If my horse won that particular race I wouldn't want to see the vision either.

If they end up losing both car parks you would think they would slide even further into the red as it's probably the only money making asset they have. If it's true that they can't afford to redevelop belmont then why spend the money relocating the …

So does that mean GRD will be taking the parking from around the stalls as well? Aren't the new stalls only approved to go on the other car park. Does this mean there will be no parking at Belmont?

I think Bob is good for the industry. Would the Premier League or the NBA be as exciting to watch if you removed the top clubs? A lot of the punters on this forum often complain about poor quality race fields, I think bob increases the quality of ho…

Good on him for having a go! He's taking all the risk so why shouldn't he get some financial return for that. The guys at Darby, Triple Crown, Star thoughroughbreds.... all do the same. The majority of his clientele would be first time owners wantin…

I think Lot 68 will be the sales topper on day 1 and will go to either the Gangemi's, Dan Morton or Gary Portelli as they usually aren't shy at spending big at the sales. For what it's worth i don't mind lots 132 and 89

If it was me i would leave the lake as it only takes up about a third of that area. The current carpark looks like it would fit more than 3 times inside the track. The lake is handy to have as the Swan River Trust won't let you discharge any water …

A tunnel ? FFS sake the next thing they will claim to be building surely will be the replacement space shuttle for NASA It wouldn't be too complicated Damien. The tunnel just has to allow cars to get under the main straight. Would think you could o…

Biggest problem Tivers Is that I don't think the race club owns it. I am confident it was part of the sale of land. The only thing PR can develop is the ground the grandstand is on from the river side of the grandstand up to the show ring in the sta…

Any news on the fallen horse and rider?

I usually do a maximum of4 selections first leg3 selections second leg3 selections third leg4 selections fourth leg(or any combination of the above) $30 gets you 20% so you don't have to have much on for a chance at a decent collect.If you're still …

Just out of interest did Perth Racing invite any members to attend the launch of the Masters? Judging by the photos on Facebook it looks as though it was reserved for Perth Racing staff and socialites only.

Get more people into horse ownership. I had a share in 2 horses and rarely missed a race bringing either my mates with me or family. Since both have been retired (6 months ago) I haven't been back since. With the introduction of the new rules allowi…

All the best Gray hopefully nothing too serious Initial thoughts are R4 Let it Slip (if it was over 1200mm I would be all over her but she's a question mark at the distance)R5 Gigante been in good form lately only 2.75 lengths off Great Shot 3 start…

I love Noske but i fear he might have cost let is slip a chance at winning not taking the rails run. Great run Dendee.
-
Great run by the rock!

Paul Papalia has also been given the tourism portfolio which coincides with McGowans pre-election commitment to support racing in WA and use it to boost tourism.
-
Anyone else got anything going round that they're involed in?
-
Good luck Diva with falcon crest in the cup. Sure would be satiafying to breed a decent one yourself and be in with a chance of winning a black type race.
-
Buffy it was when colin announced his plan for a safari park style zoo in the perth hills a few months ago. McGowan rubbished the idea and said if ellected he would put money into racing as an alternative to boost tourism.
-
At least McGowan is on the record as being pro racing. Wants to grow the industry and use it to attract tourists. Has Barnett done anything positive for the racing industry?
-
If they really want families to come to the races have something there to entertain the little ones. If i take my young bloke with me it takes about 45minutes before he's bored and running a muck. I end up spending more time chasing him than having …

The idea behind reducing the amount of meetings would be to try and boost the public interest/ turn over on the days that you do have meetings. More stakes races on the one the one card makes for more turnover. In reality a trainer, jockey, farrier,…

I would suggest having an off season i.e. no racing in WA for a couple of months similar to the short break between the EPL or NBA seasons. Maybe this could be in the middle of winter. Less races would mean you would get bigger feild sizes, create …

I've had a quick look through the entire book and apart from the half to Elite Belle there wouldn't be a lot that I would personally like to own a share in. Why would a breeder sell their stock here when you can get so much more for the same horse …
-
The Snitzel tries but he has his issues. He's a decent provincial horse when we can get him to the track. On the positive i have met some fantastic people through owning him.
-
What are your initial thoughts Damian? The book certainly looks like it has a strong local flavor with 78% choosing a WA stallion.

So race day treatment consisting of a fly repellent is worth a 6 month disqualification but bringing a horse to the track on methamphetamine is just worthy of a fine. WTF https://www.punters.com.au/news/Waller-fined-30-000-over-ice-positive_155801/

Think Macca does a great job remembering and calling 300+ horses per week. Not sure though if he has all the right tools though at his disposal. If i was him i would want a live video feed streaming directly to the tower plus a sky racing feed to r…
