Oh I do like that man. He has 'dash' Darky and is more opinionated than I am !

Yeah . His bloods worth bottling .
With all this political correctness flowing about its good to see a fair dinkum Aussie calling a Bxxxxx spade a shovel.

Cheers.

noticed an item in the website regarding the decline of black type racing in sydney. this has been happening for many years and i think is because of the onset of corporate racing. the big trainers the big owners has caused a lack of competition in the industry.
the costs of the good horses and the costs of the good trainers with the megastables is too dominant and is leading the decline.
the day might come as with the Widden stakes that when the big 4 trainers enter then nobody else will bother.

black type races with 4 starters is an insult.
i used to suggest that race prizemoney should be divided by 14 and multiplied by the number of starters equals the total prizemoney for the race.

if the trainers dont bother entering then why give away the money.

i am sure the reprobates from ferralls road wouldnt appreciate your literary merit crash.

but well done.


in the case of ferralls road and the behaviour of racegoers the issue is covered by the liquor laws.

it is an offence to serve or supply intoxicated persons perhaps the police should book the race club to instill better management practices.
