  • Surely you jest Falcon. Walsh will surely breed with her for many moons to come. Well well well, she is in the Inglis Chairman's Sale coming up. I'm shocked. I guess Walsh is just a business person after all.

  • The slots are slowly filling up now and it looks like being a ripper.
  • Ouch that's not good but I guess it could always be worse.
  • Machine Gun Gracie has panels on them all I reckon. The rest are battling it out for second
  • Brad McManus who sets the early prices for Tabtouch is on leave and it seems they can't find anyone else to do it (I'm not sure how they set the prices on raceday). Worse still the ES corporates including TABVIC, Sportsbet, Ladbrokes etc seem unable…

  • The odds for tomorrow Ascot midweek aren't out yet on Tabtouch. I don't think I'm imagining it- aren't they usually out by Tuesday arvo?

  • All race callers should listen to Matt Hill, he's the best Australia wide if not the world, just calls the race without the ****. Goes alright in the AFL too.
  • The thing about Richie that pizzes me right off is when he says how far the field is from 1st to last... he'll say "must be 15 from the leader". When I hear this I look and there'd be about 8 lengths 1st to last. Anyone listening would think that is…
  • I remember Northam got smashed by locusts around 30 years ago and they put in a sand/oil track for a bit. Only temporary of course. Bit of trivia for yas
  • Pikey having a cry today after the big one, in the jockeys after race interviews,he definitely would be lying after the last that he didn't win a race,Lucy and Chris cleaned up.he wouldn't be a nice person to be with tonight :) :) Pikey is like C…
  • ^ I was told that. But a look at BOM suggests nil rain wtf!?
  • I watched a few yesterday inside looked off, many getting to the middle of the track, including the leaders.    Ever since they watered the track for Makybe Diva I've wondered about track prep favouring certain horses. It's human nature to try to g…
  • Just on that- how good was London's Image last night. Plenty went wrong plus the travel/1st time at the Valley under lights... I was impressed
  • Jet weary Flanders I guess you could use that excuse today Chris but not all the other times
  • Brad P in the last... doing Brad P things and refusing to straighten them when they're shifting ground. Does it regularly. Lost 2nd on protest which is good but are the stewards happy to let him keep doing it? To this point yes. Btw I'm a fan of the…
  • Michael Heaton in the yard at Ascot today Is a thousand times better Agree re MH being more fluent etc but he should be too, with much more experience. From the times I've heard him though, he's no better with the tips.
  • i know there was no disrespect, spink. its just we are becoming so bloody weak, can anybody remember when there was no air-con? we just got on with it.would they cancel the perth cup if it was deemed very hot? no way...remember time frame..about 45 …
  • You'd think it would be then directed to give a sample. Not mentioned in the stewards report so I guess the stewards/vet don't agree that it is potentially a little suspicious

  • Can someone explain how a horse can sustain a laceration high up in a nostril? I'm not all over such things, but I can't help but wonder- could this be a result of being drenched pre-race? I can't think of any way this can occur organically.... Bel…

  • Jeez I'd reckon Alex Hearn is in big strife, stopped riding Lexington City and got rolled on the post. Notice he's been getting more than his share of lenience from the stewards recently and unless he's got pics of them doing weird stuff, his luck …

  • PC with his 3rd Perth Cup and a CV including multiple Group 1s goes alright too. Wouldn't mind knowing the last winner of the Perth Cup at those kinda odds....
  • Bargain buy Western Empire. Easiest $88k Billy Egan ever earned. About $41k Jay
  • Allways had my doubts about the crowds,over the years they have had some very good horses from here and Eastern States but nothing outstanding that draw crowds to the races.i might be wrong. I remember when horses like Better Loosen Up came across…
  • I must say, the track at Ascot looks so much better this season than in any year I can remember. The new fella is the only change as far as I know, so he seems deserving of a big pat on the back. Sure there have been some occasions where the inside…
  • Well Pike just cost Central Force the race. He should be getting a fine for that!! Watch the head-on footage. Looks like it was Chris Parnham on the Caseys horse. A 10 day holiday beckons
  • I like the way Rope Them In won last start with blinkers on first time. If they ride him coldish I reckon he's a good each-way chance
  • where did she lob from? Ireland
