  • You make some great points . If you are going to do the tv the adds need to be not repetitive and have an editor! The Winning Rupert add is a beauty. A majestic horse galloping through horse shit in his paddock!

  • Good on Perth Racing to stop taking crap from sky channel getting bumped continuously for a”Dapto dog” race with $500 in the win pool. Good on them!!
  • One of them would not have ridden in town if the rule Was in place. My understanding is the senior jockeys have the final say. This rule was implemented as a knee jerk reaction to an apprentice causing a fall in a Perth cup over 20 years ago. There …
  • So on another note today the stewards took it upon themselves to let an apprentice ride in a metropolitan Saturday race that had not completed his 20 provincial A wins. Z Johnston porter.They just seem to make the rules to suit themselves. What’s th…
  • This is a real bug bear of mine. They changed the system a few years back to having to ride 20 provincial a winners and you were seeing more and more apprentices complete their apprenticeship not being able to ride in town on a Saturday. This really…
  • Can’t agree more glamour. 7plus is doing a great job and I love their interviews in between races. Don’t even turn to sky now.
  • The other sporting clubs can put their hand out. But I seriously doubt any other club in Kalgoorlie brings in the money to the region that the race club does.
  • There are many that you could mention. The one that I found a gifted rider and an even better bloke was Ron Franklin
  • Another great effort by Grant and Alana, Western Empire taking out the Northerly then they beat diamond scene in the Perth cup. Bet Bob was wishing he had given them a little bit more credit for their efforts along the way now.!
  • I just can’t understand why we are not racing in the morning? The afternoon is the hottest part of the day. They should have a set plan for when it is above a certain temperature instead of throwing meetings around.

  • Jimmy was a very good man. very genuine very sad to hear
  • About the mid nineties his last couple of winners would Have been Persist a While and Navajo Majic
  • I can’t still understand why they haven’t developed Lark Hill with the hot weather on the weekend 40° and above. If you look at the weather in Mandurah maximum 37°. It really is a no brainer but obviously they don’t want to spend the money

  • They must’ve changed the rules because my understanding if the rider had to get off and the horse had to be led to the barriers, it was automatically sent back to trials,
  • I don’t as out there I will never forget where I was
  • Couldn’t agree more. Was one of the better rides you’ll see admittedly mostly on the best horse. But not to fall into the get back run home mentality and realise that the middle of the track was the fastest was extremely clever.
  • That would have to be the best one yet by sky channel bumped to sky 2 while they reshod a horse at Rosehill not even running the race just because one had to be reshod still hadn’t even loaded them after the race at ascot had been finished.
  • Not sure on his age. But yes, unfortunately his apprenticeship ends at the end of July.
  • TS he is also a very good kid to go with it. I wish him every success.
  • Fantastic to see .
  • Prisoner was early 90’s Willie Burt rode a bit for Lindsay Loved the hogged mane
  • STG is 100% correct it was Sky’s Above D Gundry ,that beat Blixt Jackman, in the plunge.
  • So Kristy Bennett gets $400 fine for slowing the pace and nothing for b Parnham In the sires?? Stewards alway pick the easy target . Very weak.
  • There is no better rider that I have ever seen from outside the leader than the Pontiff, he works on the theory that if I let the leader do as it wants untill straightening I have only one to beat. There are a fair few seniors that really don't unde…
  • Yep ears smears but Eyeore ways sat 4 deep the trip and ran .15 seconds quicker last 600 and 1.50 seconds quicker than the main race .

  • WOW!
  • And what about his master who he rode the horse for Gollan He was obviously riding to his instructions he wouldn’t be going against his own boss

  • Can’t help but feel for Peta Edwards getting time for coming out on the corner on King Blitz. I thought it was insignificant Compared to Mcnaught on Wednesday on sky five and she got a reprimand. What a joke!
