I'd imagine it is to look after the track, with the Quokka etc just around the corner
-
i wonder if he is still admiring that painting? :-B Not sure what this means Falcon?
-
I see Jokers Grin trialled today. 5th over 740m.
-
I like the coverage on 7+, however I only watch what i want to, rather than watching continuously so the ads and repetition doesn't bother me. As for the radio, I have it a crack for a week or two, but honestly no thank you. Very difficult to bear …

I agree that they could ask more varied questions here than what we normally see, but the coverage is far better than we've ever had.
-
Possibly only because race 1 involved more experienced horses (and less flighty ones being distance horses) than say a 2yo or 3yo event did they escape a serious incident there yesterday.

I see the William team is back training under a stay until the next step in a few weeks
-
Tell you what- Darren McAullay has to be the worst judge in running. He said this one was "feeling the squeeze" at about the 600m and it wins... in fact it was about 3 strides later that it took off, and the rest is history. There are so many scenar…

Is it possible that a trainer can have a protocol for using performance enhancing drugs that they know they can get away with and all is good until something unforeseen happens? Horse gets swabbed under totally different circumstances to what has be…

Apparently, when RWWA Stewards went shopping for a frying pan, they bought the smallest one and as a result they can only cook small fish. My bet is that it will amount to a $5,000 fine and nothing more to see. . That is an interesting take tha…

Would this Williams positive mean that previous samples that are stored frozen, will be tested, or re-tested?
-
Wait til RSPCA get a wind of it- they'll be insisting it somehow caused the horse to have to get put down
-
Positive test for Codiene in a winner in 2022 - “poppy seeds” $5k fine Horse scratched prior to the Railway in 2014 after stewards observed some unusual behaviour. Foreman fined for application of “vanilla essence” 2015 another horse was found in th…

Suspended immediately pending the inquiry according to the last paragraph on the Racing WA website or whatever its called
-
Unless the horse had ADHD it would have acted like a stimulant... not a good look. Any previous positives around Aust racing for this drug?
-
Venus King R6 has drifted from 3.60 to 11 on tabtouch... be very interesting to see how it goes. Especially considering the red hot form the stable is in
-
Assuming nobody will mention their name here, so I can find out, where was it in the media?
-
Something funny happened last night at the Busselton Trots. A prominent Racing identity, on salary, rang ahead to the Club asking for two free tickets be left at the gate. When said person arrived, he then found his way into the Members Lounge and g…

FairCraic reminds me of someone from the distant past here on PTT

Jokers Grin was withdrawn from sale as a yearling in 2022, anyone know why ? Just curious more than anything that a horse this good got away from the buyers Heard in an interview that he had a crack in a pelvis or something I think
-
If Riley is the one I'm thinking of.... He says "as well" a lot! I first noticed it on the Drive program on 1206 and it was amazing how many times he said it.
-
Who was Chuck Berry apprentice to? Bill Haley :)) Enjoy reading your trips down memory lane Riders. My two main memories of Pinjarra are Flies and witnessing the Mark Miller incident Which incident was Mark Miller involved in at Pinny?
-
Great run Hoba West but it will get crucified in the ratings for only winning 12k more than a normal Saturday race. You get 4 points for a win and it will get at least 16pts for not winning. It really is terrible placement if you don't win. It's c…

I could be wrong Damo but I think that's clearly the nicest thing you've ever said on here ???? All the best to you and all the other turf talkers!

A copy and paste of my post from another thread... seems to apply on more than one thread: I've had the misfortune of having to listen into some races recently as I've been driving... I can normally watch the races on a device or TV. You simply cann…

I've had the misfortune of having to listen into some races recently as I've been driving... I can normally watch the races on a device or TV. You simply cannot rely on Darren McAullay being accurate. It's a real shame because I like the way he call…

. Kiwi Chemist might have got mixed up,with the doseage never got to the Revivon in time,Eagles had a chemist,opposite to his nature he could play like mankiller at times. I think you might have got your meds mixed up Savethegame. Can't make sense…

I know the lure is always there to chase the dollars on offer while horses are 2 and 3, but there's a lot to be said for the patient approach. Too many examples of horses that showed an abundance of talent early, ruined by chasing the early coin in…

Wouldn’t be against scrapping the Gold rush and making the Quokka 1400m Why not have both? And I agree, 1400m would be a good distance for the Quokka. Maybe they could have a three race series, with points scored for each, then a bonus at the end
-
Even money was value I thought. For perspective, what price if Pike was on? In the last race too, mind. Then if it was trained by Morton, Willams, Grantham etc!
