    • After the first up wins ( of many this Season ) for Autumn Glow and Via Sistina. All Chris Waller could do was Moan and groan about the track at Randwick. saying shite like "Shouldn't be used during Winter for 'Inferior' horse" s . should be kept well for Only his good ones coming back in the Spring  lol. Walked the track yesterday and was' Scared' for his horses chances today he said on the Heavy 10. wanted them to go on Monday instead.  Well  Mr Waller, August set records for the wettest Winter Sydney ever. So the track was gunna be Wet.  you just have to get on with it or scratch mate. Or go back to NZ and get used to it again 😅😋 BUT we can't keep it just for you Mr Waller. there are OTHER trainers , even though he Rarely recognizes them with any credits at all.  Maybe he wants to be a Ben Yole and have the entire Field in races? .  The bloke is under so much pressure that he barely smiled after Autumn Glow and Via Sistina's wins today . Just expects to win All the time now. And the track should just have to race when he says? to suit his 100's of horses . Probably the worst interviews i've seen ever Post race after big races.   
    • look. if you read enough of what people post on here,you soon realise theres many contributors who see the animals in their care, as much more than just a commodity from which to earn $ and/or to gain enjoyment from.The likes of gammalite,curious,freda (they are the ones off the top of my head but theres others),who you just know would go the extra mile to do everything they could,almost seeing them as an extension of their family. .i don't know these posters personally,but you can just tell from their words. you can poo poo this ladies comments as much as you like and yes,i feel she has generalised a bit too much,but maybe thats what she has felt she has to do to highlight the issues shes raised. you make comments labelling some of my comments as conspiracy theories. I don't care when you do that. You have no idea my lifes experiences,nor do i have yours,but you really shouldn't suggest i don't know what i'm talking about on this matter. also,you always come across like a farmer who has desensitised himself from the aspects of farming which play on the minds of people like myself. And thats carried over into racing. And i believe that is also the same way the majority of people in racing operate as well. Its like people just think,well thats part of the industry,ts a problem with an answer beyond their control that can't be changed and they act as accordingly.And heres the sad thing,i admit theres elements of  truth to that type of thinking. But thats not what we are talking about is it. What this lady and i are talikng abou tis there should be  a duty of care for horses,not just up until they are finished as racehorses,but a duty of care throughout their whole life. i've acknowledged this ladies expectations are unrealistic,but i would still hope every person within the industry at least acknowleges where this ladies sentiments are coming from and at least give her thoughtsthe  consideration they deserve.. and why should anyone feel threatened by what this lady has said. what does that tell you.I'm not. Thats all i'm saying.
    • Ron Turcotte, who famously rode Secretariat to the Triple Crown in 1973 to earn an enduring place in horse racing lore, died on Friday, at the age of 84. Turcotte’s long-time friend and business partner Leonard Lusky said the Canadian-born Hall of Famer died of natural causes at his home near Grand Falls, New Brunswick.
