Acting in the best interests of members is what we do and that's what we have done. Come a long to the next members liaison meeting and ask whatever you want. I noticed you weren't at the last one.

A crate holds 3 boxes. A crate costs $12k. 3 boxes full means $4k per horse. 2 boxes means $6k per horse. 1 horse costs $12k. The air transport charges by space hence why it is around a crate.

I'm not going to rehash what I have already stated in this thread but wish to address misstatements by others. PR will not be taking on any debt associated with the new build. Total cost will be about $80m, this includes a contingency. The new bui…

You basically pay by the crate. A crate costs $12k and can take 3 horses. If you have only one horse it is therefore $12k. My view is PP is worth more than $250k if she can win a group race over East. The way I look at it is that I rated Bliss Str…

Falcon, we crossed over in cyber space. Perhaps you give me a call. I will need to check quantum of sponsorship but it was large. Tenders are for 3 years. Van guard was by far and away best quote last time. Next call for tenders will be in about 18 …

Just logging off. I'm at the beach house and starting a game of 500 with the family. Good luck. Cheers

Falcon, come along to the 3 May meeting and ask the questions. I'm happy enough for people to use my name but when you do, disclose who you are.

Fast Money, have you been to Next Gen at Kings Park? People also like going to quality lounges, restaurants and bars. We will have 8,000 people ultimately living around the race course and another 12,000 across the road in the casino precinct. Not e…

Dale, you have NFI. 12 months of careful planning and reviewing race courses and sports stadiums around Australia tells me that the new purpose built facility will be sensational. Beats a refurbishment of a disgraceful grandstand.
-
No pokies but wouldn't mind them. Bars, restaurants, lounges and health club. The health club will be of a similar standard to Next Gen at Kings Park. So people don't start bagging the health club, this is being funded by GRD and is part of the reas…

Slipper, 5 years a go our non race day income was less than $200k. Within 5 years we expect this to exceed $5m. This year we will approach $2m.
-
Sorry to upset some people here, but no one I know on the committee wanted to refurb the existing building. It was just a very sensitive matter that required a number of other parties and authorities to agree that it makes most sense to bull doze th…

No debt will be taken on by PR to build the new facilities. It will be about 7 metres closer to the track and simply sensational. Still getting final approvals. Will be a venue that is open 7 days a week for as much as 18 hours a day. Capacity about…

Interestingly, from the feedback work PR does, one of the real positives of going to the races (and I believe this to be world-wide) is the opportunity to frock up for the ladies. And for us blokes (and I believe this to be universal as well), is ch…

Muskets are starting to fire. Watch out for Wargamer

I'm not sure where all these conspiracy theories come from. I believe very few breeders use anabolic steroids to enhance their yearlings. Geisel Park Stud never has and nor has Yarradale. I would be confident that none of the breeders who share the …

PT, you and the Chairman sing from the same hymn sheet. He is always on about improving the dress sense. I am hoping we will see an improvement with the Trainers. This group is important for setting standards in the Mounting enclosure.

On the sound system, what we want to put in place is far more complex than at any other stadium in WA. We need the ability to have different races at different sound levels at multiple locations all playing at the same time. We have approached all t…
-
I will make sure the marketing guys at PR read this thread. I personally like the Bali theme but lots of people, especially on this forum, don't want the yobbos attending the races. I love Bali and go most years but hey, everyone has their own prefe…

Westspeed needs fixing up. The scheme does not not do what it was suppose to do (when instigated many years ago), and that is "to nurture the WA breeding industry". It needs to have a sire aspect and mares need to be at least 50% owned by WA breeder…
-
Geez Rio, you are playing with fire with some of the forum members who think PR should be there for all race goers not just members. We would love to make more changes but most members don't like change. They will happen but with respect to older me…
-
PT, there will be a new sound system in at Ascot prior to next season. Replacing the current one is not only expensive (circa. $500k) but very complex. Have experts from across the country advising us on this. Happy for any constructive ideas on mar…
-
Rio, Top deck will be reserved solely for members as will another floor and for big days at Belmont we will be able to use the convention centre area. Will be no problems for members. Will be a venue where one can go any day for a drink and chat wit…
-
LLS, you have sighted our plans!! Yep, looking at having a ripper top deck at Belmont. Expect PR to make formal announcement in late January or February about new and much better plans for Belmont. Really special. Perth Cup went well. Very comforta…
-
Rio, I do hear you. I think a lot of people liked his call and the mention of the birthday. Even though it has nothing to do with me or even PR, I will suggest that he waits until after the race to add entertainment. Wall to wall racing makes it har…
-
Belmont facilities are crap Youknowit. Hence why they are being replaced. Ascot is ok.
-
Damian, you are a blight on our industry. Always negative unless it involves self promotion. I know I should not stoop to this level but only way to communicate with you. You have never bought a horse off me so why would anything change.
-
Hey Rio, this has nothing to do with being a committeeman. IMO Macca is a top caller and he continues to be the best in the game IMO. What has that got to do with not showing respect to owners and punters? You joining your mate Damian in the goose s…

Macca is an outstanding caller IMO. I reckon the Wilson family will long remember the call well after all the small minded people forget who came 3rd or 4th. Macca helped make it a special moment!
