Back to Albany think for The Spruiker, can pick up a win there. Royal Gap - Geraldton horse through and through. Very hard to follow that one.
-
Just the 2 bets both in the same race at double figure odds and they’re the two eldest in the field at 7 and 8yrs old. They’re in race 5 - liked his run recently at Albany made up solid ground on the short priced favourite - was a good return to f…

Remember that well because after Prince Of Penzance - was on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th horses in that Cup, and the horse that beat Winx am sure was the one that ran 5th. Max Dynamite was second, and one of the others was a handy horse - Criterion…

Yes of course…too true! Remember her losing possibly the Oaks and think J Moreria was the hoop. The horse that beat her finished up running a very creditable and unlucky 5th in a Melbourne Cup to Prince Of Penzance.

Only 2 bets for the day and not confident! In the lucky last been a bit out of form this guy, had a good run awhile ago in town, might be the race to get him back on track again - each way Planet Cash and same race a silly rough one each way too …

Good to see Ash Maley break a little drought today with Impressive Jewell she has fought back a few times now. Never has much luck at the barrier draw that trainer. Can remember his old grey horse Push To Pass winning the Esperance Cup at double f…

Ah the Sporting Globe can remember that paper came out once a week we could buy it in Perth think perhaps hit the news agency on a Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning had all the track work scribes and information too, they had the photo results…

Slip you would’ve liked that headline from the Daily News in 1987 after Pat Cash defeated Ivan Lendl to win Wimbledon. Cash Beats A Czech. Yes okay fair enough…3 days then went by…oh of course…i get it. Yes especially in 1987 Cash always did b…

^^Hahahaha.

The other thing with concession betting was who wants insurance on a racetrack ?!! You win or you lose, live or die trying…overall didn’t see the point of betting concession however if got the right odds ( all subjective ) then it was good and yes…
-
And bookie where i occasionally had a bet concession and this was the advantage of having a vibrant good sized betting ring and if quick enough if you noticed say a horse being specked around 10/1 and a few perhaps bringing it into around 8/1 and y…

Nothing better than listening to race and trot broadcasts on the ABC by Max Simmonds and George G they were exceptional. Mr. Simmonds he very if ever made a mistake in a photo finish and back then they could come from everywhere in the last 50 metre…

One thing for certain whichever viewpoint take within 2 years one of the camps will be saying “ i told you so.” Right now keep coming back to 9/13 and over 2.5 million in the bank what more can you do ? So I’ll side there, however the argument that…
-
Very difficult and one of the rare occasions tend to sit on the fence - can’t help but feel for the guy. The top class horses so hard to get. The argument of who’s paying the bills is more than valid too. By a about a long head but enough to swe…

That was a freakish trotter saw a replay maybe an inters trotting final Moonee Valley biggest certainty beaten ever seen. Sokyola and Smoken Up were the tough cookies STG, that Sokyola one night at Globe Derby beaten and got off the canvas to win.…
-
Marko maybeeeee their was a late scratching or something like that, no that shouldn’t make any difference - concession - money back is money back. Although if say a fancied runner is scratched at the barrier ok there’s a deduction on the win of co…
-
Recall the trotter Knight Pistol winning a few times when shouldn’t have, a win at Globe Derby stands out and another at Moonee Valley also it could beat the pacers which did happen from time to time. Also forgotten there names now but those bulld…
-
Yes remember Manifold Bay it came here with massive wraps on it. They were bloody strong fields back then too with depth. The eastern states and NZ horses came here without hesitation - Blossom Lady, Master Musician came across the ditch to compet…
-
Yes absolutely Lisa Harris was a capable rider had forgotten her and there’s several others. They were pioneers.
-
Never heard that before Marko but you could be right - thought concession betting the price you took was the price you got and received all your money back if placed. Odds on fave in the race could’ve been different rules but don’t recall any deduct…
-
Later on in his career there was a race where even the commentator was shocked Lang lost by a nose was so rare to see that. How he could consistently time it to win by a slender margin beats me. Eventually have to lose one and that was one of not …
-
Was Beefy Tee Marko can’t think who drove it now a Queensland driver possibly..was last or second last into the straight…and don’t think did a hell of a lot after that win. Didn’t think was Gavin Lang but how many races did that guy time it to win b…
-
^^Thats the one. Got another big race winner coming up - Tux And Tails somehow will win down Albany! Never has much luck, weak field good draw and can deliver.
-
Guess the other thing with bookmaking as you touched on Bookie is that sometimes the favourite winning is not your worst result ? Recall hearing of a late 5k bet on Luckygray at 20/1 before won his second Railway Stakes which took the book from a …

Heard Darren Lehman with modesty say on ABC radio that he wouldn’t have made a run on the wickets of today. Imagine facing Anderson from England at his best on these wickets he’d be getting a 8 for every game. Or Malcom Marshall storming in, hard …
-
Remember Greg Shipherd from WA how highly did he value his wicket! Wouldn’t get a look in today. That guy could bat for hours. Chris Tavare from England another. Simon Goodwin too, recall Graeme Wood bringing up his 100 in the last over of the da…

Print has gone small, that’s happened to me before, hopeless on these things. That’s better now, as someone said to me once don’t touch anything!!
-
Fantastic to see the names of the races today, that’s a wonderful gesture. Remember them all riding very well.
-
At GP two excellent wins remember was when Justaboyden took off in a Pacing Cup woooosh never seen a pacer sprint like that. And can’t recall it’s name now eastern states horse won the Golden Nugget coming from an impossible position top of the s…
