You can bet your life the minimum would have had more to do with rider availability at that weight more than anything. At anything much lower than apart from young inexperienced apprentices who shouldn't be riding in those races you would be strugg…
-
Agree especially with the minimum being 54kg. The minimum when Saratov went around would have been 51kg I reckon at the absolute highest from memory and that's being very conservative it probably would have been more like 49kg I would think. Not d…

Couldn't agree more Goose, I don't know if they were or not but if other avenues weren't at least explored prior to signing the latest long running contract with Sky someone should be shot.

Rio sorry I meant attitude wise towards their employees which I've experienced firsthand, after realising no matter how hard you worked or how dedicated you were you that you weren't going to be rewarded I couldn't wait to get the hell out of there.
-
When you continually wear down dedicated people who love racing, there's something seriously and inherently wrong ingrained into your business culture.
-
He couldn't wait to leave, morale at the place is terrible, so obviously nothing's changed from years ago.

Mate how's this for clear, you know sweet FA!!! Plus if you had any idea mate is a universal australian colloquialism doubt if you possess the intelligence though to grasp that concept. There's a big difference mate, I was always a good judge but …

I tipped it to him again in the caulfield cup the following year which it also won, think it was only 25/1 that day though mate. The right people know the truth about my form assessment and that's all that matters.
-
I didnt say on Betfair mate what I said was that my mate is arguably the biggest punter on betfair, next time read what has been written I would suggest, he backed viewed in a number of places
-
Yep it was Viewed and there was story about one of his bets on it on racenet at the time
-
BL the start prior when Fenway failed terribly on cup day at caulifled in a run too bad to be true, am pretty sure I read that it suffered cardiac arrhythmia I know because I was on it. I would hardly say btn a lip in a Group 1 WFA Myer classic on …
-
No para it's an Auto Classic or rather was at the time
-
Not to mention Old Comrade was versatile enough to zoom home into 5th in an Oakleigh Plate btn just 2 lengths in the same prep as he won the Australian Cup, freakish horse.
-
Delicacy is good at this stage but Old Comrade was great. Two Kingston Town Classics including the Railway Stakes / Kingston Town double after finishing 2nd to Northerly the previous year in the Railway as a 3yo, 2nd to Northerly in the Group 1 WFA…

Trounced the good lee hope trained mare Fenway in SA , the start prior she had rolled First seal inthe Group1 Arrowfield at rosehill, winx ran 5th in that race. Fenway was then btn a lip in the myers mare classic Group 1 on derby day in the spring, …
-
Oh yeah it's bait now JJ is it mate, nothing like a blatant attempt to save face now is there, seriously I find it hilarious that a grown man can't admit publicly when he's wrong. I guarantee if one of those milk drinkers had won the Cup you would …
-
It used to be that I couldn't wait for Perth Cup day and to get out there, now you could barely drag me out there if I didn't have to go for some reason or another.
-
DS I did the same with the cleaner a couple of years ago in the Railway said it couldn't possibly win and hardly surprisingly there was nothing but the sound of crickets afterwards from the same sort of people such as your good self, so it doesn't …

The winter staying programs at Belmont used to be the highlight of racing at that time of the year but when you systematically set out to dismantle the staying calendar this is the result.
-
Where are the Meliador's, the Moss Kingdom's, the Linc the Leopard's, Phizam's, Mirror Magic's etc, etc,etc Damien without Bob's participation the Cup would have been a joke and incredibly some want to knock Pikes, Williams, Peters etc and begudge t…
-
Well whoever dismantled the staying program for starters Damien, having a Perth Cup over 3200m people had some incentive to buy and went out and bought quality horses for the cup. If there was actually some encouragement for staying programs and f…
-
Youknowit Yeah mate I do because I'm damn good at it, come to me when your best mate arguably betfairs biggest punter wins a millions bucks on the Melbourne Cup because you correctly marked a horse 14's in your market when it was 50's and tipped it…
-
Anyone who thinks any jockey is going to worry about the ludicrous whip rules on Saturday is seriously delusional, stewards here have paid zero attention to them and rightfully so, they're a disgrace. Apart from Bobs horses and one or two others yo…
-
Give me a break mate you know zero about me, I've tried to get things changed for decades for the better and for my constructive criticism and for having the audacity to tell the truth, I lost five years of my life and have had my employment prospec…
-
No I'm just saying admission prices are a joke. It's a very tough economy for people. It should always be run on January 1 (thought that point was crystal clear) and it should always be 3200m and there should be a proper staying program in WA to e…
-
I wouldn't have potentially put people lives in jeopardy either by running the opening meeting at ascot nor would I have been amateurish enough to attempt to conceal what was wrong with the track and spray paint grass etc but hey each to their own.
-
Wouldn't be running the Perth Cup on January 2nd for starters, nor charging $35 bucks for a very substandard Perth Cup not that I care as it makes it far easier from a punting viewpoint with very, very, few winning chances. $35 buck to bake in 37 de…
-
Amy in case you haven't noticed on here I'm not reporting, I stated categorical fact mate not opinion, ask any jockey or trainer with half a brain the standard of horses is poor and getting worse that's not opinion it's fact, apart from those Bob an…
-
As I explained earlier DS this is the consequence of a severe deterioration (see below) in the overall quality of horse racing here and also when you deliberately go out of your way to discourage staying races by systematically dismantling the stayi…

DS, it's called calling like it is, it's exactly what a good journalist is supposed to do, unlike the majority of the sycophants here. Dumb would be a journo saying in writing he wouldnt bother feeding half a Perth Cup field. Way to go
