Fastwork morning for some, but not the trainers who do most of their work away from the track
-
Tivers you are saying you are getting horses trained for $2000 per month all in. 10% share is $200 per month?? Seems very cheap. I think @Tivers is looking at a 'probable' net cost? The three I have left with them were $31k, $41k and $35k in cha…
-
The average ongoing cost to maintain the 10% share is $100 per week. This covers general expenses such as spelling, pre-training, training, general vetting, management fee, general race nominations, etc. Just read this on a horse for sale.....not c…

So Bob drops dead tomorrow (hypothetically) and all his horses are sold off over east.So the $5m from the 100 races (wag) that Bob's horses have won @ $50k average, is now shared by 100 other owners @ $42.5k avge each, 20 trainers @ avge 25k each (a…

Gee this thread is dominated by haters....devoid of constructive contributions.Some damning stats be published regarding the home ground favouritism that west coast get at home. It's quite farcical really, the pathetic way their supporters carry on;…

A few missing my point here. Wouldn't a fair few industry particpants be better off without his dominance?Which would then be more money reinvested 'locally'.I'm guessing the people that say 'good on him', that their industry participation is limite…

There is one loophole, race your horses at 2. Bob leaves them races alone ;) Or win next week's $40m Powerball jackpot!

i'm off to Greece and Italy in august...courtesy of quick jagger.. Did both of them (Santorini, Florence, Sorrento & Rome), plus Spain, France, Netherlands and Belgium.Do youself a favour and put San Sebastian in northern Spain at the top of you…

Ascot surface has had enough . Horse and punter welfare should have been at the fore. Roma cup has always been Belmont. Don't believe for one minute attendance would of been smaller at the concrete graveyard. If you were attending the races for the …

Good thanks Falc. Just got back from a month in Europe, all courtesy of King of Wu's last win
-
Hmm....I better read up on rule AR175, as i'd say ive breached it.

glimmer girl... very smart on her day... dependent on whether there's anything wrong with her. There's 2 in there that I like, and she's not one of them. Also excluding Disposition.
-
Odds on that the Gangemi's will buy Disposition for $60-100k.... if he's not withdrawn

His two principal Trainers are the best in the State. IYHO.
-
Best of luck recouping that !
-
Thats a bargain. He would have been perfect for th WA market and a good replacement for Blackfriars.Could have set an attractive first year price given the small initial outlay.
-
Dockers game on Saturday at 5.10pm. Should be running at Belmont. Would have got 5000-10000, given the Camden is overflowing and people cant get in there before games.
-
Mulga was always going to get back. Nothing won from that far back on the day. It would have had to run 34.5 last 600, which it hasnt got anywhere near at Ascot.Considering the massive track bias on the day, Showcase, At The Ready and Prize Catch, w…

A horse who was unplaced in the last race on Sat (rated 69+) has been re-handicapped from a 69 to a 67.Yet if that horse was rated a 68 (or if the race was rated a 70+) and therefore racing out of class it is not / can not be re-handicapped and woul…

6 months at a time, not 6 months ahead. Actually 3 months at a time. The last two updates to what is on RWWA website were after I asked on both occassions.....
-
I think you're too late guys. Unless you're the ones that have bought her already.
-
Day 1 clearance rate looked better.A few heading this way with Nifty, Lindsay and F.Edwards.Electra grabbed a couple, but they may stay over East.I see Neville Duncan sold one for $400k. A 1/2 to Lite'n In My Veins by Sepoy

Gee Wacked Out making a habit of stumbling out of the barriers.
-
Private Dancer my best today.Dont mind Wacked Out and Corporate Larrikin e/w at double figure odds
-
Gees, I had Jingtang in the last going for good dosh in the quad; how many people did know about King of Wu? Will he ever win at 1200m again? (at or better than 1-10.41) We'll find out on 7th April, when he drops back to 1200 again. Should be wo…
-
I think Hashy means 5 figures.... @Rodent, FRK said after dismounting first-up at Bunbury; 'Mr Lucas (trainer), you had this horse spot on to win today. All I had to do was get cover, as you said, and I f_cked it up. I'm sorry, he should have won e…
-
I still cannot believe King of Wu won the last at Ascot last Sat; Megafactory yes; but King of Wu? It was Chinese New Year day and therefore Jingtang was my guess! Is King of Wu going to be as an 8yo like One Kool Cat that old horse of Ian Gladings…
-
Bomber, I was on Megafactory at the $20 this morning. looked at Wu for the novs, saw the jockey, and put a line through it. I see Mega got out to $34. I'm a poor judge in many ways. Only jockey that knows how to ride to instructions.4 rides for 2 …

I've got a runner in so will be there.Will swing by the first floor for a beer and let you know his chances.
