Yep, heading to Freo derby on Sat, which coincides with Otherside Brewing opening up a Beer Hall at Freo Markets B-)

the problem with this thread is that it has failed to show any unfairness with the examples given.it is certainly not demonstrating anything that does not happen in other states. there may well be some bad handicapping in wa, but none of the example…

My guess is La Vina.and i have to agree... NO horse should be getting 4 points for running 4th in any race... $4000 prizemoney for running 4th and you cop 4 points (talking about the Sheila Gwynne). You've actually beaten home Akiko, an out of form…

Re Sha Tim and Happy Valley is one in an affluent area and the other a lower class surrounding? I had been told this but never been able to confirm. Sha Tin is well out of town, out in te burbs, about 40 mins on the train.Happy Valley on HK Island (…

It’s easy to be critical but you need realistic solutions to go with your criticism. Everybody can point the finger but few can find a better way. Previous ratings system was a lot better imo. You knew what you were up for. Whereas now it depends on…

Cambist 5 points... that’s harsh. And what do you think of a 4 point penalty for running 4th....?
-
You need a hard working handicapper who is a good judge in order for discretion to work. That's why discretion should not be applied. It's too subjective. Keep this black & white. Horses shouldnt be rehandicapped on perceived ability. They need …

And La Vina got penalised 4 points when running unplaced (4th) and earning $4k.....!!!The Handicapping Policy clearly assesses 4th place as an "unplaced runner" which can either maintain their rating, or drop points. It does not say they can be pena…

Let me know where i can get some?For personal use only B-) :))

I think you would of been a few inches bigger after that. =)) =)) All I can say is that the "playboys" stayed under the bed last night. :D"Boys" being the appropriate word.....

clarkson to Freo is now the rumour.. Yep my neighbour saw him & his wife outside a house for sale down the road.I live in Pt Coogee, as does Stephen Hill. Fyfe 5 mins up the road in the same suburb.Brad Hill going nowhere and Tim Kelly coming.

Headbutt not contested. Low impact downgraded to insufficient force, as testified by Lockhart.But don't let the facts get in the way of your twisted bias...

Was the Sebring Colt out of Antique Belle offered or retained? Bought by N.Parnham at GC MM sale for $80k. Named Fruition

Lindsay Smith has picked up the 60k Antique Belle colt. Looking for that Westspeed. $60k was a bargain; considering Regal Power came out and won the Derby the following week.If this bloke can emulate the deeds of some of his close relatives, he has…

I inspected 30+. Another 20 not worth even pulling out of ther box (midgets). About half of those inspected had conformation issues.Generally speaking, the Sizzling's, My Admirations and All American's stock looked good. Plus a few Snippetson's &…

Happy with the $5.75 (odds boost) I got on Arcadia Queen prior to Pike's decision. Material Man maps well.Private Dancer looks huge overs, given the price of Celebrity Dream & Misty Metal. The 1400 certainly more to her liking and will strip a l…

She'll be hard to beat in the KT with no weight.

Anyone any imfornation on crowd number yesterday, someone estimated no more than 6,000 Bullsh!t. Easily 10,000. Probably closer to 15k

funk has that nag of yours retired? the one trained by mr. lucas...forget his name... Yes Falc, King of Wu. He sliced the frog of his hoof open pretty badly somehow around the stable, which put an end to his last prep. We were bringing him back agai…

I'll be backing Peaseful State & 'The People's Horse'

A construction site for 20 years.....Think i'll wait 20 years before buying

All Dorkers supporters with their usual massive chips on their shoulders are "up and about" post the draft. Not because they got Hogan, Lobb etc, it is because Eagles didn't get Kelly. Pathetic really. Just like their Grand Final every year being th…

Comparing their records, Winx has a better CV than Phar Lap.Best ever?Royal Ascot to stick it up the naysayers in the UK, then retirement?

They might have finished outside the top four, but this young, exiting Demons must be genuinely be considered flag contenders. Numerically, the Demons tick all the boxes, ranking first for scoring, time in forward half and contested possessions thi…

Pies injured players returning is very similar to when the Bullies @rse f_cked the 'certainty' Weagles on their home deck @$6.50 odds a few seasons back, when the bye b4 finals was introduced. $-) $-)

Family Of Man was the first Australian horse to earn $500000 in prizemoney and won at Pinjarra. Also won a Cox Plate. Pinjarra win was actually the precursor to what is now the Kinston Town.I think he broke the $1m mark when winning it

A lot of uninformed opinions here.We'll see what comes out of the matter in general (of numerous positives recently due to cobalt tests) being referred to Racing Australia by the WARTA at the suggestion of the Integrity Services unit of RWWA.

Not Gaffs fault he and Brent Staker have stronger jaws than Brayshaw. Gaff left the ground after the coke snorting Johnson hit, assisted by two trainers. As for the "how far off the ball" both Lyon and Bandicoot said 100m to sensationalise their st…

https://www.smh.com.au/national/footballer-jailed-for-onfield-assault-20080703-312s.htmlShould be criminal charges laid. There's plenty of precedence. Could be facing jail time and at least six figures in civil damages.
