Jurisdiction of common sense

Could only possibly be old mate Vince and The Jim Jim. I can still vividly remember the fireworks

Seems madness - can only guess that they are hoping 50 thousand will rush offer and pack the banks after the final siren at optus?

A question that has been on my mind the last few weeks.... Why at GP fridays are they they running 2 not full FFA races at $31k? obvious answer is to get race numbers up. But wouldnt it make more sense to to make one full field and have the lower as…

the circuit was also invaluable for young drivers - not only the driving experience gained, but also the responsibility of looking after the team of horses in some cases, as well as the connections formed with the locals.
-
when there was a proper circuit - ie Gero, Kal and Albany - it was more feasible for trainers to set themselves up to migrate from town to town for the seasons.

Moonraker/Rocket you are both missing the point. You cant have all levels of races made up of Hall, Bond, Rocket etc. Moddest estimate lets say 75% of horses end their days as losing comodities when coats from day of birth to end of racing career …

The closure of Geraldton and then Kalgoorlie mean that 'circuit' trainers such as Plozza and inwood were effectively lost. Kalgoorlie provided a viable option Kelleberrin region trainers and vice versa - this was lost. Like Kal, its only a matter of…

Question - is QLD harness considered sustainable in terms betting income and stakes payouts? Unfortunately i feel the war has already been lost - too much of the footprint has already been eroded for WA to have a viable decentralised/country racing …

a day out for punters yesterday - 8 odds on favourites, 7 of which got beat.

I tell you what Marko - for a self proclaimed non reader, you sure have a good grasp of what he posts. FYI - i wouldnt even know where his site is - got no interest in it at all But MR - what i find quite humorous - in fact very humorous Is any…

Correct Marko, when you were threatening to pull up stumps, I thought i'd better head over there to get a daily dose of drivel.

congrats Marko.... you've made it to the big league...

One horse race 1 at Leeton today, NSW have scratched all the Ben Yole (6) and Robert Walters (2) runners. Will the 'Race" proceed? Tas Racing has issued show cause warned off notices to those named in the Murrihy Report. HRV considering it's positio…

I see they swabbed the winner at the first at Leeton today - how would you feel if it came back dirty!!
-
Anyone know what make of sulky it was? I'm surprised there hasnt been a suspension of use issued until investigation is complete.
-
Hi Marko aka Lazarus Whats interesting about whats in the report - Would you have expected the stewards to have done anything else? They would be derelict in their duty if so.
-
Spot on Jay Jay, and its such a shame that their season no longer extents to and incorporates Australia day
-
salty that he's not going to go out of his way to deliver you a tip on a platter?
-
can someone enlighten me as to what the 'NS' means in the eligibility column on the noms? Cheers

Marko - if punters were informed enough to understand how good the last was they would have also understood it had an inexperienced driver this time. There are enough smarties betting that the starting price was reflective of the increased risk fro…

Non Tabs still require Tote Machines, photo finish gear, video facilities, stewards, starters, vets, swab testing access, mobile barrier, race form guides etc .... and many more essentials...and most importantly for insurance purposes for all licens…

Biggest joke re the Derby field - is how in hell Louie Dior got in the field - only 29k in stakes and hasnt run quick time - some in the consolation have banked over 100k Last start it was behind the leader and was gone 2 laps from home - and skit…

if moderators gave out clips, Marko would be in line for his fair share

I dont profess to know the intricacies of the rules, but here is my view Undoubtedly, it was not Maynards intent to make contact with Brayshaw. However, i think it was reasonably foreseeable that Maynard's action could result in contact with brays…

Case in point - I saw Hayden Reeves on bookface last week seeking a claiming driver for drive at Kellerberin. He was offering a $100 incentive. From 1 viewpoint - Its a sad state there are no juniors beating down his door seeking the drive once the…

Yes but if that was your criteria, you would shut down Gloucester Park tomorrow as it's "take" of overall industry funding from RWWA is much greater than what it generates. don't disagree but this is the exact reason for including the word 'deemed…
