Marko, I think a big difference, and I am happy to be corrected, between Albion Park & GP is that GP is totally owned by GP. It is not an industry owned facility (like Byford is). Therefore we as industry participants have absolutely no say in w…

So you train trotters as thats the 1st race again on Monday at 12.03 ? :(( Hi AbbysAce, The 1st race at Pinjarra today has some funny gaited Trotters!!!

If you google " WA interdominion and Harness Racing Legends - Facebook " Thanks Marko

I was asking what the "other" WA forum was called.
-
Sorry Marko, that didn't come out quite right
-
There is that other WA Trotting forum Pray tell what it's called. Living in country WA I miss all the gossip.

What's the future of Australian Pacing Gold moving forward?. By the latest email I received it's online sales from now on.

I finally worked out how to print fields but they have Eastern States times not WA times!!!

My thoughts...Logistically, a trainer getting to the races for a 9am start would be extremely difficult to achieve on a routine basis when travel time & having to be clocked in on course 1 hour before their race at 9am, is taken into considerati…

I also welcome you back, JayJay. You have saved me a lot of typing. Any exogenous cortisone is fraught with danger. In my mind it IS performance enhancing, for the very reason's JayJay outlined. As a registered Veterinarian I know what it can do …

I hate the way it is so difficult to quote or edit or delete a post that doesn't come out the way one wants it to. It is a very hard forum to comment on, using a phone.

"Do you think that is a good look for the industry" Definitely NOT a good look.On a different note, I think he's doing a good job with those horses. Mind you most trainers can train good horses, the skill shows up when a trainer can improve a so-so…

My question is, why does it take so long for the inquiry. The latest horse has had numerous starts since that positive. Interestingly, he is also for sale.

Couldn't have said it better, Chopchop43!

Sometimes they miss a race entirely! And no apology. Or they go to a WA harness race and there's nothing on the radio except static, then the last lap miraculously becomes audible. Or they're busy yakking like fish-mongers wives & simply miss t…

One could ask the same question about SEN and their pathetic broadcasting of WA Harness races

Does anyone know whether we can watch the Nullarbor on 7+?
-
Yep tonight showed we shouldn’t have discretionary stands when we have a handicapper that doesn’t understand form. Easter cup race for roses and trotters cup all been discretionary and have all had the best horses completely handicapped out of them …

In his day, I don't think Tinny had a problem with not enough colours to field a full field. I too, disagree with driver colours. Lightening, I see Tinnies wife Karlene (nee Thorn) originally from Kalgoorlie , trained a winner at Flemington today, …

This is better than any soap opera!

On a similar note about changing things on the quiet, I wrote this in response to a comment made by Leanne, to a Facebook post that Russell Betts posted on his page. "The 3yos couldn't even second preference for a different race on Friday as the who…

Thank you for this amazing fact check, JayJay. "Us spring chickens/newbies" would have taken that statement as kosher, seeing as it was written by an "official"! Shame on RWWA for allowing such nonsense/untruths to be published
-
Without the support, they will disappear. Sad :-(

There are always Pony Trots at Albany meetings
-
They would have to order an extra bag of ice, maybe open a second tote machine in Steelo's. they might even have to clean the bird sh1t & dust off the seats!

Racing WA are big promotors of animal welfare... But we are not allowed to offer molass flavoured water to our horses when they arrive on course after a 3+hr float trip on a 42°C day, having been stopped by every traffic light en route to GP once w…

Apologies for format, a bit all over the place. Looks fine before I post, then it goes a bit pear shaped but I think it is reasonable now after a few edits. The formatting looks perfect when I hold my phone in "landscape".

Hi JayJay. I have been told by a reliable source that the Albany club put their own money in, to bolster the stake money for this meeting. I don't know how much or to which races but they have done what Kellerberrin did. Cheers
