David Templeman is conducting historic tours of Mandurah as a costumed stand-up comedian. I hope he is more serious about the inquiry.

Mount Eden won a 3 year old race at GP, lost about 100 yards after failing to find his gait, caught them, circled them, won by about 120m. The others were just entering the straight as he went over the line. Either a heat of the Sires Produce or the…

GP fields didn't land until after 7pm tonight. What a shambles. Must be like the ressies coach ringing around on Saturday morning trying to put a team on the park. Just 5 races at Busselton, 37 acceptors more acceptors for Bunbury New Years Eve (77…

Until we see details of how former Minister/MLA David Templeman and Professor Warren Harding intend to conduct the inquiry, it is hard to comment on how serious the government or the Minister are. It remains unclear as to what triggered the Review b…

Now we see Emily has reached 800 winners the family is marching on to 5000 winners at rapid rate. Family total is well past 5000 already STG.....and that doesn't include Joe Snr's contribution, or any of the inlaws. Shannon alone over 2,500.

Modern Day Status of the Industry: New Years Eve at GP, once the showcase of our sport, Cup Night, not a picnic blanket to be seen, the joint was rocking, star horses, iconic event now reduced to a fireworks show. This year, 8 x $9360 mid week fie…

There is also such a thing as posting incorrect, unresearched nonsense, unsupported by any evidence....... and then passing it off as "banter".

And there is even a thread title in bold capital letters JAY JAY - and does he give old Jay Jay a withering spray - hah Clearly, seeing as you haven't read the full post, you are unaware that the "withering spray" is actually an "old Jay Jay"post,…

Very early days in his apprenticeship, Jeff Berry landed On Petite at Pinjarra at 66/1 for an elderly trainer at the time Bill???? I had a tenner on her. Nice day out. Comino. Looks like the only race it must have wonYep, grey horse, had pink or ce…

Gloucester Park, including both Friday Night and Lower Staked Midweek and Saturday night meetings returning 34.7 cents in the dollar on a revenue generated from turnover versus stakes paid basis. The same calculation for Perth Racing's Saturday …

GP is highest turnover track, as it should be, but an overall ROI of 34.7 cents in the dollar across all meetings, and 28.6 cents in the dollar on Friday Night Metro meetings, means that every time they open the gates, RWWA does it's backside. The r…

I believe Jeff Berry started off apprenticed to Peter McKay. I think some involvement with Bruce Kay either before or after McKays but had great success when he shifted to Brian and Lorraine Muellers. I think Lannie Bell and Peter Barnett also inden…

Was only talking about Jeff Berry and B.C Mueller yesterday, reminiscing the Boxing Day success of Scornvale when it bolted in the Karrakatta ...... and the lengthy "run on" post the races at the old Ascot Inne.Must have been 40 years ago? Jeff was …

Yep, well no idea then, could be one of 50 horses.

Actually, 1970's too early for Justin Hanover I think? So that may be way off the mark.
-
Brown boots are a bit of a give away, Tony Peacock wore them in Perth in the 1981 first edition of the Golden Nugget with Justin Hanover? Just my guess.

Leadership these days is just a word in a dictionary.

This also comes following some recent very poor news for WA Harness turnover being down at every venue in the State and over year on year down $12.9M at Gloucester Park and some $18.251M state wide. Now would be a good time for someone at RWWA to …
-
Yep, I believe that is basically it, except it wasn't the "Industry", it was the GPHRC Committee and around 240 members of the club that proposed and voted to approved a deal, based on some artists impressions and unreleased valuations provided by a…

Something not quite right about your 1972 magazine Marko. Don't Retreat was a 1970 foal and his colours were blue with a striking gold sash. Blue with the Pink Sleeves were Red Vicar's colours of his owner Vic Murphy. Laurie Moulds campaigned Red V…

I have no idea what the cost is but the revenue generated on investment is 3.32% for Gloucester Park (and 3.06% at Pinjarra). So if someone "doubles" a $1,000 investment to $2,000 as a result of a twitter interview, the return would be an extra $33.…

Apologies for format, a bit all over the place. Looks fine before I post, then it goes a bit pear shaped but I think it is reasonable now after a few edits.

Ahh, what an appropriate time of the year for Saint Chopchop to deliver his self righteous assessment on the integrity of one and all. I, and I am sure many others, are deeply grateful and blessed for his assessment and endorsement from his self dec…

Just the one odds on favourite Spyglass at $1.55 and the outrider Princess Katie (they did bet $101) at $61 in the 10 races. Removing the two outriders, the average winning price was $4.28 with over 100 acceptors yet again. I am told this is the las…

Yep, The Latrice/Kilrickle demo was a doozy and was a bit like the never ending story. My Aunty Sylvia (husband of Kilrickle's trainer Ted Sullivan) told me many times of some of the stuff directed at her, Ted and Treen. She used to say 'we put in t…

You would need to invoke Charlie Court's absurd Section 54B Anti Demo Legislation (it is illegal to hold a public gathering of more than 3 people) to get any negative commentary from the lawn declared as a "demonstration" down at Gloucester Park th…

Very, very ordinary Minister....loves going to Broome.

So, yep, not in any way doubting you but it is only anecdotal evidence. I wonder if RWWA or whoever pays for the service...I assume RWWA and not the club.....has ever done a cost benefit analysis. Any responsible budget management team that I have e…

Genuine question, have you seen actual figures showing the increases in turnover or is that just anecdotal from someone you know or are aware of, who increases their bet after confirmation of speed maps? If the twitter interviews increase betting be…
