That's probably not strictly true,we by gambling have probably been robbing ourselves lol

It seems all the races are at belmont,is ascot not on at present. West Australian racing is good I think the time frame they are on is a good viewing time

Why would the tab worry ,they have been robbing us for years😄

I wonder if the farmers show some intellect over the half baked ideas that mrNosey Parker wants to put in place,ain't heard so much shit in me life,there was a reason they were in opposition for 9 years labour but good old Winnie knew a thing or two,not, by putting this lot in charge,sadly hes a gone burger this time,only reason he went with labour was so he could climb the ladder higher,under the nats he would have been cleaning out shithouses even though he would lower the tone of the shit.

I actually believe that if you had only local races it would stimulate some interest by being easily accessed,as for a Coppins type talkback there are lots of issues that at present will show the interest that's still around as there a lot of emotive issues.

I think most of the punters have been turned off already.

Maybe Aveross Spitfires wheels have been locked😊

Racing on a private station would be ok as long as you dont get overkill,programmes like going through a whole card and trying to pick winners is too much overkill to listeners,those types of situations are best left to a racing only setup,maybe there is room for a Coppins type programme on Sunday morning with some talkback,since trackside went silent apart from here there is bugger all discusion on racing affairs.

It's amazing how they are still racing in Victoria but this spring carnival is gunna be a very unusual experience.

Probably the best rider in oz,does anyone remember that ride to win the Perth cup?he was at The Valley last week but races didn't finish,where is he at the present time,I'm not following races as closely at present,for all I know he could be riding in Victoria.

Maybe the horse needs a big long straight like Methven to get wound up.,that's aveross I'm talking about.

No Alexy today.

I haven't heard a race all day,just had one on the tv from Belmont,most of the other stuff now I just ignore,I'm busy outdoors,with no radio I just dont bother, normally I'd listen to most of them

I dont care how tight money is,I just want my next bonus bet😄

If you watch aussie harness every race has a red hot favourite.

It's probably fair to say a lot of manipulation goes on,ain't that race fixing,horses not running so well so their ratings drop,it probably going on we on the outer just dont know about it.

I read that magic talk will be broadcasting radio cricket coverage over summer,so that's something,I wonder if P William's has something to do with it? Windies,Pakis,Bangladesh and Aussie are scheduled to be here but only 4 tests,we are back to basically playing moderate opponents,we were shown up in oz last summer.

That only works when it wants. When I'm in bet at night I often have zb on the computer.

Racing and test cricket are great sports for radio listening.

And you know the irony is that when you stop doing it and the longer you stop you tend to not miss it,I've given it a pretty good shot over time.

Without the radio interest has waned,I watch a few on tv ,as the interest has waned my actual spending at present is zero,remember we all have to work radio was always on when working,it is now sometimes,just tuned to something else. Sometimes a break is good though anyway.

Well I dont listen to races much now,I'm not gunna be married to a smartphone nor glued to a tv,I reckon lots have lost interest and in reality once you lose that interest it's often gone 4 good,even a simulcast is a start,lots of little stations dotted around that probably cost eff all to run.

Gee and what would be wrong with someone doing talkback on trackside radio,racing and sport as it is there is very little these days.

You can use ya smartphone but it's not always reliable,internets not everywhere, radio is so basic and easy,even a simulcast of the tv is a start

In all seriousness though there is some pretty average meetings nowadays,the worst thing though is the top races are dominated by one or two stables.
