No Mailman, it is maybe more like the same human nature principle, of why we buy a a garland from a cripple or drop a coin in the blind fiddler's case - hell man we's sorry for ya' - it's not your fault that you can't get two words to sit nicely …

I only caught the end of the race as the(sic) were turning for home ...gee you have done well to comment on the runs of all those without seeing them !
-
WALDPARK at its very best would be a tepid chance - - but non winner since mid 2011 and beaten by 90 raters since here. No chance.
-
wow - just had a look and some really interesting stuff - not sure that everyone realises that in the main, they are Public comments.

Yep i should of put my house on it!!!! :-O ETHIOPIA -in the CCup, bar plates off - are we on it or more off it ?
-
DANDINO has raced very well in four countries ( HK, UK, GER, CAN ) at Group 1 level - he is very well in at the weight carrying the same as the winner of one race ( Ethiopia) and only 1kg more than Mr Moet a domestic performer unplaced outside of …

Night racing is something for the future. Indicative costs for lights is in the range of $6m to $8m. Hopefully we can incorporate into the Belmont Re-Development. Absolutely agree it will be a winner if we can run in conjunction with Singapore and …

Cliff Pannam, who enjoyed a bet, but I don't know if he still does,used to defend people against the Stewards. Interesting that he switched sides. :-S his defense goes back to the Casterton Royal School and Regal Vista ring in - "the" ring in !
-
well documented that he simply forgot (excuse:- travelling on a plane at the time of close of acceptances)
-
WIZZY - AD forgot to accept for the Herbert Power !

For those who like to stretch the good ole WA patriotism to all sorts of lengths, there is a WA connection in the Dandino gang. Good luck to em! Australian Thoroughbred B'Stock (Mgr D & E Dance), Merlin B'Stock, I Hicks, C S…

Someone put a bundle on Mr Moet and the booky now has his price at 20-1 ...won't finish in top 5 with the handicap - conceding weight to the likes of Hawkspur , Fawkner et al . ... got belted last start by average horses and never won at the distan…
-
Ora Dare is a great example of how to maximise return without burning points Got to agree this horse has been beautifully placed - so not all horses are harshly treated and the old principle applies - If you race out of the handicap - you get pena…

My question now would be: "WAS THE (RWWA initiated) FORUM WORTH IT?"
-
Louie Luciani and Dallas - pretty big numbers & winners for a fair few years !
-
Lame- so true -would be wonderful - but you ask Why we don't - the answer: inertia, parochialism, bureaucracy and a massive fear of OCHealth - NSW just 'licensed " Fernhill ( outside of Sydney ) as a Picnic venue to have its first meeting on 9t…
-
...super pic - good promo tool for each owner's horses to be highlighted against a B&W field.
-
......surely if the rail is out 3metres then the barrier should move forwards - so if they take it back 10m for race 4 ( and the correct start posi for 3m for 1110m ) - its means that the starter has actually started race one, forward of the pro…
-
yes the rail is out, but that is irrelevant, because they are races from the same meeting over the 'same' distance supposedly. if race 1 is 1300(or 1310!!!) then race 4 is a lot greater than 1300(or 1310) Nah Damo wrong presumption it was the sam…

Chels' TOPKAPI was a brown horse - TANGIERS was the same owner's grey but a sprint/middle horse
-
Falc u would remember this, its in your timeline "Nhargo" (spelling not sure). Jock Campbell, Tiger Moore and old Furza Brady. Way b4 my time ...Jock and Furzer had one which only tried 6 times in 35 starts - and won six races - LORD FERMOY
-
can't agree with you - SING and HK cater to their customer and reap the benefits. Not all others charge for access to sectional times - take Japan for instance - they have individual horses break down times/ speed/ distance traveled as well as a myr…

1. How long have you been a member? 2. Do you read the race day previews? (Either in the forum or on the main site) 3. How could they improve? 4. What other racing content would you like to see, or see more of? 5. Do you participate in the competit…
-
yes Gild'y very poor form for the rules to permit this - as you say - "perception" and a bad perception outweights any reality !
-
..oh dear ....even if on the best horse - you still have to rate it in front...shame on you G Hall !
-
why should we have to pay? The race courses need our support but they don't support us. Righto. I would agree that we all want every possible race form, stats, and data for any race in Australia, but you might also understand that there is administ…
-
Not sure if people knew this but the winner of the Herbert Power Stakes is not only guaranteed a start in the Caulfield Cup and exempt from the Caulfield Cup order of entry/ballot but also (and this is the good bit), the winner of the Herbert Power …
-
now definitely go to the pub bondy..where is that bitch raco when you get on a streak like this??? gee - #1 had three winners yesterday and today's #2 - one winner and two long shot places that's 25% wins with no study - not bad !
-
Just worked out a great way to pick winners - my 12 year old chose #1 to follow yesterday and threw up 3 winners- today she says"... it's #2 turn !"
