It is a given that the West Australian almost totally ignores the Harness and Greyhound codes, choosing to concentrate on local Racing to a certain extent, and filling up column space with non descript "cut and paste" stories on Eastern States racing, somewhat at odds with it's claim to be a voice of the people, WA's own paper etc etc., all the sort of parochial flannel that you'd expect since DeCeglie and Stokes have re-imaged the local masthead.
But this little pearl of nothingness caught my eye this morning......bottom right page 52. Would love to know exactly what it means.
"Kevin Sheedy and Denis Pagan will lead Victoria's best city and country jockeys in the second-annual (sic) Rapid Racing at Flemington on January 29. All seven races on the punchy program will be run over 1000m to 1200m with 30-minute (sic) gaps."
If that doesn't illustrate the disdain it has for racing and the complete disrespect with which it treats its readers, nothing will. You wouldn't wrap up your potato peelings in it......what a stark comparison to what it once was.
