How Ironic bob of the heads. Yep Chagemar Ian Albunio won a race on it .
R1 No5 PRINCESS MICKAYLA I really liked the look of first up, happy to back on a 1by4basis at the roughly $24/4.
R2 No3 Jilliby Jake. Think back to this grade he can run a real race from the breeze, even have a crack at cross the 1 earyl - it is a grade drop for Seven No Trumps but i feel like it is going awful.
R6 No6 SUKHOVEY WINDSTORM I liked the effort first up, 50/1 plus will have a few dollars on.

That's why if G P. Has to go the lot or nothing, skimming the cream and pay 2 million per year for five years for something that's worth 90 million go plait your human excrement, if you believe it's the best thing for Harness racing in W A

Middle 1974 TCB bought 86.51 hectares (218acres) .of rural zoned land for at Keysborough 30 kilometres south of Melb for
outlay 1.45 million.
By November 1974 the government approved of additional 30 metropolitan meetings at the Future Keysborough.
November 1979 Victorian metropolitan trotting faced the following problems.
Number of meetings limited because opposition from residents and the Essendon City Council.
The TCB held only 55 of its possible 73 metro meetings 43 at M Valley 12 showgrounds.
Total rent was 330,000 a year --270,000 to Moonee Valley racecourse 60k, for showgrounds.
The Keysborough project was now estimated to cost 13.9million after loan repayments and interest charges.
Some considered that this project would bankrupt Victorian harness.Others said trotting mustn't be subservient to a race club or the showgrounds and must build Keysborough for the future of trotting.
Never got off the ground was 22klms closer to city then melton.
Melton was 46 million to setup. Believe the land at keysborough was sold at loss. W.A harness seem to be heading for carbon copy

your right what are we doing in this day in age , with the times horses are running , racing on 800m or less tracks , welfare of the horses must come into it
Can anyone tell me what happened to Henrik Larsson???
Bolted in a race this time last year and not seen since.
He broke down
Bugger, thought that must have been the case.
Real shame after Hayden kings great article the other day.
Well that’s not true at all, after stewie won the oaks there was direct quotes from him in the article and he never spoke to Ernie or anyone from the west

His article today also brought up AGAIN the race that was investigated up north…..said race and jockey were investigated with nothing found so absolutely no reason to print it again.

My annoyance is that an industry that I’ve grown up in/around already is on the way out it doesn’t need any help from people continually writing about the negatives of the industry.
As I’ve stated before I’ve spoken with participants of these industries who have far bigger names than I do in horse racing and they are of the same opinion.
It’s a well known fact among participants that things are quoted in the paper that have never been said in any form.
Surely Warren would know, such a succesful long standing man in the industry would have had many published articles of his decorated career

Remember witnessing altercation between Journalist & Trainer Driver --Bunbury round. late seventies, when punters didn't have much to go,
This driver before the race colours on made beeline for Journo. calling him every effinney. c
Yelling out every punter from Kununurra to Esperance has backed this because of you the journo was Greg Denham.
