  • I wonder if it could be in danger of losing allocated meetings in future seasons
  • Maybe the fall involving Braden Gaerth is playing on her mind?
  • Is it normal or allowed for a barrier attendant to give a horse a slap on the bum as the gates open (in the Bluff Knoll)? The guy with the white skully definitely gave a horse a little slap on the rump as the start was effected. From the stewards v…

  • I think it is around $250 per ride
  • I don't mind Richie overall, as he is accurate in finishing pos and has great recall. BUT he is so far off the mark in the run with how far the field is strung out. In race 5 I think it was- he said the last horse was "20 lengths off the leader"! If…

  • You have more idea than me Damien but according to their online catalogue 6 sold for two hundred thousand total to my way of thinking that works out to an average of $33333. If thats not the case so be it Devil is always in the detail. One vendor m…
  • melbourne had a forecast of 38 today. their first race as at 7.30am and the last at 11.00am.we could well take notice. Agree. Noting though that those times are Perth times ie. first race was at 10.30am eastern.
  • Special is still on Flanders......you may want to share a cab with Slip..... Nah i know what i saw Voodoo
  • Not a peep from the stewards on it.
  • @Slippergolden whether you need glasses or not, have a look at the Pont on Tin Chooks. Clearly over the limit there
  • Probably time to abandon it as no race result locally has been overturned let alone a protest. Prime examples recently have been Deck The Halls With Holly Watson and today with Cool Hand Luke Campbell on Halatorian. Slip, I'm one of the first to th…
  • I agree with Jimmy... it is ok but not as loud as race replay's etc. Whilst on the Lark Hill topic, I would love it if the camera positioning was tweaked ever so slightly so we could see the horses after the line. As it is, the horses are obscured …
  • Geez that's no good. On-course bookies would love it though!
  • Pinjarra have a real problem with internet coverage even with there wifi password could not connect . They have two passwords but would not reveal the other one that’s not posted around the course . Telling me there was to many people on the public …
  • What happened with shooter out there yesterday? He's off all rides on Saturday now too
  • Would anyone have any idea why yhere is steward film for every race saturday except the last.?. on cris site Probably will be soon, now that you've pointed it out!
  • Fluro Neuro blowing like a gale in betting. Will be interesting to see if it performs likewise Went enormous! Probably pattern/barrier/Pike related the drift in hindsight
  • Fluro Neuro blowing like a gale in betting. Will be interesting to see if it performs likewise
  • Slip I dunno what it is about some trainers but their lack of consistency is baffling. Probably the best advice if you don't want to get pizzed off with their ways is to avoid betting on them, or in those races! 
  • The X Factor Esprit Garçon How good is it ? Future Star maybe ? Will be tuning in with interest. Hope he keeps raising the bar
  • bloody pike, is he a fair dinkum freak or are the rest hopeless? Did you watch all of his rides?
  • whats his gig at SCMP? ie the official title of his employment. No idea Falcon
  • racing writer for the SCMP? he'll have to get his act into gear...what i mean is that he, and ernie have limited colomn/word space here on the west. he will have to produce vastly more than he does here. at this stage there does not seem any acknowl…
  • Dan Pearce just then in post race interview just said that "Ben and I might have a sneaky share in him". What the hell is he thinking saying that!! Could be in strife over that sort of caper.
  • i noticed that also JJ. is jay rooney going anywhere? Honkers
  • I've heard that the track has recently been painted to cover up some areas. Also, the track has been far too hard for a long time. Curator doesn't want the track to get too hammered, so he doesn't water it as much as perhaps he should... Do other…

  • Casino 17 + Queen Alina both look like they're timed to perfection
  • I must applaud whoever is responsible, for the stewards vision that is now available on the new Racing WA site. Well done
  • Might only be a small thing but it would be good if, when there are scratchings, the barriers of the horses still in the field were adjusted accordingly.
