Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This below is the information being circulated to members by the club about the proposed sale of club land. Read and digest it, and we will throw you a few extra questions soon. What are Members being asked to vote for? The GPHR Executive Committee has begun a formal process under the Club’s by-laws to […]
The caller at the WA country track at Moora on Saturday did a Bill Collins. “Rock of Kaha can’t win!” he cried. Famous last words, even if we did all agree with him when they were uttered. Watch this. Wow. I don’t think we’ll hang him for that one. PS – You can buy the […]
Have a look at the finish of this race from the side-on view (above). Then have a look at it from the head-on (below). The runner-up protested against the winner alleging interference 0ver the final stages. On what you’ve just seen it was a certainty to be upheld. But not in WA. The Stewards there […]
True Grit was the $1.85 favorite to win the last leg of the quaddie at the Pinjarra trots yesterday. His backers started cheering when he stormed up the inside to gather in the leader and sail past him with 50 metres to go. Poor buggers failed to see the black crow sitting on the winning […]
You don’t often see a win like this down the short home straight at Gloucester Park. Wow. Whooshka! Take that.
On Friday night WA trot trainer Kim Prentice joined Gary Hall and Greg Bond in the ranks of slippery customers pulling stooges on the Stewards to manipulate fields in order to get their horses a start. Prentice had two horses in the 3yo fillies race worth $21 000, but when the nominations closed at the […]
Clive from Cooroy phoned in to tell us that we missed something in our earlier story about karma coming back to haunt Tom Percy KC and prove him wrong. The horse that the high-powered barristers pony on Tuesday in the race that he claimed the apprentice rigged was Money For Old Rope. It came out […]
Much has been made about the ride of WA bush jockey Kristo Sardelic in a race at Broome on Tuesday, after a part-owner of the beaten favorite accused the apprentice of riding crook. It’s a crock of crap in my view, one that would never have been entertained by the Stewards in the manner that […]
Archie HRV does spend 25% of its income on welfare and integrity. Just not on the horses. It’s spent on the dead wood staff in the offices. RWWA traditionally follows and adopts all its policies (all codes) from Vic. WA harness participants should be very afraid…….. And yes RWWA have bungled an industry land asset […]
John Filardo is quite possibly Australia’s most unsuccessful driver. In the almost 25 years of this century Filardo’s had almost 900 drives, and won just 13 races. His record of achievement in the cart over the past 6 years is about exactly the same as famous Frankston racing identity Mandrake the Mug’s record on the punt […]
