member of the club and they're revealing information such as this why they would be reluctant to reveal their identity. Given some of the stuff that has occured under this regime it's not d…

I would also suggest that quite logically he or she as a member of the club didn't wish to end up facing the same sort of sanctions as Damien did for having the audacity to express a dissenting opinion and for having the integrity to expose the trut…

I didn't have anything to do with it other than it was passed onto me and I chose to post it on here because it reveals a number of interesting facts and illustrates in my opinion our imperious leaders ability to speak with a forked tongue and how …

Carey I have have made no secret of who I am from people who have personally contacted me but for reasons which I am not about to elaborate on here I have no intention of revealing publicly who I am at present but may do so in the not distant future…

Fine Wllson lets talk credibility and ethics. Van Heemst and his clique have zero credibility with any person who has any regard for the future welfare of the industry and they have very few ethics if any. First of all they have Buckley's chance o…

Again I was illustrating the damage that unsubstantiated crap can cause to people lives and livelihoods. And yes I would I would be concerned if I were you and Daniel Staeck, Kellie Kersley or Mark Reed read those comments because you have inferr…

I've yet to stumble across any thinking person with any semblance of business knowledge who considers it "normal for the auditors of your business to question its future as a viable ongoing concern.

I wouldnt have thought so I think you'll find he was decidely unpopular there when he left abruptly.

Jones I was illustrating a point that totally unsubstantiated crap by people hiding behind the anonymity of forums does not give them the right to just take potshots at people and can cause untold damage to a persons personal and professional reput…

A number of members are obviously concerned about the chairmans actions and his called facts. Below is their response to his propaganda and spin. From I AM A PERTH RACING MEMBER Date 4 October 2011 42924 PM ACDT To Subject Important Notice - WAT…

Left extremely hastily some time ago now, enough said.

An interesting email sent out refuting Van Heemst's so called "facts" From I AM A PERTH RACING MEMBER Date 4 October 2011 42924 PM ACDT To Subject Important Notice - WATC MEMBERS Dear Member As a long standing member I am concerned with the Cha…

Should be made very very soon in the West.

Mate you're the embarrassment, Bad workers blame their tools or in this case bad punters blame the jockeys. Explain then how if Offer Me jewels was so advantaged by such a fast pace, how its ears was being ridden off by Turner coming to the cor…

Possibly the very future of club is at stake here and members need to take this ballot seriously and break the status quo. Should they fail to take this opportunity to oust the members of Van Heemst's clique that are up for re election then the clu…

I imagine Gangemi would be a likely strong candidate for Chairman, he's a very astute businessman, therefore he has the required business acumen and is a knowledgeable racing person, he understands what punters needs are and their importance to the …

The order to vote should you wish to break Van Heemst's clique stranglehold is 2 Daws 4 Gannon 6 Wright 7 Miorada

Anyone with half a brain realises they have virtually nil chance of getting the required environmental approvals for this development to proceed,(no matter what amount of spin and propaganda the club continues to spew forth) the developers are plann…
-
The candidates that are not part of the current Van Heemst clique who are puppets and go on along with everythings he says. Peter Gangemi is not up for election but has been attempting to bring about fundamental change in the manner and accountabi…

First of all lets get a couple of things straight about Ted "l've completely lost the plot" Van Heemst's so called facts. Fact 1 The money that has been used from monies held in trust to partially reduce some of the club's debt is money that is re…

Ace V the stewards were aware he was assisting his father and doing the majority of the training they were unable to grant him an official licence at that stage due to his young age, so stop being a smart arse. It is part of my job to remember these…

gained special dispensation to begin driving at 14 years ogfage and drove a winner with his very first race drive at a Northam harness meeting it was a horse he also trained even though it was in his fathers name. I think he drove a double at that m…

Reed is in his early 30's he drove Nebulizer into a luckless and close 2nd behind Our Sir Vancelot in the 1998 WA Pacing cup as a 16 or 17 year-old junior driver. I'm almost certain he was 17 at the time but definitely no older. So he's definitely i…

Anyone would think one young trainer hadn't just won his second Kalgoorlie Cup out of just three attempts, but why give credit where credit is due after all it's only a race many WA trainers strive their whole career to win. Talk about overlooking …

Simon (IGA) Miller everything's a special. Best and most appropriate nickname ever.

That statement about Fred and Northerly is absolutely ridiculous, I dont mind Dodger but seriously can you even name the last winner he trained.
