They brought at least one I say today so they must be half confident to keep buying. Do you think it would look bad if they brought none? How many did they buy, day 1 last year? 2025 3 Lots for $490,000 2024 3 Lots for $365,000 2023 7 Lots for $…

It would take a fair amount of the drug Ritalin in a 450kg to 500kg horse's bloodstream to result in a positive swab. Far more than could be transferred from just touching a horses bridle or head region. The levels the stewards are sitting on would …

Ernie Manning's story in The West the other day has Grant Williams attributing blame to Kalgoorlie barrier attendant. Anyone who thinks this drug got into the horse's bloodstream from the barrier staff, I've got a lovely big bridge to sell you.

Media personalities should also learn to shut up when they have no legal standing in a matter and calling into disrepute the application of the Rules of Racing, whether you like them or not they are the rules. Rules need to be seen to be applied fai…

Williams has form for getting staff to take the rap for him. Be interesting to see if they cone up with the same excuse & if the stewards fall for it ????

Got off light??

John Davison Snr was an extremely accomplished trainer and horseman.Ngawyni, Haulpak, Starglow to name a few.He was also a very well educated and intelligent man who was liked and respected by many, had a good turn out for his service at The Como ye…

If they do, does it do any harm, talking up the numbers a little? It might bother you but I doubt that it bothers many others. If anything it is potentially only going to help the numbers for the remaining weeks of the Pinnacles because other peopl…

This might give a few more victims the confidence to come out of the woodwork

This is the tip of the iceberg in racing, sexist behaviour has been rampant for years.Might be a few racing men worried about more victims coming out of the woodwork now.

Shame for Harro, didn't think he did much wrong with the filly.It's just the way she is maybe?
-
It's amazing they are racing on the Belmont track given the amount of rain we've had recently.
-
Fully agree with the comments here about the awful state of public and member facilities at Belmont Park. The persons/committee at Perth Racing responsible for the state of the place should hang their head in shame. RWWA or the WA government sure…

No Flanders it's not a new rule, it's been that way for ages. I find the whip rule strange as you can hit a horse 5 times before the 100m and then unlimited times over the last 100m. (Hypothetically could be another 15 or 20 and that's deemed fine) …
-
He didn't go over Flanders.The rule is they're allowed more than 5 before the 100 so long as don't exceed 15 in total.

RWWA released their vaccination mandate policy yesterday. When you read the detail of the rules, unvaxxed trainers will have licence suspended and won't be able to live at training property/premises. This will make things interesting/difficult for s…

The Muppet show, embarrassing, Willie should have just , he says kept quiet, says it no ones business (which it isnt) so keep it private I would have thought My understanding Turner and Whiting had only had the 1 jab I'm not the smartest bloke but w…

I was refraining on commenting re Pikey's anti-vax stance as I heard he was being coerced by others in his family (wifey) who are have been openly anti-vax for many years before Covid came along. After watching the most biased and bizarre interview…
-
Its over and has been for a while. Being announced after the KT Yep, as I've been saying, some retirements to be announced soon as some refusing to be vaccinated for Covid.Some are being pressured also to not be vaccinated by partners etc so intere…
-
Yes I hear that Pikey is the one. Another, more experienced jockey is also one, and he is very much against it. Is the other one currently riding?
-
There's going to be some high profile retirements from the riding and training ranks in the next month or so when racing participants need to be vaccinated for Covid19Will be interesting times.
-
Compulsory vaccination issues maybe coming up if they wont get vaxxedSame for jockeys toointeresting times ahead
-
Just read HOTT in todays paper , not good Jesus, talk about dodgy...horses, pet food business, drug dealing, bloody hell.... Its suprising that RWWA allowed the transfer of all the horses etc to the daughter under the circumstances.Doesn't the son …

Serheed wasn’t much chop either Ridiculous comment. Serheed was champion WA stallion 5 times with no more than 60 mares covered in each of those years. Was a great sire of WA stayers and had multiple group horses
-
The last time I looked Waller, Hayes and Weir were pretty big buyers at their local yearling sales. Also they have owners and breeders who use their local stallions and support their local breeding industry. They are not parasites in their respectiv…
-
so you’re happy to sink me, and others like me, just to get at bob. Who you really hurting more there ? You can’t breed just WA every year - we don’t have the industry size / gene pool for it. Would collapse upon itself. That's why there need…

From what i see Bob Peters contributes very little to the WA racing industry. He generates income for himself and spends the bulk of it in the NSW Hunter Valley. In years gone by he bred to some WA stallions such as Old Spice and kept some of the m…
