  • One thing to remember 85% of our industry are hobbyist, out of the 15% left 80% of them only think they are. Surely someone like you wouldn’t be throwing fire at someone’s training ability
  • Moonraker/Rocket you are both missing the point. You cant have all levels of races made up of Hall, Bond, Rocket etc. Moddest estimate lets say 75% of horses end their days as losing comodities when coats from day of birth to end of racing career …
  • You can have low level races on higher quality tracks Yes but they will get beaten up in by the big boys. You will also lose the auidence-some of those Albany meets for example looked to have really solid crowds. God forbid it resemble somet…
  • You got it Pancho shafted but that happens when best interest gets defeated by self interest. Hahaha not a chance you’d be playing the victim card surely
  • You can have low level races on higher quality tracks
  • How would you make up the fields? Hot tip, the people that are doing this as an interest arent going to be paying the $2k+ a month to have someone train their horse, they would just disappear.  You wouldnt have the grades.   Might be able to cobble…
  • If Albany had been run at Pinjarra (in some crazy parallel universe), then there is a whole lot of people who would have made no money, probably would not have taken part and almost certainly would exit the Industry. I have an idea....lets shut do…
  • Anywhere yes, cater for 9/10 of trainers and the professionals not sure why a professional industry caters so highly for people that make their living off a 9/5 job and train a few horses on the side My goodness........well Self Interest just bu…
  • So as far as shifting Kellerberrin meetings to GP, you are now including Pinjarra and Bunbury as possible venues for their meeting? Making more and more sense by the second. Anywhere yes, cater for 9/10 of trainers and the professionals not sure…

  • Brilliant Mount Eden Sprint on the 1000m track, shift the Nullabor there. Last Nullabor at GP was pretty brilliant
  • you want community meetings and country horses to go to GP but would you go to Albany if they were community meetings or would you race at Pin and GPM I didn’t say GP, I said GP Bunbury and Pinjarra any of the proper and accessible tracks. Arapa…
  • Rocket, you keep harping on  about costs to send a team to a a outer country track not being viable.People will go anywhere, if they can get a quid ,no matter what field they are employed or involved in.We all need options and the more options we ha…
  • Question - is QLD harness considered sustainable in terms betting income and stakes payouts? Unfortunately i feel the war has already been lost - too much of the footprint has already been eroded for WA to have a viable decentralised/country racing …
  • Just for an example say a Kellerberrin on a Sunday costs the industry 50k in stakes and returns 20k to the industry in revenue which it’s somewhere around that anyway, if you ran that meeting at Pinjarra it still only costs the industry 50k but the …
  • I think you’re missing my point a little, seeing the figures I’ve seen etc it’s a simple fact that if the outter country meetings took place at GP Bunbury or Pinjarra instead it’s a much higher turnover meeting. Stakes and fields don’t change but th…
  • In 2024 you can bet on just about any event you can think of. What are you most likely to want to bet on?? Something you have a firm opinion/view on. How are you likely to form that view?? Follow the sport/event closely. Why are you following tha…
  • No, incorrect the $6 million dollar figure is "revenue generated" (i.e profit) from wagering, all sources, it is not a turnover figure. It is the nett amount generated for the Industry from outlaying the $15 million in stakes. As far as racing Coll…
  • FWIW- in yesterdays West Australian newspaper which ive just got around  to reading  In the property section - page 14 - one full page add - big picture of the Byford Trotting track - - house for sale - massive amount of land 4904 metres - thats ove…
  • You’re missing my point. If we raced Sunday at Gloucester Park same programming same horses same stakes same fields as you’d have at Collie etc the turnover is higher at GP which in simple terms means it’s more profitable to race at Gp. Forget about…
  • The only way forward is for a parliamentary inquiry into RWWA'S management into Harness Racing and throw one into the management of Gloucester Park it's the only way to the truth. Your very butt hurt about GP management. Did you not get hugged eno…
  • The HROA seem to be working well, branched off because no one had confidence or wanted to support Botra, obviously more approachable now Donald has taken over. No secret the industry is in decline which is why people are pushing for change but the …

  • Yeah the problem with that is you get a dill in charge that rather than push for the better of the industry they push to lower it down to their own level
  • Yeah I didn’t get the survey either
  • I think that was the case with Ross Waddell and his WA Pacing or Pacing WA organisation, Tilly had some, Kat Warwick, Sarah Suvaljko and maybe some others. But they combined with Trotsynd some time back. Since then, they advertise that their purchas…

  • Warren loves a gossip. Fact

  • and pretty lucky to be in a financial position to do what i want you can only hope that you end up like me. I highly doubt he would want to end up like you….. God. Please no

  • Maybe you should elaborate some more Warren, not sure what conspiracy theory you’re getting at. Unbelievably some horses/trainers do make profit for their owners understandable you couldn’t grasp the concept
