OK from the get go I just want to ask how many people had trouble even finding the 7Plus chanel? Are there any ratings? Can we find out how many viewers watch 7Plus coverage of WA racing? And how much is it costing RWWA or Whoever is paying for it? That said How Old is the Format Already for the 7Plus WA raceday coverage? I have a friend that watched for 1 hour recently and they became bored with the same continuous 4 advertisers about stud farms or agistment venues and Not 1 of them had a tree in a paddock? Plenty of trees Around the paddocks None in the paddocks?? Horses swishing tails and shaking heads from fly invasion! And the 7Plus Poorly produced Lame Stories about some lucky or luckless racing game person, is this TV Entertainment or just an extension of Post race Interviews where the participants firstly the trainer says something Condescending about the horse, he or she rarely even mention the horses name and somehow they have Miraculously solved All it's She or He's problems and got it to Run Fast. Then something patronising about the little person, like he's a good little rider this bloke or this girl and it gets even funnier when some Obese trainer who has never ridden a horse says they rode it Exactly to my instructions, Then the little person gets to say something complimentary or condescending about the horse then, similarly they also managed to tame this wild beast and make it run fast something No Other rider could have done LOL. I think you can see where this is heading How may Punters are hanging on Every Word??? My Guess NONE! So lets just see Vision of the horses walking around the mounting yard including their legs not just some half random shot while the genius tipster tells us every stat about about why they can or can't win, Let us punters just see a good wide shot like hong kong without any comments just a bit of light music and we'll do our own due diligence Because the genius's are tipping the Favorite in 85% of the races and Furthermore the genius's are religiously tipping 15% of the winners that's 2 out of 8. If the tipsters are that smart wouldn't they be backing Every winner making a fortune and Not Boring or Annoying the Crap out of real Punters? Let me know your thoughts Punters? on Perth Turf talk

I was listening to a chat with a pro punter a few years back and he was discussing how as a punter he is lucky in that he doesnt have to be right all the time - he can skip races, doesnt even have to do every race if he doesnt feel like it he just had to be right often enough on that one horse in that one race he choses to have a bet.
Where as a bookie - particularly one going first to market has to be right on every horse in every race!

Love all the banter Fellow Perth Turf Talk Punters, you have all thrown in your sixpence worth over the Tipster Fiasco, Question does it have any regulation? do the people who employ the tipsters have any clue? How do these pre and post-race people "That’s the best way I can word it" They are not MC's or Comperes they are just talking heads, how are they selected for the job is it a Church or Linkedin or CEO's Club thing? None of them from what I see are former jockeys, trainers or bookies, although some are relatives of the same they just seem to be in that Social circle then they bob up, one in particularly a Little dapper Dan let's call him Dickie "Ooh You Are Awful... But I Like You!" He can quote you when the horse was beaten 4 starts ago the wind direction on the day, if the horse was late on course because the driver went the wrong way to the track, the temperature at the time the race was run, if the jockey had a toothache, what the trainer wore was it the powder blue pinstripe lucky suit or another ensemble, and has the horse not missed the start by a 1/4 of a length may have run 5th and Not 8th as its numerically shown in your book, Crikey Dickie Too Much Information, then you want to bore the **** out of us after the race with the post-race interview with a numpty trainer who didn’t finish Rockingham High School, impart on us a load of crap where NO PUNTER IS HANGING ON ANY WORD! Then the jockey and if it wins an 1100, 1200, 1300, or 1400 they ask do you think it will Get a Mile? Only Clever response I ever heard to this Continuously asked question was when Lindsey smith said Why do they pay more for a Mile or for winning margins... Onya Lindsey some light relief from the cringe worthy interviewer. Here's another gem for Free. Silks are the white Pants worn by riders they are Not The shirt worn by riders that would be called Colours, however the uninformed Race Callers and pre and Post race people keep calling Colours Silks WRONG Get Informed. Now let’s move on to the so called Good Horse Trainers, but 1st lets Go Back think of the 60's & 70's Blokes like Jack Kirkpatrick and the 70's & 80s Buster O'Malley Good Trainers who could produce a horse first up over any distance and declare it and back it, they regularly landed plunges with average horses and in Busters case Long Before Laurie Connell came on the scene, I also think of what I consider the Greatest Training Performance of All time when in 1999 King Of Saxony won the Perth Cup over 2 Miles 1st up No Shoes Unshod, carrying a tendon issue, ridden by arguably the Best Money rider the state had seen since JJ Miller the question is who trained it JJ, Kay or Raymond Miller form his home in Casuarina... So good was the performance he beat 'Top Jockey Troy Turner' on Rogan Josh who later that year won The Melbourne Cup, I can’t believe Someone hasn't made a Movie about that story, forget Media Puzzle, or Prince of Penzance, allegedly one of those was a Boatie and the other had a bit of treadmill assistance. Good Horse Trainers, used to feed Corn, Oats & Cooked Barley & Linseed and work them hard Until they knew they were fit, Nowadays So Called good Horse trainers feed them out of a pre mixed bag this was the brainchild of John Hawkes who ,had horses in 4 different states and didn’t want them fed differently in each state So in discussion with his owners the Chicken Kings The Ingham Brothers Bob n Jack he said hey you mix feed to make chickens grow an inch a week for 16 weeks before they go to market, can you design a food for horses So they did and Mita Vite was born. Now all the So Called good trainers feed out of a bag, and Trial a horse 1, 2 3, or 4 times because they Can't tell if a Horse is fit enough to back 1st up. Ok let rip PTT Peeps I'd like to hear your thoughts on these topics Fair Craic 69

Australia's once biggest tote punter(Wyongi on this forum), made a living by betting against those 'experts'

Skip over the eventual winner with comment looking for something easier Marto all in three seconds,
Then after race it has sailed down the outside to win at 20/1.Allocation time increases to --30-50 seconds--
,Marto you could have easily been on the winner on its last start after having six week break was caught 3&4 wide on hot speed just kept wacking away beaten less then 2 lengths today, found surface to suit as well likes to get its toe into the ground, plus its won twice previously fourth up
Yer Marto it wasn't a hard find.
Legendary Harness Driver Trainer Brain Hancock featured in tape on how and why he feed his horses he used Jimmy crack corn, Pollard lurcene, rolled oats,etc why it was good for them and his success was centred around it.We are talking someone was involved in winning of 6 Interdomions
Quite few years later all my success was based on Mitavite you can buy bags iany where in Australia& NZ. Horses love it.
1989 Interdomion in Perth there was leading Swiss authority who gave a talk on blood profiles and latest beneficial analysis and trends.Ray Miller was in crowd discussing with what he knew and believed, sounded feasible to me.
