Michael, you worked for Gai, so you would know of Des and Eunice at Flemo......they are real horse people and it would be them that trained any jumpers Gai purchased.....once they had made the transition from you lot in NZ of course. It's a shame we don't have jumps up here in SYD as it may just bring a few sticky beaks [Jack Nohi's] through the gates. You see Michael [and as an ex employee of Gai's you would be aware] the early morning starts at Gai's 2-30/3am......and the necessity at Caulfield to be off the track as the heath reverts to public ownership at 10-am prevents the real training and schooling of jumpers.....the bullring and pony fences are poor substitutes for an hour or two of hacking and schooling with riders that 1; want to be there 2; want to be there without hand out asking for overtime. Its so labour intensive and the wages watchdogs here in AUS are like gestapo, and it's the country trainers like Houlihan/ Musgrove/and all the Warrnambool boys plus Smerdon of course, they can get round the salary police and the heavyweight jocks more inclined to stay back to school the potential jumpers in those country centres. I've a mate training on the heath at Newmarket and he sent me an image a few days ago of them working horse on the limekilns after lunch!...imagine that here or NZ?......never going to happen and jumpers require time and effort. Sheriff has been seen out jumping after midday too, rubber saddle and all.

You're not 'Twiggy' are you? cos if you are then your opinion doesn't count.....Kerry owns the WA......and he is very credible. The jock is really well known and respected, next thing will be witness protection.....these betting syndicates don't muck about...you cross them, then you piss and crap into a bag for the rest of your life.

Dont believe all you see or hear from AB Miles, the blokes a fair dinkum goose......no that's not being fair to Geese.....maybe a DoDo....now that's better.

Living in Sydney there is only one thing wrong about WA.....it's not far enough away!.........4000k + Klicks is just not enough......they are in denial there today, the press release from Deputy Dawg.......is just not credible....if a jock said it happened/happens then it does....he/she rides in the race's and sits in the jocks room not the Deputy. And he/she went to the Crime bosses with his/her claims.

Well it's a Thursday morning and we wake to the news of the alleged race fixing in Perth by a group of 4 leading jocks and an Eastern States betting syndicate. Another leading rider has gone to lawyer and threatened Crime Commission involvement. [Must have been left out of the rort] This will prove bigger than Ben Hur, as the racecourse investigator has said '' I can find nothing untoward after scrutinising the said race videos'.....however, investigations are ongoing....I bet they are! excuse the pun. Meanwhile in sunny [Not] Melbourne, a leading trainer has denied he is being investigated by stewards for alleged peptide abuse in the past......frozen samples dating back to 2005 are being re-tested for those and other illegal substances. He is not Robinson Crusoe and there was another leading stable that churned out winner after winner back then until just recently whereby its all gone pear shaped. A buyer of countless yearlings for millions of dollars, these yearlings are missing in action re photo finishes or even racecourse appearances and the stable stars have gone. There are others of course who will be very nervous indeed, and the RV in their wisdom even named Mornington trainer Dean Binaisse and his association with an AFL person and peptide use...... The RV stewards are being tightlipped. however they are not denying either which is damning!!! next week they say there will be some announcements.....oh God, Waterhouse/Singo and now this crap...put the prizemoney up in NZ and my horses are there in two shakes of a lambs tail. Stand by Kiwis.....

latest is, Singo will apologise to Gai if Johns 'mans' up and tells all he embellished the story.......it boils down to this. If that is proven by admission we all move on with Gai exonerated on the loose lips to Tom accusation. Tom is then exonerated of gaining an advantage and it's all happy families again. Gai will receive a kick up the arse from The Hat and a small fine for treating MJ and not telling him. Supposition of course will be, a float will leave Strawberry Hills Stud bound for Tulloch Lodge with the cellmates to be repatriated. So same same is a probability. God help us all. Apathy is the great Aussie sport, she'll be right mate' the catchphrase. Stand by Kiwis'''''

sounds like a day at the beehive, eh?

Forgiven mate, welcome to the club.

Another thing, why did the stewards not put the race back 10 minutes once this broke on channel7 and twitter? Nash was yet to mount, there was plenty of time to call Gai and John into the room. Once they had those facts in front of them she should have come out and MJ punters would have gotten their moula back. The question is why did Ray gun let it go on.....is he denying he knew of the escalating scenario? Oh this is lovely, transparency and Waterhouses, oxymoron. Gai blaming her vets, saying as professionals they know best.......she should know that mare inside out, why did Grimley advise Singo to " have a day out and forget the punt" ......he was with the vet Sat morning, the whole thing stinks, and most importantly, in the unlikely event of Singo pulling up stumps and going home, another owner would be lost the industry.....who cares if Gai takes early retirement, her right hand man Mark Newnham is capable of producing as many winners as her, probably more, as he doesn't have the same distractions as Gai.

It appears Andrew Johns ''Embellished'' the truth, according to Singo and by Johns own admission. What is concerning though is Johns 'bet' on MJ at 4-35pm, just before the race......Young Tom asked Singo '' why did Johns change his story'' to which Singo retorted '''someone may have got to him Tom''.......aaah don't you just love all the innuendo......just like the old days with Dad and Pops.....gotta love this city.

journos a mate of mine.....nothing like straight from the horses'.

now appears Peatfield and Grimley knew, told Singo to just enjoy a day out.....as the day unfolded Singo got more pissed and more angrier....why run her for fun?......we know thats not financially viable or kosher,....don't we?

latest suggests,; the vets have circled the wagons and Grimley is with them......it's human nature to protect your arse, and thats whats happening. Even though MJ had a sore neck and couldn't stretch to pick they are all in one camp......Mr Murrihy in our learned opinion there was nothing to suggest she [MJ] is/was not fit to race and Grimley did not think it warranted telling Singo......???? The next thing will be young Tom's paper trail? or e-trail.......now that will interesting......

O'Reilly = Legend!

Vets have just rushed to Singos to inspect More Joyous...breaking now on Channel 7.

The chickens would come home, and a house of cards....apologies.

Speaking of Bill, followed him in Kirribilli the other day, and for those of you that know the North Shore, it is pretty hilly over there. Bill was at the wheel of his merc with his daughter Louise white knuckling in the passengers seat [he must be bloody 90] If the car was to hurtle through the guard rail into the harbour, how many fish would slowly rise to the top and float off bloated and smelly? prize for winning entry!

Funny thing to all this. As Singo referred to the point ' this is the third time this has happened' why have the press and the stewards not pushed for an elaboration? Surely as a matter of judas prudence, would a retrospective inquiry not be a foregone conclusion and the 'outed' called to account? Oh, hang on, this is Australia, transparency and integrity are oxymorons in this context, aren't they?

It appears Aunty Louise is amongst the shareholders. Could Mummy have a quiet little interest also? Is that possible do you think? Would a Waterhouse contemplate such a thing? Nah, never in a month of Sundays.......wink wink.
