Turned out a costly ride for Clint Harvey! 33 days suspension for careless riding!!

Not having much luck of late, young Clint. Starts his suspension this Sunday.
Peter Knuckey & Daniel Staeck will resume riding at Northam on Thursday after serving their terms of suspension.

[watsonnek]

Oroya Gold finally broke his maiden status at Northam last start. Racing first-up he won the race easily by 4.5 lens with something in hand. A long overdue win considering he has now amassed prize money of $188,800!!

Up against a handy field today, goes up in weight & is racing 2nd-up but should acquit himself well imo.

Thought the jock went for him a bit early but other than that, looked to have every chance. Still, I'm expecting improvement next couple of runs.

Yep, much better runs this time in after failing dismally previous campaign. Good to see her getting back to her best!

Stewards report indicates connections [of Oroya Gold] will in future concentrate on races of a lesser distance [than 1400M)

[watsonnek]

Reported that 2005 Perth Cup winner Black Tom will make the trip to Melbourne to join the David Hayes stable. The aim will be to have one final crack at the Melbourne Cup.

Well, Contentious Miss proved it no fluke by winning again Belmont Saturday, won by 3.25 lengths!! Thought the race fav, Galilei an ok run even though well beaten by Contentious Miss. No luck in running and was a solid run to get 2nd.

[partypooper]

westman, yes a good collect again, just as well as my other 3 win bets were Black in Time, Collegain, and Kaleido grrrrrrr!

[watsonnek]

Surely you had some on for a place party?!!

[partypooper]

watsonnek, nah, wish I had. This is a win plan that I run betting week to week small stakes in comparison to my place bets. Collegian just happened to qualify for the place bets as well but coincidence only.

[suds]

Hi partypooper. I've noticed that you spend time in the Philippines (as per a few of your past posts). Curious the state of horse-racing in that country, assuming they have horse-racing.

[partypooper]

suds, yes there is regular races in Manila, but my place is in San Isidro in the central Visayas a long way from there. I am able to keep in touch to a certain extent with Aussie racing via the net, but it's a bout 20 k's on a very bumpy road which turns to sludge when it rains so I just don't bother.

But as far as the state of the racing is concerned , knowing how everything else works there I would say it would be rotten to the core all the way up the Cheif stewards' cousin to the 10th degree, 49 times removed!!

[westi]

Impressive Stats continues to trial well (winner heat 18 yesterday) although well beaten first-up at Belmont earlier this month. Set to start in the listed H.G. Bolton Sprint on Saturday, a race he won back in 2005. On the limit, you would think he'll be competitive on Sat.

[westman]

Yeah the Bolton should turn out a top race.
Arctic Park, Is Amazing, Mercury Halo, Impressive Stats, Always A Devil & Idyllic Prince, just to name a few!

Up with the pack early but weakened last bit to be beaten 2.25lens.

Trainer Darren McAullife has since announced Impressive Stats retirement.

Impressive Stats won 11 races from 35 starts and earned over $268,000 in prize money.

[westi]

Has had his permit to ride in races suspended for a period of 4 months effective immediately :eek:

Apprentice jockey Ruzaini Supien has had 6 months added to a ban by WA stewards after he admitted (last Friday) to drug offences. Has since flown back to Singapore. WA stewards have advised they will reduce the ban by 2 months if Supien undergoes drug counselling and rehabilitation whilst back home.

[BettyBoop]

Scenic Assault also gone to Freedman. Flew to Melbourne with Blessed Sue.

Can't stop the sandgropers! $15.20W $4.40P unitab :)

[puntersteve]

Had a nice win on the grey :) Understand the Winter Championship is next on the agenda.

[westi]

The ease of the win surprised me a bit. Doesn't mind soft tracks (as confirmed Sat) so the winter championship would suit.

[WildWildWest]

The size of the div [pleasantly] surprised me, even if it was a few points shorter on the WA Tab!

The Railway Stakes, worth $750,000 last year, will be one of 3 prestigious Group 1 races which will comprise the inaugural running of the Australian Mile Triple Challenge — the $1m Emirates Stakes at Flemington on November 10, the Railway Stakes at Ascot on November 24 and the $700,000 Futurity Stakes at Caulfield on March 1, 2008.

This year’s Railway Stakes will carry a record prize money of $1 million. There will be $4 million in stakes and bonuses, including a $250,000 bonus for any horse which is placed in all 3 races

The conditions of the Railway will be changed from a handicap with no top weight limit to a quality handicap with a maximum of 60kg, the same conditions as the Emirates Stakes.

The minimum for the Railway will remain at 52kg, but 3YOs will be able to carry 50kg, a clause that was removed from the conditions of the race several years ago.

[watsonnek]

Super news indeed!

[westman]

As a result of finding electrical devices at a South Hedland (WA) training complex on Saturday, 19 May 2007, local trackwork Rider Mr C. Bellette pleaded guilty to the following three offences under ARR.175(hh):

..being in possession of a hand-held electrical apparatus
..being in possession of a Heriot Agvet cattle prodder
..using an electrical apparatus on a horse in a training gallop at Broome in 2005

RWWA Stewards have disqualified Mr Bellette for a total of 10 years!

