G Dalziel was involved with Roy Higgins at one stage. He's around the corner from one of my joints in Langwarrin

They were having these very same issues at various tracks, when I was doing the joint, two lifetimes ago.

where can i find that story Carey. when i click on it in your post is says whoops something went wrongYou need to be on twitter or X as it's now called. @fewkes_josh is the guys twitter handle. Alternatively there is a web page link....https://booki…

does not 'risk appetite' explain it? If they let him on, then surely they have to pay him.Perhaps they can ban him going forwards but how pissweak is it not to pay him those winnings.

Check this guy out @fewkes_josh on twitter. Is RWWA really that pathetic?

As far as Don Scott was concerned, I only saw him once in Melbourne. It was the day Sauna won her first race in Melbourne at a Wednesday meeting in 1984 I think it may have beenI only know what I have read about him, and of course I have read all hi…

Carey, not that it really matters, and without scrolling through years of posts, but you have stated on many occasions, that no one really knows how big the level of betting that was taking place in the Sydney betting ring in the 1980's was. As you…

I am decidedly uninteresting Falcon. As far as WA goes, David Hunter once asked Dom Beirne if he knew me. It was probably when Dom was doing the handicapping review for RWWA. Dom just told him, that yes he knows me, and that I was something of a t…

As far as the betting ring in Melbourne goes, then nearly all my money was bet with a bookie named Chang(Jack I think). He would always let us on for whatever with a roll of the board, and then send his men off to bet on those nags. I am pretty sure…

I happened to stumble across an article written by by journalist David Hickey back in 1986 in which he managed to obtain the turnover figures for the top 10 bookies who operated at Randwick for the 1985/ 86 season and the top 8 Interstate bookies fo…

Plus I only knew his name because his betting made the papers(probably Jack Elliot in the Herald or Roylance in the Sporting Globe), or else I would have had no idea who he was.

Riders, Eddie Birchley aka the fireman first appeared in Melbourne at Flemington when he had 200,000 cash on a horse called caboul at 1/6. My old man bet him 5,000/ 30,000. He went to 4 other bookies to have the rest on.Where he stuffed himself was…

Bushbookie and Riders, I have a rough idea of how concession betting works but as my old man never did it, I'm no expert in it. I always knew that 4/1 straight out became 5/2 concession. So Bush bookie is correct. I used to bet with Bob Howatt in Pe…

Youve got that Jenny Jenny Chapman has been there for an eternity. Former jockey in Australia for a short time and I think she was married to or related to trainer Dr Geoff ChapmanNo, she was the daughter of Kel Chapman, a well known Caulfield tra…

Several years ago I used to track all the tips of the media personnel and it was lucky if some of them broke even, for the most part, that was when they were having a good day. I'm just talking winners. Follow the advice of what is being served up …

In other words you are protectionist.Personally I think WA racing is mostly well set up, or I would not have spent years betting into it.Its remoteness was an added attraction for me, but that remoteness(and time of year) is probably why it struggle…

agree mr. goose, the railway is indeed our best race by some distance.why do people.. rwwa...want to fiddle? those fat cats lapping it up at that big bowl of cream discussing what indeed they can dream up to do to our racing. after all that bowl is …

Best not look at Senator Bumfluff or Bob Katters rap sheet, Anika 68th on the list. Keep you partisan crap to a political forum. It's the number one reason why I rarely post anything here.
-
Riding stupidly, and not advising of a change of tactics are 2 different things. Why should a change of tactics be advised? The only thing that matters is that they try to win the race. How they do that, should be left to their discretion.
-
come on Carey what were you about to say?i (we) always take your words on board.....I was just going to comment on pattern races. Australia wide are kidding themselves, if they reckon there is really 9856 stakes races here.Probably less than 50% of …

Not the biggest bet I made, but most likely the dumbest.I once had a 4 place card bet, where if my memory is correct, you pick 4 horses to place and sum the odds.I got 32/1 I think. All 4 won, and were legs of the quadrella which paid $694 for 50 ce…

from early 70's(my beginning) to late 80's could get set for whatever you wanted.from 90's going forwards, then the bookies normally nodded no.there was certainly no dom beirne bookie types left, and the smartest thing i did was walk way and take up…

At least @SLIPPERGOLDEN can refer to the Liberals (and not Coalition) without being corrected now. What a clusterf... the conservatives are in Australia. A joke. Their failure to read the room has resulted in this decimation with the federal govern…

Failure to Read the Room - Jesus where do you start Rat . Nuclear , Trumpism , Work from Home , Policy on the Run , Matched Policy - LNP will match Labors funding , heard Dutton say it numerous times after Albo promised funding for projects , Not u…

dutton had to go...yes, bookie who indeed will lead the LNP? any thoughts? Hastie would be a good choice........Please let it be him..A full blown creationist.Personally I think they need to get rid of the god botherers if they are to be a force ag…

https://x.com/wcameronOU812/status/1918078915786186808 What is stated here is exactly where Australia is with Labor. Western governments wan't their countries to fail.OK Wes!

realistically it should be labor $1.005 and LNP "write your own ticket". So what are you saying Falcon?The Liberals are not what they used to be?I'll be putting them last, but I did vote for Fraser once, if my memory is holding up.I don't think the…

I don't think this is productive for several reasons. It is not an organisation. It is not policy. It is people you are asking to be rated in competency by largely people who couldn't do the job themselves. So if we were being totally fair, Lukoed…
