Busselton Boxing Day only 6 races and 42 horses. Numbers well down on recent years. Maybe JJ was right after all re the dwindling horse numbers in WA year on year due to the current handicapping system we have here?!

Brilliant caller Ritchie, think we take him for granted sometimes. Brings a lot of energy and a lot extra to his calls, gets some names wrong every now and then but no one is perfect He has his ups and downs like anyone does at his job but more …

Brady Anderson (EP) in 1997 was another Sandover Medal leak and subsequent successful betting plunge, this time though the leak came from WAFC HQ.

2LTW I was also there that night at GP your Great Uncle Vern won the Christmas Gift, it was New Years Eve 1985, I still have the racebook from that night 37 years later. He beat a field containing in barrier order- Lord Calvert (Warren Robinson)Arge…

Short changed by those stats on HRA....662 wins over 350 in Perth and considerably more than a million plus in prizemoney. Those stats are "post computer" figures and for anyone of a "mature" age are essentially not much value. It is a crying sham…

The more I look at the size of land that is left the more I feel this is just Belmont 2.0 I drive past Belmont Park everyday and just shake my head in disbelief at what a rabble it looks like now.God help us if GP ends up the same!

I think most would agree the AFL was a far more attractive competition to watch this season with a more attacking mindset from teams on moving the ball quickly forward (except the rabble that is WCE) after nearly a decade of lower scoring, scrum lik…

RIO it was reported (yes I know the media rarely have a clue these days) that Lobb had bought a pad in Inner City Melbourne somewhere either last year or earlier this year and his other half has been living in it, hence his haste to get to Melbourne…

A deal was done thanks to the WAFC who loaned WP $500k or so and guaranteed the WP players and staff were paid when they went into administration and WP were supposed to pay their creditors a paltry 4c in the dollar.....I am not actually sure they e…

Congrats JJ.

Probably because Swans only came in to the WAFL in 1934 whereas the likes of EF, SF, SU, PE, etc first seasons were in the 19th century.For as paltry as Swans 8 Premierships are we did give Perth and the others nearly 50 years head start!Also I am p…

Alcippes Delight great moment for me to be involved , that is my first metro win as a owner , pretty chuffed. Congratulations Mike.

Yes, cheers Marko, John Naglan slipped by. List is taking shape for around that era. Still think keith Nixon may have fielded at big nights but may be mistaken. And some others mentioned probably before Jack, more likely mid 70's to mid 80's when I …

After much digging just found a few of my old race books from the 1980s (circa 1986/87 - 1987/88 seasons) and within them the Bookmakers Enclosure Ring listings for meetings at both GP & RR, most have been covered up above- W.MackR.BeavisR.Evans…

Oops looks like we have doubled up Mike probably posting at the same time.I wonder if the admins of PTT can combine the 2 topics into 1 for GP & Bunbury today/tonight?

Very sad news.Gee what a ride Bill and Willie went on in the 1980s & early 90s and were the recognisable face of the sport here in WA at that time.Of course Village Kid was a once in a generation champion but he trained many other top pacers as …
