My other older brother , Bob Autridge has two starters on a Premier Day at Hastings on Saturday. How good is that ? Bob the near 80 year old ..Will truck down to Hastings on Friday and the locals and Hawks Bay Racing will cherish him. Race 2 Teen Titan (15 FF ) and Race 5.Thunder (18 FF) Bob's son Toby has TOMMYRA in race 1 .Hawkes Bay Hurdles. Track upgrade to good 3 ?? Older horses feeling their legs first time this prep ? Will be a fun Roady Trip for Bob.

Rev...Caught up with Bob last Saturday for a couple of quiet ones. Great effort to have his two charges in on a premier Gr.1 day. Track at Hastings will be firmer and a bit of an unknown but that won't worry young Bob because on Friday night they will have already won their races five times over! All the best to the great man! All going well the Mainlander's may get a glimpse of the 79 year old teenager in November?

Not only that they don't seem to realise that when a horse wins a mdn it goes to a R65, usually when it wins a R65 it goes to a R72, so there has to be a pathway for these horses in the calendar given what they have initially programmed .

They canned a R72 1200 at New Plymouth next week and replaced it with an open rating race , their reasoning was that there was a R72 1200 at Ellerslie the same day , now that is clueless . Bad enough for an owner having to fork out for transport to NP but now they think it was ok to suggest it's all good , just head up the road to Auckland . This one serves the northern trainers very well tho , get used to it .

To me it suggests we can go back to the races? Havent seen that many people at Riccarton outside of cup week..

Yip, not the best look https://images.scribblelive.com/2020/9/17/41be5308-8c00-4946-a2d6-65e2ee4cc8a4_800.jpg?fbclid=IwAR1oiPZLQ8Lduv9r-Rv8cFRZtfJt57QIeVqSzrWTKepbUbO09T4J5Q1_eTQ

I am involved in a horse that won a r65 1400M (3 weeks ago), the next applicable available race is not till end of Sep (or beginning Oct). So we have had to have a trial between runs....crazy (more expenses).

You hit the nail on the head. They dont want their progressive horses to move up. You win a 65 race then you cant get a start for a month even though they may have had 8 starts for 2 wins but if you had 40 starts for 3 wins they will cater for them. Then when they have a rating 72 race horses rated from 73 to 76 enter so you are on the ballot once again. Those are the same horses that got a start before yours when you had to enter the open races. Time they fronted up and let us know who this so called committee is

At this rate I'm hopeful my horses never win a race and stay in maiden class forever! The odds are more than likely in my favour anyhow.... so I probably don't need to worry?

Have been waiting for Ohoka and co to come on here and praise Trump and Jared Kushner for all the peace treaty agreements in the middle east. Na So what happened to Isis?....magically disappeared! NK and KIm? Libya and Syria ....they have ended the endless wars! Troops coming home from Afghanistan! How is all that even possible? .....the MSM silent? See it's been the deep state cabal scumbags all along invading and controlling these countries and inciting war for profit and control. So Team Trump has neutralised them and their fake news mates have nowhere to hide. Drain the swamp.

Common sense what does that look like these days .

And there is a difference between a 12 and 1400 too. I think these people need to show their face because I reckon most of them dont invest in our industry and they dont race horses otherwise we wouldnt have this unworkable programme. I next option for a 74 1400 is on the 2nd of October and all those horses that run this weekend will be looking for it too so once again more than likely we will miss out. We can nominate for an open 1400 but as always we are on the ballot or miss out. All I want them to do is use their comman sense look at what is happening with the fields and give us a fair opportunity

The Government partly had to bail them out due to piss poor management and customer service two areas that would vastly improve with locally based competition. It actually might save the Government from forking out millions in the future as it would result in the NZ TAB having to actually be more committed to what it is supposed to be doing eg been a more cost and dedicated Company. Past results have clearly shown 'parasites' of the Industry don't exactly have to reside overseas to feed from it. Maggots are parasites but if used for beneficial reasons they way can actually improve a situation. If Aussie Bookmakers were allowed a presence in NZ & were required to pay the same Industry fees that the NZ TAB pays then their can't be a problem. The two biggest factors from such a move would be obviously more money to the Industry and the NZ betting customers receiving a better service than what has been provided over the past number of years. Monopolies usually pay a price to retain a monopoly but sadly the only one paying with regards to betting in NZ is the poor customer. The payment by Aussie bookmakers on NZ gallops race field fees would be better regulated here in NZ than overseas. Bookmakers are well known for avoiding paying tax on large bets by not recording them officially. If they can get out of paying fees or taxes on a reduced level they will. Overseas travel and new BMW's have to be updated every 12 months somehow and every dollar helps the cause. Voluntary and the full payment of race field fees by Bookies as proposed won't be recognised by all of them, that's money back odds.

For 10 days this has been a common occurance at the club....Punters just accept this level of service. Why?

The public are just finding out know the virus was modified at the Wahun Insitute of Virology. Of course Team Trump told the anons back in March....even the Harvard Doctors name. Of course CNN will make up a fake story and idiot Okokaman will believe them.....just like CNN told him CA fires are caused by fake climate change.

Don't listen to the doctors. You must only listen to the official information. Wake up Kiwis....this is the reason a large march is going to hit Auckland streets.tomorrow
