  • That's him spinking. Frequent visitor to the Tattersall's Club in Kal like yours truly.

  • I can recall Lester Piggott riding in Perth, late 60's early 70's? Rode a winner Free Style? or similar for Ron Mitchell? ex Kal. I'm battling to recall exactly what I had for lunch never mind that far back.

  • I realise that it's a tough gig, but in race 4 Macca has called the Peters' horse, odds on favourite, Windswept rather that Windstorm the entire race.

  • Sorry, thread won't work.
  • This is the story.
  • G'day Curmudgeon As an aside re your comment yesterday. I can recall a Kiwi Test fast bowler named Cunis. The late, great John Arlott referred to his name as being neither one nor the other.

  • As mentioned above, all the trials are now up on Vimeo.

  • Shame. I lived in Wyndham yonks ago and the Cup meeting was always a great turnout which the locals put a lot of work into. I think in recent years the majority of starters came across from Darwin.
  • I expect  Andrew Gaff to plead guilty and accept whatever penalty is handed out, despite his coach's comments.   I also await Danny Green's input.

  • This has to be a one off "Prosh" version of the Tabform.

  • Congrats to the Pinjarra Race Club. A great day's racing and outstanding facilities. Prediction: Juan Shot to become a gun stayer in WA racing.
  • Spinking..From memory Brian Liddelow was apprenticed to A J (Aub) Mitchell in Bentley. Gordon Dickinson was nicknamed 'Shorty' The J W Taylor listed in the apprentices allowances was a gun rider who was killed in a car smash at his peak. I rememb…
  • Any danger of the pint beer glasses making a return?

  • How good is Diego Castro. A very astute signing and close to the best player in the league.

  • Rest easy, Max Lots of laughs at the Calcutta at the Mangrove hotel.
  • If it was just a senior moment by Jim Enright, why not slap him with a fine and let the horse run Swab it as a safeguard. The horse was scratched about an hour before the race start. The stewards must have some concerns to schedule a future inqui…
  • I think you will find a horse called Curry won twice at Ascot one Saturday in early 70's on a very wet day. If the few brain cells I have left are operating, I think Curry was a bit earlier than that. Ridden by Peter Moran who was an Aub Mitchell ap…
  • Beshart Berisha is a blight on the game. His dive on the weekend following on from a dive in the A League a couple of years ago cost Perth Glory on both occasions. How do the referees get conned by this bloke? Does the referee assume that contact …

  • A dog walks into a telegram office takes a blank form and writes, "Woof,woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof." The clerk looks at the form and says, "There are only 9 woofs here. You could send another woof for the same price." The dog r…
  • A man walks into a bar and says to the barman, "I bet you $50 I can bite my right eye." Barman says, "I've never seen anyone do that." Man takes out his glass right eye and bites it. The angry barman pays the $50 and the man walks off. He comes …
  • Two drovers drinking at the pub. One asks, "What are you up to?" "Ah I'm takin' a mob of 5000 from Goondawindi to Gympie." " Oh yeah and what route are you takin'?" "Ah probably the missus, she stuck by me durin' the drought."
  • Hats off to Tabform tipster Stephen Rodgers who picked zero winners in a total of 18 races at Randwick and Doomben last Saturday. Not one of the three tipsters bat Randwick picked a winner. At Doomben, Jack Smallhorn picked two winners, the other …

  • A man walks into a pub with an ostrich and a pussy cat. He goes up to the bar  and says, "A beer for me and the ostrich and a whiskey for the cat." The trio find a table, sit down and finish their drinks. Next, the ostrich goes to the bar and says,…
  • Trial 3 onwards was the older horses. Trial 2 was originally a 950m for 2 yr olds with 5 noms. I was keen to see Our Time Will Come who won by 6.5l at Belmont 0n 5/10 over 400m. I guess they were all pulled out.
