Hi Diva, I'm not really following the thread. Can I ask why you think posting your username on this site would get an account with Sportingbet/william Hill reactivated? I'll happily post my username if there is a commitment from them to do that.

Spudley, are you serious? Who would you like to ask and what would you like to ask them?You are a punter. What were the odds if they decided to try and overpower him? Do you really think the death toll would have been less? Would you have considered…

Hi Spudley, I'm not really certain of the point you are trying to make but out of deference to those that died and the others that had to endure an experience that I think could only truly be understood by those who have been in similar situations. …

Hi Aquanita, that's the point. The thread wasn't about that at all. As per the original Carey post below, "start races over the same distance, on the same day, from the same spot!!!race 1 was started from a completely dissimilar position than races …

Hi Aquanita, as it stands RWWA and the stewards are continuing to embarrass themselves, in fact let's be honest the whole WA racing industry by not being able to get the starting positions for races correct.Questioning the professionalism of Hong Ko…

Able Friend was purchased by current George Moore for current trainer J Moore at Inglis Easter sales for $550k and left for early prep in Aus with Hawkes, as he does with many of his horses.

Hi Gilgamesh, I'm a little simple, so can you please explain to me what it says? Do you really believe anyone within RWWA would be going out of their way to do Shannon a 'favour'...Pleeeeaaaaase..G Hall jnr possibly but Shannon...not a snow flakes c…

Diva unfortunately that is the future. As I see it and it's only my opinion but unless oncourse bookies understand this is what their market place is and will be for 48 weeks of the year, the collective will not survive. It's a cutthroat industry an…

But that's the whole point Diva. Don't get me wrong, I'm not for one minute suggesting it's easy but let's be honest, what business is. The reality is the most oncourse bookmakers (like the corporates they despise) want to bet losing clients. The wo…

Hi Diva, this is where I struggle to sympathise with the oncourse bookmakers plight. Without getting into all the reasons why or why not oncourse bookies cant't compete, the biggest advantage or potential advantage was the requirement to bet to a li…

Hi Bookielover, I admire your passion but bookmakers have to accept that turnover tax (now effectively a product fee) has been and will always be part of the model. Both race clubs and bookies have nobody else but themselves to blame for their short…

And on another bookie you mentioned, Chris Chris.Chris Christianopolous was a stalwart in the eastern states ring in Perth and the gambling clubs of Northbridge for many a year and a finer gentleman you would never meet. He retired as a very success…

Hi bookielover, it was Bernard Marantelli who used to work on the bag for Ross Cooper. He went overseas and worked in the financial markets/options business for some time..pretty smart cookie.. and has recently launched Colossus Bet which his friend…

Rio, i am not sure you have a good grasp on framing betting markets..you probably need a little bit more % in a two option race...still if you want to offer those odds i'd be happy to oblige..lol..

RIP Dubbers. A good man taken way too early.

Hey not sure Pentasia is a monty...1200m and Randwick up the rise, I'm not sure it's Pentasia's go. See the world, small field, can tack on and won't be too far of them on straightening. It's the big overs for mine @ $9...and Nash to boot!!

Damien, as a respected bloodstock agent ,surely you aren't forming an opinion of how many mares a sire should receive based on the level of publicity given to a horse by journalists. Whilst any first season sire has huge risks associated with them, …

Hi Rio, neither did I but just asking.

Hi Mailman and others, if "Sydney",whoever they are had priced dueton at $4 today and backed it off the map...what would of the cry been. Bad riders /rides or that "It was a rort!" and perth racing is corrupt etc? Interested on everyones thoughts

Great tipping slippergolden...30/1 dh as best of the day and $90 qui to boot! I hope it was a fill up.

Hi Diva Aside from the obvious spelling mistakes it caused, the red wine consumed yesterday may have made my comments re price assessors seem a little caustic. That wasn't meant to be the case. I was just highlighting that the tab's literally set 1…

Hi all, I am new member here, long time lurker but new contributor so I know a lot will treat this post with contempt. I am a long time industry person, who is an owner, punter etc however I do not jump at shadows as some others do. Over the years t…
