Thanks Dale - that was my part answer also - but given that it was initially suggested that time will tell if he makes a change - I thought it appropriate ( on the eve of Elections) to re visit and see what other posters thoughts were. I have state…

OK Judgment Time - ( Diva said 3 months was too early to judge ) so how is it after 6 months. plenty said - "great appointment" " good for committeeman" " young blood /enthusiasm"...but has he achieved anything, contributed anything to the better…

RIO - ya' read it wrong - the "pretty poor form" related to Damian W having a shot - all in favour of clubs doing what they do best at their level - heard it was a magic day ... and Sky looked like a great ride by cup winning jockey and a couple of…

Can Racing get any weaker than this ? ..pretty poor form - given that they are trying pretty hard up there and a positive light in an otherwise dark month ...seems to me that they have done pretty well too with filed sizes and trainer/rider attendan…

And today (Toodyay meet I know but its at northam) nah it is Toodyay at Toodyay but under name of Northam ??? why - all the RWWA references are to Northam yet the betting sites have Toodyay - if Toodyay is a CLUB and is approved to race on - why ca…

...got to agree P' Box - that was a shamozzle - we all understand issues of safety but please - why send the jock to the start when the horse is a scratching get back the clerks of course that can do the job not let a horse bolt alongside them why…

....hey you guys - you were promoting the #1 Docker player and now PR committeeman, as the "fixer of all things broken " - seems to me that besides having done nothing since he got there - has joined the throng of non performers which permeate RWWA …

PS - and we need a Strathair track like Monee valley's over here !

fast finishing 4th on a track that may not suit...keep on going or bring him back???? I'd be tempted to keep him over, but he wont get any easier fields that that... :-? ..fast finishing -? struggled under the 59 and won't beat good ones with 5…

fair point Trooper - no excuse for lack of attention - I apologise for any hurt caused and vow to check before making spurious noises again.

...didn't realise that RWWA was permitted to "plea bargain"
-
Good points Mr Magoo - and agree with the fact that riders can use the whip as forcefully in the backhand as otherwise - which is a vagary of the rule. but whether we like a rule or not, really doesn't count - we are entitled to have All the rules …

I was on, the horse jumped too well and left him with no option but to roll forward. It was having it first start for sometime and stepping up to 1600m. what was staeck supposed to do strangle it and sit out there like a bag of **** like the other i…

Either the whip rule has changed or Alex Hearn (2nd in race 8 today on Grand Palace) is going to be much lighter in the pocket. Pretty high action over the concluding stages!! ...agree but if you want to see ONE - have a look at the second winner Ka…

...just another case of A Carter - highjacking and misdirecting a good thread - to the extent that posters shy away! actually I have spotted some beaut spelling mistakes for the said "journalist" !
-
he won't brush D Whyte aside so easily !!!!

OH dear - I get so mad - why are they saying all this now ? so what if the steward will now accompany the curator at 6.30am - they both were there at 7.30am on Saturday and still took them til 12.30pm to cancel after only 3mm additional rain.Didn't …

So true about CS. Absolutely did my head in. Glad she is off air. ...yeah - agree - not sure we need to be continually reminded of the mummy and daddy of an 8 yo, restricted rating horse and that it has a half sister coming up at the Tamworth Cheap…

...at least this thread has allowed me to work out The site Moderator's sympathies and allegiances - if it had contained any criticism of an investigator or a steward it would have been CLOSED - but vitriolic comment related to board, committee or …

that is where it s meant to be..but nothing..This problem is a club problem...and people at the club need to be held accountable for it ..but surely either the Club or the RWWA people have to let the public - us ! know what happened and the process…
-
is there someplace were RWWA does a press release, statement or something related to what actually happened to cause the cancellation - i can't find anything on the RWWA website.
-
Same issue with shifting ground. Problem has been addressed in a cost cutting exercise and these meetings lost are the result. Staff are filthy.IS IT SAME SECTION AS LAST WEEK?

...What was the reason that it was called off?
-
or part Falcon part pony ? The Hippogriff was trained by the kiwi Gary martin

Hey RIO if you are confused re legalities in stewards rooms - try reading the press release about CLINT HARVEY in another thread - reckon RWWA is like an ol' dog i had - kept chasing his own tail - one day he disappeared - never did work out he did…
-
the last thing we need is for legalities to come in to the stewards room... bit late for that RIO - the Appeal tribunal has ensured that "legalities " are firmly in the stewards room and have been so ever since its inception.

Tomorrow I can release some behind the scenes photography of the new TAB commercial, which Jockey assisted in shooting a few weeks ago. Been waiting awhile by agreement to publish. just checked out your "behind the scene" shots - great captures - e…