Stewards were satisfied that Mr Bellette had acted alone in committing these offences.

according to report I read Bellette claims he has used electrical devices for 40 years :eek:

[diogenes]

Whatever happened to North Western justice?
I imagined a part of the judgement to involve a rodeo ring of girl horse lovers with said apparati in hand and Mr Bellette wearing little more than a pair of leather chaps, application of electrical devices to soft tissue resembling a bald fruit bat.
If you live around Headland way you need to make your own entertainment.
Mr Bellette would benefit too, at the end of his punishment he would be fully trained to teach country and western singers how to yodell. Everybody wins!
(When oh when will they make me king?)

Spotted a couple of very unlucky runs on Sat. Nova Sofala (ran 4th) in R7 – unable to obtain clear running at any stage in the straight. And Who Did It (ran 3rd) in R8 – held up for clear running from on straightening until the 250m.

Looks like we could have a feast of eastern states horses for the next Railway! David Hayes, Lee Freedman, Gai Waterhouse, Peter Moody, Danny O’Brien, Robert Smerdon & Gerald Ryan have all indicated they will set horses for the series.

You do a brilliant job of providing here Westman, on another thread you ducked out before seeing a request for info from me on where to get such access to stats that you posted on wet track winners and lists of breeding results on certain track condition winners and so on so I thought to myself "this is the place where westman will see the request"....so please share the websites that provide us poor punters that info.Whew, that is one heck of a sentence.
Thanks from all in need mate

Thought the jock could have ridden a bit better but no real excuse. I sacked the horse after he ran 3rd (odds on) in a 4 horse race late last year. Still amazes me how the punters still want to butter up!

West River Charley

Nice work WRC to win the penultimate trial-heat at Belmont today over 1000m. Also looking well Desiarnez taking out the final heat.

[westman]

The Fred Kersley trained Paris Petard, Roman Time & Jestatune are back in work. Marasco is also coming along well & may have an exhibition gallop at a Belmont race meeting before his planned August resumption.

[westman]

The unraced youngster Dark Target, the subject of a big offer from Hong Kong interests last week will get the chance to show what he is capable of at Belmont tomorrow, opening race. Only appearance won a trial over 950m by 3.25lens.

R6 one of my fav greys Crossing Jordan will give another honest performance. In the last River Mist another honest campaigner will no doubt give of her best.

[DCFC]

Race 3 former Gai Waterhouse trained Men At Work should run a much improved race today.

[watsonnek]

Wasn't a bad run last start DCFC, looks to be on the improve & now racing over suitable distances.

[olivers puzzle]

In the last River Mist another honest campaigner will no doubt give of her best.
follow this next start, was in the chopped up ground by the last race

[olivers puzzle]

Re West River Charley: promising gelding, onpacer who does fight on, certainly showed improvement last campaign but will need to improve further to be any chance in the railway or similar, imoI've put the challenge to Kempy in the Railway yesterday...

Very nice win & very nice ride Daniel Staeck

another sandgroper relocating east - Early Express going to Lee Freedman

Yep, has already gone

Blessed Sue already earmarked by Freedman to be a traveling partner with the Fighting Tigress if Miss Andretti travels back to the UK next year.

[puntersteve]

Northam today, a couple of 1st starters in R1, who knows could do well – Pumpkin Head & Spirited One – both have good trial form. R3 Chamoon didn’t do much only start & Vainekko placed all 3 provincial starts. R7 Kenny Kenfair fitter for recent starts & same Grey Johnson. And in the last we have last start winner, Cassius Grey.

[watsonnek]

I'll think we'll have to make Lee Freedman an honorary sandgroper! Seems promising filly Joey Jo Jo is also heading east to continue her racing career under the guidance of Lee!!

[watsonnek]

Marasco back at his Ascot stables for the past 8 weeks.

Kersley has plotted the Belmont Newmarket (1200m), with a ceiling topweight of 60kg, or the Goodwood Sprint (1300m) which is run at WFA, on August 4 and 18, as Marasco’s likely starting points.

Champion WA-born jockey Damien Oliver is trainer Fred Kersley’s first choice to ride Marasco in his ambitious plans to tackle Victorian spring features.

Yeah thought about it after posting & realised you were probably making reference to Beat The Storm etc

Hasn't West River Charley been impressive this campaign! Close finish on Saturday and had to withstand a protest but did do the job with 59kgs. Read that his next start will be against open company, I assume based on your last post that will be first-up after the break.

The more than useful 4YO stallion Spirit Of Bunbury has been retired. Found to have torn the tendon in his near fore leg after running 2nd in a trial at Lark Hill early last week. Just 11 starts for 5 wins and 5 places.

R4 Wongkaew won nicely this course last week. R5 Calarosa Donna needed the run first-up, fitter. R6 Just A Halo will be up with them, although the 1650 could test. R8 River Mist looked disappointing last start when given every chance but this race looks a bit easier this time & has the claim again. Zorobo weakened noticeably over 1300 last start but does drop back to 1200 & drawn well.

