The best three runs in the “race” were Brewery Lane, Bobby Waterhouse and Dats Lovely. They ran 1,2 3 or 4th never got the result of photo for third. Race should have been abandoned but going back to 80’s and 90’s been on track and seen a lot wo…

Had the trifecta for a lousy 8% but was going to be a big one!! No problems with calling the race off…but that should have been about 30 mins earlier when the catcher had to come onto the track. Even at the completion of the event - another 25 m…

There’s been some interesting jockeys comments over the years too - Damian Lane after copping terrible interference in Sydney words to the effect of - I’m pleased to come back here alive. A funny anecdote read was a jockey in SA when asked what th…

No comment approach - no problem. Paul Harvey when riding was the same. That’s fine. Very much enjoy hearing what the hoops and/or trainers have to say, and if it’s no comment that’s all good too. Ryan Moore the same - more often than not “no comm…

She did too. No wonder the other jockey up there took a peek to the right, let the one on his outside know, and pass it down the line and fast!! Health and Safety first - blow the rest as how it should be. They had every right to pull there mount…

My goodness.

I’ve backed just a couple today Ocean Goddess in race 4, Jackpot Bingo looks the big danger again. Searchin Times e/w race 6.

As long as don’t start off with a comment of ..”back in my day” 8-| Then again let’s face it the racing, trotting, music, cars, movies, football, cricket, people, how about everything was better… back …..don’t say it….

Hahaha yes. Was out the front today mowing the lawn had a break and a chat to the neighbour started off talking about state of origin football finished up waffling on about crab pots - how we got to there don’t know, but in real life conversation…

Can remember my mum bless her soul saying how when she was a kid loved the movie National Velvet then as the years and decades went by said how silly she felt for that because as fantastic to see happen said it was ridiculous and a nonsense of a gir…

Do read some press that says Clare Lindop was the first female jockey to ride in the Melbourne Cup I thought the same but don’t think they went back far enough and it was Maree Lyndon. Finally the penny has dropped - Lindop was the first AUSTRALIA…

Hope haven’t missed anyone here… Adelaide Cup - Clare Lindop and Rochelle Milnes Perth Cup - Kyra Yuill and Lucy Fiore Sydney Cup - Rachel King Melbourne Cup - Michele Payne and Jamie Melham. Caulfield Cup - Jamie Melham Brisbane Cup - Ye…

This would’ve been a good long range bet - righto it’s 1979 and racing dominated by male hoops especially in Group racing. Took ages for a female to get a ride in some of these Group races let alone win one. 25/3/1979 - Dear Ladbrokes I’d like the…
-
Some of those long range ( almost ridiculous bets ) have come off, Ladbrokes in the past were renowned for accepting them not just racing and sport -things like the odds of finding aliens on mars! Another thought of at the time was Steffi Graf and…

Recall 15+ years ago Damian Lane rode 4 or 5 winners at Bunbury on Melbourne Cup day was one of the best riding exhibitions ever seen because every win was a peach of ride. No surprise to see him riding Group 1 winners in Japan with huge crowd num…

I’d say about 97% of excessive whip protests are dismissed. 3% approximately been upheld. The reason dismissed because can’t say for certain would’ve made any difference to the result. So the 3% upheld did make a difference ? Unsure how that’s w…

A punter over east who did lose substantial money on live in play sports betting, someone told him you’re not allowed to bet online during live play. He called foul and that got the ball rolling. Hard to believe happening just once and being fi…

Definitely can’t place a live bet online hence why Tabcorp fined $158,400 for letting it occur. As far as know can still place a live sports bet at the TAB or via the phone. Think reason can’t do it online perhaps to do with Gambling Responsibly - …

The hoops say for the unruly types the “persuader” is a must. I don’t know. Yes Wayne Harris stg read a good article on him well over 20 years ago and couldn’t believe the injuries he received, my goodness he’s fortunate to be alive from some very…

Good luck ^^ Here’s my donations for the afternoon only a few thank goodness. Race 2 - back again gone e/w The Spruiker yesterday was $15 today into $9 they’re as silly as me. About the only runner of Steve Wolfe’s that’s not winning lately he’s…

Recall reading an article by Damian Oliver and was very surprised was all for getting rid of the whip. Was shocked but if a jockey as outstanding as him says that and he’d be in the top 5 I’ve ever seen then you sit up and take some notice. Just …

One of the rare ones sit on the fence with. I’m 50/50 on it. Do know this though - not a case of if the whip going completely only a matter of when and in about 500 years time if the world still going people will rightfully or wrongfully say - i c…

The fine just a few days ago to Tabcorp was $158,400 - sorry that’s not 15 cents to them more like 5 cents. In regards to rules and conditions sometimes when the boot is on the other foot things are a little different. All good now but how many …

All very good points guys ☝️ Only read again very recently on a slightly different note but with rules and regulations - Tabcorp not for the first time - fined a good deal of money ( 15 cents to them ) for taking bets online during live sporting e…

Went back and perused Zackariah’s previous dozen or so runs, several on paper ordinary but mixed in with them is also some quite handy efforts. A 16 horse field and won on his merits, can only beat what’s against you but whichever way painted does…

^^ Hahahaha check the date wrote that spink…fortunately was from a couple of weeks ago. I’m still in shock though but after Prince Of Penzance won the Melbourne Cup nothing will ever surprise again. Just goes to show with throwaway lines - recal…

Just checking today’s results :-O did say he’s part of a very select lot! Looking at the last couple of years been to Mt Barker, Geraldton, Albany, Ascot, Bunbury, Pinjarra, Esperance and Belmont.

That AI is amazing - can sort of tell when something is AI now but not all the time - put it this way if someone put there name to the preview I’d be none the wiser. The best thing though is the AI Bomb tip..love it!! Sometimes can tell AI artic…

Locked and loaded into these bets today… Race 1 - gone e/w the first starter Beyond Measure very astute trainer Paul Hunter from the great southern can remember mid 80’s as a young trainer down Albany often got good results way back then too. Rac…

In Columbo style just one more thing - a good serious punter was saying recently that he had his wins and losses but can’t bet tote anymore there’s nothing in the pools and fixed odds corporates shave my dividend by a point or two every time - very …
