as regards that last sentence above.....unless you are a Victorian perhaps. WA did it well, by the looks of it, but being a long suffering Demon supporter, I wish it was held at the MCG. Next year hopefully.

Brisbane has won 3 from memory, and despite what they try to imply, have never had anything to do with the now defunct Fitzroy.2 different entities. Swans i can't remember, but the swans of now, ARE Sth Melbourne relocated, thus whatever the total p…

the VFL has nothing to do with the old VFL.The VFL is comprised of what was the secondary league VFA, and some suburban league clubs too.Most of those VFL clubs are aligned with AFL clubs, and is where those out of form, or not good enough play.It i…

Reading of Eddie Betts well deserved retirement after 350 games, wonderful achievement. The blurb goes on......one of 19 players to reach the the 350 mark in AFL/VFL history ......and one of only 3 indigenous players to reach the mark......in AFL/VF…

i guess MF would be the most accurate of the 3 mentioned. but if anybody thinks they are looking at like for like, for all the various meetings wherever, when you take into account rail possy, gate placement , etc, etc, then they are in fantasy land…

the data is fitted to the official times, and there is the very first mistake if the lynx camera is still at the 600m mark, then probably fitted to them too. rwwa or whoever, more than likely pays accardi for the information, but who at rwwa is goi…

the 47 was the error i would think, it was a 51 rater all it does is show that there are no checks and balances, or it would not have happened in the first place.mistakes happen, but there should be things in place to make sure they are rectified b…

The acceptance and subsequent scratching of 58 rater Starof Bonnie Rose by Dion Luciani in a 78+ is pretty cynical when the obvious beneficiary is Marocchino trained by Lou Luciani. Why was it benefiting Marocchino? Bacause the race may have been…

For sure, auto mode is ideal. When assessing risk how does the MSE fair historically in WA compared to say a Melbourne or HK? Does the smaller pool of horses offset the errors to an extent that you’re finding in the other data in WA? i think you a…

i have started from scratch basically.have recycled some of my code though.will be a long time before i am ready to make a model, if i do decide to persist.i am finding more errors now than when i was last at it a few years back, so i may be wasting…
-
in fact most of my work in trying to get going in wa again, is writing routines to find all those errors, but there will still be lots that i miss for various reasons.

Popcorn haha.If they have moved the starting stalls for safety concerns or getting the horses to jump from a decent surface then so what.My last word on this topic.....NORTHAM. the 'popcorn' was aimed at me, rather than you. the chances that the ga…

That happens every day on every racecourse in the world. Not sure how that affects your bet on one particular race ? Considering all the factors that can affect times in a certain race. Racing lane, jockey vigour, timing of run, wind exposure vs cov…

TFF is scratched ,and Come Play With Me has, according to its rating, a minimum of a 6.5kg advantage, because of the idiocy of having a 78+ as a quality handicap.
-
its a feather in his cap getting rides from godolphin... Dom Beirne is James Cummings Godfather, and advises him. Dom has Pike as top rider in the country(I think).Probably a connection there....

nice to see you pop your head above the trenchs, carey. hope your plovers are thriving...handicapping, i cannot get my head around it...when i was first able to read and semi understood the racebook, at about aged 7yrs, i remember we had the follow…

Marasco was running in the Belmont feature races in 2008 with a rating of 115 and carrying 60kg, the Belmont sprint that year every other runner was on 53kg but should have been somewhere like 46kg on true handicap weights. Barakey I think is who …
-
2014 the sprint at northam was a hcp and won by Magnifisio2015 it was the beginning of the SWP nonsense, and it all began for this race when won by Dawn Approach. This is the field for 2015, checkout the weights and ratings.....It was to be the Bara…
-
oh, and it did not work anyway.....barakey came fifth
-
Yes, and that is when the SWP races were introduced. Marasco would have been 60kg because that was the maximum top weight in a quality hcp in those days, so it is a different issue.Quality hcps have been around forever......well not the 78+ ones hav…

Looks like being one of the better overall editions of the Northam Stakes this year. Should be a great race. I feel that the set weights and penalty conditions needs an overhaul though- there are some very highly rated horses that get in very well a…
-
i was thinking the same thing gilga, and if either of the favourably weighted had won, their ratings would have stayed the same. probably unfair of me to target the current chief handicapper, because as sure as night follows day, the instigator of s…
-
And even if it were a quality, then a sensible handicapper would have handicapped top down, rather than bottom up, to at least give it a semblance of fairness
-
just wondering is all.

i can add no more than what you guys have said. very sad. you were not out partying last night falcon?
-
in light of that saga, you would think they could have found a better race 3 name than 'sit and sprint' hcp.

When did Warwick have the chance to take a sit ? Her horse jumped a length clear of the field and every other jockey threw the anchor out to sit behind her. I can guarantee you - she would rather not have led at all. So how does she face any more…
