  • della" said:This race meeting will be telecast on SKY2. First race 2.32pm - twilight racing on a friday - we are getting oh so close to night racing :P Noticed that a few meetings lately (Albany & Esperance) starting after 2pm with shorter bre…
  • Errol Flynn" said:Interestingly, BOM shows no record of any substantial rain, anywhere down south. "25ml" a typo ??? Should have been 2.5ml (or even 0.25ml ???) Incorrect it has been p@ssing down here for 5 days off and on and again today, am not su…
  • Had 10mm rain on the coast over the weekend not sure if Barker got as much, forecast tomorrow light showers
  • Great to see Esperance get their turn on Sky. As a longtime Esperance racegoer and follower they have come along way, firstly geeting TAB of the Cup meeting years ago, then full Tab coverage and now Sky. Have a great track with good facilities, jus…
  • Piston_Broke" said:There was a International Jockey Challenge in 78, Willie Carson, Sandy Hawley (leading USA rider), Steve Cauthen and a few others, was a huge success then, wonders why it has taken them 32 years to do it again. Not sure if it was …
  • Weather looking ok for Sunday so far Preview up http://greatsouthernracing.blogspot.com/2010/11/albany-sunday-november-7th-2010-sky-1.html
  • Pretty close to the mark there MH, except T-Woves as the hawk now 6-0. Clipps finally won one the other day with a team of youth, Fat Baron injured again. Hornets got over Miami in a close one.
  • Not the greatest starting five the Suns with Stoudamire gone, but outscored by 20 in last term going in with a 6 point breather. The Kaveman important as is "Fat" Baron for us.
  • Outstanding rider, followed his career since he was an apprentice riding in Toowoomba, won a few on handy mare Jazzy's Jewel, in his early days. Absolute tragedy.
  • Deal No.2 just signed off - Tiger Richard Tambling to Adelaide for two draft picks.
  • Inartic 58kg and barrier 14 in Hannans.
  • Tivers" said:Hmmmmmm.................on the footage it appears Rudeforth just ran in to a brick wall :oops: Would like to see a different angle though. Think elbow went up as a reactionary measure when he realised late that contact was coming. Na…
  • GetonMarasco" said:Mitch Morton is a carbon copy of steve johnson , i hope he pulls his head in because he is going to be an important player for richmond. AFL sent Mitch over to the Ongerup Footy Assoc GF to present medallions last Saturday, been a…
  • Lincolnism" said:Pixies were good. Not outstanding, but worth the effort. Venue gets a 10/10....my first gig there and I thought it was brilliant Your talking about the Belvior Linc ?, great venue saw Foo Fighters there a few years back, just an awe…
  • Is CRIS not showing any results on Bunbury for anyone else, I cannot get that to come up.
  • big orange cat" said::lol: :lol: And sprinkle dandruff and liquid paper over his frozen lamingtons!! :lol: :lol: In other words BOC go out in class like Conan O'Brien did.
  • Just a different slant on the races. Esperance trainer Helen Harding headed to Perth for a week, didn't win a race but went home with $17,000 in stakemoney over 3 meetings, from 5 starters and 2 doubleing up in the week. Shame our bloke didn't join …
  • Coulld call him the PM after this :wink: http://www.dest.gov.au/NR/rdonlyres/6CDB47A4-35EE-4DE9-AB03-4DEE8539F839/14868/PMSkillsFactSheet200610Campbell.pdf
  • Will do Della after final fields come out.
  • Is this a race in town ?, sorry all my attention will be at Esperance for the Cup meeting there this Saturday. :wink: Will be attending my 19th Cup meeting in 20 years, and still look forward to it every year. Great social day out.
  • Torpedo Punt" said:[quote="Darrah"]Remember Ric Ellard well CC. He had a stint with Collie Saints & was an outstanding - hard player. Played many Sunday League game & had a run with Perth I think. Good to see his son doing well. Was a big pa…
  • Darrah" said:Would only be guessing that one CC - Armstrong ? Yes I think Ric's run at Perth was an after thought. But now you mention Swans I do recall that. 10 points to Darrah. start of the last WCE not out of this just yet, but Blues only need b…

  • I find it ironic Adam Selwood trying to rough up Judd, one of the players that made him look a far better footballer than he is. Good to see young David Ellard getting a League game with the Blues, his Dad Ricplayed with Kalamunda in the Sunday Foo…
