  • Most important ingredient  30+horses stable is to have one owner that provides at least ten horses.Owner can be with a stable for  many years, wheres a top horse, can last three years if your very lucky. .Williams racing since 2016-17 till now stabl…
  • Its a trophy race, so they want the 'best quality' field they can attract.....

  •   Can anyone explain to me why Jester Noir in race 6 today was declared a runner?   Not a cent on it, but looking at the replay the horse had reared in the air BEFORE the gates were opened.  I know it was a $30+ runner, but still to my eye was not g…

  • Willie got an 8 meeting suspension for interference in the Aust Cup 8!  WOW, he would have gotten 13 days over here..  Actually, with all the meetings in VIC, its about 9 days.  Or is that not how it works?
  • I fear you are right toey, but I would not say the outer tracks..near city to start with.I don't think we realise how bloody hard melb & Sydney jocks work. the competition is savage, they'd fair dinkum eat their young.pike is a good rider with t…
  • My mate had a small share in the half to Fuchia Bandana called Galactic Ruler, finished up in the outer goldfields i think. His next purchase was Gatting tho. #blessed I had a share in Galactic Ruler!  :O) I do recall you, myself and Chrisso got…
  • If two horses dead heat and only one is Westspeed qualified, that horse gets 100% Why does it matter if one or both are nominated? If two horses dead head, and both are Westspeed, why should they have to split the "BONUS"?  As far as I can see from…
  • And didn't Steve Parnham just set that up for Willy.  Three wide with no incentive to sit back, but kept behind Willy so he could pull out at the top of the straight, and get a clear run at them.   Wow that was horrible initiative at best.
  • Rebel King tired ? Tired of winning......? i bet you liked the price too. @Tivers bet...... not likely.   O:-)
  • I just finished watching the three year old race.........  Didn't bother counting the winners strikes, but he was going for it a long way out.  Maybe 'backhand'?   :-B
  •  I don't see how you would ever measure the reduction in interest?  The 'visitors' can't start contributing less than zero?   I don't know if its related.  But this forum, and any forum cost money to keep running.  I would think that the guys would…

  • The ride on Stratocreed. If that is how a 3kg claimer uses a whip and rides a horse to the line they may as well give her a 20kg claim...Farkking waste of time Bit harsh @RIO?  Did a bit to get the lead, and looked like the 1500 was a bit much (las…
  • Stormed home, can only think of two words - Frank Maynard. As soon as saw he was the trainer that explained it for me.  Sure, but that doesn't answer the original question of why today @ $13, not $100+ I'll have a stab and say that the $50 the trai…
  • Whats the admission price today,is ir a normal Sat price or $35.00 still. $20. https://www.perthracing.org.au/calendar/2018-12-01/crown-perth-winterbottom-stakes-day
  • Why didnt they spread the good races over the 3 days,now will probably only get 2000 tomorrow,these guys dont think do they. Next you'll be asking why they don't have all the races on the one day and call it Super Saturday? Are there enough 'good' …
  • Very hard for  punters, the lifeblood of the industry to nail a break....   You want a break?  STOP betting All in markets.  If the bookies want you to bet, make them get you the info (pressure RWWA/Stewards to clarification).   Or you could throw …

  • Can someone smarter than me explain why Regal Counsel... a 62 rater, gets a start in the Guineas ahead of The Fugazi... a 63 rater?  I think the Guineas order of entry in prizemoney, not rating?
  • I think Willie can extend his holiday after doing the EXACT SAME THING that he got time for the other day, again there in race 7 on Regal Power.Um,.....no.  Careless riding yes, but extenuating circumstances apply this time.  That being the feature …
  • Gary I think I read on here somewhere before that you are a Ascot trainer. If that's the case like half of the rest of Ascot you would know what he has proven positive toNo, not trainer.  Part time owner, full time mug punter. Hash, no more handy (r…

  • What’s he tested positive for? Could just be a weight loss supplement for all we know A "banned substance" is a banned substance, whether it be a weight loss supplement or a diuretic that your mum gave you because you looked puffy.  But agree that …

  • On a racing topic, Brothers Keeper in the last has had a bit of support.....  Hopefully Shelby can get a good race in from that gate! (and 4 less points from the handicapper......)
  •   Sorry, was off at the movies, so couldn't respond to this bulls#it till now.    Race programing had the race as a 70+.  So it's not like the owners/trainer didn't know what it would receive as a handicap.  They also should have known that their jo…
  • No.Arsenic "may" increase appetite and improve cost condition at much higher doses, which is why it is still available in injectable form from most feed stores.At extremely high doses, there is poor evidence that arsenic might improve cardiac output…
  • i actually thought it was a lot more dangerous than 14 days..Flat out down the straight in a  crowd and decide to go through a few horses!?!?!?!? Come on @RIO, good competitive racing!  He had a chance of winning, and just needed an out.  "Careless…
  • I give it to the kid, he rides hard to win. But Jordan Turner on Fontainbleu, will he get time for that? Didnt see head on so only speculating Was about to say the same.  Mate, go around, not through!!!  Hopefully Donga's mount is ok, but it pulled…
  • why are there so many extended noms with Westspeed bonuses being so good for the industry participants..... Reality check Westspeed supporters...It isnt working!! The size and quality of fields, or even turnover on prime Saturday races is NOT an obj…
  • 5 of those races have extended noms,  so why would you want more empty races?
  • Were was that announce @tony Nt on CRIS, not on TAB!?!?!? Twitter mate.  I know, old people need ALL the social feeds on a desktop shortcut :D
