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 scene…

I believe this matter will not be concluded prior to 29 May. My thoughts are that a further stay of proceedings will be issued.

I didn't take any notice of the meeting until I read this thread. So firstly I had to go look for when did Opportunistic last run, it was of course the race before in which it was correctly identified. Surely this is not a good sign of cognitive ab…

Morphettville is undergoing an urban development of the former overflow carpark and stables, some 7.5HA. It is the sole remaining racecourse in Adelaide metro. Cheltenham was of course lost to developers almost 20 years ago, I drove past it a last …

Couple of results from tonight's Chairman's Sale in Sydney $5.6M for a winning 2yo that ran second in a Gr 2 Blue Diamond Prelude out of a multiple black type mare, in foal to I Am Invincible *$1.9M for a Gr 1 winning mare that also won a Gr 3 in a …

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
-
Genuine chance of becoming a leading Trainer in SA and perhaps expanding her customer database. Might also prove a good staging point for WA Owners looking to campaign a horse in Adelaide or Melbourne without paying absolute top level pricing.

Yulong have now finalised the purchase of Segenhoe Stud

Damian you're the one with a bit of sales knowledge. Aurum Belle and now Cos I Am, very he price youngsters to then bring over and race in WA. Do you need to win a really big one, basically recoup your purchase price and add high end black type …

Do topweight runners in Perth today wear Anzac silks? Two of Gai Waterhouse's runners today at Randwick have declined and some of the connections of those horses are not very happy about it. First Light Racing went so far as to put out a press rele…

oops wrong thread

How long is a piece of string? This is getting ridiculous Thoroughbred stewards’ inquiry – Training Partnership Grant and Alana Williams (STARRY HEIGHTS) The resumption of a Racing WA Stewards’ inquiry involving Mr Grant and Mrs Alana Williams has …

Advertised in ANZ Bloodstock News this morning with the deal having been done earlier this month. Asking $16,500 incl GST. With Playing God mares reaching that age of where to send them post racing, this looks like it will be the plan going forward …

At $200,000 per year and having to run third or better to make a profit, it's a bad investment particularly if the horse is not yours and you know it is not up to a Gr1 Interstate raider

Perth Racing are reporting a 30% increase in attendance year on year with 8,200 attending. A new record they say. Pre sales tickets were up but walk up on the day was down significantly. The new marquee accounted for a 40% increase in bookings.

Heard a murmur that a slot holder or two are looking for an off ramp as soon as possible, having lost interest in the concept.

Well done if you found the winner. He was 7 lengths off the run of the fillies in the lead up race after mediocre results. Dan Morton has an incredible record in the making for yearling purchases in the last five years.
-
Hard to have on yesterday's run. Most likely his only possible selling market is WA as he will have no appeal on the East Coast. The Canterbury Stakes is hardly a Sire making race and the field was not spectacular that he beat. He could be a source …

Which farm, can't say I have heard of this move
-
Can only the barrier draw stop Aurum Belle? On paper and times run, she is 4 to 6 lengths faster than anything else in this field outside of Maria Lucia. I didn't know the barrier when I made this comment, I can't believe it drew so badly. Probably …
-
You could be right there around $30,but i see the Quokka is $45.00 I think they are using a flawed strategy. Money is a bit tight for a lot of folks and this is putting Racing out of the hands of a lot.
-
Well placed sources say the WA Derby was the worst attended in decades. As I don't live in WA anymore, can someone tell me if Perth Racing still charge an entry fee? The on air quote "going through tough times" is not worthy of a high priced legal…

What absolute drivel.

Did I read he picked up a suspension this week ?

Narrogin now Sunday

Paul has had an extended layoff due to an injury that required surgery and will return to race riding in the near future. I watched his two trials a couple of weeks ago and he sat on like days of old, looked very in the saddle.

don't know why this drongo is posting in the breeding section all of a sudden but it is nothing more than trolling scams
