Punt Drunk: WA racing on hold as Perth goes back to 2020

Punt Drunk racing news

Punt Drunk racing news – Monday, February 1

Can you believe it’s February already? Well, if you can’t, we don’t blame you! January fair dinkum flew by, but what that means is Australian Group 1 racing returns this weekend. Make sure to follow HorseBetting.com.au‘s tips each and every day in the lead up to Saturday’s features.


Perth lockdown takes us back in time

Just when we thought life was back to normal, Western Australia has decided to throw a cat amongst the pigeons and throw everything in chaos. As Perth, the Peel region and southwestern WA enter a five-day lockdown, racing in the state has come to a standstill until the weekend, with no trials or training until at least Tuesday. Unfortunately, that means on Wednesday we may not be able to bow out with Pikey in the last.


That idiot got arrested

As everyone in the racing industry is no doubt aware, there was a wanker that put plenty of lives in danger on Saturday at Trentham. In pleasant news for everyone, that wanker has since been arrested by NZ police. Even better, there were no injuries to any competitors on the day. In fact, Boston Strong Boy was declared a non-runner in the event due to this idiot affecting his chances of winning at a crucial time.


Behemoth looks good to go

How bloody impressive did Behemoth look on Saturday? Sure, he didn’t beat anything too crazy in the Listed Durbridge Stakes, but he deadset shat it in! Kemalpasa was the only genuine challenger he had to overcome, but he made the multiple Group winner look like a genuine BM58 galloper. The All Star Mile will be Behemoth’s grand final this campaign, one would assume, and boy, will he be hard to beat at The Valley!
