Yes - That's him....Mitch Harris - Very knowledgeable and a entertaining host - was sad to hear he was leaving, used to listen too him on my way home from work at 11pm. Big Tony Amos very good as you say

M Mitch Harris was the night time host. Sean Plunket says what he thinks,no beating around the bush with him. Peter Williams better than i anticipated. Enjoyed Ryan Bridge on the AM show last week. Big Tony Amos is ok. Leah Panapa is going to be a hard sell for me. Still miss Graham Hill on Sat/Sun nights.

What do you want us to do get out the violin  That's  choices you  make in life some of us work 3 or more jobs to pay for what you are playing with ... not to mention the  jobs we do have fine tolerances that can mean life or death. Racing is merely a sport that we enjoy don't grumble enjoy it Everyone with stock sleeps with one eye open 

I Don't mind Peter Williams - enjoy listening to him, although there was nothing wrong with Mark Sainsbury. Also like listening to Sean Plunkett  and Ryan Bridge. I do miss the guy who used to be on until midnight over the last few years - Name escapes me now. 

Westbury Stud Fees - 2019 Reliable man $15K - Down from $17.5K Tarzino - Unchanged at $15K Swiss Ace $10K - Down from $12K? Redwood - Unchanged at $10K El Roca - $9K - Up from $7.5K Telperion - Unchanged at $5K   Surprised that El Roca has jumped up on the back of only 2 stakes placegetters - Still early days for him though.

Westbury Stud have released the fees for their 2019 stallion line-up with Reliable Man and Tarzino heading the roster at $15,000 + GST. Reliable Man has sired several stakes winners over the past twelve months headed by his daughter Sentimental Miss winning the Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m) and Belle du Nord winning the Gr. 2 Cal Isuzu Stakes (1600m). His season looks far from over with the likes of Grinzinger Star, Nobu and Trusty Lad all aiming at Australian Group One features in the next few months. Dual Australian Group One winner Tarzino is entering his third year at stud after receiving strong support in his first two years serving 124 mares in his first season and 133 mares in 2018. Redwood and Swiss Ace will stand at $10,000 + GST, with El Roca and Telperion rounding out the roster at $9,000 + GST and $5,000 + GST respectively.

Berri ,  your  name suggestion is at long odds to win. Chris would have to assign The Swiss Ace gelding  a syndicate Lawyer and Public Relations Manager to manage your 5% owners input. Just jesting Berri ! Bart Cummings loved Anzac Day . " It keeps things in perspective." What an amazing offer by Chris Wood.!! Te Teko trials win imminent.
