  • The other week, on a Friday, there was a metropolitan meeting in Adelaide and the only bookie who was to attend pulled the plug because at the previous mid week meeting he said he wrote 20 tickets on the course for the day.He said it was a waste of …

  • Is that correct a $37,370 fine for taking the bird's eggs ? Individual members of those Apex gangs do not even have to pay anything like that when the go before the Court
  • 62 bookies at Caulfield yesterday, 67 for Caulfioeld Cup day. There would be more but they can't fit them in.  112 down to work at Flemington for each of the 4 days of the carnival. 15 bookies at the big once a year Avoca Cup meeting on Caulfield Cu…
  • Carey, from my understanding the horses presently utilise Levy's Beach, where the hooded plover does not inhabit, but the indigenous community believe Levy's Beach is of "cultural heritage" and want the horses to move onto the beach where the hooded…
  • Bookielover,"Column" Templeton was not known by that name because of his journalist ability,no doubt you probably know the reason for that 'nick'.
  • Not only do corporate bookies limit/ban winning punters but so do the bookmaking arms of Tabcorp, Unitab and WA TAB.
  • Surely if any additional tax is imposed on any bet offered by corporates it will be passed on to their clients ( punters) in the reduction of the odds offered by those corporates. If politicians support that tax naive punters, without the ability to…
  • Turf Talk Review posted "Baraki Beats I have marked as the danger. Should get an opportunity to lead and roll here from barrier 7 and Aaron Mitchell is a noted front running jockey." BB missed start badly runs home to beaten  short neck , what is it…
  • Does any one know whether Laurie Connell, George Way or Danny Hobby can be nominated, as the brought WA racing into the forefront on the eastern seaboard of Australia ? Hall on Infamy no doubt.
  • Listening to David Shorte & Richard Bell on Racing Radio this morning they discussed the First 4 dividend on the 8th race at Belmont yesterday. They apparently have got the message, as they discussed the dividend and made reference that it was a…
  • I do not know whether this is the case in WA but in Victoria when only two bookies operated in the betting ring on interstate races they fleeced punters. When prices were received from an interstate meeting, sometimes with a market of 130%, the two …
  • Carey, I this occasion you are absolutely correct re the variance in the pool size displayed by the WA & Supertab totes. The WA figure includes the gross amount of the carried over amount from the prior race ( $10,517) whereas the Supertab only …
  • As I initially posted someone should pull Shorte's coat tails and tell him to look at the pool size before uttering off on the top of his head something of which he has little knowledge.
  • Shovhog, what department of the TAB do you work, or are you a disc jockey on the midnight to dawn shift on Racing Radio, ? :-*
  • After trolling through 51 pages of regulations on the TAB website I now know the deduction rate on First4's is 22.5%.From my previous post the net pool on that race was $49,522, of which $45,.494 was carried over which means $4,028 was actually paid…
  • Looking at that particular race on Wednesday I note the WA TAB displays the pool as $63.9 K ( rounded ) whereas Tabcorp shows $52,822.35, why there is the difference I do not know as both tote pools are merged. The WA TAB pool it is probably corre…
  • Ubet run a station in Brisbane that broadcasts into Queensland, Tas, SA & NT. RSN broadcasts all over Victoria, and SKy Sport Radio services all over NSW. If the WA TAB is sold to Tabcorp they may broadcast RSN throughout WA.if they continue to…

  • Damien Wyer, I live in Melbourne and listen to Racing Radio at 6am your time, but at 8am in Melbourne. At that time in WA I doubt there are many listeners, but I can assure you both Shorte & Bell made special mention of that First4 dividend , wi…
  • Fair enough, you would know more about WA trainers.Just hope this bloke is not asked a question on the sire line of Henry V111, or something about Mozart, then he will then be in trouble.

  • I am not saying Jerry Noske is a genius, but the others who rode in the Albany Cup completely misjudged the pace and were made to look very ordinary. BTW I am not talking through my pocket, as I had the winner into the last winner for a good result …

  • Time for a fresh start: ARG responds to live-baiting crisis Written By Kevin Pitstock 7 hours ago   MAKE no mistake, greyhound racing in Australia is teetering on the brink of destruction. The calls for an end to greyhound racing are coming from fa…
  • Watson is just about on his way out of the Australian test side. As the first drop his average is no better than number seven drop.Likewise Joe Burns looks as he will replicate Rod Quiney, who played one test, before failing, and has never played a …
