More Wes; more Darren. No thanks

chuck the bloody things out and start with a clean slate...this retro is garbage, its blood under the bridge, if they got away with it years ago, that's it. chuck the bloody things out and start with a clean slate...this retro is garbage, its bloo…

I presume no one likes my suggestion of a few weeks (and years) ago of incentives to start from wide draws. Didn't see your earlier post but having a think about it, idea has plenty of merit. One suggestion to throw in the hat - if a barrier(s) is…

Would love it to be done but I imagine it would be expensive and also be hard to retrieve stake money. Still, I imagine stewards have their suspicions and could target test. I apologise for quoting myself but it would be of value simply as a name a…

As was correctly stated earlier, (Gilgamesh, I reckon) it is a chicken and egg situation; the bigger the fields, the less important the barrier becomes as tempo increases. People won't mind a wide draw in the big field but how do you get the big f…

The thread started with why is PTT so quiet and ended with a string of comments about what is wrong with WA racing. So there is the answer: pessimism. My first reaction to the question was that if you guys/girls were interested in, maybe even excit…

Amyquil saidAah, so conceding that it will improve racing but restricting it to certain races. Hmmm, and what's the likelihood of finding a Group1 standard 48 kg rider versus finding one for run-of-the-mill races. The second link relates to normal b…

Ignore the previous Carey said:"....you need races of high standards(or to give the impression they are high standard, which would be simple to do) to entice interest in the product....." So, I guess you reckon a smaller group of better recogni…

amyquil is wrong where class is concerned i think. I'm sure I am but if people are thinking, that's a good thing.

Carey said: "i hope your were not aiming at me amyquil, as i saw you mention my name a couple of times." No. I was hoping to stimulate more than just you, but your thoughts are always worth hearing. I guess i haven't given up hope yet but my efforts…

And if anyone hasn't seen my previous posts I'm an advocate for prize money commensurate to the weight you carry.

2 years ago: Brad Waters - 10 Feb 2014 "Two-year-olds Boomwaa and Bugatty are in line for one of racing's toughest tests in Saturday's Group I Black Caviar Lightning (1000m) at Flemington. Boomwaa and Bugatty are among 14 nominations for the $500…

but who can ride at 48-50kg these days? you are not allowed to have 10yo hoops. tell that to the handicappers who still allow Lexus winners to start in a Melb Cup with 50kg or Doncaster runners. Or 3yo fillies carrying 46 in a Cox Plate. If you ca…

Might I add, that I don't claim to know anything about all this just throwing some different ideas and thoughts in to try and generate some discussion and creativity. I honestly believe that nothing but radical, independent changes will work to sav…

Been saying for a long time - there should be a cap on (penalty) points.That will fix it. eg Can't get more than say 6 points for winning a race, regardless of how out of your grade you run. if you start out of your class and win, then get penalize…

Another one for Carey: Is this hair-brained? For example: Today we will have a 1000; a 1400; an 1800; and a 2400. Enter your horse; you may get 40 kg. You may get 68 kg. Prize money will be commensurate with the weight you carry; and maybe even the …

Further to that, I have also said on here before that I cannot get my head around why a field of non or single city winners races for the same stake money as open class horses. Once again it borrows from the trots, but it makes complete sense for me…
-
I stated on here about 5 years ago that there was one main problem to be fixed (I know there are 1 million smaller ones). Carey asked me what that was and I said "field sizes". Nothing's changed in that regard. I wonder why its taken so long for som…

More likely getting excited at the prospect of calling "the Amelia Park colours"

Also, with the AFL season around the corner get ready for another 23 weeks of Brad Hardie's Multi. So far I reckon he's got about three right in five seasons. At one stage he had 50+ rounds without a collect. It's a pretty loyal/hopeless punter t…

Regarding Richie Bell's performance this morning: I caught that bit; he was just having a bit of fun with the Geraldton tipster. I think they know each other pretty well. Shortte has been on his soapbox lately yet you criticise Richie! I know which…

Often find the biggest drawback is that he's so eager to spill out his opinion on the horse / race / result, that he inevitably talks over the top of every single guest that appears. Otherwise, do enjoy the show - it would be a tough gig, so if any…

I don't actually care where the profits go. Makes very little difference in my opinion. What I do care about is: 1. Punters with a half a brain can't get a bet on - apart from with Betfair which has liquidity and premium charge issues, and 2. Tha…
