Race 1 - No Mystery It appears a lot of owners and trainers have opted for the footy over the gallops with some very thin acceptances. It isn’t a card which gets the blood flowing. Af...

or what about moving all metro racing to Broome, Carnarvon and Roebourne? I'm sure all participants would love to get out of the cold.I can see a Marble Bar Belmont Oaks being a huge day.

Why don't they think outside the box? Add a meeting or two at York, Narrogin or even Toodyay. Take the load off Bunbury, Pinjarra and Northam so they can stand in for Belmont. Pinjarra Thursday has 4x maidens, 2x C1s, a 54+ and a C5. No reason a meeting l...

Drive for show, putt for dough they say. JJ did both. In spades. A very worthy winner in the toughest battle of attrition I think I have seen. It was all going so well for Burns. He birdies 10 after the rain break and was at -2, 2 shots clear of Adam Sc...

The $25 -$30 million spent to provide "all year round racing on an all weather track" may be seriously tested with the probability of 40mm over the next two days.4 mm seems to knock Belmont out these days, so nothing ventured, just 25 million lost.Pinjarra Sat...

More than happy to keep the % the same, but the prize money increase over the last few years should cover the increase in cost that's all dependent if the horses are earning tho if there not earning then the prize money increase isn't really covering the i...

Realistically it looks like Belmont will have a handful of meetings before we're back at Ascot. There's so little chance that the work being undertaken will result in a fix in the time frame they're predicting. The concern in the short term is- how will the s...

Longest putt JJ Spaun had holed this year was 35'. On the back 9 today he sank a 40 footer and the longest putt by anyone this week, a whopping 64 footer to win it on 18.
