  1. https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/thoroughbred-sales/results/2007/4959/new-zealand-bloodstock-2007-premier-yearling-sale/1 According to that page, Roger J bought the horse from Haunui consignment in 2007. He may be able to help you with details of ownership.
  2. The "water jump" on Friday: https://i.stuff.co.nz/sport/racing/94731056/trenthams-big-jumps-day-falls-victim-to-storm-sweeping-country
  3. Apparently he drove himself home. Legend! https://i.stuff.co.nz/sport/racing/94770502/dave-mcdonalds-condition-improves-following-medical-event
  4. The weather in Wellington has been terrible for days and it is still miserable here. Yes, Disappointing but Absolutely the correct decision
  5. I will say this for NZTR, it sometimes takes a while to reply but their staff addresses are all listed: http://www.nzracing.co.nz/NZTR/About/Staff-Contacts.aspx .
  6. This is in the lease though, rather than being a Rule of Racing?
  7. The one I just saw was a black and white montage of about six people and their jobs / lives with a shot of gingernuts in the middle .... that's all I can remember about it
  8. Just saw the ad. Even with the heads up from here, it made no sense. What is the message?
  9. Trackside 2 listings are lagging. Not showing up Rotorua or Riverton on mysky info - still showing up as Racing to Win and then straight into Aussie - or is it just me? I assume Riverton is on 2?
  10. He is a quirky old guy though. If he doesn't like things, he lets the jock know. Today was a hurdle of course ... I might think about one more steeple before they make a call on retirement?
  11. Ha yes I just posted on this in the Palemo thread. Thought I must be reading it wrong ..
  12. Why is the Stipes Report loaded for Waikato, the one for Counties? Or am I reading it wrong? (Note - as of 7.43pm)
  13. Hmmmmm. Also, they don't respond to visitor posts on their fb. I've just been informed by the admin that this is because they are "often opinion based." Do you not value opinion from stakeholders?
  14. https://www.facebook.com/nzthoroughbredracing/ "The Board aims to revitalise thoroughbred racing." Why not start with your Facebook page, which you don't appear to have touched since 2012? Or try to respond to visitor posts and emails. Cheers! Charlotte
  15. I don't say it's a record -- just that it's a significant feat which merits recognition by the sport's governing body. Which currently pays a lot of money to contract out its PR. Added to which, it was the nz gallops meet of the day so the club also deserves some publicity.
  16. www.stuff.co.nz/sport/racing/92076264/myers-magic-shines-at-marlborough-races
  17. The irony is that the local paper did do a write up but you're absolutely correct that no one at NZTR level which is charged w promoting the sport has shown the initiative and picked it up ..
  18. It was ridiculous- not even a sidebar in the Dim Post today when Blenheim is in the general circ. area. Instead Splurge got a mention , when it's trained in north and raced on Saturday. No oversight of racing cover anymore :-(
  19. ^^ He should be a leading contender for the Contribution to Racing Award at the end of season dinner.
  20. Was a entertaining days watching - 6/8 and close up in both others is a great effort. Well done Myers Waterlea looks in good order too.
