  • I agree with Chris, the selection of beers at the races is pretty poor given what you're able to get at other entertainment venues. Might have something to do with the sponsorship deal PR has got going. I would like a kids creche/ play centre simila…
  • With 140 staff you have to ask yourself how can someone like Chris Waller have his finger on the pulse of every single horse in his stable. Is it his intimate knowledge and tailored training schedule that he puts together for every single runner or …
  • Great to see his life being celebrated across a number of racing and news outlets. Seeing what he meant to so many people. It shows the public who aren't involved with racing that they are more than just a race horse.

  • I would love to see DMacs facilities compared to those of his eastern states counterparts. For those potting DMac if he was to retire who else is there that's ready to fill his shoes? For me he is the number 1 race caller in WA by the length of th…

  • Did anyone see that coming?
  • What a fiasco race 2 was. One rears and scratched at the barriers, one that refuses to jump and a protest to cap it off.
  • I think they should open it up to owners first and then the members. Outside of that does anyone else even go to Belmont? With owners it should be relatively easy to social distance, but members would find it a bit harder being contained in the memb…
  • I don't know how black lighting in race 2 is at $1.55. Last start she had everything go her way, in a very average maiden field, which was run at a very slow tempo. I think I could have probably lead in that race and still finished in the top 3.
  • Is saving $10-$20 in terms of free entry going to get me off the couch and heading to the track. No chance! Especially when i can sit on the couch with a few mates around, bet on my phone and flick over to the NBA or AFL between races. I feel like …
  • PTT events 4 events a year for PTT members to meet have a beer and a punt.
  • Add a WA syndication section showing each trainer and what they have available.
  • Maybe some video interviews with trainers showcasing their facilities. Maybe some tutorials on how to break down a race in order to compare races against each other. A bit more in terms on analyzing races and race results There is so much racing…
  • 2year old Magic Millions game. I'd also like to see a magic millions type game. You have $500,000 to spend (based on magic millions sales results) You choose 5 horses. Most prize money earned wins. Register in March with the first race eligible b…
  • I'd like to see a fantasy league style game for the ascot carnival running from November until the end of December. maybe you can base it on current ratings as of 20th October. You have 300 ratings points to spend on 5 horses to make up your stabl…
  • He 100% does bet. Have been to 2 or 3 meetings were I've seen him back a few. The times I have seen him he was betting $50-$100 per race.
  • I thought exactly the same Diva. I thought I might get a bit of value on Joyrize considering she was beaten by Mia Dolce last time they met and Miss West Coast is a classy animal. I've gone from having a punt to sitting back and watching. The TAB is…
  • Went around in a trial at Rosehill (Trial 5) https://racing.racingnsw.com.au/FreeFields/Results.aspx?Key=2019Sep17%2CNSW%2CRosehill%20Gardens%2CTrial Maybe a run or 2 before going to the breeding barn.
  • Thought I would update for those playing at home. 5 starts 0 placings $2,600 in prize money https://www.punters.com.au/horses/spins-on-spins_360983/
  • These take out rates are akin to 'killing the goose laying the golden eggs.' The odds on offer feel more in line with what you would find at Crown with everything stacked in favor of the house. Personally it's made betting on horse racing less attra…
  • Bob is reaping the rewards of carefull planning and good decision making. Maybe some other breeders can take a leaf out of his book rather than complain about his success. As Tivers said above we only see the successful ones on the track. I wonder w…
  • Great tip @TheDiva!

  • Damien have any studs over here considered looking at doing a deal with a proven eastern states based sire like a Magnus or Al Maher to bring them over here for single breeding season? It would have to be a stallion with an affordable service fee (a…
  • Bel Esprit, Magnus and Ocean Park
  • I'll be headed to the track this weekend Hash. Will give it a go!
  • Would have to be the quaddie followed by the trifecta in large open races
  • Then call it a discount for your bigger clients. Happens all the time in business.
  • Lifting your daily training rates up $10-$20 a day is hardly going to affect your average 5%-10% owner by the time you divide it up. I'd suggest having 2 tiered pricing. One higher daily training rate for all your syndications and your current daily…
  • From an outsider with little knowledge of how a stables make their money it seems to me as most of these trainers have a broken business model. The article said 85% of stakes money goes to the top 100 trainers. I don't know how this could be an issu…
  • Same Here Amyquil. I was initially reading the discussions as a visitor for several months before i decided to sign up and contribute.  I think this latest change will make it hard to attract new members/contributors. 
  • @Tivers does Impressive have a mailing list i can subscribe to regarding any possible future syndications? My preference is to only get involved with well bred fillys.
