  • “A subsequent survey post the 26 April 2026 race meeting has identified an amendment to the 1600m start position, which has now been updated.”It'd be nice to ask them "If the cup was run over 1680m in 1:43.74, how could the 1400m races have been ac…

  • So they have admitted the 1600m races were actually 1680m. Why not own up to the other mistakes?

  • They didn't credit me! Also left out "for about 5.5sec" after "the cup field were running" One racing forum contributor, after reviewing footage of the Cup, claimed the field was already running before reaching the official 1600m marker. “The cup …

  • For the record, the Cup field were running for about 6 seconds before they hit the 1600m post so that race might have been closer to 1700m. It certainly helped Wayne The Pain at the expense of Beats Of War.

  • Here's the Cup replay so you can see for yourself where that red mark on the running rail is. Starting position of the "1400m" races is at the 21 second mark and the 1400m post is at the 24 sec mark of the following video. Whoever is responsible is …

  • Here they are at 2:34.37 hitting the 1400m post meaning the so called 1400m race was at least 1450m if not more (the 1400m post would be for rail in true position).

  • In the Cup race 7 1600m here they are at the same point (note the time stamp 2:31.28).

  • Race 1 at 1400m starts on red mark on running rail.

  • Horse was going very well Going much better than when Ryan Hill had it. Boy Hill needs some of Brock's fence posts  =))
  • Brock Lewthwaite was better than Peter Fernie once  =))
  • Perhaps they should offer reduced sentences for early guilty pleas? At least that way, you'd only fight it if you were actually innocent instead of playing silly buggers.
  • I remember going to the Morphettville betting auditorium on a non race day to have a bet in 1996. Only time I've been there.
  • Shorter trip for Mr Popcorn now.
  • If Rodent is active on Rockingham, he must be expecting a value day *-:) Lost on Lark Hill but had a good result at Albany for a decent day. Really should have focused on Albany as I really didn't like the fields at "Rockingham".
  • I can only assume there is something obscuring the view of the normal camera until they get to the 200m mark.
  • What's with the stupid head on until half way up the straight? Impossible to know what's happening!
  • Chris: "Iconic return to Rockingham with even the Wizard making the drive for a winner".

  • Tabtouch reporting a bet of $7000 @ $9 on Ahyeahrighto in race 6 Saturday. So far 10s to 5.5 on fixed. How does someone get on with $7000 when they have been known to knock back dribble amounts in comparison?  Has to be a lifetime losing account. Wh…

  • 2025 Albany Cup Soft 5, 2100m run in 2:13.83 (winner's last 600m in 37.31)2026 Albany Cup Soft 5, 2100m run in 2:18.77 (winner's last 600m in 39.34)  To top it off, the 2026 Cup was actually 1.5kg stronger on hcp rating.  WTF are the stewards doing?…
  • I follow golf and play it but don't bet on it. I just enjoy watching it. Not interested in golf from a betting point of view.
  • The jocks were all saying much worse than soft 5. The cup was won in a time more than 10 seconds outside the record and the 600m section was 40.06. The winner had the best split of the race in 39.34. That's closer to heavy 10 than soft 5. WTF is goi…
  • Supposedly a soft 5 at Albany today  =))  In race 5 over 1230m, the winner flew home the last 600m in 38.5. The 1000m race was won in 1:01.42. The same horse won on a soft 5 last week same course/dist in 1:00.57. Why do the stewards mislead the punt…
  • It's Coober Pedy. I let the first attempt slide but you're now 0/2 so I had to step in  :)>-

  • Is she related to any trainers or jockeys in W.A? Clearly from what we've seen, that is a prerequisite.
  • Why was Geraldton canned? There's been hardly any rain up there. Only about 4mm over the last 2 days. Very windy at the same time though. Tomorrow's forecast is great. 25deg with lighter than usual winds for Gero.

  • So they could be stopped from training as soon as the Appeals tribunal hands down its decision or be allowed to train until a verdict on their charges is arrived at.
  • Bookies used to survive on mug money. The corporates have siphoned off most of the mug money now.
