The above is exactly why they need a thorough enquiry to make sure it is clearly understood what happened. Haven't checked it out but someone wrote on hear that this mare didn't always request a blanket, so that may have been why she got the short s…

Biggest slaughter ever Ted Demmler on Pure Steel in the Miracle mile should have won by a furlong. What about Fred Kersley - Chandon, Vic Derby. Lou Austin - Flashing Star, WA Pacing Cup. Managed to slaughter not only his own drive but Norms D…

This unfortunate incident was a complete accident that nobody could have foreseen. It is possible the horse may have kicked out even with a barrier blanket on.......the blankets are not 100% guaranteed to stop horses from scrambling or kicking out o…

Okay, a bit of target practice. Here goes: ....... Rhetts Law (won an Interdominion but don't know how), .......... In career best form at the time. Home track. No WA champs in the series (if I remember correctly stablemate Pure Steel was the…

This incident would not surprise anybody. What an indictment.

I've moved this back from the other thread Not many stayers here, or should I say longer distance horses. As for my favourite, Amyquil; ability-wise, there is no question in my mind. It's a bit like asking if Dulcify was a champion; did he race lo…

One of the best 2 y/o's I saw was Privilette, she was lengths superior to the 2 y/os of her year Lou Luciano had one that had 1 start and won by 10 lengths...Coondle Thought I was the only one who remembered Coondle. If I remember correctly, he wa…

Good topic & it would be fair to say the quality of WA Pacers well & truly would have the WA Gallopers covered thats for sure. The best 10 ive seen in my time the last 30 odd years which counts out absolute Champs like Mount Eden, Beau Don, …

Some great horses have been named and many champions in their own right but if you are using the word "freak" as a description in my opinion only one fits that category - Mount Eden. There was another freak - Chandon Definitely top 50 in my 30+…

Too much free time this morning, put this together and then realised the thread's been pulled. Since I've gone to the trouble, I'm posting it. Please, Blacks A Fake, no more about LR. According to me, of the horses I've seen since the late 70's he…

Don't know if this has mentioned on here. WA stipes swoop, declare all-clear June 10, 2013, 7:52 am Ernie ManningThe West Australian Racing and Wagering WA stewards swooped on stables and trainers' vehicles to search for illegal substances and equ…

I don't think the authorities have any idea how much camera angles and positioning affect turnover. Me either, by the way - it's not like I've done a study or anything! My guess is it has a big effect. Everyone in Victoria goes on about how succes…

i just checked motivation's explanation, and personally found it wanting with regards to miss solis. not sure it had much chance yesterday anyway, but that is a different topic to betfair, where it's obvious betfair is the ONLY market worth watchin…
-
Not commenting on that race though - I wouldn't have a clue.
-
Mailman are you accusing the stable of giving Miss Solis a run? No question it went average but had excuses... Don't think you have to be not trying to know it won't win.
-
Carey, Without wanting to go into semantics: the term 'open class' wasn't mine, but I certainly take your point. If the population was there it wouldn't be too hard and maybe eventually it will be but as it stands it could be difficult. I guess…
-
I've never understood why the basic stake in thoroughbred racing was the same for all classes, so I reckon 60K for the Open class is a step in the right direction. Don't know how big the fields will be - perhaps Carey has a handicapping remedy for …

.........Racing's nominee is businessman Bob Pearson, sire of the gold medalist, Todd Pearson.......... Relevance??? Maybe Ian Thorpe and Shane Gould's dads could help too. So, you have no time for critics of the stakemoney increases even thou…
-
I think Mailman is right about the state of WA fields. This is the first TAB meet in Australia since January, and possibly a lot longer, to not have a last start winner. I looked at the fields on Racenet where they have numerics for about 10 runs;…

......In 30 years of watching the trots & races I have never seen a pacer with the scintillating turn of speed Quinny has when he's unleashed...... Only other one that had that acceleration and brilliance was Chandon. Anybody who hasn't seen …

I don't see the big deal either. Maybe I'm guilty of a throwaway line, but it sounded like that to me. I think Lester was dead right though, nothing controversial re: Barakey. Just bloody disappointing

Didnt hear the interview. How did Shortte "melt" on the spot? While I could relay it pretty much word for word I think Shorttie has copped enough here. It's a lesson I suppose that when you are talking to someone who thinks deeply and seriously ab…

......Good to hear Eddie Rigg explain what the hold up with the Belmont development is (which he explained was to do with the stadium and freeway expansion, for extra train lines). Would be good if the members were kept up to date with these update…
-
A bit of a joke if you ask me. So they have virtually set the top weight at 58.5kg for Ortensia (before the mares allownace). Then worked there way down giving 0.5kg for every rating point less. Not exactly rocket science...... Pretty sure top weig…

He's been expecting to talk to Peter Moody too this morning. If Moody is on the program maybe they could get Wes on line to repeat his comments re: Moody's "vitamins" from Monday morning. Racetrack Ralphy didn't want to comment I reckon Moody would…

Restricting particular punters is different to limiting exposure on individual bets. I think the latter can be navigated around by placing the bet multiple times. But that is only from what I've heard. I don't bet enough to know. As for restricting…

There wasn't a lot of comment or support on here when I raised the ride on Love A Buzz about six weeks ago. I don't do any form these days but I do know that horse's pattern pretty well and it was not a predictable situation. Having its ears ridden…

Couldn't have said it better myself Carey to be any good requires hard work, if you take shortcuts you invariably eventually miss that one piece of the puzzle you shouldn't of. I always thought it was "shouldn't have" not "shouldn't of". Happy to …
