Well done Brady. I wonder how much horses were affected by running the race around 10 minutes late. They were walking around in 30 plus degree heat, when they should have been placed in the barriers, and the race run on time. I reckon, some of them …

I'd like to know who is responsible for the choice of Brittany's headwear today. She looks ridiculous in it. If she chose it, that's even worse. Bugs Bunny, eat your heart out. :-O

Thanks for taking the time to respond.That’s not too bad considering the state of affairs of on course bookmaking around Australia, except for Melbourne, and Victoria. There will be 52 at Caulfield, and yes that includes some bookies with more than …

Went to my first Kal Cup. I have to say, it runs way smoother than a big day at Ascot. Hats off to the bar staff, one person plugging the drinks in the system, the other fetching. There were long lines, but waited no longer that 3-4 mins at peak tim…

What happened to such and such bolts clear "interest in the minors"? It seems some callers have very little interest in the minors which certainly discredits their trade in my opinion. That was my point Rodent, it just took me half an hour to make i…

Mine happened just yesterday. Mate of mine tipped me his horse at Moe yesterday. Said it can't beat the fave {which started at $1.20 and won by 6 lengths}, but it should run a place. So I had 10% of my bet for a win, just in case, after all, Ajax g…

I reckon your referring to Everett BL, I backed her too for the place only.Carleen had a chequered passage in the run but it finished off quite nicely. But I get your point as even though i watched it he didn't call the other one until it hit the l…

Big punter.

With great respect. You have got some very ordinary jockeys in Perth.

She is, most likely, a very nice person, but I have posted about her before and made no secret of the fact that I couldn’t cop her piercing, squeaky voice. I found the presentation on Saturday with the two blokes, a pleasure to listen to.

Great interview with the McCormack's. They came across as I found them when in Perth for the Pinnacles carnival, quietly spoken gentlemen. I wasnbetting big, but it was a pleasure betting with them and having some interesting chats along the way. …

Munsie was a bookies clerk and worked for Robbie Waterhouse. The man had absolutely no idea, but put himself across as an expert. A prime example was when he was giving out the odds on a race at Randwick one day and said" this has been a massive go,…

Just a note on Tony Ottore who organised the go fund me for the Holland family. He owns all the horses with the name Jenni in them. Again, tragically, he lost his daughter Jenni to cancer. What he did to immediately start the fund and donate $100,00…

I’m in Adelaide and the racing community here is shattered. I’ve known quite a few jockeys in my time, and going back to the 70’s 80’s and 90’s, I would socialise with a few and would hear stories from them about how close they came to be injured or…

Race 1 bumped to sky 2…. Then a NZ race takes precedence… that is pulling the PIZZ. Once again, the FIRST race at Ascot ran late. This time by two minutes. They do it week after week. The worst part was, that because the NZ race was on 527 we had…

With great respect to those punters. Go to the bloody race course and bet with the on course bookies. As long as you hand over your cash, they won't give a stuff whether or not you can afford to have a bet.

Okay BL when are you releasing your book of Turf Tales? Terrific stories. I need a few more to pass on to the big racetrack in the sky, before I write a book. Mind you, I've got to hang on myself :))

It’s worth a shot the crowds couldn’t get much worse I agree 100% LLT and the tote turnover Fixed and Tote will not drop, but will the crowds go ? My guess is no, would you go LLT ? Psycho, I was interested to read your previous post about night …

Brilliant contribution BL and great to know you have a heart Rusty :D Thanks Slip. When I recall the stories I heard, and the joy of going to the track from about 1965 until 2000 with my dad, I really lament what has happened in this country to t…

Rusty, you sound like the six million dollar man. It's amazing what medical science can do nowadays. The secret when you get a heart attack, is to survive it. If you can do that, as you have, they can patch you up with stents, or by passes and inse…

Thanks for posting Rusty, And welcome back. I hope you are well.Iv'e known Mark for a long time. The last time I spoke to him was when he lived in Collins Street Melbourne, and I haven't seen him since then. I know he suffered a stroke, but he appea…

Berry got away more lightly than an anorexic, Remind me again what did Munce get in Singapore... 30 months in jail He also got away lightly. Has since been under various charges as a trainer in Oz. Bullshitt What did he actually do wrong nothing -…

I don't really care as long as it guarantee's as much as possible that we get the best horses racing here in Melbourne during our carnival

Certainly is with my 70s porn star look. Known then as Slipper One :D You were a fine figure of a man back then, mate. Did you do any good for yourself!! Speaking of Gina, and totally out of left field, I remember 60 years ago watching a Looney Tu…
