Just wondering what peoples involement in racing is that use this forum ,are you a trainer , jock , strapper , track rider , breeder , member , owner , punter etc etc .
Not having a go at anyones comments as thats what a forum is for , was just curious thats all.
As for me i owner a share in a horse , hold a strappers ticket so when im on r/r can go to trackwork and give the boys a hand as i love the sport and the horses.

    Took the words out of mouth Rick, I was going to do the same as I thought I'd joined a forum for grumpy old men who speak in code and live for an argument. Not the friendliest forum but I don't imagine there are too many other Perth horse racing forums so I'll stick around despite my being largely ignored. (cue violins)

    I am a punter and soon to be shared owner when the right osss turns up. In Oz I only focus on WA tracks (which frankly, of late, I am questioning more and more) but I also follow closely US, Singapore, Hong Kong, UAE, French and German horses. Cheers mate.

    You're asking for trouble Rio! But I appreciate your reply, roger that! Also, since we're mates n'all now, you don't have to use my full name, Paulo is fine. :>

    Don't worry Carey, in fairness, I am hugely ignorable and a twit as well. If you put all that aside, as well as my insistence on gambling on horses (and craps), I am actually a top bloke. Said me.

    " I am hugely ignorable and a twit as well" sounds like you will fit in well Paulo...and as were mates you can now refer to me as Rio..instead of RIO, cos once were mates it doesn't really need to be shouted..

    In all honesty Paulo and Rick, this forum is a lot easier to get into now than it was 18 months ago when i first joined...and if you keep your mind open you may well learn a bit..or even a lot!!!!! :-bd

    I've been an owner, strapper, stablehand and dare I say it a stablerider. Not a good one I'd admit. Now I'm a small mug punter who loses more than I win!! X_X

    That's right RIO, I keep it all for myself...hence the saying 'Radman doesn't give a shit!'

    I'm a breeder owner now, I worked in the stables as i was bought up a jockeys son.

    I now like buying horse property's and have turned my focus to all three codes of racing for three different reasons.

    I can honestly say that I win more on the punt now than I loss through association.

    Thanks. We bought her really cheap, so she owes us nothing. We all had a good lash. I got $48 on Betfair, but less on the place
    We have It Scot Wings in the second at Bunbury. She'll have to start now. Lol
