  • Is this Saturday's Belmont Sprint the last WA hurrah for Indianna Weinert and Smooth Chino prior to her move to SA ? Does anyone think his 106 rating based on just WA form will be found wanting moving across to essentially a Melbourne Carnival scen…
  • I was on Royal Crest in race 3.  Turned the race off at the 400m……you normally only see come backs like that in jumps racing but to be fair they were finishing at a similar speed 
  • One thing I should have said, stakes money in SA is simply nowhere. The leading Trainer in the State is just over $1M in total won, so that is 25% of WA  They are also non competitive to the raiders from Melbourne and Sydney.  As soon as they have a…
  • Hadn’t seen the trials so went and watched half a dozen.  I can actually see what you are talking about across the track at about the 200m mark but I’m 98% sure they were on the inside track and not the main track today.  
  • Sam Highland is strong on this over east, we just call them off because they’d prefer to race in better conditions.  Often they site visibility and he says show me the race where the horses were crashing into each other because they couldn’t see……it…
  • This seems like such a weak decision.  Was it going to be unsafe?  Or do we just not like a heavy track so better to call them off?  I thought if it’s not unsafe then you should be racing
  • And I’m sure there’s a Terms and conditions section on the TABtouch units that says by using it you agree to everything and agree their decisions are final and are to be made in their sole discretion on all settlements blah blah blah 
  • That’s unbelievable they can do that and get away with it, at least so far.   Unfortunately In everything we do these days we enter contracts by ticking a box with zero knowledge of what we have just agreed to.  But there’s no option, no one has the…
  • There is a big problem with this new law stating that deposited funds must be turned over, as most  outlets have auto Tab machines popping everywhere and there are less window operated machines with a till,even on course ,an Eg. GP on Tuesday nights…
  • Is it possible that a trainer can have a protocol for using performance enhancing drugs that they know they can get away with and all is good until something unforeseen happens? Horse gets swabbed under totally different circumstances to what has be…
  • If all of their horses are going to race as usual from now on under Donna Riordans name as per nomms for this week then just let them train in their own right until it’s sorted.  It’s farcical to pretend what we can all see is going on is not actual…
  • Methylphrenidate (ritalin) tends to work for 3-4 hours and has a short half-life. Half-life is the time it takes for half of a substance to move through your system, and it is quite short at just 2-3 hours. A standard dose for an ADHD child is about…
  • Ernie Manning's story in The West the other day has Grant Williams attributing blame to Kalgoorlie barrier attendant. Havent read Ernies  article/story , it would be good if someone could put this in this thread  I  do have a soft spot for Grant - …
  • If you consider that WA is about to lose most likely two Gr1 races being downgraded by The Asian Pattern Committee, the urge will be by RWWA to maintain those high stakes rather than drop them to 50% and spread the other 50% across maybe 20 Listed r…
  • Apparently, when RWWA Stewards went shopping for a frying pan, they bought the smallest one and as a result they can only cook small fish. My bet is that it will amount to a $5,000 fine and nothing more to see.  .  That is an interesting take tha…

  • Would this Williams positive mean that previous samples that are stored frozen, will be tested, or re-tested? If you are referring to the Starry Heights samples, it is the B Sample that has tested positive. Given that the A sample has already been …
  • Stewards report on the day shows Starry Heights was selected for random pre-race blood testing as well as post race testing after being put down.  I notice in all the releases I am hearing that they are only mentioning a positive in the post-mortem …
  • I think of you are going to have a go at tv coverage and how it’s formatted etc then you probably should understand the concept of a paragraph yourself……….
  • It does look like the long-term industry families are doing their best to keep the racing industry afloat. The sale of TAB radio is another nail in its coffin.  How the government can support the loss of jobs and history that is leaving with their d…
  • It's stupid how form guides show El Alamein being disqualified and Urquharts Bluff not running. The form should show Urquharts Bluff being disqualified and El Alamein not running because that is the reality. And the AI form comments from the big cor…
  • A lot of trainers saddle up 8 or 10 horses a meeting. Surely you can’t mix up the only two you have in on the day unless you’re losing it. ????One is a registered "bay", the other a registered "brown". Not giving them any excuses but the difference…
  • Is the trench actually a thing anymore, hard to spot the difference now. I actually agree it seems to have blended in much better now and obviously once the wheather warms up it’ll be exactly the same as the rest of the straight. But I wonder if DM…
  • Think they should perhaps be calling Pinjarra off now with the forecast.  I know you can’t do that but I think there’s none they get through this meet.  Trough expected to sit over the lower west all arvo with massive rainfall expected with severe t…
  • I find it interesting listening to some podcasts that have explained that whilst Australia has a huge reputation as a jurisdiction known for 2yo racing and that’s what we breed for.  In actual fact the percentage of yearlings that go on to race at 2…
  • Massive news coming in. Belmont is essentially off for 2025. Very well placed sources indicate that the track may be sold in it's entirety to developers. More news soon. Well I think NSW made a huge mistake not selling Rosehill if the $5billion figu…
  • Saturday moved to Bunbury. The only positive from all this is it's reduced the number of meetings at Belmont which is depressing at the best of times. I've enjoyed a couple of trips down to Pinjarra. The track has played fair and it's a far nicer fa…
  • Luvnwar has come home in 32.24 after being held up until the 150m mark.  Are we really saying that track was a good 4?  
  • I think you definitely need to do your own form first but then I like to reference with the tips from people like Scott Embry and Terry Leighton.  If I really like one and they haven’t mentioned it I’m certainly not put off, I just think I’ll get an…
