That Prince of Wales would have to have been the worst Gr 3 field in Australia this year. Please!
-
It's interesting that when Golden River first paid $50M to Perth Racing for the Belmont land, that the club retired debts of $12M, yet in this report I note that a further $1.634M has been spent again on Belmont redevelopment costs. Not one shovel …

The mandate of the WATC should be to preserve the legacy created by previous generations and to nurture and advance the sport thoroughbred racing in WA. To set a vision for the future to ensure a strong and viable racing industry for all participant…

Agree falcon, unfortunately it won't happen. WATC committee are seemingly untouchable, they operate in a polar opposite universe, they stick together so that nothing sticks or gets stuck to them. They'll make someone take the fall for this while the…

Buck stops with the WATC President & committee. Bet they never missed a beat in the committee room. Blow torch should be on them.
-
Odds on they didn't stop serving free food and drinks up in the committee room after the meeting was abandoned. Would've been some serious buckpassing going on up there. Wonder where it stopped? "An act of God"?

"whether he has 1 or 7 in the race, isn't an issue". Thats true Rio, my point is why would you feel the need to complain about the handicapper doing something he is within his rights to do. Wouldn't you feel inclined with 6 other runners to just acc…

Your missing the point. Who would complain when you have 6 runners in the race, regardless of ratings. Darkshines, Sentenza must have been twice as "arsey" as 95% of horses to race. He won 2 stakes races. Now that is pure arse!

Its like the carousel at the Perth Zoo!

HUUUUUUUUUGE track bias at Belmont

The Troy Turner curse, once put on a horse it's on for life. :(

That's what happens to a man after a while up here. You get mean, real mean. :twisted:

Black Tom! Are you guys crazy. He got beaten in a maiden at Pinjarra by Thermo King! Send him up here to me in Vietnam, my water buffalo needs a spell & I've got rice paddies that need ploughing. Black Tom, ha, you guys .

Could not agree more. He made what appeared just another average cups race into something special. Even Darren's call had an excitement to it because Danny gave him something to get excited about. We all forget sometimes about the entertainment that…

I've seen Claity go white before, there was a day at Belmont when him & the Pontif had a stoush. RIP Jack (Thermo King). :roll:

"If you were watching the AFL (spring carnival at Flemington), then obviously you'd expect to see less mistakes and incompetence." The reality of that statement is that you have to prove yourself to get to ride at Flemington in Spring. You have be …

There is a lack of homework done by many jockeys here, but that's not unexpected as if they were all like Craig Williams they would be on the bigger stage. I've rarely heard a jockey say "this is what we should do" here, they go around & if they…

RIP Like an Eagle :cry:

Any news on the horse after the fall tonight?

Couldn't agree more Damien, biggest racing day of the year. Couldn't arrange an ice cream licking comp in the middle of summer.
-
That's a fair call Falcon, JT was a very good apprentice in what was probably the strongest draft of apprentices WA has ever seen, Taylor, M. Pateman, Barnett, Leunig, Grigsby, Webster Jnr, Damien & Jason Oliver were about to join in. That was t…

Rod Kemp John Wilson Ses had as much ability as anyone but got a little 'distracted' at times Mark Grigsby could ride JJ Miller rode for Bart which speaks for itself Jim Taylor Albie Smith

He does have a point. At Flemington for example last Saturday on a Dead 4 they had 2 1400m races. The last, Race 9 was run in 1.22.92. That's the equivalent of 21 lengths faster than Race 3 at Ascot today. They also ran the last 600m sub 35.00. We a…

Even rumours and innuendo bring down the whole sport and all who are involved. It tarnishes those who maintain their honor via sheer hard work within the industry. There should be HUGE penalties for doping of any kind. Anyone can make an honest mist…

Don't read it then Wilson if your bored. Perhaps you could forward a list of topics that can be discussed so that we don't bore you.
