In Nov 2000 G Hall snr took a truckload of horses to Kalgoorlie. I think it was the first iteration of the mini round that existed for a couple of years before meetings were progressively cut from the goldfields season. The club ran meetings on the …

Charlie Osmetti from that list was my first senior football coach. A terrific person who engendered great respect in his sporting endeavours & as a leader of men. Played for South Fremantle in the WAFL & was a very good cricketer. Went on to…

What narrative would that be ? you appear to be the proponent of wholesale change & arbitrary destruction of the right to exist of some venues here in WA....based on a single simplistic statement of comparative turnover between the principal met…

Ah well ...looks like you might have to reluctantly miss this weeks after hours turnover tutorial. I recommend staying at home with a dozen or so bumnuts & having a browse through the "How to suck eggs" training manual..

Sounds to me like we better shut down every other track in WA then. Slap on some sunscreen & off to the new GP every day ...six horse free for alls for all to marvel at.on a 24 hr turn around. Except you JayJay ...didn't notice your horse in on…

Figures mean nothing without context ....the figures GP produced when they raced their metro meeting starting at 10 am on a friday because of the footy wouldn't have done justice to a set of Byford trials. I remember being told by an analyst in mana…

I must congratulate some of the contributors here for their dogged persistence ....we have returned to this subject & variations of it a million times over the duration.What has remained a constant with a picket fence beside it in the form guide…

Looking back on it ....those hub rails were an insanity.

You haven’t looked at the progeny have you Marko. I reckon Marko will have 36 taken off this over ;))

The late Ted Greig used to delight in saying " Charging the public to get in ?....they should have staff out the front lassoing the public so they don't get past"

Would you like a slice of humble pie rocket or do you want the whole thing. I am embarrassed actually IT ...it's like taking candy off a baby.

Just an educated not in confidence opinion given to me by someone who should have a fair idea of the comparison but it's no guarantee... horses don't always stay static in their development. Normally I would not bother passing the assessment on but…

Heard Ernie on Curtin radio this afternoon - he was excellent - they had a fill in presenter - John Cranfield - obviously a long time punter - so it was an excellent discussion Ernie was saying that Belmont is a very good wet weather track- because…

Jnr did a similar thing to win on Lang Inwoods horse Twentynine Twelve at $100/1 a couple of weeks ago. I think his best drives are when he is free of expectation & makes it up as he goes along...which is not often given the usual range of horse…

The above is a picture of the sun's movement taken from the same spot over a period of a year. It is not hard to conclude that if you are looking into it then for significant periods of the year at dusk it's trajectory toward the horizon will lead t…

Seems a bit incongruous to me to sell off a percentage of GP real estate in order to fund a rejigging of the geometry & geography of racing at the same venue.Certainly the value of the remnant land will be diminished compared to the current comp…
