This thing was grey - maybe not a stayer, middle distance maybe - but definitely grey. I seem to remember Craigie Boy, was there a Craigie Lass - dunno, long time ago. We had a nice time with teh Mueller stable - Sunny Twilight, Scornvale etc. He wa…

Thank you for that Damien - that explains the principle. I misread you initial post - thinking that RWWA actually directly funded the $60k ( through another mechanism) for each of the two 2 year old races this Sat. ta

Last year's Herbert winner Shawardi - wasn't able to secure a run in the MC !

Scurra McKee - Silver Ring, leger Belmont and Ascot used to throw your winning at you unless you wanted to back a drifter in the next!

Damien - my question was actually whethe it is RWWA or PR which is funding the $60k for each race, as you made comment that .....it was generous of RWWA to stump up $60k for both.

I think it is generous of RWWA to stump up $60,000 for both. is RWWA putting up the $60K per race for these races, Damien?

...good move but sad that it only came about as a 'reaction' rather than as a preventative.

The "shame" does not relate to comment of Hard Ball Gets ability or price or future chances - the 'shame' relates to the fact that in assessing its form for this race, the scribe chose to 'labelled' WA in the manner that he did. The performance was …

Western Australia, a racing jurisdiction that, nevertheless, is not recognized of significant class or depth.... it is a fair comment under the present circumstances, we are not Recognised for class and depth - but we still produce some national ch…

Rather read bondys tips than your comments :-q fair enough - but unlike Bondyjnr's tips - you won't go broke following my comments !
-
Good for u mateIts a forum and last time I checked ur free to post what u want, tips included. ..fair call, and so true too . I simply thought it would be a good idea if you quit posting - given your success rate.

The comment is harsh and unwarranted, new stable being worked differently etc etc so you're not entitled to do something different with it, that's rubbish and you know it. ..doesn't get past the impression that it was there for the one they backe…
-
Bond' - difference is - most don't post our "hard worked out " tips.
-
will find this a lot tougher than beating a field of 4 with 2 stablemates
-
Rac think you might want to amend that comment somewhat, the horse was having only its second start for their stable and it failed to go a yard on the very wet track first up. ...no amendment needed - the horse has never led - fact of life.

I'll tell you a little secret. If you see Staeck get on one of Kellie's for the first time - or first time in a while, get on. If you see Staeck get on one of Kellie's for the first time and it has had numerous jockey changes over it's previous 5 ru…

im sure they will too mate :) Bondyjnr - after yesterday's dismal tipping performance I thought you would put your cue away - although your best bet got home - even if $1.60 the win is hardly a best bet value !MY tip : - Cue in the rack - ol' cock!

impossible day -

Bondyjnr - can you possibly get enough on OUTLAW BLUES to get out ? Academic exercise - I suppose.

im calling it early 'our emily mia' for winterbottom ;) win & a nod, only danger today, but pretty confident on this one of durrant's. ...wow big call alright - would have to improve and find a way to stretch to 1200 metres.

Perth Racing give up all input into race programming .......RWWA becomes soley responsible for this. are you kidding - RWWA ARE in charge of programming given that they must approve each club's program. They are doing a poor job. RWWA has had one…

...wow, is this thread hard to follow? Can anybody else decipher it ? OMG

The basic fundamental change has to be that the administrators of racing MUST MUST MUST understand gambling. They cannot hire anyone without a deep understanding of gambling. The whole racing game is based on gambling and the ignorance of it amon…

Methinks - the Texan/ MissFunofits deaths and the pre race issue around Mr M in melb will cost PR this year - negative press unfortunately weighs more than good press !
-
but RIO - we can't get One good committee or 8 good committeemen now - how will we get 2 with 16 ?
-
...I remember reading last winter that RWWA was putting aside $2m for the promotion of " county cups " especially Broome, Kal and Northam ( possibly others or more ) . Did this actually occur and if it did - where were the promotions ?
-
I agree with the majority of posters and their post comments - but "How will it change" - if those at the top of - either RGL , RWWA or PR will not move to change the status quo ?It seems to me that the current Racing Minister is silent ( I will sto…

How do you blame volunteers on the commitee? what about the paid CEO what is his name? what has he achieved so far? bad form to knock volunteers in my book. ....easy, nobody twisted their arm to stand for election - you voluntarily take the s…
