Well, I probably could...... if I had a spare couple of hours but I suspect most are imported. And I also suspect that without imports, our breeding stats have fallen to such levels that they can't sustain a viable horse population. I foresee a poss…

Im not into the different handicapping systems But Ark is an interesting example Ex WA horse had over 40 starts in WA for 3 different trainers and didnt record a single win Friday night - 1st up at Newcastle in a NR Up to 47 RBD ( whatever that …

Field selection points don’t need to be over complicated metro is handicapper or field selection panel selected anyway so the field selection points only factor in country races therefore they don’t need to be higher in metro as that causes a bias t…

But under dollars earned last 3 you are guaranteed to get a draw if you need one to be competitive, under random draws you might go 100 races and draw outside 5 in all of them! If you program a race for HWOE$6K $L3 and a split grade HWOE$6K-$15K Pr…

61 pacers going around at Pinjarra today....and the Suvaljko family (Shannon, Callan, Emily, Joey and Daniel) will be steering almost 25% of them. Some dynasty. Country Derby wise, the Great Southern Derby programmed for Narrogin in a fortnight (bei…

Interesting, the WA Media Guild Tips posted on HRA yesterday, containing the commentary of Wishart and Havercroft on the Conditioned Pace, disappeared last night and haven't reappeared this morning. Obviously, technical difficulties being experience…

Had a e/w bet on Rousey ( EX WA ) tonight at Penrith at the $9 - got a wide gate ,- but its up against a couple of 2 years olds ( can you believe it ) who head the market I watched a few of its replays last night - and what these ex WA horses ar…

Too too too many horses in $12-25k bracket. It needs to be split to $12-18 and 18-25k. Bonds won 30something races in May yet in an upcoming no wins in last5 race, noms are being split 3 ways because of how many horses are in this bracket. No one …

We heard theyre closing more country tracks. Trainers in those towns cant travel to GP every week. The trainer pool is going to get smaller and smaller and smaller. Rid the sport of its grass roots and itll fall down. which tracks would they be cl…

Haven’t heard much on this topic for a while ,will there be an update on the Handicapping models impact ,they were meant to be releasing an updated review before covid 19 hit ,other changes were touted to be in the process of being implemented ,does…

I was barracking for you @aussiebattler but not a bad effort in defeat from Barney in any case. Thanks curmudgeonTrained and driven a treat by Aiden very happy with the way he is going

Suits me as just spelled 2yo gives them time to develop a little and maybe return to race at end of year

Should be Australia wide by the look of it coming from HRA would be a matter of adjusting some settings on Harvey (Harnessweb) for both handicapping systems to compute the change

Regardless of horseIf contacting sulky (potentially causing it to over race ) doesn’t bother the trainer ,with the trainer therefore not attributing contacting the sulky to the reason for the poor performance ,It shouldn’t be used as a cause or not…

TTMYM contacted own sulky and over raced,how long can that continue to happen before fines are handed out. would probably over race even if not contacting sulky

I tell you what Jay Jay and Curmudge wouldnt be out of place driving at Mildura tonight Because of the restrictions - there are quite a few old time trainers having their 1st race drive for years and in multiple races Talk about rusty - im not bag…

Just looking at the fields at Bunbury - and ive broken the golden rule and had a couple of bets their But their is a couple of nice races - both 30k races - the Narrogin Country WA Derby and the Narrogin Pacing Cup - and they are both being held at…

Should WA have gone along the same lines of NSW with regionalisation ,at the moment people still travel the state to get to where they need to Ravensthorpe to Bunbury is approx 6 hours travel or more one way as an example many trainers still having …

I’ve got to give some kudos to a very good Great Southern driver in Shane Butterworth. His drive on Alta Camino in the first at Collie today was outstanding. He knew that the horse he was driving had the ability over his rivals, but was having troub…

For his drive on Sir Galahad in early Feb. It wasnt the reason he didnt drive KOS as he had a 9 day deferment to allow him to drive that night if needed. SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT Gloucester Park 7 February 2020 On Thursday 27th February 2020, Stewards c…

Disappointed that Albany season is over from a punting perspective: Observations of the season: My winning strike on selections was 50%Form is very consistent with only a few winning chances in most racesThe same non competitive horses start droppin…

Look, probably like yourself, I race horses to enjoy the racing, to go to the track no matter where and be involved under whatever regime is in place....to repeat a very corny cliche, to "enjoy the raceday experience" and the parry and thrust associ…

That's okay, it is where he would have deserved to have been. The current deal (Group PBD and RBD) puts horses where they don't deserve to be eg Touch Of Success....it is a raffle and is far removed from "handicapping" as you can get. hypothetical…
-
Not sure why I’m giving input was going to step back from commenting on either system as it’s like no ones listening ,said that to a former trainer today he said don’t waste your time hasn’t changed in 30 years they’ll never listen lol
-
I agree, that would be better...but the GPPBD races may still end up as quasi RBD's given the noms that applied to Friday nights race (appro pro that farcical Pinjarra Cup day "FFA" Trotters race ). Doesn't solve the void in the 70 to 100k bracket..…

Genuine inquiry, the FFA this Friday night, race 4. Advetrised as a Level 15 GPPBD/HWOE.....no horse in the field has a HWOE of greater than $150k. They have published two tables in the handicapping rules referring to FFA racing (Level 15)....Table …
