  • The voak train has led all of the way 6 times on pinny out of his 13 drives on the horse. The only time he has handed up on him was over the 2900m. Why the heck would he now decide to hand up in a pacing cup and gift the race to jnr? This talk of ta…
  • Probably never. I’m just trying to be diplomatic because jnr is a champion driver. He was either tied down to instructions or simply got it wrong. He is human after all
  • It’s easy to say in hindsight but jnr could have gone to the breeze and then taken cover on kerryn. From the 1x1 he would have been extremely hard to beat. It looked like a pre conceived plan to settle at the back of the field and come with one lat…
  • Wildwest be taking a sit this week? :-S Depends who’s turn it is to win. If the money comes for jack then he leads and wins. If it comes for wildwest then he holds the lead and gets his chance. Handing up last week on wildwest was a joke. He ma…
  • Christ , dont follow Western Aussie pacing much but just watching SKY 1 before the footy comes on and watched GP race 2 . Jesus if you was in the ownership of the fav you'd be ripping your colours off the driver ffs . Ego out of control there bigtim…
  • I feel for Karen Thompson But if you employ monkeys you will end up with peanuts
  • My plain jane will do me fine. Nothing plain about that win. She looked to have the job ahead of her at the 1000m but ended up cruising in. Enjoy the ride with that mare jayjay she definitely has more wins to come.
  • After reading a couple of articles today it looks like old mate Ben yole is on borrowed time. Good riddance…..animal cruelty is not on!!

  • Race 5 at Bunbury tonight it’s happened again!!
  • Hey chariots apart from a match race how often would you have had two horses odds on in the same race back in the day? I don’t ever recall that happening in a full field.
  • In keeping with the odds on Gloucester park theme the last race has thrown up two of them no less. Between the two horses they have a combined 30 starts for one win. And they are both odds on?? Wow!!

  • First 5 races and not one winner in single figure odds. What’s happened to the so called odds on fest?

  • Jawsoflincoln shifts up the track in the straight when he was a beaten animal. Call me a cynic but does he shift up the track if he had a bond horse behind him? Would he shift up the track if the Mrs was running on down the outside? I have no skin i…
  • Yes, it is a very good account of George's life......the good, the brilliant, the bad and the ugly..... there will never be another George. In John hunts book he wrote a fair bit about his dealings with George when he was a budding young racecalle…
  • Jay jay making a habit of winning Busselton cups by massive margins. Hats off to you
  • Speaking of young talented drivers…Kyle symington!! That drive on Chal patch was brilliant You want to talk about top young drivers Liam Elliott will be as good as any in time. Great drive on Hooe
  • He’s entitled to hold the lead ??? Of course he’s entitled to lead. But when your outclassed and then end up tailed off your entitled to say it was poor judgment
  • Speaking of young talented drivers…Kyle symington!! That drive on Chal patch was brilliant
  • Dylan Egerton-Green on Stamford oh boy…. Given the way rumour has it has been going lately and the conditions of the race where it was all about qualifying for the final, his tactics were embarrassing. He’s a good young talent but that drive shows h…
  • 5 horse free for all with decent prize money of $31k is an embarrassment
  • Trent wheeler is by far the most underrated driver in WA. Although he has slowly starting to be more recognised in the last 12 months with more city drives and it is much deserved. On the other hand race 1 at GP a $126 pop is vigorously driven to …
  • I don't mind winner only heats but as I have stated before anything like 1st to 3rd to qualify lends itself to horses being driven to qualify rather than win and opens up a pandoras box. I liked that system to - because it put real pressure on the …
  • Snr did an interview on SEN this morning and spoke extremely well. Said he’s happy to let sleeping dogs lie which is very noble of him given the lack of respect shown to his horse by de campo. Also good to hear de campo very remorseful of his actio…
  • 6 week suspension for de campo. Should have been double that. Reminds me of Greg hall in the golden slipper when he knocked down a couple of horses on the home corner and got a $50k fine. Paid for by Lloyd Williams so virtually no punishment at al…
  • Loyalist will want to hold the lead he has an aggressive driver. The only horse he may hand up to would be magnificent storm. I’m liking prince of pleasure for the place from that soft draw
  • Going to GP tonight for the sole purpose of seeing never ending in the flesh and hoping he lives up to the hype. Can’t remember the last time I went to the trots just to witness a good horse. Working between races last week is surely a good thing f…
  • Basil won't turn up elephants like Kerr did. Argyle Red drawn the pole...does Morgan hold up on him? Lot of the chances drawn out except Mighty Conqueror. Let’s see if team bond can get the tactics right this week I seriously thought I was watching…
  • Just watched race 7 at Cobram today the trot - some young bloke havent heard before - but he sounded ok  Actually his voice - and how he called the race- and level of excitement  ( like mentioning what horses had or were doing today - different - or…
