Agree 110% with you both... there should be some level of decency in the quality of the field. Always get hard luck stories in this race and it's usually caused by a runner that shouldn't be there

For the Railway the horse and jockey were supposed to enter the mounting yard at the same time and the introduction done then. It was completely ballsed up and the jockeys were introduced (badly), while the horses were accumulating on the track. As…

Forget the racecall The biggest drama occurred before the race, The horses departed the back parade ring on stewards instructions, only to be stranded on the track while the jockey intros were taking place, It was very loud plus the massive crowd, T…

He did have the official finishing order he could have used. I agree everyone makes mistakes, racecalling can’t be easy and the fact Darren made a clanger in a group 1 is really bad luck. But unfortunately the redub was sloppy. My thoughts too Nga…

I think it is safe to label Bunbury as a leaders track now

It's a shame they decided to throw her in the deep end during the Pinnacles. I'm sure with time she'll be good but like anything, it takes time spent on the job to hone the craft. The people who decided to thrust her into that role with zero experi…

Gotta feel for the bloke. Close to worst nightmare for a race caller doing that in a G1.
-
What a cracking days racing ahead, lock myself in the carport and leave me alone type stuff! R1: Our Rocky Bay to tough it out on speed. R2: Border Force similar to last effort should stack up really well here. R3: If Watch Me Rock goes anything lik…

Looks like they have poured the water onto it to try changing it. Plenty of clods of turf getting kicked up
-
It is difficult to see how every well-behaved ex racehorse can be re-homed. There are so many horses racing every week across the country... surely there are nowhere close to the same amount of homes for them to go to once they're deemed no good to …

Leaders killing it in the first 3

Not responding to your opening post Damo but I think the Vic and NSW group races need an overhaul. There are way too many black type races In respect to not responding, that is the problem in WA. You can't rock the boat by asking the bloody obvious…

I got a $20 bonus bet from Tabtouch today which was nice... had some technical dramas again today though at around the time of the Derby! I know it's not easy to do a quick fix on these things, but jeez they need one.

Great to see the Gangemi brothers crack it for a win after a run of outs
-
Acromantula did great though

look at the fluctuations in the last, flanders and then look what won the race.jessica vallas who had rides at collie yesterday is obviously making a comeback.i understand she is pikes long standing partner. Falc I'm trying to decipher what you are…

Jeez the Pikey followers will be steaming after his rides in the last yesterday and the 1st today. I'm sure he'll strike back very shortly though ie. in the next!

Zing to Win runs in R3 today at Kal. Form franked with Crippalenko scoring again yesterday
-
Rodent is 101% right here, the PUNTER must not be affected by the actions of the jockey. We're losing enough punters in this world without hammering them for something they have no control over. Rodent again is correct in saying "how do we know if t…

The horse that won the major race in England last week has been disqualified for minor excessive whip use but amazingly after raceday Would the keep @Rodent happy?
-
Not one race on sky 1 today (yet). Sky carrying on like a woman scorned. Petty pricks. Sky is cancelled in my house now that WA Racing is on 7+. Dead to me!
-
It's a bloody great card of racing, so good to see! From a tipping/punting perspective looks tough though. Good luck all and how good is it to be back at Ascot!
-
if the track is as bad as discussed i cannot understand why trainers are not up in arms, threating to not nominate etc. What choice do they have Falc? Don't race, lose owners, no earnings = go broke! It's a bloody tough gig trying to make a quid a…

Just saw the new Racecourse Manager Matthew Cork (ex NSW) with Rock-hard-Brock on twitter (link below). Hopefully he brings a new enthusiasm for preparing the track that has a bit of give in it. I had forgotten that Matt joined the team. Not sure …

The curator doesn't need to know squat about the anatomy of the horse, but if he doesn't know he is dishing up tracks that are too hard week in, week out, then it is extremely concerning
-
not changed, still like concrete apparently. every track at the moment is. what is wrong with them putting some extra irrigation on? It's been the case at Ascot since the new guy started. Maybe the other track curators follow his lead
-
Are they simply mowing it too short or?
