    Basically "Son of a Dick", born with a dick, should not be gate-crashing women's sport.Like it or not, those born males are in the main inherently physically stronger than those born female and where physical strength is the primary attribute necessary in a sport such as weightlifting then the decision to allow it/them to compete against women is completely out of order. The death knell for women's sport. Let rip Mikey!

    Auckland Card Thursday

    As an owner of a novice trotter having its 1st start, we are actually very pleased to have a mobile start. As long as the mobile doesn't go to fast, we've always found our novices are more likely to have a decent chance of racing in the field from a mobile than a stand. The very worst for a novice trotter is a standing start with race winners and unrulies behind. Can almost guarantee won't go away, especially if drawn 1. There is logic behind the fact that all juvenile trots are mobiles. Imagine if all novice pacers had do standing starts only! Having trotters doing standing starts all the time is more to do with historically only having 2 trot races/meeting and therefore needing hcps to cover the 'rating' spread. At Auckland with near equal numbers of trotters and pacers, I think we should have more equal treatment for both gaits (stand and mobile opportunities for both).

    I was going to add a slightly humorous slant on things but I did once before on another thread and kind of got vilified for it but I've just been doing a bit of reading,gee a lot of women sports players playing men's sport that are gay,quite revealing really. Just to add some of those Chinese women in the shot put look out of place in women's sport,some of them look like as though they were conceived in a laboratory

  10. Well, I can honestly say I take so little notice of them that if you showed me a photo of BP and sweens I wouldn't know which one was which. I don't know why they can't refer to each other by their christian names. I'm sure they have been told they look much cooler if they use stupid nicknames.

  14. The third day at Goodwood took place on a fine afternoon with the wind much lighter than on the Wednesday. The ground continued to improve and was called Good to Soft, Good in places, The third and final Group 1 feature at the meeting was the Nassau over 2000m for the fillies and mares. You could call it Goodwood's female version of the Eclipse and given the strong performances by the classic 3-y-o in the King George and the Sussex, there was plenty of support for Diane winner JOAN OF ARC but she faced a couple of strong older fillies in LADY BOWTHORPE, who was making her first attempt at 2000m after a strong late finish in the Falmouth and AUDARYA, a multiple Group 1 last year and a fine runner up to LOVE in the Prince of Wales at Ascot on her seasonal bow. Nassau Stakes: A scintillating performance by LADY BOWTHORPE paying a huge compliment to Sussex winner ALCOHOL FREE and connections of SNOW LANTERN, who had considered the Nassau before opting for the Sussex, must have been regretting their choice on this evidence. Let's not forget LADY BOWTHORPE got to within a length and a half of PALACE PIER in the Lockinge and the move from a stiff straight 1600m to an easier 2000m perhaps wasn't such a journey as might have been imagined. The winner is in the Matron back over 1600m but I wonder if connections will be thinking of the Opera or perhaps going to America for the Filly & Mare Turf. It was an amazing emotional story for the trainer, William Jarvis, for whom it was a first Group 1 winner since Grand Lodge in 1994. That was before jockey Kieren Shoemark was born and it was redemption for a jockey who has endured his share of problems and for whom this was a first Group 1. Kudos to Owner Emma Banks who stuck with Shoemark when Oisin Murphy was available - sometimes, loyalty is rewarded. Runner up ZEYAADAH was second in the Cheshire Oaks and was fancied for Epsom but she flopped badly and her road back has come via a Group 3 on the all-weather at Newcastle. JOAN OF ARC battled on well enough but her limitations were exposed and it may be the Diane was a soft Group 1. AUDARYA was very disappointing - it's interesting to note both her and LOVE haven't come on for their Ascot runs and I suspect that was a really tough race which bottomed both fillies. The Group 2 Richmond for the juvenile colts saw a bunch finish with the first five split by barely a length. ASYMMETRIC had to show plenty of courage to get through a narrow gap and win The second, KHUNAN, reversed Ascot form with the fifth, PERFECT POWER, who perhaps didn't get the run of what was a messy race. It hasn't really advanced our knowledge of the juvenile hierarchy at 1200m. At 1400m, Chesham and Tyros winner POINT LONSDALE leads the pack and it's little surprise to see him head the 2022 2000 Guineas market. Just a mention of the Group 3 Gordon which went to Irish raider OTTOMAN EMPEROR who has Australian ownership: https://www.oti.com.au/ He did it well seeing off the late challenge of SIR LUCAN and Epsom Derby fifth THIRD SPIRIT. Trainer Johnny Murtagh suggested the Leger as the obvious target (Gordon winners often go to Doncaster in mid September) and while ruling out an Australian campaign this year, I got the distinct impression OTTOMAN EMPEROR will be heading south next year - a long range Melbourne Cup plot (you heard it here first)?

  15. Foot and Mouth Disease 2001 video produced in 2015 with previously unseen footage and uploaded on Youtube in 2020 Note 2021 is the 20 year anniversary of the heinous destruction of vast numbers of uninfected animals and loss of human lives from suicides within the farming community all relating back to exactly the same Professor Neil Ferguson who is telling us all how to live our lives in 2020-2021. One has to question the intelligence of some of the 'Best Practices' and lack of Critical thinking of those teaching as Professors and within the Education system who fail to understand 'Context' of animal and Human disease situations that also were reported back in the 1800's due to random incidents that occurred then. This video is understood to have being created by UKColumn UK - Be mindful there is Graphic Content so exercise commonsense if around children when viewing.

    Grey Way

    Hi, just to set the record straight. Lol. There is a post which suggests Grey Way should have been relegated in his win over Show Gate in the Stewards at Riccarton in the 70s. I have watched the replay of that race many times and still have a recording of it. They were in the middle of the track and there was no interference. Show Gate carried three kgs more so it was a huge effort but Grey Way was a fair winner. He was an amazing horse. From memory, 15 track records and at one stage held the Australasian record for 1400m - which very much proves how good he was. Grey Way was such a professional racehorse … he would jump, settle and then change gears when asked. It always bugged me that the connections put Maurice Campbell on him for some races, he didn’t need such an aggressive rider. There will never be another horse in NZ that wins 51 races and only an elite few achieve a 30 per cent plus win rate. He was a trude champion.

    Grey Way

    I had the pleasure of riding him a few times, never in a race, but raceday He gave you one hell of a feel, big strong boy with a beautiful quick action once he quickened up I also had the pleasure of winning a race on his nemesis, the freakish Show Gate She didn’t give you the same feel but she was a hell of a mare The tragedy is that Grey Way wouldn’t win 20 races today, because the handicapping model we use is so fucked up, it drives consistent male horses out of the industry or into WFA far too quickly . Sad really, but nice to do the feel good nostalgia thing, and to reflect on their greatness

    Grey Way

    Hi, I have the recording on a DVD … I will have to ask a techie minded person if they can load it on the site. There are other races on there from Turf Talk … one collection when he was retired. Pat Corboy’s wife kindly sent me a video which I got converted to a DVD. There may be someone out there who has the same collection … one of the races … which unfortunately is not very clear … shows his incredible acceleration. I realise it wasn’t a stewards view … but the horses were in the middle of the track down the straight and the great mare does not look inconvenienced in any way. No argument that she was amazing … tragedy she didn’t win the Wellington Cup.
