  • Well said fellas, I agree with all of the above. The only thing I will add was the great season Dylan Egerton-Green has had in the sulky winning multiple Group 1's and he was also responsible for my personal pick for "drive of the year" on Tyler Bre…
  • I think Narembeen Bill ended up sharing his medal with Buzz Parkinson after they made a retrospective decision to get rid of the countback system and award two medals if there was a tie. The great Bill Walker also went on to win the 1970 Sandover M…
  • Wow what a collapse by India today bowled out for a paltry 36 after taking a 53 run lead in the first innings.Cummins & Hazlewood bowled absolutely superbly.Hopefully day/night pink ball Tests become the norm into the future as it is a great spe…
  • Re the state of WA Trotting - handicapping - and basically everything - alot of important issues If i was a  WA Trotting journalist ( and since Gino - who was brilliant - left the West Australian - there hasnt been a high powered Trotting journalist…
  • Is Bryce Cotton considered a West Aussie now?
  • I have been hugely impressed about this pacer since watching his first run on a Tuesday at GP during the covid enforced spectator break from the track and finally got to see him run in the flesh on Friday night after watching all of his races in WA …

  • Thanks Chariots, I was just chasing the trots figures over the previous years as not really interested in the races numbers.
  • Out of interest Chariots how do those turnover figures on the Fremantle & WA Pacing Cups this year compare with previous years?
  • Was great to see the evergreen 13yo (14) Maximum Demand notch up another win (the 20th in his career plus 43 placings from his 237 starts) last night before his enforced retirement starts on the 1/1/21 and on the quick back up from racing the night …
  • Does anyone at the club ever wonder the facilities to hear that at least 50% of the venue has no audio?? The audio at GP has been an issue for a while Gil, as has the bell which sounds like it might need a little TLC as well.But nonetheless an enjoy…
  • What a great win to the Tin.Congrats to the Costello's and SJS on a great drive. A good crowd and atmosphere on course last night, hopefully moving forward there is a concerted effort from the club to push more nights like last at our great inner ci…

  • I think Vampiro can cross them from 4 to lead, Jack Farthing to take the sit behind the leader, Mighty Conqueror to the breeze, Chicago Bull to come around at some point to take that role, with Galactic Star in the moving line and To Fast To Serious…
  • When is the WA Pacing Cup barrier draw being done and is it available to view?
  • Historically driving to qualify in heats and not to win has been an integrity issue. Then you wouldnt also qualify for the final as only heat winners get in with maybe an exemption for the Nugget winner and one other discretionary selection!
  • FD from next year they should be bringing back heats for the Pacing Cup in my opinion, in and around Xmas/NY time with the WA Pacing Cup being run back in mid Jan and the Fremantle Cup back to a 2900m SS run after.Heats or Preludes just bring so muc…
  • I personally would have had Our Jimmy Johnstone and or Balcatherine in ahead of Convert Denario.Now we all wait for this morning's barrier draw with bated breath and hope for gods sake there are no more stuff ups again like last week for the Mares C…
  • Well done to Barry and Shellwood Chief, a well deserved and overdue maiden win.
  • JJ the way things are going at GPHR at the minute they may also need to borrow your car for the night as the mobile!
  • 2 complete farces within 3 weeks now!GP seemed to be the only place in that East Perth area without power?The lights on Matagarup Bridge, at Optus Stadium, at Trinity College, at the WACA, the apartments all around GP all seemed to be working fine? …

  • I dont think anywhere near the numbers of the past read the hard copy newspaper as they did before but maybe a lot of those now view it online?Currently in WA we have arguably the best pacer in the country (Chicago Bull) and one of the best dogs in …
  • Marko not a cent has been spent on GP in a decade or so not sure where you get your information from that "WA havent got any money because it is all tied up in that white elephant"?!I would be asking what has happened to and where has all of the mon…
  • FD wasnt the selling of Richmond Raceway supposed to be the panacea to all of the trots financial issues for centuries to come? Well only 29 years later some are now calling for the same of GP but it is so short sighted it is not funny.That area aro…
  • An idea from left field....Contact Fremantle Footy Club before the Freo Cup.....give them 1000 free passes (or even 2000) to offer to members.... Wear your dockers jumper of merchandise and two bucks off your first drink or a free 5 buck betting vou…

  • I suspect most of LBH's many winning drives over the years have been by leading or breezing.
  • RWWA are far too busy pumping up what is an ordinary Railway Stakes field to even notice the Fremantle Cup is on.As for GPHR probably in damage control after last weeks track fiasco!
