Interesting point to come out of the meeting on Sunday. 8 horses raced either in pads or bar plates, of those 8, 3 managed to win, including the winner of the cup whilst carrying a record weight for the race. 37.5% success rate for horses wearing n…

"There is no proof that there has been any personal financial gain by anyone, so it'll be a couple of fines" Doesn't necessarily have to be 'punting proof' for financial gain, the proof in the financial gain is that she's managing owner of Stellar I…

Just listened to the interview and my view is that Lindsay probably made it worse. No different to Nolen on Black Caviar, he knew he had them beaten, then stopped riding, the horse had an injury and pulled up a lot quicker than he thought, he was l…

Try to add, it was never sold, given away.

Ouch. Couldn't be a nice feeling when you sell a horse to Kal, it wins 3 on the bounce and in the process beats your runner home by 7 lengths. Particularly when you paid 180k for it. Ouch. Couldn't be a nice feeling when you sell a horse to Kal, i…

Reflective to how a few things are going in Kal this year. Did watch both trials and I know they went about 1:10 for the first and 1:12 for the second if anyone cares.

Just a thought here folks. Putting everything aside, if Kirov Boy won wearing the cerise colours, trained by Williams, ridden by Willie Pike, what price would he be?
-
Corporates still betting Kirov Boy $41 after that win for the Perth Cup, worth a nibble at those prices guys.

Slip, do you have a photo of the Brazilian Women's Cycling Team? I reckon their uniform would be a little tidier!

Don't worry about punting, sort out ya spelling/grammar first. Then you mIght be able to read the form guide properly.

As we all know on here, the racing industry is built from the punting dollar, a significant drop in turnover will have a major impact on racing in WA. Stake money drops, owners get out, those directly involved see a drop in wages, breeders will cut …

darkshines April 8 QuoteFlag+1 -1 I'm happy with my $34 Mystic Prince. Miles in the legs, but at same time softer lead up. Not suited by slow tempo in his race, but will be by Gold Broker running along over 2400. Big question marks on the majorit…

Interesting point about Moreish is that she probably went into work about May last year. I reckon Sharon put her in a paddock for about 3 weeks in January, but outside that, she's been up for nearly a year as a 3yr old filly, incredible stuff! She's…

Same thing happened in a maiden a few weeks ago in Kalgoorlie. RWWA was contacted and informed the horse was missing from the field, within a few minutes it was in and it had drawn barrier one, the rest of the field moved out one from their original…

I counted 29 starts in 11 months for GNG, he is an iron horse. Interesting thing about GNG is that he's earned over $200k in that period, so you'd be happy to own it and you'd be very happy with the training performance of JW!

Great book of rides! Just work around him with all ups and you'll make good coin. Absolute genius is 'Smoking Joe'

Barring an injury in running or being pocketed, on what we've all seen, she can't be beaten, at least not by this lot in Aust. On a slow pace she wins, on a fast pace she wins, either pattern hasn't made a difference. Most of her times haven't been…

With the 2 horses carrying No.4, maybe one is leaving the track the other one is coming on. When I went to the races in Bangkok as soon as they crossed the line, the field for the next race came on the track and started doing slow work for the next …

Yep, this is another one they've got wrong. Funny part about this one is they got the photo for third right and it's closer than the deadbeat for first. :shock:
-
If anyone is interested in have a punt on Esp on Monday here are my thoughts: 1.No.5 - Light and Excite - First start in WA was an encouraging 2nd to Mosalishus. Should improve further and an experience rider goes on. 2. No.4 - Babaji - I know they…

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the Perth Cup was actually worth more than the Melbourne Cup for a short period. A few months later the VRC upped the ante to have their cup valued higher, can anyone back me up on that one? Back in those days the…

He should not have let Exclusive Honour box him in when it went 3 wide around him, then he keeps praying for that miracle run like he always does.

Brilliant, the sad part about it is it's actually believable!! Hope the bloke that put it together isn't a registered racing person as RWWA's fun police will probably charge him for bring racing into disrepute!! :D
-
The only true measure of a jockey is premierships and strike rates. Easier now to get all the info available on strike rates etc but in years gone by before the computer age data is usually restricted to premierships and where they finished on the p…

The whole exercise has possibly back fired on 2 fronts for Perth Racing. With the big push for BC having the effect of scaring the interstate opposition and then maybe the concerted effort put into getting her has come at the expense of neglecting o…
