Cubity reckons smart move by Sasha . And welcome Sir Fortresshundred. And Kay is a feared competitor And to Steve P....May your captaincy lead to deserved gloriousness....

Got a dog in at Auckland on Sunday....it'll be his tenth start there and it's his sixth box 6

Just spotted the Alex Park fields, smallest field is 9 starters then every other race has between 10-13 starters. Even an Emergency in Race 2. Good to see the numbers picking up.

Heard there is a bit of rain in the area forecast. No chance they will be cancelled? Hope to attend I will buy all cafers there a 7oz beer.* ** * conditions apply ** not to be used in conjunction with any other offers

I just got along on Saturday morning. Disclaimer: I wanted to see Proisir. Usual suspects at Waikato. Agree, Ocean Park has let down nicely. Atlante was probably the surprise packet of the morning. More quality than I thought - his photos don't do him justice. He uses himself well, particularly behind the saddle. Unfortunately Complacent thought he was back at Randwick to do battle with Criterion and co, so pranced rather than walked. I look forward to seeing him in 12 months time. Proisir was everything I expected really. He's got that Danehill strength, especially prevalent through the shoulder and forearm, and speed, but sufficient girth and a nice top line to leave horses with scope. I also thought he had some of the good Centaine features around the head and while I've only ever seen photos of Agricola and his better progeny, some of the fine Te Parae sires athleticism and agility through his hip and hind quarter.

I reckon Sharks will be fav to take this trophy out

Not for one minute am I implying anything untoward......it's pretty much as slim shady says....crap happens. his turn will come...............eventually.

It's a combination of new ratings system and trainers starting fees. There is a large amount of horses accepted that don't normally race at Auckland

Sad I no the feeling

Thanks Tom, you're in.

Yes please Tom

Both are Champions. Don't denigrate either or compare. Over 1200m, BC would have beaten Winx. Any further, Winx is the one.

WhoKnows you are totally wrong about Alan Sharrock coming across as a bit of a loudmouth. His comments are always measured and realistic. Try and be positive for a change!

Just a matter of time before Gareth gets a topliner in his barn. Good luck to him.

Hi Jack Would be good to have you on board for the Chiefs

If Trump gets in, someone will likely attempt to pop him off within a month of being inaugurated if not before.. that's his choice but a very likely outcome. He has made too many enemies and talks too much rubbish. His business experience is testament to what he will achieve in the US if made President.. he has spent too much money in making his billions, he has lost more than he's made, he has lost more people jobs than he's given people jobs and he's a self absorbed idiot.. like most of us yes, but for the President of the USA.. a road to self annihilation. We might think it's entertaining to watch and it is, but we may yet have to live with the outcome and the repercussions, so now we all think it's fun and games until the switches are flicked and all we can do is hope we survive the global fall out. You think Russia cares about Trump... hell no... why would they care about a man who has built his life on skyscrapers that can be levelled in 5 minutes.. they go, his millions go, and then he has nothing, no clout, no sense, definitely no logic and no global friends. Welcome to the world of Eastern and European power because that is what we would be heading for if Trump marches in to the White House.

Or it illustrates a lot of breeders have more money than sense and love hype, promotion and glossy pictures in choosing a potential consort for their mares.
