    Bowman has been given 8 days at Auckland today. I think he already has a suspension from last week to serve so unless he can be successful with an appeal a new rider will be needed when Winx steps out mid February. The likely candidates will be ??

    Hugh has been quoted that he will not appeal so new rider will need to be found

    Has Liz gone? I don't watch trackside all the time so didn't know that. That is a pity, I thought she was a star. I rated her the best presenter they had. The female Luke Radich. What happened? Did she get the boot or leave for something better?

    decided while she was still young to travel. Must say Dogzone has been cringe material since she has left.

    It came to my notice that a past greyhound trainer, Edith Kern, had died recently. 

    Edith became well known through the deeds of her very good greyhound, McKern, who was a son of Wendy's Legend x Pandalola. McKern was beaten a nose by another very smart dog in Cool Tee Jay in a Wellington Cup and Edith also campaigned McKern in Australia.

    Later Edith joined forces with Owen Marron and this was a formidable combination, enjoying  considerable success particularly at Hutt Park, on the grass track at Palmerston North, and at the Solway racecourse. Indeed, for a time, Masterton was very much the centre of greyhound racing in the Central Districts. 

    As the tracks mentioned came to be closed down, or reconstructed in the case of Palmy, so the Kern/Marron names came to be seen less often among the trainers' lists until they slipped out of the greyhound game completely.

    Edith Kern was an admirable member of the greyhound community and will be well remembered by those who were also part of the sport at that same time.

    Yes I was saddened to hear when I was advised as well. Unfortunately had been battling illness for awhile so in a better place now. We started training dogs in the Solway days(actually trained my first winner there :D) and Edith was always a cheerful lady happy to help us out. My thoughts are with Owen in this tough time.

    And they showed the first four turnover in a three horse race!

    Would it have anything to do with early betting as yesterday there was 4 so FF would of been an option then TAB doesn't refund until after the race. The later pisses me off more they don't refund until after race on presales so can't reinvest

    Cheers guys. We get a lot of help from a lot of different people to whom we are grateful.  Happy racing. Jared.

    It is awesome to see you get success as good blokes ( and lovely ladies as cant forget Denise who does all the work :P) deserve all the success with the hard work put in. It makes the early morning wake ups and pooper scoopers worth it.
