PC - got to agree with you - debate it as long as you like on merit of the strength of that race, but surely ROGAN JOSH as a winner of Australia's greatest race, which was owned and from this state, deserves an accolade - but then so too would BL…

now hang on you guys ... But Falcon - it is not a One off - it happened before this season and a proper All Weather would permit racing under the present level of rain.The problem is that Belmont has had no major works performed for several decades …

Great effort by a great rider but can't doesn't come close to being compared to Frankie's Magnificent Seven - actually there were 9 races on the program ( with one restricted to claiming riders) .

Im not one to complain about jockeys, but Kyra Yuill, you are sacked forever :-w ....for the last year K Yuill has been the best "Fav Knock" and "exchange lay value" rider, when riding short priced horses or favs. - outside of one day at Mt Barker…

Well done to Dan Ganderton with the win on So Symbolic...winning is the best way to shut up the doubters. :-bd ...wrong principle - Ride as many winners as he wants - but his attitude and character will remain the same - we're not Doubters - we're …

Could it be Ron's Call day today? Going to be ridden back today and hopefully flies home and would be hard to catch. What was Knuckey doing ?? Gee he is riding poorly at the moment IMHO ~X( the stable backs the stablemate - it is up running se…

Can you believe that it took only 2 weeks ( with 3 racedays) to reduce 230+ tipster to 1 ( ps. well done Ne'r's'rse) .....no wonder corporate bookmaking is a high profit business.
