It is time for me to ride off into the sunset so far as social media is concerned. Good luck to all.

Remember it well I was working in the change box at the main gate at GP (very busy) and managed to sneak away from the counting of the entry proceeds to watch the race.

I was going to let Markovina's comments pass, but I feel obliged to defend his denigration of Keith Slater.I am assuming the six game league player was directed at me and I am fair game in that regard.Keith Slater represented WA in three sports Foot…

At least Peter Oneill is doing his best to revive some interest at GP with Family Fun Fridays in January.

At GP two excellent wins remember was when Justaboyden took off in a Pacing Cup woooosh never seen a pacer sprint like that. And can’t recall it’s name now eastern states horse won the Golden Nugget coming from an impossible position top of the s…

If my memory serves me correctly Danny Power was escorted from Globe Derby Park at the opening meeting of an Inter Dominion due to a disparaging article he wrote about the controlling body is SA.

And that was after deducting considerable points for excessive whip use.

Mount Eden's Miracle Mile win for me.

Over 30 years ago in another lifetime Marko. Don't do the in depth form anymore.
-
Reduction in distance would definitely assist Magnificent Storm.
-
I spoke to Steve on Italian Night and he said that turnover was virtually non existent.
-
The only query may be that Magnificent Storm crossed from 7 when Minstrel drew 2 last time they met.Minstrel was still good enough to breeze and win.

An $18 winner at GP on a tough night for tipsters Sonny. Of the nine Media Guild Tipsters eight tipped only one winner in Minstrel.
-
On second thoughts the horse may have been Jester King which trialed as Jest A King.
-
I can vaguely remember a story about No Jo King trialing at Northam under the name Nojoking and then pulling off a plunge at its first race start.
-
Some good value available if you can find winners.
-
Carey and Safiotti both had a ride in the mobile for a race start.

Spent an enjoyable evening at GP at Golden Nugget night. I was seated between Des Parr who trained the 1993 winner Valley Champ (driven by G Hall Snr) and John "Down by the palms" Hunt who called the race. Not easy to find winners but some good valu…

Reminiscing my days as a stable hand back in the 1960s. When Dad had a starter we were always stabled between the Bill Johnson team and the Richards team. Mrs Richards always wore black slacks a white shirt with a black tie as she looked after some …

Chaddy was my Phys Ed teacher at Governor Stirling and later played against him in a Swan Districts/East Perth game.

It happens Sonny.

Great start to the night Sonny.

Thanks JayJay I may have the wrong Jackpot night. It may well have been an earlier meeting for a lesser Jackpot but I am fairly certain that the other details are correct..
-
I may need JayJay to fill in the gaps on this one as we are going back to Richmond Raceway in 1958. The Fremantle Trotting Club conducted a Jackpot where punters had to select the last 6 winners.The Jackpot in 1958 got up to 92,000 pounds (equivalen…

A regular contributor to this forum had a winner at $41 yesterday. Obviously forgot to tip it to the masses. :)
-
r5n2...r7n2...r8n11.. Good punting.. A $13 winner in Race 7. Well done.
-
Was a 31K carryover from the previous race which in turn was boosted by 5.9 K carrover from race4 The carryovers probably due to the change in handicapping.
-
For more than a decade this was the first GP meeting that did not produce one odds on favourite. Something must be working.

Fred Kersley once said that the most exciting races to watch are thos brought about by driver error..
