It looks like Midget and his good friend P4 are on opposite ends of the seesaw - Midget on the no jab end and P4 who likes to check out the vaccinators credentials

It's disgusting Shsd. Some of the elements in viagra are now being surreptitiously put into tea bags. Apparently does nothing for your sex drive but at least your biscuits don't go soft.

Our local chemist had a break in the other day, all the stocks of viagra were stolen, police are looking for hardened criminals

No doubt a poor drive, but a few observations .... When you invite amateurs to drive in tote races you open up this sort of thing. Why many of us don't bet on them. I could say similar things about amateur jockey races which often see horses making runs wide along way from home etc etc. The pro's often do this sort of thing - seemingly without censure. Inconsistency is an issue even though the RIU dismiss that out of hand. I part owned a horse which set the fastest lead time Mark Mac the commentator could recall. Stopped at the 600 like it was shot (and it was a decent enough animal). Questions of the driver .... no. Apply this approach to all races and drivers and this sort of decision won't strike us all as a bit unusual...

You are welcome Btw, I'm not an anti-vaxer by any stretch of the imagination and am double vaxed myself. I was cautious about the Pfizer vax though and wanted to wait for as much information as possible before going ahead. If you'd called me anti-mandate you might have been closer. Anyway in making the distinction, I was really referring to my hypothesis that you would expect that as vaccination rates increase, the number of detected cases will decline because you are likely to have a large number of infections with little or no symptoms who therefore won't even get tested and therefore never become MoH cases of record. We know from the NZ serology study last year that even then, only about 50% of infections were detected. I suspect that % is much lower now.

Getting a little bit of pasting from the traffic light b/s, they are now doing the deflecting bullshie, STOP THE VIOLENCE, KILL TOBACCO, fix social welfare, save the planet, like they have not plenty of time to address those issues bf covid even happened, BUT all you fuckers still have to do what I say .............. hmmmmm Read an article the other day about what should happen to these tyrannical motherfkrs, when the sheep finally realise, ..... they ALL should be held to account, Cindypoo, labour and ALL those other mfkrs in government who allowed this decimation to happen, including MEDIA and ALL those b/s Health arseholes .... the person writing the article said jail and prosecution, but I say wipe these pos off the face of the earth. There are NO FKN internal BORDERS (or your b/s name swap, Boundaries) in New Zealand. If you don't see the current CONTROL b/s of stopping kids smoking by mandate ! Think about what is next ?

All eyes on Hong Kong this Sunday for the final significant event of the Northern Hemisphere season. The Vase kicks off the series of four Group 1 races. PYLEDRIVER won his prep race at Lingfield but the form of GLORY VASE's second to LOVES ONLY YOU in the QEII Cup back in the spring looks very good now. EBAIYRA hasn't been seen since a disappointing sixth in the Jean Romanet at Deauville but she looks a big price at 14s in the UK if you realise she has some quicker ground form for all her best recent efforts have been on much slower French turf. The Japanese have a very strong hand in the Sprint over 1200m. The 3-y-o PIXIE KNIGHT is the new star having won a big Group 1 at Nakayama and has two decisions over RESISTENCIA. LUCKY PATCH beat NABOO KNIGHT in a Group 2 last time but the local sprinters look to be going through some transition currently and may be vulnerable to the visitors. In the Mile, Europe is represented by MOTHER EARTH who won the 1000 Guineas but that was a long time ago and she was well held in the Breeders Cup. GOLDEN SIXTY is the local champion and is going to take a lot of beating. The Cup over 2000m carries a first prize of £1.6 million and is a serious race. LOVES ONLY YOU was a star in the Breeders Cup and comes here in top form but DUBAI HONOUR has been improving through the autumn and put up a fine effort when second in the Champion Stakes at Ascot. BOLSHOI BALLET hasn't perhaps lived up to the early season promise while it wouldn't be the biggest surprise if MAC SWINEY returned to form. The locals look moderate and the Japanese raider HISHI IGUAZU wasn't beaten far behind the Japan Cup winner CONTRAIL in the Tenno Sho and looks interesting.

Moving on from Viagra jokes which don't stand up to close inspection Final declarations are through for the Saturday meetings. At Cheltenham, the ground is now Good to Soft, Good in places so still on the fast side for the time of year. Just six go in the Grade 2 Albert Bartlett for the staying novice hurdlers. BLAZING KHAL and GELINO BELLO were first and second in a 4000m Grade 2 at the last meeting - the former has to carry a 5 lb penalty for that success by two and a half lengths so you can see why they are closely matched in the betting as there's very little between them. BARONY LEGENDS won a mickey mouse race at Lingfield over 3950m and could be anything but I'm more interested in three time Irish point winner BALLYGRIFINCOTTAGE who has joined the powerful Skelton yard. Seven go in the Unibet Hurdle over 3200m. The softening ground has seen SONG FOR SOMEONE displace SCEAU ROYAL as favourite but the latter ran well on gluey ground at Newcastle and I'm not convinced he will be that inconvenienced. SONG FOR SOMEONE chased home BUZZ at Ascot over 3900m and I just wonder if he'll have the speed for this. Both the front two carry Grade 2 winning penalties but that still gives them an edge over the likes of GUARD YOUR DRAMS and BA::YADAM who look a notch below this class. At Doncaster, the ground is now Good to Soft - the Grade 2 Summit for the 3-y-o hurdlers over 3200m has eight runners. PORTICELLO looked good at Wetherby but I prefer the unbeaten KNIGHT SALUTE who looked very good at Cheltenham - MAGISTRATO was held in fourth. Don't rule out TOO FRIENDLY who did it nicely at Newcastle a fortnight ago. Just three stand in the Grade 2 December Novices Chase over 4800m. THREEUNDERTHRUFIVE is the obvious contender - he's ahead on the ratings and jumped well at Cheltenham last time which augurs well for this track where the fences aren't quite so demanding but can still be trappy.

Are you confusing the "daily infection number" with the daily number of identified cases?

There goverment certainly enjoy playing with peoples emotions and mental health, truths and untruths, one just doesn't know what to believe, they seem to change the rules as they go, thanks for the update and one can only hope they don't keep stringing us along.

She's on fire.... going to make up for lost time. Sarah will win plenty of races during holiday period. Five each way on each of her drives I am sure you would come out well ahead? Go Sarah. Great to have you back.

So still no crowd for the boxing days races in Auckland, or is a change expected, to allow the double penetrated to attend.

And at Palmie yesterday - Blair 5 Sarah 2
