So the trainer says the horse needs a name ….like NOW...and then Mrs. Cubes said something like we need a name for the horse and then Cubes didn't know what to do and then Coco the chocolate Lab brings in the toy stuffed Flamingo and Dodecahedron ….the eldest....says "Share the Flamingo"" and Coco the Lab doesn't and so Prism the middle child of two says "Share the Flamingo " but Coco is as thick as anything so doesn't so Mrs. Cubes says Bad Flamingo and that's how the thoroughbred got his name

Cullen/Purdon line up 5 horses at headquarters for 3 wins and 2 places. You can certainly back their horses with confidence unlike some harness stables.

Coercion, Don't these people know the fundamental rights we are all enshrined under law? Looks like this is a copy book of word for word out of the PM's office without factoring into account "Rule of Law." Bring on the Judicial Reviews. Who is the person at NZTR who is in charge of their legal Department and why are they not asking further questions of the PM? Do they use copy and paste without thinking outside of the square? The Coronavirus Act is Inconsistent with The Human Rights Acts and people's rights. People are protected from unlawful discrimination in certain areas of life. These are: Government or public sector activities Employment Access to Education Access to public places, vehicles, and facilities Provision of Goods and Services Provision of land, Housing and accommodation Industrial and professional associations, qualifying bodies and vocational training bodies Partnerships The Act also has special provisions that apply to Discriminatory Laws. Exceptions - One needs to ask, Are Government or public sector actions "reasonable, lawful and demonstrably justifiable in a Free and Democratic Society" Are their "Affirmative action schemes based on genuine need "? Or required under the ''Provision of insurance based on statistical data or medical opinion? See Info Human Rights Commission

Hip Hop said yesterday the reason they said 6 weeks was simply they were short of doses. Back then they said it was because 6 weeks gave better protection. Now they want less than 4 weeks - obviously simply because they want to crow percentages fully jabbed as soon as possible because they have run out of crowing material for their daily P.P.B

If I can produce my double vaccine cert why cant I go to the races??

Would be popular for Mr Croon (lol)

From Germany

Progressives have been learning fast how to impose their will on the masses. After watching many of the b/s hearings during the Trump years in the USA, it is now so easy to spot their tactics. Look to the court cases this week in Australia (streamed live & then removed from You Tube) testing the vaccine mandates. It was the worst kangaroo court you have ever seen with the "defence" lawyers reminding me of Mr Magoo. They (the defence team) were setups and put no real argument together, so now they can claim the govt has court support to mandate whatever they want on normal folk. It was a total sham. There is just no interest from the media in looking at the reality of the health outcomes of the healthy and the young with this virus. There is no interest in looking into treatments. It is all about "positive tests" and vaccines. The inmates (epidemiologists & politicians) are running the asylum.

What are u two old fools up to ... A duel where no one wants to die, or is it handbags at 5 feet ......

I reiterate--Ardern -- "this is a tricky virus and it is a KILLER"! 8 weeks later and 2 deaths of severely compromised individuals amongst 1448 Covid positives. Even in a country over-represented by criminals and half-wits the statistics must be telling you something.Wake up and then wise-up people.

That will be because there's an expiry date on the lot they currently have and it's not going to plan with their Targets, isn't it?

We should have Super Gee and Gruff in a shootout. See how the real big guns go

Straight A stats and pure at bursary and Uni …I’ll be ok

@NextPlease I am astonished that a so called professional tipster would put bets on two days in advance without knowing final track conditions...Good luck.....

Clash of the Titans. May the best man win.

Says it all

Since our freedoms were at stake, ironically...

Since when did Pro Choice become the enemy ?

Interesting the cafe owner in the south island advertising for staff,if you've had the jab, then no job, unvaccinated people only apply, fair enough I guess his busines, his rules.

Pickle, were you hiding under the desk at geography lessons? Hamilton City is in Waikato Region. So are Colville and Taumarunui. Waikato District is in Waikato Region. Waikato District and Hamilton City were placed in Level 3. Waipa District and Matamata-Piako districts were not placed in level 3. The Waipa District boundary is about 450 metres west of the Cambridge training track. JJ Flash; the manner in which the South Island has been treated over this whole Covid-19 shambles is deploring in the extreme. I measured it on my atlas; Winton is further from Auckland than Lithuania is from England. It is one terribly sick joke on my southern mates.

