MCGOWAN GIFTS PETERS
West Australian RacingWA PREMIER HAS DELIVERED CARNIVAL ‘GIFT’ TO BOB PETERS
ONE of the country’s biggest owners Bob Peters has invested so much in racing in the west that he deserves every win he gets in return.
But what a ‘gift’ the nonsensical Premier of WA, Mark McGowan, has delivered Peters Investments with his ‘border ban’ on interstate horses contesting the carnival.
As Peter Moody so rightly said McGowan needs to pull his head out of his **** and recognise the importance to the racing and tourism industries in the west of the Perth carnival.
Sadly, as a result of his border closure, questions are being asked whether the Pattern Committee should consider downgrading the Railway Stakes from Group 1 status.
The Peters’ star that won the race last Saturday – Western Empire – would arguably hold his own with the best carnival gallopers on the east coast but surely he was entitled to have faced the best in the west as well.

Would love all these people bitching about no eastern state horses fronting up to put a list forward of horses that actually would have come across. Again, the problem is these shit house pop up races like the 'Gong" providing a better option for them to target. It's a race that suits a 4 yo up and comer and the Golden Eagle at 7.5 million gives the best 4yos over there no option but to go to Sydney for a Grand Final. Look at I'm Thunderstruck. Should have been across here. Why would they though? Se.woth Count De Rupee. Goes down the road for a million $ race instead of 4000km across the country.
WA isn't innocent here either, the Railway needs to be 2 million at least to get the attention over east and it just seems to be the wrong time of year..They only ever attract the second stringers or after thought horses. It needs an over haul. Peters will win the next 10 at this rate.
The border issue this year was a convenient excuse not to travel and the salty ES wankers couldn't wait to pot WE and the railway. I guess we'll find out next year.

Granted, that yours are not a very very slow method of cooking, as those are,....but still.
Probably, same could happen if you use your dart board once every couple of months.
