Well before my time Falcon. But the end result is a superior result. I will check on GR contribution to the Perth Cup.
-
Rio, your comment on $200 debt is not right as we made a positive $3m in cash profits. The loss was after non cash depreciation. But do agree that on a holistic economic basis we went backwards.
-
falcon, would you rather the Belmont Development or a facility 30km south of Perth of the freeway? Everything PR has achieved is without Gov't support. Perhaps if we were like rugby, cricket, car racing, netball, swimming etc ( ie stuffed) we might …

Yes, I am a Committeeman. I've been on the Committee for a year and I believe Diva has been bookmaking for longer than that. You are right about the taxis. We are looking at subsidising them as an additional incentive to come to Ascot. Seems like a …

Rio, the loss of $557k is after depreciation. I think the cash profit exceeded $3m. The reality is that we need to spend $3m to $4m to keep facilities at a reasonable standard given the age of the facilities (I am not suggesting that we keep them in…
-
Will check figures. That's why I asked Diva to confirm. Even if you are right on $1.6 m ten years ago and today about 10% of that amount that is a seriously deterioration in anyone's book. How does any business survive a 90% drop in revenue against …

Given the various experts on this site it is surprising that there is not a better appreciation of the current business environment associated with racing clubs. Just to give a little insight, some 10 years ago Perth Racing was receiving circa $4m i…

Theodor Posts: 100 October 21 +1 -1 +1 Rio and other members, come along to the AGM. Prior to that have a read of the Annual Report. There was a good discussion on how we would spend the funds at the last Members Breakfast Liaison Session. Alo…

We are supporting FG as one would expect. Some of the mares we are sending include: Miss Vinnoire, Snug Buggles, Pillow Time, Sky Drama, Steely Gaze, Parole (dam of Offenders etc) and 3 other stakes performers acquired overseas. All are stakes perfo…

A really good list of nominations. PR is extremely pleased. Obviously needs to convert into acceptances, but hey, if they had not nominated they could not accept.

I reckon 500M make still be too close. Will have to have a chat with the lads

may even buy you a drink Rio if you are nice to me

RAC, perhaps if you read my post a bit closer "the reasons for a lack of action" is clearly stated. Where do we get the $6m to $8m?
-
Gannon's have always provided excellent service to me. Lets support the local guy.
-
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 o…

And back to the thread. Dick Turpin and Frost Giant are both exciting stallion prospects and it would be great for mare owners to support them. You hope that one will become the next Metal Storm. Sorry, being too positive! Eddie Rigg and Ron Sayers …

Walk by my side

Bugger, I forgot that facts are not allowed. I outlined facts, nothing more. Hey Tivers, why stop at 90% of my bank balance. I am a complete moron for what a commit to this industry. But you only live once. At least I am not one of the negative goon…
-
Cheers Tivers. Very unexpected but you need some luck and positive surprises given the disappointments one endures in this game. For Scenic11's and RIO's benefit Frost Giant has some 27% stakes performers to runners and average earnings of about US…

Yes Andrew, I don't think the average person realises all these different brands are owned by the WA TAB.
-
So why so much advertising by betting agencies? All about brand
-
I would imagine that ultimately there will be savings, not cost. Cheaper and more efficient to promote one brand not 4 brands.
-
Frost Giant had 4 individual new winners last weekend. On an AEI basis now 2nd best rated stallion globally for oldest runners being 3 year olds. Makes the likes of Northern Meteor and Sebring look like hacks. I obviously have a personal interest in…

Oh what a trainer. Very happy owner of Mr Vadim. Peter really believed the horse had a chance today. I wasn't so confident. Great ride where the jockey listened to the trainer. Mr Vadim is a difficult horse to ride and needs a long reign and allowed…
-
Best this comment be recorded for all time. Damian, I agree with you. The number of confusing brands in WA was hindering our industry. Was it ozbet? Was it player? Was it WA TAB? Was it RWWA? I had no idea. We now have one name that will simplify an…
-
I will ask John Doherty. I think he looks after Westspeed. You may be right.
-
Thumper, you have no idea. Breeders make money. You are kidding. Few breeders left, why? Just a bottomless pit. Just think where the industry would be if people weren't prepared to lose $500k a year to provide horses to bet on? No one in their right…
-
We are now 2013/14. I can't see where the bonuses are outlined for the current season but I believe Westspeed has been increased to $100k
-
Ngawyni, I understand with the increase to $100k for listed races the Westspeed bonus is now paid to $100k and not $99k. Also the Magic Million races are now Restricted Listed. This adds significant value to the horse in question and its family. Mea…