Starts 9th Oct 2021 Scooby can you run this one on one comp please Australasian racing only Tips of your choice submitted before 10am each Saturday ..if your tips aren’t up you have half your bank deducted as a losing bet that day One single bet One three legged multi ( straight multi, not any 4 etc…) The last bet is Melbourne Cup day Loser puts a grand over to Tim Vince on MC day From Next Please I'll add another $250 if Leo beats me. Seeing as Race Cafe gets nothing from our competition - I'll randomly pick an RC member who can use the $250 for a bet on the Saturday following M Cup Day. Good Luck guys.Should be fun for everyone to follow and contribute along the way.

I simply like a straight bat. I like facts. So today I hear that the NZ Health Commissioner says that the best time to have the second jab is after 4 weeks. Our leader also fronts and says the same thing. So what about this.....from the horse's mouth, endorsed by Pfizer, and officially reported in their literature, and by a panel of international scientists who have been at this far longer than our idiots... So these bullshitting politicians who we have given the mandate to help us all, spend our money wisely, are now compromising our health potential because they know the infection tsunami is on the way. We've spent our $60b trying to eliminate something that the World was showing us wasn't possible, and now they're asking us to have the second jab before the optimal time for antibodies T -cell structures to proliferate. And all because they didn't get the vaccines in time, didn't put the systems in place in time and haven't got the back up plan (ICU beds and people to run them) in numbers large enough to cope with the potential tsunami. These are the same morons who were in charge of the Racing Act. They've got to go

Blight is spreading

Time Test will no doubt receive his best set of mares in the coming season in the UK, which should underpin further his career you wound think.

Top name, Top Trainer, Top Jockey, Top Owner, Top Draw but will it be a Top Result ? Good Luck

Exactly.... if the vaccine works like they say....their should be no worries or restrictions by our Government or NZTR ??

Many on council have Labour affiliation. All the city MPs + Banks Peninsula are Labour. Selwyn and Waimakariri are National. Not sure this decision is political merely a case of the organisers thinking that Level 2 is not going to change and they are going to be in a huge financial hole if they left the decision any longer. As it is this is a big loss to them financially and I guess they did not want to make it worse.. We can only wait and see what will happen to racing for the week.

Christchurch and Council are Labour dominated aren't they? Time for full disclosures of communications btwn these 'Decision makers". What's going on is Disproportionate. Btw, did any one else hear Marcus Lush on ZB around 8.40pm received a Text from Michael Baker re encouraging the use of use of Marijuana ?

New World orders have been in place for donkeys years, it's nothing new. Read all about it in Papers Past along with Schwab and Gates links from over 100 years ago.

Note the key word is "May"

We shall rephrase your question @Fredd002. has anyone tested positive for Covid who will be in attendance, if not why are those who are Healthy being Disproportionately Disadvantaged and Discriminated against when the Public Health Act , which is the umbrella Act to the Coronavirus Act, is not being adhered to in the Spirit and Intent of the PH & other Laws created? The PHA was created to ensure only those who were unwell or had symptoms stayed at home, not that of those who are fit and healthy and able as has unfortunately happened and should not ever have happened. There needs to be an application made to seek a ruling from HRC stating a 'Declaration of Inconsistency' with the Coronavirus Act. Look up HRC Facts Sheets "Discriminatory Laws." We have put some earlier Case Laws relating to PH and Infectious, and,or Contagious Diseases in other topics. They are there to help learn from and provide avenues we can use as templates. Stand Tall, ask questions, use Legal avenues including acting with others of similar thoughts and go through the Courts and apply for a Judicial Review for Racing in General Terms, along with using pre-existing options and grey areas of laws as a reasonable excuse to strike back under urgency. There are many in the legal fraternity over the years and current who have had interests in Racing and it's times like this we need to band #Together for the Greater Good of Racing and wider needs of everyone's rights to Living Laws are not Black and White contrary to what some may think. Bt, in the UK there's now a like minded group of people who have formed #Together which is also inspirational

