Hi Pistolpete,you were unfortunate to be behind the barriers to witness this filly break her leg. I understand your point that the horse beside her went off and freaked this filly out and the rest is now history. However if correct procedure and p…

Why should Mr Ballantyne have to make the decision to either race his filly without a barrier blanket or have her withdrawn. He had followed the rules of racing, the fillies need for a barrier blanket had been approved, and she had raced in it previ…

Disgraceful is a very mild word for what happended to the Ballantynes filly on wednesday. The starter decides to make a gear change, wow. Tells the trainer he has drawn the short straw - well he was right on that note, the trainer and owners went ho…

Oh Rio, How I agree with you on this. The members of Perth Racing hear about it on the radio. When will the committe of Perth Racing realise that members are entitled to more than a free glass of champagne and some greasy " Horses Hooves," and a p…

The horse in the barrier next to him has not been highlighted as a "barrier rogue" just got fractious on the day. The horse and the connections were entitled to have their horse thoroughly vetted. Just bad luck for Barakey. But as I said earlier he…

Barakey has gone off in the gates in WA, and "as a superstar" has been allowed to load late when here. Does not get the same treatment in Melbourne has to load in order, it would have always been a concern for the trainer.

The cost of the fencing at ascot is closer to 260k, it is not finished yet, there will also be either a gate or chaqcain at the end of the carpark to stop the horses getting out of the carpark. Most trainers agreed with the fencing, as it will take…

The bloke rips people off without a conscience, owes a huge amount of money , and because he trains a couple of winners you guys think he is a home town hero. Some of the things that happened to some of the poor horses that were trained at ascot mak…

PB the money handed to Oliver was from a bet. It is not classified as a sling. If an owner hands a sling to a trainer with instructions for it to be given to the jockey for a winning ride, the trainer can be charged with stealing if he keeps it.

I personally think it was a good and strong decision by the chief steward to stand up to PR and make the change to the shaded parade ring, which is kinder on the horses, and strappers. The jockeys have overwhelmingly supported the move saying that t…

Rio, very sadly there is no money coming from Belmont Park to upgrade Ascot. If you go onto the RWWA and read the minutes from the trainers assoc over the last 12 months you will be able to see a shocking pattern, Perth Racing do not have any mone…

Yes Mailman, your comments today have been that of a very bad loser. Your comment about owners not paying and doing a Tinkler - it is not the jockeys that the owners pay it is the trainers. I hope for the hardworking trainers that you are not a rac…
-
Mailman, you are not the only person/punter on this site that speaks from a losing pocket. A. Hearn is still an apprentice with a 3 kg claim, you should be factoring that into your bet before you have one, instead of crying after the event. Plus I h…

Vorgtraffic, what a strange comment. Bagging for the sake of it?? Must be,

The trainers will be asking for some of the following at the meeting today I believe. No discretionary handicapping. Win on a sat you get four points, from 4th place backwards you drop a point. Trainers are not interested in the handicappers opinio…

Rio I cannot understand you bringing Roman Knows into the discussion. P Carbery was on as a jockey change because Pike is out - the horse was placed well in running and won. Hard to see a problem with that race
-
There has been an allegation that some of the earthworks have stopped because the contractors have not been paid, a bit scary if that is true. TRANSPERANCY is required re the Belmont development, members need to be informed, there is also some talk…

Diva , perhaps the 3000 racebooks for midweek is overs, but please do not focus on that, as previously stated the boxes of unused racebooks are removed after the race meeting, surely the extra money could be used on the guttering on the training st…
-
Of course there is absolutely no conflict of interest in the chairman of PR owning the company that prints the race books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yes there are boxes of race books left over after both midweek and Saturday race meetings. The pr…
-
Perhaps the new CEO started off well, but as with SO MANY before him, he may have been put in his place. Perhaps he asked if it was neccessary to print 3000 racebooks mid week when there are only 50 patrons and 75 security guards.

All owners are ok with the sale - just waiting on the money before scratching from tomorrow

Steve Wolfe has every right to say what ever he likes about the tote machines or anything else that will have an effect on his owners enjoyment of the races. If the CEO of Perth Racing made this comment, and cannot handle constructive comments on "…
