  • Great post precision. McGowan is a goose. Based his bull dust on false figures. Does nothing for months to encourage people to get vaccinated in WA, so that they can open the borders to allow people who want to visit family can come home, but the hy…
  • "speeding comet knocking up.... "  ran 3rd...  :-?? Called it about 8th over the line
  • Actually, apart from unders on the tote; the ONLY place you won't get banned for winning
  • Bookielover a few questions - how big is Betfair and do all big punters and individual bookmakers use it ? Out of curiosity would it be possible for Tabcorp to run something similar ? Is it for the serious punter the "only way to bet" and is it…
  • Jay Jay and co. this was my top 10 at the start of this thread. Harness racing was the centre of my universe for 30 years. Don't know what happened but it hasn't been on my radar for at least a decade. Anyone in that time good enough to bump some of…
  • @Amyquil So what happens to non-triers if trainers stop using jiggers? Furthermore, what happens when they ban the whip, which they eventually will. It's all well and good for the industry to cut of its nose to spite its face but there will be no in…
  • Weir and lawyer  proposed to settle for a 2 year ban. Weir is playing with himself and everyone else's. If guilty and hard to presume the video and audio evidence will prove otherwise he should get a life ban.  He has amassed a fortune fraudulently …

  • Thanks Slip, I guess as an outsider you can only guess what goes on. If these incidents (Aquanita, Weir, cobalt) keep occurring the only answer may be an amnesty
  • I guess the thought that really concerns me is the possibility that the reason no offender is shunned by their peers is because they're all doing it and they all know they're all doing it. Hopefully not. If so, it certainly will all come crashing do…
  • This industry is its own worst enemy and if it comes crashing down only morons will be blaming the animal lobby. No one shoots themselves in the foot like the clowns in this industry
  • Speaking of insular: they obviously have no idea how the industry is perceived. All these media apologists and dependants saying, as they always do, this is bad for racing. No. This is good for racing. If everybody outside of the sport assumes this …
  • Unless I was able to view as a visitor I would never have known whether it was worth joining
  • doctorgolly should be banned from this site after comments like that.I hope Martin has a lawyer who might do a pro-bono....Once again Uncle Falcon, the conscience of PTT. I'm sure if doctorgolly is defaming someone here the victim can fend for them…
  • Mmmmm...not for me, carey...I just think of Dookums Humphries, made a fortune out of them!! who is dookum humphries? if he was a bookie, then he probably added the odds of the four rather than multiplied them. but quaddies are pari mutuel, not book…
  • Loose Goose said ".... and would Wes Cameron have the sole say who goes on air or not ?" He is Station Manager so I would presume so, but no doubt there are others in RWWA or government who would have more say if they wished.
  • yes, fair comment. but people should be free to say what they like, provided it's true, and whether they are licensed or not if it's not true, then they should not be saying it, licensed or not. i am confident of what i say, as far as it being tr…
  •  The stupid part is that Rio wasn't leading or driving this debate: it was a pair of eastern stater's who seemingly have no connection to this industry. Surely those two guys are only the ones worth silencing here; and good luck with that!  pretty …
  • There's always high profile people whinging about being attacked by "keyboard warriors" hiding behind pseudonyms, our tiresome leading race caller being one; in this situation though, Rio has made no secret of his identity, and it is a RWWA employee…
  • If you accept that there is some logic to the averages you speak of then I can only assume it is because the figures referred to are not their current (at the time) local ratings. The clue is possibly in the sentence where "performance ratings" are…
  • Current 2 metro track (Ascot/Belmont) status quo fully supported by PR, Thoroughbred industry bodies and influential participants. Not sure RWWA has a position. PR's opinion matters, does it?
  • the good days are long over and they ain't coming back. no matter what they do. racing is not entertainment, it's a means to gambling and nothing more. if you want to get kids interested in racing, then you have to teach them to gamble. but, who in…
  • To those of you who watch more races than me: does Glenn Smith always ride as passively as he did on Just Act Natural? I've only watched it once but I didn't see any vigour. Then again, the winning rider seemed about the same. To me (on one viewing)…
  • If you think you can call better put your hand up and do it then, till then....... You will always get a 'like' from The Falcon when you put up this idiotic argument. It's no different to you saying "if you can do better..." when a surgeon is criti…
  • If you are Glenn Smith and you saw how many times Jarrad Noske whipped Star Exhibit you'd be darker than Kamahl. It will be interesting to see what the stewards dish up. I haven't seen the head on so I don't how many connected but I counted 28 or 29…
  • the Cup is run in exactly 3d and 21 hours as of 8:40am this morning, do the math and work out what time the first race jumps if your that desperate lol  Unlikely
  • Ps. I congratulate him for achieving what he has. Wouldn't everyone want their passion to be their job. It's been a steady climb. He hasn't got there by treading on toes. But at the same time he has made great use of populism
  • Of course D.Mac would be playing it down. The way he talks about D.Whyte on the radio, it's obvious they are good friends. I will be listening in tomorrow to see if there is any talk about it but I doubt it, nobody will have the courage to speak up …
  • Starts next monday 29th aug. Wes and hall first up. Better to be facing up to Wes & Hall, than Wes Hall :p Nah, give me Wes Hall. Pretty scary but it's over with quickly.
