I preferred Lady Eleanor, Fog On The Tyne and Meet Me On The Corner myself, but yes, the mere mention of their name immediately takes one back decades 👍
Lindisfarne , geez that brings back memories , one of my favorite songs of the 70s was Running Man . Just watched it again on YouTube for the first time in years , wife said she had never heard it , I just said "neanderthal" .
Thankyou .
Blaird you are in.
I am more than happy to stand down.
As I said earlier, I was thinking of doing it anyway when I saw that you just missed out!I
Having said that, I’ll be helping Joan, so in reality I’ll still be playing 😂
Because of very clever contract clauses that so oftern jockeys sign without independent legal advice example Jockey rides horse in jump out or trail trainer says good ride thanks OH by the way can you ride it next week, Jockey replies yeap but you have to confirm with my agent . Agent does nothing and yet takes 10% of every thing YES jump out .trails race ride fees and winning %%% easy as money for jam just gotta be in first
He certainly is "highly inflated" and the last time Te Rapa was a sell-out was 1973 when Status Quo, Lindisfarne and Black Sabath were on stage in the middle of the track!
whatever you decide Insider it is a mighty fine gesture...and Blair is a damn good sport to not accept it...but you just do whatever you want insider you are a good long time supporter here. Good luck to all the finalists.
SNM, & Scooby, Blaird is in as I am happy to stand down and help Joan (not that she needs help - LOL)
Seriously, when I saw that he had just missed out (after adding to the sponsorship) and I had just scraped in, I thought that it would be a good idea to stand down.
Then seeing Blaird’s post helped me make up my mind!

I don’t know how much impact the cricket had - looked pretty busy at Seddon Park especially in the “free range” area. Was there any gate admission at Te Rapa today and if so how much?
Horse racing in the UK struggles against football and race times have been re-arranged so as not to clash with England playing World Cup or European Championship matches.
Ascot Park did look genuinely busy - whether there were 6,000 sure I don’t know. I don’t suppose NZTR or the clubs publish attendance numbers.
