The day after New Years Eve have anything to do with it ?]]> Esperance Boxing Day Races - Problems Again? https://mail.ptt.juicebox.cloudsites.net.au/discussion/discussion/9312/esperance-boxing-day-races-problems-again Tue, 28 Dec 2010 14:58:48 +0000 NickelTown 9312@/discussion/discussions
It seems the whole town plus all of the tourists turn up to the boxing day event to be dissapointed again.

Not enough tote facilties, only 1 outlet to purchase alcohol and again only 1 outlet to purchase food and soft drink. The wait in the cues to purchase ANYTHING was approximately 30 minutes before race 5 on an 8 event card. This is when I left the track completey dissapointed along with many others in frustration.

Before I left they were having power troubles where not only were the tote machines periodically not working we also had 2 races where the race caller had no power and therefore no call for the race (whilst I was there and I'm not sure if the problem continued).

I'm not sure what the power problems were though surely the tote, the tv's (more of those are required also) and the caller MUST be on their own power supply with back up power supply ready.

As for the catering, why not have beer tents and food vans at different sections of the facilty to cater for these events. If staffing is an issue, don't be greedy and encourage the other sporting clubs to contribute (maybe at a percentage?) to ease the burden. The bar staff seemed totally overwhelmed and exhausted.

And then there were the drunken (legal) younger brigade who were totally not supervised on their consumption of alcohol.

Come on Esperance get it right, I love going to your track but maybe never again on your bigger days.[/b]]]> Radioactive https://mail.ptt.juicebox.cloudsites.net.au/discussion/discussion/9294/radioactive Sat, 25 Dec 2010 15:33:48 +0000 Shergar 9294@/discussion/discussions Can anyone throw some light on how he ended up in the West and how he came to be abandoned.

PS - If you know who'll win the Perth Cup, a heads up would be nice! :)]]> Jockey Welfare Initiative https://mail.ptt.juicebox.cloudsites.net.au/discussion/discussion/9289/jockey-welfare-initiative Fri, 24 Dec 2010 10:33:48 +0000 9289@/discussion/discussions Principal Racing Authorities around Australia have entered arrangements with the Australian Jockeys? Association (AJA) and State Jockey Associations by providing 1% of all annual thoroughbred stake money for jockey and apprentice welfare and support.

Racing and Wagering Western Australia (RWWA) contributes over $500,000 annually towards this scheme through jockey and apprentice Public Liability, Personal Accident, a Career Benefit Scheme and other welfare programs.

One of the welfare initiatives agreed between RWWA and the Western Australian Jockeys? Association has been to engage the services of Sportsmed Subiaco, a consultant sports doctor service to oversee jockey and apprentice riding injuries and the early benefits of this partnership are being noticed already.

The service is headed up by the Medical Director Dr Gerard Taylor, who has worked in Sports Medicine for 17 years and is the team doctor for the West Coast Eagles.

The partnership is already paying dividends for some of our sport?s athletes.

Ben Kennedy suffered a serious fracture of his wrist in a race fall on 6 October 2010 from Giant?s Island at Belmont Park. Following surgery on the wrist, he was initially not expected to return to race riding until mid to late February, but after receiving a clearance at the end of last week, Ben took 7 trial rides on Monday and returned to race riding on Wednesday 22 December some 6 weeks ahead of schedule.

Duncan Miller has also received the benefit of the partnership. Breaking his collarbone in a fall after the post at Bunbury on 24 November, he underwent surgery to insert a plate under the medical team?s guidance and he returned to race riding 15 December, spending only 3 weeks on the sidelines.

And most recently, Grant Lemos fell at Narrogin last Saturday, and whilst transported to Narrogin Hospital for observation, Dr Taylor was advised of the fall and the hospital that he was being transported to ? enabling him to speak to the doctor on duty, and arranged to see Grant on the following morning, Sunday, at his Clinic at St John of God, Subiaco, where he diagnosed a fracture of P12 vertebra.

Whilst this can be a long term injury, Dr Taylor has arranged to see Grant again in 4 weeks, with expectation that a return as early as 6 weeks may be possible.

The feedback from the apprentices and jockeys has been very positive, giving them full confidence in the advice and support they now receive, but most of all, getting them back to race riding much faster what has occurred in many previous cases.]]> Grant Lemos https://mail.ptt.juicebox.cloudsites.net.au/discussion/discussion/9268/grant-lemos Sun, 19 Dec 2010 14:13:17 +0000 slipatiptome 9268@/discussion/discussions
