  • Who mentioned the Bond horses?  tualou hit the line exceptionally and TLM was held up for a run so based on how they were traveling at the end you could say maybe they were both under driven slightly in saying that the way the race was run i dont …

  • Fair Call  But Tualou took the sit three out and so TLM would be on his back also getting the cart up.. If the driver ,trainer and owners are happy then nothing to see.. Thats my opinion for what its worth... yea I mean thats a fair call , bit of a…

  • I thought TLM , could have and should have got on the back of Tualou,  but do you think its worthy of being dragged into the stewards over, that 30 second 2nd quarter over a mile in fast class company probably deters alot of drivers coming wide the…

  • Too busy to watch GP Frid night - thus just watched the replay of race 5 - and then i watched the start - 1st 400 metres or so , and i cant see anything wrong with  how any horse in that race was driven What you have to factor in the winner won by 1…

  • That tells me you would make a good steward. Nothing to see. maybe you just have it out for certain people.? Kind of like that race a couple of months ago where you criticised jnr for he's drive on bealawyer I believe it was, yet didnt say anything…

  • Everyone has their own stories to tell.....I also had dealings with her over some quite difficult issues. My experience was the polar opposite of what you describe. Not trying to be difficult, it was just my experience, extremely professional and re…
  • The two most critical elements in racing are Integrity and Handicapping and our industry certainly lacks both. Mr Don Thomas demanded respect and got in spades. The only other steward in my time that came near Mr Thomas was Ray Murrihy. Barbara Scot…
  • Very interesting suspension yesterday at Pinjarra, A Hiltunen suspended for applying the whip in more than a flicking motion which is the rule. So what about some of the senior drivers that continually receive a reprimand or a fine and no suspension…

  • Yeah Lavra Joe , Ritchie might be right , could have choked down  C Voak , well i suppose fortunate for him that he also trains Fat Louie , because otherwise he might have copped a bit of a spray from the trainer , i dont think it would have beaten …
  • Well Qld actually infact have 3 sales competing against one another for perspective buyers if we include the Redcliffe sales, I guess we cant really compare any state until ALL sales are complete but I mean facts and figures only count when they bac…
  • Apg is being propped up by the WA sales, if your to look at the sales run by Nutrien Equine , apg over east now has to compete with them as far as the number of horses on offer, from memory nutrien have 60 odd lots in qld , 160 odd in nsw etc, even …
  • It would take a fair amount of the drug Ritalin in a 450kg to 500kg horse's bloodstream to result in a positive swab. Far more than could be transferred from just touching a horses bridle or head region. The levels the stewards are sitting on would …
  • I mean seemed a fair bit of participation in regards to the Byford meeting in regards to the introduction to the HWOE system and everyone's stance on it, nothing seemed to come of it , all well and good to say support bodies like BOTRA and the like…
  • Will be interesting too see whether or not the voices of the participants will actually be heard and ideas used to help turn this industry around
  • The process of the appointment wouldn't pass the pub test. The entitled win again. so who in this situation is entitled ?? I reckon you could appoint Andrew Forrest in this position and you still wouldnt be happy
  • So whos industry is in a better position currently WA or QLD Why don't you read both annual reports and post the facts. i did bring up a bunch of facts and figures about this very argument about a year ago which you unsurprisingly you turned a bli…

  • Some interesting driving tactics race 4, nothing to see. you said that a few weeks ago about a race at Pinjarra and at that point there was nothing wrong with the tactics of the driver you were targeting
  • I’ve said it before I’ll say it again,until rwwa build a training facility your not going to get to many new people into the industry,the cost of land these days no young person can afford to set up a property and train 10-30 horses, And while they’…
  • Field sizes at "Turnover Central" up, turnover up, SP of favourites up, average winning price up number of odds on favourites down....all coming off a very very low base achieved under the RBD heavy HWOE/Conditioned stakes racing. Still nowhere near…
  • Re the Gallops propping up Trotting and have for decades  Maybe that comes into play big time with the 8 gallops trainers ( that it is a huge turning point ) and WA Trotting ends up on its knees  That just might be a good thing , because sometimes …

  • Was at trials today, still haven't heard a participant say anything positive about the nr system, doesnt seem like too many of Cam Browns industry saving ideas have hit the target thus far
  • HRA decision for starters, fundamentally a strong supporter of NR and never ever had an 80 start maiden but there you go. please point out where I mentioned anything about you ?
  • How many times has Ashby led in a race before that race ? Once for a disappointing 6th, has handed up twice before when leading early , based on that i think it would be a fair assumption it would most likely hand up
