  • Betfair today Labor $1.21 Coalition $5.50. Coalition in freefall. I did call it way back that Albo would start at the price  of an Emma Stewart trained pacer  However i am surprised the latest odds , and i think you have to look at individual seats …
  • Race 2 at Penrith tonight the ex WA Pacer Desiderio it blew from $8.50 to $16 , yes i had a small e/w bet on it at the $14  But they should show the vision of that race to not just inexperienced junior drivers , but to quite a few senior drivers whe…
  • Matt Hill , yes he calls the races nicely , i sung his praises a couple of years ago how he called a Melb Cup , 1st class  However he has got a weakness , hes like a top order batsmen , a bit suspect to the rising ball on about off stump  And that i…
  • Albo is a stone cold certainty , his true price is like one of those Emma Stewart trained pacers , about $1.12 . Unless Albo basically gets caught with his hands in the till , then Dutton has got no hope  Dutton is making the same mistakes Bill Shor…
  • Are Vic Trots stony broke  Today at Maryborough ( and this is also happening at Geel frid nights and Ballarat and Bendigo where it is a mixture of of both 4k and 6 k races ) all 7 races today are 4k races  Goulburn in NSW have 9 races at 9.8k a race…
  • Yes , just the one e/w bet for me tonight at GP  Race 7 , horse 12 Beatitlikebeca @  $7 E/W It is a bit immature the horse but i liked its run 2 starts back  3rd in a touch over 1.56 , the others havent gone anywhere near that quick  I think the fav…
  •  Talking about GP - Hayden King had a ripper feature article in Wed West  Aust on Greg Bond with plenty of quotes - one on stable star Minstrel re the 1.25 million Nullabor , which caught my eye " His form in the East was superb and now hes back on …

  • Yes very good Chariots i read the full article  Can someone put the names to the faces in that main picture so i know who they are please  Nice to see Bob Pollock admitted to the hall of fame , people today have got these shocking overbearing graffi…
  • 2  Tips for me tonight Bunbury Race 4 no 11 Betterthan Secret  @ $21 EW  good run at Northam last start in good time Newcastle in NSW the last race  no 7 , the Rickie Alchin trained Hunger Strike @ $11 EW , pretty keen on this , the 2 equal even mon…
  • Best Miracle Mile ive ever seen  , when Popular Alm and Gammalite  2 absolute superstars , heavyweights clashed at HP  And you could not script the race any better , turning for home GammalitE leading by about a neck , i can remember the course comm…
  • Today- Sunday at Williams , just one e/w bet for me  Race 3 , horse 6  Candillo @ $34 , did a power of work last start against horses like Eyre Better , only got beaten about 20 metres  Drawn to get a very soft run today , thus could be a knock out …
  • Captain Hammerhead  $12.30 , once it led as good as Swayzee is i didnt think  it could beat it around Albury  Tremendous race tho , tremendous Country Cups concept plus huge bonuses and a tremendous crowd , which the participants would really enjoy …
  • Very quiet on this Trots forum so i will put a little bit of content  Most exciting race this weekend i think is the 60k Albury Pacing Cup - Swayzee has got a guarnteed NSW Country Cups bonus already of 250k - it doubles to 500k if it can win the Al…
  • Given what Trump has said , i think Albo has done very well with that phone call and i think Trump will grant the exemptions  Personally im not Liberal or Labor but i think Albo deserves another term - world inflation existed everywhere when he came…
  • Lovely big picture of Don Hugo in todays West Australian Luke McCarthy in the cart - looks like hes got the old Snakes and Ladders colours on , Luke even looks quite similiar in appearance to the young bloke at the time who drove that pacer 
  • Well they want to be very careful with that , well probably not in slack old WA , but in other states where the rules are applied with a bit of force In Vic a couple of years ago , M Bellman an ok freelance driver , i think it was at Geelong , and a…
  • Ive been consistent in my view all along that handicapping systems have very little  affect on Trots turnover  One thing i would possibly look at - last Sunday i think it was i was betting on a few Swan Hill Trots races , and on my computer i caught…
  • Qld Trots seem to be getting a big mention in this thread Looking at Albion Park race 5 tonight , id love someone to bring  some of that that beautiful cooling rain accross to Perth with them  as we brace ourselves for basically 6 days of 40 in a ro…
  • Okay Einstein, I am open to suggestions as to how to present more than 3 weeks of data when it has only been in operation for 3 weeks? Jeepers, I am starting to think John Cleese was absolutely spot on. you don't present it ?? You wait for reasona…
  • Some fantastic bonus prizemoney coming up tonight for the champ Swayzee , under that brilliant NSW Country Cup concept/series , and the only reason they have that  rich Country Cups series , is they sold HP and that funded it and plenty of other thi…
  • I remember Darren Binskin driving his first winner at Rockhampton in the late 70s .. I think it was Eva Thor , Paleface Adios was in the race also. .I dont remember them racing there since the 2000s.. I can remember Darren Binskin many many years ag…
  •  I watched that Shepparton Gold Pacing Cup live , and Brittany Graham post race was right onto it  The 1st thing she said ( and she didnt say it in a spiteful manner ) she just said outstanding run by the " winner " which it was and gee David Moran …
  • John Kennedy was a big bookmaker at Harold Park  Very surprised , read about him 20-30 years ago i think he had a science degree , so highly educated , but he was a smoker , i just wouldnt have put those 2 things together with him  The stress , the …
  • Race 6 at Dubbo tonight run about 6 minutes ago , if the winner isnt disqualified then Trotting should be closed down Aust wide ,  Its an interim result at this stage that is all it is saying 
  • Mate , just tell us what he bloody said , please 
  • I also think Ryan Bell spoke alot of sense within the same discussion on Facebook must say I agree with alot he had to say aswell Can you give a brief summary of the main points he said  I for one would be interested what a prominent WA Trainer had …
  • Re Asian Beau , was Malcolm Brown the footballer involved in that horse in some capacity , ownership or did he broker the sale  What im going on ( no lazy cheating google with me ) is i think Trevor Jenkins when he was hosting the Racing Radio early…
  • Shocking scenes at the Richmond Greyhound Club , for a fun kids Xmas meeting  Modern society is just the utter pitts re the out of hand violence etc 
  • In the last race at Redcliffe tonight - the interestingly named no 9 horse Bold Personality 
  • Glamour not so much a family day as opposed to a enthuisiests day. When you actually had to go to the track to see the best at the time horses and jockeys. By memory JJ Miller had a good record in the Aust derby possibly winning 4 or 5 It was a gre…
