  1. If I am a young junior driver with single figure wins on the board, I am offering my services to make the move. With the new half-points concessions for JD's with less than 50 wins, these drivers are invaluable. Look at the opportunities Harry Orange and Monika Ranger are getting up here.
  2. I can't imagine Hawera will keep those dates. Likewise Otaki. A rejig is required and that includes not programming Cambridge or Auckland in the same week.
  3. Won't happen. The Te Awamutu course no longer has a liquor license. I believe the above poster is right about Tauranga being ushered out by the gallops which struck me as unusual because I am fairly sure the trotting club has a stake or at least entitlements to the track and could have raced there rent-free once they merged with Cambridge. Thames was the favourite for a return in the last few years but it's seriously in a state of disrepair. The television cabling all got ripped up, the barn suffered a fire, the track is grown over and unkempt and there are cows grazing all over it. In its favour is a passionate local committee and a general willingness from the powers that be to run a summer series there. The latest chatter though is a return to racing on the grass at Ruakaka, which has a hugely popular January gallops date that gets very small numbers. It used to be a dual code before the Northland HRC got bullied out of its date by Auckland and was wound up. The Horseman's Association is definitely pushing for either that early January date or a two-day meeting perhaps later in January.
  4. Was she? By what metric do you make that claim? She’s been doing some painfully tredious and irrelevant interviews for Addington’s Facebook page lately.
  5. Inaccurate, Shane. Unless you are Hugh Robinson in disguise and this is something you haven’t yet relayed to Raceform’s owners?
  6. He’s not.
  7. Excuse the above Mikie.... left my phone on the page at the pub when I went to the loo and a “mate” thought it would be funny to post something. Apologies
  8. Mikie. shut up you niller. cheers baz
  9. Seriously, it’s so galling and insulting that McKenzie would keep publically chalking all this up to Covid. Like we are numbskulls. Give us a spell Dean.
  10. 300 horses nominated for Addington trials..
  11. Don’t forget Wahid relegated from 1st in the Horse of the Year voting too. What a controversy that was.
  12. The Informant sourced its fields in its well-liked form guides from Pagemasters in Australia. That was because the TAB refused to provide them. Makes good sense right? Refuse to provide something that would only aid your business?
  13. The TAB don’t contribute any money to Race Form and plans were already underway to streamline form guide access. I’ll back Insider on this.