It's disgraceful this decision has been made without consulting the Kaikoura Community. It's understood this decision has been primarily made by one person based in Christchurch who has a role with the club who is terrified of their husband and family catching Covid19, despite having the vaccine, "because it's spread down from Auckland and is now in the Taranaki and will be in the South Island in a couple more weeks..." They have said they have followed Government Guidance so have canned the event. Perhaps they should go and get a different job because they are going to be held to account for their decision-making. May I suggest those who would normally attend or partake in any Horse Racing community events speak up how you feel about these decisions and hold these people to account for Failing to Consult with those at the coalface and live in these communities. Also ask for full disclosure of Email and other communications between these people as you have a right to know the background to these decisions and who is not following Rule Of Law, nor acting with the best interests of the wider Racing Communities interests. Contact the Media to as the more who speak up is the only way we will get our Racing back up and running because Mr Grant Robertson is doing ZILCH to assist our industry. Perhaps it's time some in Parliament lost their Warrants. And others were given the sack. Racecourses are wide open spaces where one can Space Out and have Picnics, indeed they are traditional Picnic Spots

Spot on Gruff. To digress.A field I believe you are familiar with. I ventured on to the fairways for a quiet 9 holes yesterday (first time in nearly 4 months) and in the aftermatch, socially-distanced discussion before heading off to "picnic" with friends beyond the eyes of dobbers I was alerted to the fact that there was a guerrilla group at the Club moving to ban the unvaccinated from playing! The word was that a stuffy Auckland Club (with Royal patronage) had already moved towards such a rule. My membership under threat but I will not go quietly.

There’s some interesting and unusual Characters in the Rectum of Racecafe alright Mighty,just relax and go with the flow. We post relevant info and bleed from the soul and you do the Abusing Works for me

I don't think it would be too popular if the Forbury sale was used to support Auckland.

Kaikoura is a holiday destination event which can't be replicated at Addington, irrespective of Covid. As a North Islander, getting to Kaikora is on my "bucket list". In contrast, we used to have an annual pilgrimage down for Cup Week but now don't go as find Cup Day an ordeal for someone keen on the actual racing (battling through the party goers, having to watch the screen as can't see sections of the track, freezing, boiling or buffeted in the open stand all day). Slightly better when an owner - but not much. Much better to save our money and watch from home. We don't really have any harness holiday races up here anymore. So sad as means the general population in the north doesn't get to see harness racing as a fun, family-friendly entertainment (although Cambridge does try at some twilight meetings).

It's called a weather forecast.. the track can change an hour before the race, but bets have to be in by 10am, so not much difference. Also - if fixed odds bets count, I predicted I'm Thunderstruck to firm into around $2.35, so I wanted the earlier price. Furthermore - I'm Thunderstuck has won on good, soft and heavy - so unless Caulfield suddenly becomes a synthetic surface, I think I'll be OK. Thanks for your concerns though.

Don't know why government scientists don't use this technology https://www.healthline.com/health/does-uv-kill-coronavirus#myths-about-uv-light

Lost any faith in the whole set up, no one seems to agree, and goal post get shifted regularly, some countries are apparently giving third doses, as it's not working, no one seems to be singing off the same song sheet, and they wonder why some don't want it.

Happy to.Should be interesting.

And that’s why you can’t read me……your education finished when you failed “colouring in book 101”…..

hey one other thing Gruff, let me know if you have any dreams.... i can help in finding the interpretation of them, it just a gift i have!! Pm if you ever do.. be blessed brother Gruff!!

heres a odd thing that happened with me today, not long after posting the above reply, i posted the Brian Tamaki tweet in the other thread, after doing that i posted it on Gab and started then realising i was becoming too engaged in the discourse of rubbishing Government heads for their ongoing deception toward the people of Manukau, which made me realise... why am i fighting that fight? Its quite a diffucult matter to bring myself away from the politics of the world, and concentrate more on Kingdom duties! im sure Nz will get there rude awakening soon enough!! As for me and my house i will serve the Lord!!

It’s funny you should post this because I am over it and was contemplating hanging up my boots.I was on a job today with a mask wearing pro Covid vaxer and I mentioned at least 60 claimed vaccine deaths and he lost it saying it’s conspiracy theory Doesnt even know there are adverse reactions , let alone a government site that reports them There is NOTHING you can say to a Believer, it’s like talking to a Brick Wall... We know how this ends and it seems nothing more can be done as people are drawn into the fraud with coercion and pressure from Brainwashed Ardenites. It is in the lap of the Gods

To land those choppers full of Auckland Covid refugees!

hahah @Tauhei Notts@JJ Flash@Pickles@tasman man There's always the good ole ask a farmer who you know if you can travel through their paddocks as most of them have gates on both sides and a way out, this was successfully done in the UK, to travel from A TO B. There's also many a private road one can access and it's all above board as legal ways to travel..

