I won 3 out of 4 in Perth yesterday. I'm a happy camper.

Was actually refering to the Perth Cup winner that collapsed after the race and died/was destroyed. Not actual results as such, although I don't bet in Perth.
Elaphant juice was the culprit I think.

Speaking of disturbing things to do wih animal cruelty, did anyone see the 4 Corners program on the ABC a few weeks ago to do with the Pitbulls?
Fairly disturbed me I can tell you. They should be publicly flogged.

I eaw it and was horrified. Look at what those dogs do to little kids. They rip off flesh in slabs!

They should be banned as a breed. Their just killers. Even a Rotwheeler wouldn't last 10 sec. against a Pitbull.

SR6,

was anyone else very concerned with the ride of a certain hoop in this race?
His mount was out the back for most of the way then flashed home to finish just out of the place.
Luckily, I had an "insurance bet" in this race and also backed:
5 Mister Celestial WON $5.2w$1.9plNSW
I am a form student and I saw what happened...I will watch with great interest whether the officials also saw it....hmmmm.
You work it out for yourself.
NB. this runner has the "red-light" all over it for it's next start and "smart" punters will back up!

Cheers.

SR5,

is my nomination for "boat" race/dubious result of the day!
If you study the rides of some hoops in the closing stages of this race then you would also be concerned.
Some appeared to be floundering back in the field thereby allowing the longshot to get a winning break. Only then did they show any vigour to finish late and give their mount a "good blow!"
By that time the longshot had well and truly "stolen" the race!
Come on....what is going on...how long will the betting public tolerate such activities?
NB. someone had a late go at it in the betting ring...hmmmm!



Cheers.

Gosford R7,
the favourite missed the start and the commentator stated:
"whatever chance the favourite had..it left it at the barrier...!"
Sure, there had been a delay loading horses in this particular race and several runners were left in the stalls for a long period.
However, don't you think it is coincidental that it was only the short-priced favourite which missed the start hopelessly and played no further part in the race?
You figure it out!

Cheers.

SR3,
I just witnessed probably one of the worst rides in the last five years(IMO)!
My advice to that particular hoop is to go and get a job as a painter or concretor because on that ride you have no future in the racing game!

Cheers.

Kembla R5,
the favourite and 2nd favourite were the only runners to miss the start thereby playing no further part in the race, although the favourite "flashed" home to run fourth.
Go figure...how is it always the well-supported runners which have this incredible bad luck?
This race was a leg of the Quaddie and the winner paid $24.80NSW...maybe I've just answered my own question....hmmm!
When is an ICAC officer going to be appointed to work in conjunction with the Steward's Panel? It can't come quick enough for me and other long-suffering punters who feel the same way!

Cheers.

SR3,
the favourite is the only runner to miss the start then regathers and finishes on "like a steam train" to run third. Those that backed it to win would have had steam coming out of their ears!
Again, I ask...how is it that it is the favourite or well-fancied runner(s) which seem disproportionately represented in those horses that miss the start and effectively play no part in the finish?
Hmmm....you'll have to figure that one out for yourself.
The only redeeming fact is that it was the favourite's first racestart but that is superfluous to the point that I am making.

Cheers.

MR6,

There was a certain horse ridden by a supposedly capable rider in this race.
Yet, he sat three wide all the way and didn't finish on.
The commentator stated: "it didn't run on".....no wonder!
It was a "barry" of a ride yet he still gets his riding fee....what do we punters get....?

Cheers.
