Thought it was Go And Get Freeforaller. Well i do apologise to Jay Jay - i was rude and shouldnt have said it - no excuse but i think it is a reflection of how aggressive society is , and how many times i have been told to feck off , get out of t…

You say retired jockeys , well Harry White when he passed away he left $500,000 to Jockeys in need . Peter Crackers Keenan was Harrys best mate and i heard Crackers say that Kahu Mahunga was no flash fighter and he floored Mundine , and from that m…

Following on from that Jay Jay , it would be good reading if you had access to the following figures Re Ascot , what they pay out in Stakemoney and the return they are getting re Turnover , like you do with GP . On face value you would think Asco…

Kahu Mahunga gave Tony Mundine a reputation that he had a glass jaw , and he did , and that haymaker destroyed Mundines career

What would it be , 90% of all harness racing tracks Aust wide have got a sprint lane - so the driver leading around the final turn doesnt give 2 hoots if he drifts out in the straight , thus when they go back to GP ( with no sprint lane ) maybe they…

Yes well done to Warren in race 10 Just looked up all the results from GP last night - And the last race a half head by a half head by a head I think Warrens luck is in

Re , a couple of points made by previous posters Junior Drivers , i agree the 250 winners is mile too high - i was wondering why some of them particularly in Vic seem to be concession drivers for ever . Idont know the system in Vic , but they seem …

It is time for me to ride off into the sunset so far as social media is concerned. Good luck to all. Easy to know what your all time favourite movie would be Chariots After reading your post , it would have to be that 1950s classic Western , " Shan…

Re the Gallops propping up Trotting and have for decades Maybe that comes into play big time with the 8 gallops trainers ( that it is a huge turning point ) and WA Trotting ends up on its knees That just might be a good thing , because sometimes …

Anyone who puts that much effort into previewing the Friday GP Card - then you have to give them a like Pity some other forum members dont do the same Who knows VK might put the pads and gloves on and make a comeback

Robbo , are you talking turnover for the Corps or TAB Turnover . Please call him Warren thankyou Because when you say Robbo , i immediately think of that semi alcoholic peanut Victorian based AFL football commentator , and i havent had the disple…

The same thing happened last Sat night, the 75k Bendigo Pacing Cup ( run at Melton because of the bushfires ) was run over 1720 metres , Bulletproof Boy went back to back

The best handicapping system in my opinion rewards potential owners big time , if they put their hands deeply into their pockets and buy Aust Bred yearlings Anyone who has bought them - and i have knows how risky a financial route that is - like yo…

Just my opinion im entitled to but in following trotting for 60 years odd , and allways enjoyed/loved the Pacing/Trotting But those 1100 metre races are the biggest joke biggest disgrace biggest blight on the industry ever , i only watched the repl…

Like they say GTC there are 3 sides to every story Yours - theirs ( Jay Jay ) and the truth

What id give for the WA Trots media to have a few members with a bit of get up and go , and a bit of bottle in them , like the Kiwi press after they held an interdominion their back in 1979 This is what the Kiwi press said , courtesy of the May …

@Markovina do you bet for a living? Many years ago for about 4-5 years i pro punted i made a living for about 5 years very late 70s to early mid 80s and i loved doing it , all the Ascot races were on Channel 7 , Jimmy Chadwick the caller , so i use …

I was going to let Markovina's comments pass, but I feel obliged to defend his denigration of Keith Slater.I am assuming the six game league player was directed at me and I am fair game in that regard.Keith Slater represented WA in three sports Foot…

The "some bloke who played 6 games" (Bonny Sweetapple) actually played 160 league games. The "someone who played 1 test for Australia and got called" played 74 state games for WA, top score 154. He also played 218 league games for Swans, 3 premiersh…

Crowds at Busso have been enormous over Boxing Day and New Years Day but they make it terribly hard for them by flooding the calendar with meetings for the lower class horses at Albany, Gloucester Park etc....strangling them to a slow death. They (R…

Bushbookie and Riders, I have a rough idea of how concession betting works but as my old man never did it, I'm no expert in it. I always knew that 4/1 straight out became 5/2 concession. So Bush bookie is correct. I used to bet with Bob Howatt in Pe…

Yes pidddly cost cutting ridiculous stuff by C Brown And Jay Jay herculian owner and all the rest of it , you might have some trouble with those blokes on the gate , because after reading your post , my sharp brain and brilliant memory instantly …

Maybe a few dollars spent on maintenance to make it a safe place to take families. No Handicap No Turnover No GP. Maybe GP the run down condition of it ( and perhaps its demise ) is the Royal Melb Showgrounds mark 2 ( this was right at the end when …

Fair Crac. your all over it. Had little chuckle. Legendary Harness Driver Trainer Brain Hancock featured in tape on how and why he feed his horses he used Jimmy crack corn, Pollard lurcene, rolled oats,etc why it was good for them and his success…

At least Peter Oneill is doing his best to revive some interest at GP with Family Fun Fridays in January. At least Peter Oneill is doing his best to revive some interest at GP with Family Fun Fridays in January. What is the concept behind that - ca…

There is no "fatal flaw" in someone having an opinion that differs from someone else's opinion. There is a "fatal flaw" in professing zero bias as opposed to everyone else's flawed objectivity. I can say a lot of things "emphatically" and they could…

All due respects to Markovina he was a very good horse but not in the same league as Pure Steel. PS was not the fastest horse but the best by a margin. Your probably right re Pure Steel v Markovina I liked Markovina because it was sit sprinter , i …
