Just for interest MelP, who's funding the P.S. I just logged on and found the web site to be very very impressive.

LTF ...
As a website Designer I can vouch that the new site is pretty good. But it also probably looks super impressive in comparison to other websites in the racing industry, which for some reason lag well behind the field in the quality stakes. From a design perspective, I can say that the Racenet website is atrocious and I let them know a few months ago and was offering my advice to G. Robbins in an exchange of emails, but it seems that all of my advice was ignored. I did make my offer of a free design he thanked me and was going to consider my offer but never got back to me ... |

M.P. you might be interested to know that Frank Hudson and Kevin Saber, are the first Victorian bookies to join the Western Australian Best Bookies web site. Apparently, Best Bookies have waived the 3800 joining fee for the first 5 Vic bookies to join. They have 4 N.S.W. bookies on it, with Garry Clarke being the latest addition. Any interest from the Dalton camp??

T.Q. Just because they gave you the tijuana brass, is enough reason for me not to read the racenet website.[>o][>o]

Hey LTF hope your going well mate! i can tell you one thing im not funding anything IM CAST!! IMO.
to answer your question im not too sure who is $$$ behind the operation |

By:
Thanks for the good wishes, my son. Yes, I am going very well. I reckon at my age, waking up in the morning is a win. Not happy to hear you're cast. Actually, I don't know if I'd be posting that when you are going to be working for the punters show providing info.[:o]
Quick, call Betfair and get the post removed. It's not too late. No one reads this stuff anyway. I'm disappointed though that you don't know who's putting up the dosh to fund the boys. I was sure you were going to say it was DaJudge. He won stacks off Pollets tips, didn't he, so I thought he'd be more than happy to underwrite the boys.  [;)] |

Speaking of Frank Hudson, I thought he was a Melbourne rails bookie? I saw him working the Holbrook non-TAB Saturday meeting on Golden Slipper day in the "local ring". What on earth is he doing there? Playing mugs and holding small cash money easier than the rails? |
|
By:
Frank will go anywhere, Medialad if he thinks there's a quid to be made. I didn't go to the races on saturday, so I didn't see that he was missing. Mind you, Holbrook!!! There must have been some reason for it. Maybe Mel P can find out.[smiley:crazy]

By:
By the way Medialad, That Holbrook meeting is a good one. I went once about 20 years ago, stopping at the Holbrook Bakery for the best eclair in Australasia if not the world. I was in Albury not long ago, and went to Holbrook just for the eclairs. No wonder I look like the Good Year Blimp.
How many bookies did they get there. Bret cavanough got his start there I think. |

By:
They run sheep on the Holbrook course 51 weeks of the year!
|
|
By:
It's a great meeting. I try to go most years. There would've been about 12 local bookies and 2 working the interstate ring. Cavanough was at Tocumwal but it would be a good place to train from. A nice track. No one there. Work them when you want. Your own private training set up without having to build it yourself. And gee your keen for the eclair! Bakery doesn't beat the Ouyen vanilla slice, though!

Vanilla Slice 8/10 Eclair 11/10
They used to race there a lot more in the old days. When doing the form for races, if I found a horse that had run at Holbrook over say 1200 and the horse had finished in the first 3 with a time for the race around the 1.10 mark, provided it was only beaten about a length, I would back it whether it raced in Wagga or Albury or even Sydney. I found, that for whatever reason, horses that could run that time at Holbrook could just about win a 1200 metre race anywhere. 12 bookies on locals and 2 interstate. That's a bloody good ring in this day and age. Did you notice if Frank was giving them a decent bet, or was he just there to earn? |

By:
Hey Medialad, I got the letter about the bookies online through the WA joint, would be ok im sure but not something we really want to do with our business we're comfortable the way things are.
Did hear Hudson went to Hoolbrook along with David McLauchlan.......i was actually of the understanding that if you held a City license you were required to work that meeting and not have the choice when/where you worked |
|
By:
12 might've pushed it, but definitely 10. Think there was 5 either side, facing each other. Yeah, MP, there was one other Melb city bookie there, but couldn't remember his name. Don't think there was a lot of money around and local bookies weren't too impressed with "outsiders" joining the ring, either from what I can gather. In the market horses won most races, but having said that, a lot of those eased in betting. Most of them said they broke about even I think, but not sure about Hudson. He should've been able to cover his petrol money, at least.
