Peterson an interesting choice - he's a very smart driver but fairly conservative and curious to see if an early move is on the cards, Vincenzo is one of the bookmakers chances in the race at an early price of around 7/2 - 4/1. ]]> Busselton Cup 25/1/2019. https://www.perthturftalk.com.au/discussion/discussion/24739/busselton-cup-25-1-2019 Thu, 24 Jan 2019 13:32:36 +0000 Ridersonthestorm33 24739@/discussion/discussions Odds from Bet365.

6. Driven $15
7. Tactile Sensation $41
20 metres.
8. Attack On Command $15
9. Danieljohn $3.70
10. Captain Proud $8

He's off 20 metres but around $8 is appealing for Captain Proud - a safe getaway, another clever drive and why not ? He's right in it.
Danieljohn look for a more aggressive drive this week.
Two rough ones don't mind for a place are the experienced campaigners Driven & Attack On Command.

A very even lot - well done to Busselton - it's a handy field. ]]> Pinjarra- WA Country Derby https://www.perthturftalk.com.au/discussion/discussion/24861/pinjarra-wa-country-derby Mon, 18 Mar 2019 07:51:33 +0000 VillageKid 24861@/discussion/discussions There have been some very good winners of this race in the past when previously run at Richmond Raceway & GP (including champion mares Daintys Daughter & Norms Daughter).

Keen to see the following race too.
If the 12 yr. old Pay Me Cullen runs up to his last start should be hard to beat again. He seemed to have a bit up his sleeve when winning.
A roughie in the race - was ok last week behind Kiwi Legend - punched the breeze, battled away to run fourth - a safe beginning and could be right in it - Smackwater Jack. ]]> GP-15/3- 4yo & 5yo Championship, WA 3yo Sales Classics Races https://www.perthturftalk.com.au/discussion/discussion/24851/gp-15-3-4yo-5yo-championship-wa-3yo-sales-classics-races Fri, 15 Mar 2019 01:16:12 +0000 VillageKid 24851@/discussion/discussions Race 2- Im Soxy

Its obviously within the rules. Am a bit ambivalent to it, more just curious to how do you keep a horse in form running twice a week ? It can't be that easy otherwise more would do it.

Only guessing, but for some trainers it must be a complete no-no ? For me - have no firm opinion one way or the other - but it's fascinating. ]]> Battle Of Bunbury https://www.perthturftalk.com.au/discussion/discussion/24840/battle-of-bunbury Sat, 09 Mar 2019 09:59:24 +0000 freodockers 24840@/discussion/discussions Short priced fav no trial form only NZ form.]]> GP- Fri 1/3 https://www.perthturftalk.com.au/discussion/discussion/24825/gp-fri-1-3 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 01:27:24 +0000 VillageKid 24825@/discussion/discussions Race 2- Courage Tells

Gone for two of them a place which thought were the best value at around $3 - Mitch Maguire and Handsandwheels.

Wouldn't write anything off for a place though, even the three rank outsiders - Jimmy J, I'm Full Of Excuses and The Bucket List.
Tactics crucial. Luck in running more so. Talktomeurmajesty think will be keen to hold up, might be a bit happening on the spacious track and a few moves going on.
Settled on.
1. Rock'nroll Lincoln
2. Handsandwheels
3. Mitch Maguire
4. Vultan Tin

It's race 5 # 1. Renascentrez - the danger is obvious - the $1.32 pre-post favourite Extradite.

First met him in the late 70's and like most of the fraternity enjoyed a bit of banter with him over the years.
When I left the metro area for 25 years I never saw him but upon my return to GP with a couple of horses Colin resumed conversation like it had been a week.
Many trainers use jog carts made by Col as a hobby.
Loved his motorbike.
No better man at starting harness races
Of late it was obvious Colin was pretty unwell but he shuffled around GP cheerily and still stopped for a chat with everyone.
RIP old mate.

R4: No12 Eloquent Mach the place. Under rated this bloke. I think he will get a lovely run through, settle midfield and run on very well.

R6 No1 Stroganoff 1 by 3. Not going to have too much on him but from the trip he is going to get he'll be around the place.

R9 No1 Whoswhointhezoo. To me he has been disrespected in the early markets. Liberty Rose is a good mare and will go well of the sit no doubt but they hardly flew home last week and she wasn't exactly charging at them. The zoo can do its own thing and keep going.

R10 No1 Absolution. This is the one, get on this fella. He will lead and just keep running. The fav I feel is being over rated on what it has done so far based on a visually good run 2 starts ago when the times don't really marry up with the look.

Don't profess to know much about handicapping and preferential barrier draws etc - but is there something awry in the system whereby a market can be 80/1 bar three and those three favourites to come out of 1,2,4 ?

