Well dawned a beautiful day here in the Bay (photo taken from Havelock North looking towards where the Hastings track is).. sorry still haven't trimmed the trees.!!

I must say, this chap Justin Evans, calling at Ashburton today is a pretty reasonable commentator as well. There is probably more depth about than we thought.

Would you dare question a woman about times and dates? I mean, REALLY??????

Rest in peace Fred my friend. A true gentleman, kind and compassionate to his dogs and everyone he met. Commiserations to the whanau. We will all miss him.

ENTRY THREAD : So You Think you're a Weekend Hussler? Memsie Stakes Day $$$ Comp : 31 August 2019 : All Welcome ! It's Spring Eve Racing and to celebrate the joys of the coming season we will be selecting from some fantastic fields at Hastings, Rosehill, Ruakaka and of course, the New Zealand Bloodstock Memsie amongst others, at Caulfield This is an individual comp - Your aim is to come home at the head of the field with the most dollars in your Racecafe account Please read the Rules: 1. Post two selections for each race on the Schedule. You can post the number and the name but I will only take note of the number. If the number of the horse and name of the horse are different, I will go with the number. 2. You will be awarded 10 times the winning dividend for each winning selection. There is no return for finishing second or third. 3. You will be awarded an additional $20 if your two selections in the race finish first and second (ie. get the Quinella). 4. You have two Best Bets to use. You can use a Best Bet on any race but you cannot use your two BBs on the same race. If you use a Best Bet, any dollars earned will be doubled. For example if you win and use a BB you get 2 x your winning return or if you win and get the Quinella, you can earn 2 x your winning return and 2 x the $20 return for the Quinella. 5. You can post selections up until 1.50pm, 29 minutes before the scheduled start time of the first comp race. 6. NOTE: You can post scratching replacements up until 2.05pm. After 2.05pm no scratching replacements are allowed and only late scratchings will revert to the TAB sub. 7. If any races are abandoned and you have used a BB on that race, then the BB will move to the next race in the schedule where you haven't used a BB. 8. If there is a draw on Dollars at the end of the day, it will be a countback on winners, then quinellas, then BB winners, then BB quinellas. If still the same then you share the accolades 9.

I need to know your secret. How did she manage to find a winning ticket 5 months before the race? Ticket found June 12, 2018. Race took place November 17, 2018? Ticket wasn't over six months old. It was five months premature

They use the Duckworth -Lewis formula Peter, only works on wet tracks

Your not that sort of person .... just in case your wrong you hide but in the mean time what you are is pretty evident to anyone my guess is your a non competitive horse trainer today who had a bit of a run once :::: you blame your poor performance on every one else cheating —— an I can just about guarantee there is no mirror in your house an if there is you never look in it someone will front your name one day all weasels come out there holes sooner or later for a bit sunshine
