Your probably right Jay Jay , ive jumped the gun and just assumed it was Dont Retreat

I will post it under this thread seeing its the status of the industry Ive bought a couple of Aust harness racing magazines only $15 each and looking forward to receiving them its called Harness horse , the 1st one in 1979 has got a great colour p…

All those on course pre race interviews i dont like any of them , whether they are at AP Menangle , Melton , GP or whether , they are awkward Glen Douglass years back when he was driving , he had the best response to a possible pre race intervi…

I see Michael Tenardi won another race yesterday in NSW this time at Wagga , it was $31 but it was in a slippery field , came from last at the top of the straight - even though Wagga is a big track you dont see many do that their , its form prior wa…

Re the pre race on track interviews at GP - i totally agree with Jay Jay , they are just an absolute waste of time And in my opinion which im entitled to , the worst pre race interviewer at GP by the length of the Randwick straight was Panda simpl…

Rocket has just done a Tommy Smith a T J Smith of the 60s and 70s in a nice race The $2.60 fave has run nowwhere but the $61 stablemate has got up and won

Just the one bet for me on Pacing Cup Night , and im quite keen on this , very attractively priced to on an E/W basis at the $10 mark Race 2 horse no 9 Tiger Royal , i just think in the field tonight it is a massive drop in grade 2 starts back hi…

NSW have started cutting stakemoney to balance the books The recently run TAB Regional Championships both the Riverina one and the Hunter/Valley Newcastle one both formerly 100k races are now 75k races I worked out last week re GP if stakemoney wa…

No, JayJay didn't say that at all, nothing of the sort. If the members decided to sell GP "lock, stock and barrel", the distribution of the funds is up to the members. Having sold the venue, members may then decide to build a new track or give the m…

Stumbled accross this article -- but this what you call industry changing increases - this article is from july 24 - and it only resulted in the sale of TAB or some deal Now i know Jay Jay has repeatably posted that harness racing doesnt own GP - h…

I personally hope that Minstrel is victorious in the WA Pacing Cup Deni Roberts is a champion driver , and i posted years back that i rated her the best female driver in Australia - and that is 1000% correct I can remember many years back when Dar…

Michael Tenardi ex WA just brought up a double priced winner at Bathurst with ex WA Pacer Keayang Jigsaw Hes based near Young , hell of along way from Sydney of course

My most vivid memory of the WA Pacing Cup ,and this about 45 years ago late70s early 80s when i was a Professional Punter for about 4 years ,was the harrowing time i had getting home from a WA Pacing Cup Use to go to GP basically every week ,got …

In the last small e/w horse 10 Miss Vincenza @ $10 Honest filly with a decent sprint ,raced previously against todays fave runners and finished close to them

I havent been its Number 1 fan , but Never Endings last start was an eye catcher , so it has to be a top chance Its had about 4-5 starts after 12months off the scene and i notice they have been racing it each fortnight , thats why it wasnt in the N…

Just the one for me tonight , Race 8 no 10 Franco Mecca E/W @ $14 I think it is way down in grade its last 2 runs have been 1st class , had a torrid run last start in much better company and it was still a good effort And $14 in that field tonig…

Thanks for that detailed explanation Jay Jay But i must say where are the WA Trots Media Wheres Panda and Hayden King and Ernie Manning and Ken Casellas and all the rest of them , when the vital important questions need to be asked re WA Trottin…

Can someone please tell me , who appoints the CEO at GP , and in the case of M Radley who keeps reappointing him Chariots told us that the GP members club - it had 363 members or someting , so do they have a committee or board , where Mr Jeavons is…

See this is the thing when you basically had to win a heat , to qualify for a start in the WA Pacing Cup and it was a prestigious race it put real pressure on every horse and their connections to win a heat , no matter how highly they were rated …
-
Both Keval and Snakes and Ladders were both underated pacers in my opinion , Snakes and Ladders had a likeable youngish driver who wore deep blue colours Keval when it was a young horse it had a smooth pacing action , but i dont know if had a pad…
-
I thought the Pacing Cup - once upon a time was winners only of the heats got in , or 1st and 2nd perhaps And i will put my house on a couple of facts that one of those Pacing Cups F R Kersley won 5 Pacing Cup heats on the one Friday night, thus h…
-
To be honest i think the X interviews are hopeless. If they want to grow turnover, especially on a Friday night, have the races and all local interviews on the Racing Wa 7 platform. It’s a waste having it if it’s not going to promote the local produ…

Stumbled accross this picture looking for something else , its from 2 years ago approx Lovely picture of the 2 WA lady drivers Deni Roberts and Emily Of course you have got Amanda , Ellen Tormey, Tayleah McMullen , Samantha Pascoe and Danielle Hill

Ihave got a different view to most re sport , and it has changed dramatically in the past 6-7 years - to the exrent that from that point on you would have to pay me to sit down to watch AFL ,or golf or cricket or whatever for 3 hours how boring , …

Its very hard for any racing code to actually break even in todays climate However , how many racing administrators actually know what they are doing or going to do , and how many are just guessing Iwill never forget , i heard Roger Montgomery abo…

They are in a hell of alot of trouble They are highly talented drivers - there is another brother ( not charged Dylan Ford ) They drive basically drive for Yoles father and Tammy Langley There ia allways controversy with them , Rohan Hillier who …

I can remember a race at Richmond Raceway , might have been an open class or free for all And Morgan James was the short price fave ,and the reason i can remember the race is one of my old favourites Keval got up and won Morgan James led on its ea…
-
Just on Morgan James , from memory front running - leading was its go - and basically carried from memory , cricket white colours But the question is more about his trainer/driver Gary Lilleyman - when he had Morgan James , was that basically the o…

Be interested to know what the head to head record was between Koala King and Pure Steel - and only interested where one of the 2 won the race etc which they both competed in - not interested where say one of them ran 3trd and the other 1 ran 5th I…

Just out of interest , what was Gammalites record at the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds , because i can remember Bill Collins saying in the call one night , and it wasnt a feature race , but in the back straight and then turning for home Collins sai…