What a joke betting wise. Surely at the very least they should be coming out of 7,8,9 where they'd still dominate anyway. ]]> Betting On Numbers - No Names https://www.perthturftalk.com.au/discussion/discussion/24790/betting-on-numbers-no-names Tue, 12 Feb 2019 10:43:37 +0000 Ridersonthestorm33 24790@/discussion/discussions
They ( Tabcorp ) now bet on over 300 horse/dog meetings a week but at least have afforded those gracious animals names - to now just bet on numbers - how low can they go ? Realising nobody would hardly bet on them, but it's still a joke.

Tabcorps aim - bet on more and more events and squeeze every possible cent out of the punter that they possibly can. ]]> Pinjarra Today https://www.perthturftalk.com.au/discussion/discussion/24787/pinjarra-today Mon, 11 Feb 2019 02:39:31 +0000 Ridersonthestorm33 24787@/discussion/discussions Sunnys Little Whiz from gate 1. Sonoflindenny 5. Son Of Anarchy 10.

He's got the shocker of a draw Son Of Anarchy but was impressive last week when driven aggressively and grinded out a terrific win.
Sunnys Little Whiz even though just 4th first up from a spell was a good run when pressured strongly and fought on well. Gate 1 today.
Sonoflindenny - very consistent - C. Lewis.

The trotters can do the dipsy doodle but look for these three to dominate the placings. Should be close to 1,2,3 or at worst 1,2.
Balmoral Boy and Tenno Show also place hopes. The rest 100/1.

For me in order it's Son Of Anarchy - Sunnys Little Whiz - Sunoflindenny. But only a breathe between the three. ]]> Wonderful Williams Today. https://www.perthturftalk.com.au/discussion/discussion/24801/wonderful-williams-today Sun, 17 Feb 2019 06:08:16 +0000 Ridersonthestorm33 24801@/discussion/discussions
Today the caravan rolls on to Williams, he's off the handicap mark of 60 metres from the stand and there's no 33/1, he's going around pre post at odds on!
4/7 - good luck taking those approximate odds.

Wouldn't go anywhere near at the price - however with that reinsman won't be backing anything to beat it either. ]]> GP- 8/2 Daintys Daughter Classic https://www.perthturftalk.com.au/discussion/discussion/24780/gp-8-2-daintys-daughter-classic Fri, 08 Feb 2019 02:39:19 +0000 VillageKid 24780@/discussion/discussions Race 2- Come Dance With Me

There's three major players in the race tonight - then him - but if he tucks in behind one of those guys - then $2.75 looks a great chance for the drum. He's a $16 fourth favourite - just need one of the three faves to crack - and reckon he'll take their position in the placings if he runs up the Narrogin effort. ]]> H M Fisher https://www.perthturftalk.com.au/discussion/discussion/24771/h-m-fisher Sun, 03 Feb 2019 03:37:47 +0000 Buddha 24771@/discussion/discussions Harness Racings Grand Tour https://www.perthturftalk.com.au/discussion/discussion/24774/harness-racings-grand-tour Mon, 04 Feb 2019 00:44:47 +0000 JayJay 24774@/discussion/discussions Did an epic road trip over the weekend.....GP Friday Night, balmy night, handy crowd sitting outside wining and dining. and a good atmosphere. Will need a plastic surgeon to remove the smile on Phil Costello's face, what a job he is doing with Vultan Tin, a great Westbred story and a slashing return from Choc Chai (unfortunately for me lol)
Then, off to Northam for the Cup and the Original Village Kid Sprint.....one of the best presented meetings I have been to ....the roving Microphone Man handing out freebies for the kids...and the adults, great tucker,  a vibrant Punters Club, fat crowd, the legend Bill Horn in attendance and some fantastic racing. Aldo sneaking up on the pegs in the Sprint to the delight of the Williams Clan (and JJ's pocket), a 12 out of 10 drive from Junior on The Flying Scotsman, don't see much better than that (and JJ's pocket benefits again) and the win in the Cup by Major Rush, another really good story for Graham Gilbert, home bred, home trained and clever Kyle in the cart. Hats off to Northam Harness Racing, a great night.
And finally, Sunday grassroots racing at Bridgetown where an 11 year old maiden breaks through for Daryl Miller....yes, it is a lower class of horse but the locals turn out in brilliant weather, old acquaintances renewed, a spot on drive from Trent Wheeler on the tricky to handle Natural Temptation.
Rest day, feet up today .....the encouraging thing for me was the number of patrons in attendance at all 3 meetings...yes, it is that time of the year but we really need to foster the provincial and community circuits, great work to all the volunteers, track crew, club helpers etc that keep it all afloat. One complaint...caravans doing 70km/hr in the passing lanes but there are worse things in the world, aren't there?

Top 3 in betting look the goods. Will be surprised if Cruz Bromac, I'm Pats Delight, San Carlo the next three in betting win.
Those three guys have the job ahead of them. Especially Pat & Carlo.
Cruz Bromac a fraction dissapointing in the Ballarat Cup.

Unsure if Star Galleria is arriving but he's a very good Kiwi horse. Has impressed often in the land of the long white cloud and wouldn't be out of it from a favourable draw.

Next one in betting the Inters runner up Our Uncle Sam has been a bit average since the final.
