  • As a bit of a non event with these 1100 metre races are .They do allow owners of inferior Horses the chance to earn and keep on racing having had a pacer that wouldn’t settle but had great gate speed I wish the 1100 metre races were around then. Onl…
  • Thanks for enlightening us Jay Jay. Stating the obvious but how could the Trotting Trainers Association if there is one or BOTRA not pick this up as I would deem illegal considering the other 2 Codes are paid Trainers Subsidy Fees.& Harness Tr…
  • Apologies, Due to lack of competitive racing!
  • On seeing the race live it did look like Aldo was napping ! But upon reflection and Not talking through my wallet but if Aldo got stuck in the breeze he’s a mug as M.S in FFA Class I don’t believe has gone well breezing often disappointing I think. …
  • I think Joe may test M.S not so perfect gate at the start Marko?
  • Question : If the Current state of Harness and its Managemt was in the Private Sector what do you think would be the Outcome for current & prior decision making by management by its partners / share holders ? Dissatisfaction of this level is …
  • Are you lot taking the **** ? If only we could have 1 as good as his many Good Horses. Honestly who on this forum has had a Group 1 winner ? Don’t know the man , Never Spoken to the Man and I doubt I will ever be in the same room as the Man . He was…
  • Jay Jay to your Questions I would say Yes as I’m a 73 Vintage thus I’d be lying if I remembered! The maths find me out. But to be honest with ourselves there wasn’t the competition that all Night Trotting Meetings now have and duly participation &a…
  • If Bred , Born & Raced in WA . Hands Down Preux Chevalier . If Imports well how long is a peace of string.
  • Would a fair summation of the Pacing Cup be that a pretty much even spread of horses ran to the best of there ability and the winner had the advantage of the lead . Sad to say no super stars in that field a true star aka The MightyQuinn would’ve gi…
  • Marko bloody good marketing idea if done right as it could be used as a additional tool in finding individual attributes and nurturing there talent ready for the big leagues. Would love it if the commentating individuals could give the uneducated pu…
  • Always admire someone who tries to garner some enthusiasm Good on you Marko ! I’ll never forget Saab’s Pacing Cup win literally raining Cats & Dogs that night the rain really highlighted him as a fine specimen of a Standard Bred returning back …
  • If they spent time in helping their fellow man ie the homeless on Perth Streets their efforts would be well Spent ! Vegetables ,Fruit , Cereals are living organisms too why isn’t there mass hysteria in regards to there exploitation and in humane tr…
  • Jay Jay, Social Aspect / Chivalrous Fella / Spring Well all by Crouch from the same year/ crop I believe . All very good horses . Crouch didn’t fire when sent east but did leave very good Colts & Fillies in the West shame his career wasn’t l…
  • Marko I’ll give yourself & Jay Jay B.O.G for unreservedly stating your opinions even if some may not see them in the same way . IMO Shannon should be congratulated on his initiative & daring drive in the Derby i thought to myself that’s B…
  • Jay Jay Aldo’s last 100 metres on Friday very reminiscent of a Fred Kersley in his later years in nursing M.S home ?
  • Falcon, V’landys is a winner Controversial definitely, Abrasive absolutely but credit where it’s due in respect to Racing had the support & backing but taking corporates to court for product fee was imo a stroke of Genius and has overtaken Vic…
  • Obviously a case of nothing to see here !
  • I don’t know if Chariots was still a Bookmaker when I heard of this but I remember watching the old Friday Night Live on Channel 31 with Marty & Wes. I recall that on 1 night and only ever heard about this on air that a Punter was betting $50 …
  • I’ve never met or talked to J.P But he must present well to Clents as obviously has a good Business Plan, Relays information well & obviously backs himself in with yearlings selected. at various sales. Thus imo he deserves all the success he ge…
  • In the Hunter Cup that TFS ran in as you mentioned Marks was Elsu the Winner ? Because if it was one what a Monstrous Win I backed TFS that night and if it was Elsu who won I then realised how good the NZ Horses must be if they’re not willing to Se…
  • Falcon unfortunately it’s Buyer beware . I once read an article in regards to buying a yearling and the percentages involved in 1- Making it to Trials 2- Winning a Trial 3- Winning a Race 4- Said Horse actually turning a Profit . With all due respec…
  • Markovina you’re correct are the various State Pacing / Trotting administrators chasing the$1 Novelty Punters ? Make the Racing a spectacle get the Administrators to come up with initiatives to encourage daring tactics Big Deal if the $1-20 Favouri…
  • Chariots was Falcon Strikes 1st Start @ G.P a plunge ? As I think Disco Force was possibly in the Red . If it was plunged when did you realise Oh No I’m going to get roasted here..
  • Just a matter of opinion but has the demise of Bookmakers on course diminished the Racing Experience and how much would you think it’s affected on course numbers.
  • For the love of me couldn’t understand how JTW never got him really firing in the West unless he couldn’t handle G.P is my only thought. Was a very tough horse IMO.
  • Bookielover you’re correct the demise of the Bookmaker / Bookies ring is to the detriment of the Excitement of the Sport .for the non participant. The Excitement the Theatre of it all nothing gets me going more than a story of a Plunge it’s Addicti…
  • Jay Jay if he didn’t do what he did . Victoria Racing would do NSW what RWAA will do to Harness in WA if the proposed changes aren’t maximised to achieve best outcomes for all industry members. Divisive Yes but seems to achieve best outcomes for tho…
  • There is always resistance to change that’s Human Natue I’ll be the first to admit . In Jay Jays defence would a independent review from Peter V Landry’s be the worst $1 million that the WATA could spend? Because if this were to go wrong Mamma Mia!
  • I think that irregardless of track location or size as a industry we need to discuss what we want .Do we require the on course experience  ( is it truely viable economically ) or for reasons of economics are we going to become a Gaming / TV experien…
