SOUTHS vs MELBOURNE NTH Q vs CRONULLA MANLY vs SYDNEY NEWCASTLE vs CANTERBURY BRING IT ON ... Picks: MELBOURNE to beat Souths, they may even stomp them (13 +) ! Side bet: Chambers to get a try maybe two !! CRONULLA to upset the Cowboys ! ROOSTERS to beat Manly (though I would rather a different result) and who cares about the Knights and Dogs ..

then should the horse have ran ? No idea what T is,

Auckland R. 2 GINGA NINJA

Barbara: Puissance de Lune

Have to ask, why would anyone try and save 500 dollars against a live foal ?

as you were ...

I'll bow to your esteemed judgement ...

Moi: race 1 Hastings ... VON KRUMM

The missus (Barb) would like to play if that's ok, shouldn't take long (horse with longest tail variety) or take forever and have 8 points ... Barb: Its a Dundeal ... she thinks that's a odd name for a racehorse.

right gonna be a big rush tomorrow, cars bikes, yada yada So my picks are XANADU and FLEUR d LUNE for the trifecta, 1st, 2nd, 3rd anchors. Others to throw in, FINAL TOUCH, SURVIVED and the THUNDERBIRD (up n comer)

Gawd ain't FULL of SPIRIT one of those unlucky ones, could easy have had another 3-4 wins ... Not up too some of the others on Saturday, but definitely in my place book for the rest of season ..

Big ups, how anybody could kill dolphins or especially whales is simply beyond my reasoning.

Congratulations from de Cat .....

finally sorted ... and yes, the first of the day, the 3yo race, certainly looks a good one. Strange I don't have a favourite one, out of them ! In the Makfi, I think Nashville is a bit short and I am just going to check on Full of Spirits racing record ...

STILL can't find any odds for Saturdays race ...

at least 17 had a close call .....

Nah, its the principle ... and anything open to abuse ... will be abused for sure.

I agree with Shek, the odds that illegal enterprises will expand their corrupt practices is a certainty. It was in my opinion, the worst move ever made in this industry, when they allowed this to be legit.

Yes, Thunderbird One will be an interesting runner ... and yeah there is a sense of continuity in these races over the years, with certain horses racing well in all three, whether top class or not and I bet there is even a few that ran close in all three races but didn't place, need all the photo finishes for that, (too much work at mo). My thoughts at the moment are Xanadu and Fleur d L should be in your trifectas, and even though the records suggest Mufhasa being in there somewhere, I think he is a little long in the tooth and too short in the market (not counting that other strife). Topic will updated when the fields sorted out.

Sydney ... R 6 TOYDINI

Sounds like bullsh*te to me, no way would land be promised or allowed by other tribes to such a small visitor, especially in a very prominent site. but then again Ngati Whatua's claim to any of Auckland is mostly bullsh*t as well.
