    Gruff thanks. Yes racing research is a hobby of mine. Sometimes it may take several hours to find answers to queries but I am only to happy to offer a free service to anyone who wants sometimes obscure racing information.

    Boss Hogg I like your style. Poor old Toblerone must be having a bad day on the bowling greens at Papamoa. Most of my recent posts have been jockeys or horse histories. Toblerone thinks that all the information I provide is not worth a tin of shit. Fair enough!

    Acquired him from Racecafe 8 yrs ago but sadly passed away today. A great advert for Greyhounds as pet.

    Colin Reeves

    Ex Jockey and my uncle Colin Reeves passed away on Friday. Some older "cafers" may remember Colin from the 60s/70s.Colin was based around Timaru and Ashburton and rode for many good stables of the time. He was a very good apprentice and rode both flat and jumping races.Rode a few winners in some of the better winter carnivals and was top SI apprentice one year. Unfortunately Colin had a chequered career and was dogged by weight and alcohol problems,after a couple of assault charges at different racecources he was banned from all racecourses in NZ..After retiring as a Jockey he lead a colorful life with stints on the run from police and subsequently a couple of lags in the klink.He worked until 70 as couldn't afford not too and retired to Taumaranui a few years ago.Unfortunately his life was controlled by alcohol and shagging.Alcohol ruined his first marriage and since then he has left quite a few kids to a lot different woman. RIP Colin

  5. Bugger all the apologists out there but she should get a month plus for her ride on the big shortner in the first at Riverton. Had it all sewn up and decided that riding it out to the actual finish line is what others do. Its not the first time she has done it either, i know shes an apprentice but has been around for ages and should have some idea how to ride a finish by now, even if its only hands and heels. And no, i did not punt it but know plenty that did on both islands. Greg

  7. New Conservatives They tweeted the above New Conservative@NewConservNZ · Dec 5, 2019 Don't believe the Doomers. Imagine the legacy of baseless fear they will be remembered for. NC will pull NZ out of the Paris Climate Accord, rescind the Carbon Zero bill and scrap the ETS.#LetsFixThis #nzpolhttps://www.newconservative.org.nz/environment-policy …

    It certainly is worth a tin of shit. Your contribution is very worthwhile Mr Glub. A lot of people have accessed a lot of information they themselves would have struggled to source.Myself included. Keep it up Not sure that was Toblerone. More like Nutty Snap

    1700m Races

    With both these top horses in your team and both are very good, you play to get the best result and handing up for a cart to the line was good thinking. Just missed though, the winner is going great so why would you park him and kill your own chance

    Toblerone thanks for your reply. I am indeed doing something meaningful with my day. Visiting an elderly friend with chronic health problems. FYI the Manager of my Local TAB has already been subjected to a torrent of abuse. Not from me I can assure you!

    You sure do love the sound of your voice. Poking your nose in to everything with half-assed opinions. Believe me it is tiresome. None of it ever worth a tin of shit. Get yourself down to the Papamoa Bowling Club and do something meaningful with your day.

    RITA and Raceform Publications have stated that the first issue of Raceform would be available today December 5. Clearly they have failed to deliver. I have no doubt that front line TAB workers will be subject to unfair abuse because of this fiasco. Just another example of how dysfunctional NZ Racing is. Can’t wait for the old canard of Courier problems to be trotted out.

    Tim,go and have a look at the NZTR Web site and have a look at the stewards 4 videos. Then you will see this is the worst decision by both the RIU/JCA, the incident happened 3 strides before the post and how anyone can come to the conclusion the best horse didn't win the race is beyond belief.

    ~ R2 Ellerslie...

    Even with camera shots from four different angles it gets down to interpretation and how good your argument it. Over the years in cases like this I've noticed the decision more often than not goes the way of the short-priced favourite which it did in this case. Comparitively fifty years ago with no cameras, at the merest touch the jockey on the second horse would immediately stand up in the stirrups and give a tug on the reins. To all watching the horse would obviously be "badly checked" and then being beaten only a head and without any re-plays the decision would go his way without a second thought. I would say a few of you out there would relate to this.

    You have more chance of purchasing it from a Dairy as there are only a couple of T.A.B."s left in Auckland
