Was at Ascot for the last 4 Saturdays and enjoyed it immensely. Bookies were competitive with their odds and I noticed one bookie holding over $12,000 on one race on Saturday. That's not a record, Bob Howatt laid single bets that size to Laurie Conn…

I took my young kids yesterday just for a day out. Good even days racing, but gee, not one incentive provided whatsoever to encourage attendance. 1 bar, one food outlet,1 bookmaker, bare minimum tote facilities they can get a way with, no access clo…

My old mate Falcon has been telling me for years that Belmont is a shizen hole. Anyway, thanks to Bunbury being out of play, their programs have been transferred to Belmont, allowing me to go there. We had never been before as it’s the winter track,…

Been to the last three Saturday ‘s at Ascot, one more to go before we go home.Have enjoyed every one of them with this weeks being the best. The racing was fantastic.Plenty of money being wagered in the main ring with the 6 bookies, and great to see…

He’s been fined 2000 with 1000 suspended for 24 months. I reckon the prick who leaked it should have been fined 50,000. To add to Moody’s fine, the owners took the horse away and gave it to Maher Eustice stable. Just what they need, another slow hor…

Just a comment to Jimmy Pop. I would jail drug sellers for life and throw away the key. But that’s just me.The law in Australia doesn’t allow for that. Even Tony Mokbel will get out in time. And if ever a bloke deserves to rot in jail, it’s him. You…

Being from interstate, I’ll throw something on Yonkers and Iron Clad. Waller is a ge, and Clarken is a top trainer whose won good races in Melbourne when he’s traveled over from SA.

alaskan god on the front page of the TABform is usually a dead set mock. My dad used to lay the tripe out of any horse in Melbourne which appeared on the front page of the sun or herald. They had a 100% loss record, and nothing has changed!!

Haven’t been to GP yet and won’t be going this Friday either. Reason, too bloody cold. I spoke to Steve Mulhall who told me he froze his salada crackers off on Friday night. I’ve just seen the forecast and after this hot spell, it’s back to winter o…

The more that I have read the comments here since my own post, the angrier I have become at the disgraceful treatment of Stuart. I never met the bloke, but that’s irrelevant. As far as I’m concerned, you do the crime you do the time and that’s it. …

As John Elliot would say about the proposed GP development, pigs arssssse :@)

Always been a nice day out Bookie. I spent the first 15years if my life in that little piece of paradise. Enjoy the rest of the trip in the manner that I know you and Falcon can. Best wishes Great to hear from you mate. It’s tough keeping a a tight…

Nice day out at Ascot yesterday. For males, it was a breast lovers feast. Only 12,000 there. I recall being there in 2008 and 20,000 plus attended. People obviously can’t afford to go like they used to. Just on that 2008 cup, I remember the three in…

Fair dinkum anymore whinging,instead of gambling why not buy your wife a coat the forecast was in but you did not take notice.Gas heaters wtf, again a coat would have helped and i am not going to explain about hats or scarfs just research them you w…

Just got back to the hotel from Ascot. Bloody freezing. We came here to get away from that weather.Some of the women need their heads read. As my missus, who would have got hypothermia if we’d stayed said, they must have picked out an outfit and de…

Thanks Sonny.

The boss and I are in Perth having arrived yesterday. We were planning to go tonight but , we are old and stuffed and need a good nights sleep to be ready for Ascot tomorrow. Having said that, I’ve watched the first three races, and two things str…

I've seen that horse win its every start. Hasn't beaten much, but the way and ease it's done it is something to behold.I can't wait to see it up against the good ones.

Why would they sell him when the horse has just won them millions! Selling horses is all about the business aspect of racing and they’re definitely not short of a dollar now after yesterdays win Bank the prizemoney and continue racing and enjoy the …

Meatpie, Melbourne quaddie pool is up to four times bigger than NSW depending on the meeting.Also, even the Perth Quaddie, the pool can get up to $300,000 in it, especially now with daylight savings, against an average $500,000 pool in NSW where you…

If there is one thing that I have always agreed with where both Ken and Richard Callender are concerned, it is that PUNTERS pay for racing. Yes, you need breeders to breed horses, and owners to buy them, and pay the training fees, but without the …

Went to the Carbine Club luncheon one day and Richie was a guest speaker.Told a few gags and he was hilarious.For those that attended and can remember the one where he was playing golf and was sweating on a double that he had coming up which lost. T…

LOL Thunder.I haven't seen his old man for a while, so you could be right. I never had an issue with him expressing his opinion, when he actually meant what he said. That's all changed now. As far as my bookie mate is concerned who said that he's a…

Warren Woodcock senior was a USA professional tennis player. I think Warren Junior was born in the States, but married an Aussie, moved here, his old man took out a license and Warren Junior joined him. A quick update on bookie numbers. Moonee Vall…

Brilliant tipping in the first two, particularly race 2. Followed you in Slip, so owe you a beer or two....... :D

I just checked the number of bookies that will be working at the Caulfield Cup carnival, and other tracks for the first two weeks in October. I think it's fair to say,that Victoria, is the virtually the last bastion where you will get a decent numbe…

Just a matter of opinion but has the demise of Bookmakers on course diminished the Racing Experience and how much would you think it’s affected on course numbers. There's no doubt that the demise of a strong, vibrant betting ring, has meant that it…