How about all those in the South Island write to these Ministers and request answers why we are still under State of Emergency 'precautions'? Why are these precautions still necessary? Is it 'reasonable/ unreasonable" to be in the rabbit hole we all find ourselves still in? Who is receiving kickbacks? Where is the adherence to The Public Health Act and other laws which must be seen to be interpreted and used in a balanced and proportionate manner? Why have whole regions been locked in with their borders instead of individual Households as per the Spirit and Intent of The Public Health Act as it was enacted? Ask questions and put Grant Robertson in the hot seat alongside all Politicians because they have legal obligations including ensuring THEY comply with the LAW. ( Politicians internationally come under much greater scrutiny than ours do from a Criminal/ Bribery Corruption angle, plenty of examples exist in Australia where it's common for Local Mayors and Councillors to get jailed or prosecuted) Now, didn't Grant Robertson's father who was an accountant get jailed for fraud? Did he sign all the loans this Government have taken out? Ask for disclosure of them and see who is ultimately responsible for these decisions. Go door knock and ask questions of them on video and share so we can see and hear what their excuses are. We all have basic fundamental rights to freedoms. Be mindful Professor Shaun Hendy has had a 5 year Gates Foundation grant around August this year to continue his works for The South Pacific Influenza Project which is a continuation of his COVID19 works. Just because there's no cases, possibly due to the different level of Go Hard testing etc in the South Island compared to Auckland, it doesn't mean to say the Health Department won't subject South Islanders and other parts of the country to what Aucklander's have been If we fail to hold them to account now think of what we all may potentially be subjected to for at least another 3 and a half years. Is this what we all want, another prolonged period of this carry on with no end in sight? @tasman man, use those examples and templates of Case Law from years gone by that are tucked away in Papers Past and hold them to account Do remember there was 3 such references to articles/ Reports in the Andrew Borrowdale Judicial Review in relation to this unprecedented situation we all find ourselves in so they do have relevance. ... No idea who sourced those wee gems

I am telling you that You can travel to Cambridge from TeAroha and Thames via Morrinsville and and go nowhere near Hamilton.It's not all of this area in lockdown..I might have been under the desk but you were obviously absent.As the saying goes "dont let the the facts ruin a good story'.

Hi Most of those horses requiring a 2000m (or 1800m) maiden, there will not be many, are probably ex Northerners any way Unfortunately Gore has no starting point between 1335 and 1800m As this is the first race meeting in Southland since when ever the programme meeting group, which does have Southland representation, would have decided 1335m was far enough Gore 24th September has 8 races programmed, I don't think any club has restrictions to only run 7 races. Only lack of horses produces 7 race programmes in SI, if 7 races have been programmed can you advise where and when, thanks.

I rode The General a few times and he was the easiest horse to ride. The owners were real characters, I will tell you a few story's about them. They told me that General had been up and down State Highway that many times, that he knew where the pub was at Waikoloa ,as 1km from the pub the General knew the pub was a short distance away and would start rocking in the float, they would take him off the float and tie him to a gate. This was all good but the boys got another horse called Hasty Simm and they continued with the same practise. Then on one visit, unbeknown to the boys the Publican had got a couple of pigs , both horse were half asleep , then they spotted the pigs and story goes the both horse pulled the gate off its hinges and they say it was liken to a mobile start at the Trots. The General's work was always done by being lead off Bernie's Landrover up down the hills on their farm. Another true story was that they went to Hokitika and the other brother lover playing the piano, he was asked to provide some entertainment, which he was happy to do, the issue was the piano was bordering on the edge of the stage and after the brother had consumed a dozen jugs, the oblivious happened and the piano went tits up of the stage. The brothers were top people who just loved racing, didn't matter if they won or ran last. my memory is fading, but can our resident historian tell me if the General won at Marlbrough? I am going to Paul Richards 60th Birthday tonight at HQ , so will ask him if he rode him