D. Oliver has elected not to ride Marasco or El Segundo but instead will pilot the fabulous Haradasan.
Must be really something to have a choice between such brilliant horses.

[goldenember]

Hmmmm, lets see now, didnt the same hoop jumped off Northerly to ride Don Eduardo :rolleyes:

Nice surprise for those that can get out to Belmont tomorrow!
Marasco will appear in an exhibition gallop over 1200m between races.

I thought that Marasco was a shade disappointing (although racing wide) in his exhibition gallop yesterday when edged out by stablemate Super Dragon.

In an interview immediately after the gallop Fred Kersley commented that the gallop had indicated to him that Marasco was not as forward as he had thought.

When questioned on how Marasco would go first-up (Aug 4th) Fred gave no real indication, mentioning quality of opposition (amongst other things) and the fact that Marasco hasn’t always gone extra well first-up previously. From what I can see his first-up record is pretty good.

Be surprised if Pike doesn't get the nod to ride Marasco in Perth

[westman]

Lots of rain in Perth at the moment. Looks settled in. Might be slow tomorrow.

Has to be the fav with the pontiff committed to Vain Crusader ;)

[watsonnek]

Top runs by both Mansion House & Vain Crusader in their respective heats. Both doing their best work at the business end. Mansion House runner-up behind Tummler & Vain Crusader runner-up behind Volition.

Tough ask today first-up, dead track & with 61kgs but should be finishing off well at the race end!

You can certainly forget that Banner Storm went around! Bounded on jumping missing the start completely & then unable to take up his customary role up front!!

[partypooper]

well, listened to the replay of all, and am still bamboozled that not one of em' was placed, amazing!!

[suds]

Be surprised if Pike doesn't get the nod to ride Marasco in Perth

surprise!! :) harvey to ride ;)

[watsonnek]

Yep, the pontiff has given up his ride on Vain Crusader to ride Marasco. Vain Crusader to be ridden by Troy Turner.

[mv2040]

gday partypooper, imo the writting was on the wall with motivator last start, had enough!

[partypooper]

mv2040, yes I agree, I was actually quite glad when the conditions were too bad for a bet. as Motivator was a system bet, but Pike carried him over the line last time I thought.

Banner Storm missed it at the start so I'm told (didn't hear that on the replay)

And the other one finished 5th I think, well after all it IS racing I suppose!

[puntersteve]

Belmont tomorrow, R1 last start city winner The Gray Bear comes off a 70 day layoff, gone ok fresh before & doesn’t mind the damp ground. Place chances same race Akka Man & Grey Johnson. R3 Teaken not beaten far this course last week running 5th of 16. R4 Air Of Vigilance is having his 1st start. The Duck goes onto Bangadang Jack who should be improved by previous 2 starts. R5 Grey Zoro is 2nd-up & will have the services of by Dashing Dan Miller. R6 Starlight Grey should be coming home strongly, Metal Mayhem suited the journey & El Sarie resumes after a long spell. R7 Busters Icon an EW show. R8 Summer Haze put in a top effort last start (2nd-up) & fitter for that run.

In the opener at Belmont today former Victorian DECKI KISEKI is having his 4th start in WA. Ran a nice race when 3rd most recent start over 1650m & is a winner in slow going.

[westman]

Interstate riders may think twice about riding in WA. It would seem that the weekly compensation (workers’ comp) paid to WA riders is less than 50% of the sum paid to riders in other mainland States.

Firmed from 8/1 to 9/2 but was extremely disappointing.

Yep, 1 of 3 :)

[WildWildWest]

Great win today Marasco..he looked huge....perfect for the campaign he has ahead of him...

I was pleasantly surprised with Marasco's performance today. He covered the last 600m in the very quick time of 33.57 secs!

[WayOutWest]

Apparently caught Fred off guard as well

[partypooper]

Yes, eventually Harvey swung it for me + the amazing place divi, I had a reasonable win bet, but a VERY nice place bet $1.90 to good to resist. Just as well, as I made a bad judgement on the Black Pig

[MyHatMyCoat]

Ran the last 600m a lot faster than Apache Cat & carrying 1.5kgs more. Now that says something!

Hi Guys, just back from a spell. Was at the meet. Great day. Crowd well above average. HUGE run the MightyM & still lots of room for improvement.

[puntersteve]

The grey brigade reps at Belmont tomorrow start off R1 with Money Day who fought on ok only start. R2 Whoville High first starter for the lovely Paula Wagg & Zorobo yet to be placed in 8 starts at Belmont. R3 Metal Mayhem drawn the rails & suited the drop back in distance. R5 Our Solid Bond fresh from a stint in the warmth at Broome & Silver Ambush back in distance but freshened. R6 Summer Haze all the better for 2 starts back. R7 Trib first-up & down from Geraldton for the day & Beau Rancher nice first-up effort Northam & close-up only other 3 starts all at Ascot.
