Kingshill

I was yakking to a mate the other day and were talking about Sir Slick - and both wondered if he is still alive and kicking? enjoying his well earned retirement.

I watched the Michael Walker "Off the track" Documentary's over the weekend - It showed a replay of Smiling like winning the Wellington cup in the year 2000 - Infield was PACKED with cars and patrons and really shocked me how much has changed in the last 19 years......

Ocean Park looking more attractive, with his run of form and with his fee down to a "working mans" fee.

Hehehe....The poor bloke was lost for words I think Could see early on they had polar opposite personalities.......Good on them for taking the punt though, going on TV for all of Oz and NZ too see.

Do you mean Mark McNamara? If so I agree with you - Smooth delivery and accurate and can throw in the odd quick bit of humour

Worked great Thanks Huey.

Keen to watch the recent show filmed at LA Stud - Featuring Per Incanto and Time Test - It has aired in Oz but not sure if it has here in NZ yet? Hoping someone has a link or can download it to Youtube? Thanks

Yes - That's him....Mitch Harris - Very knowledgeable and a entertaining host - was sad to hear he was leaving, used to listen too him on my way home from work at 11pm. Big Tony Amos very good as you say

I Don't mind Peter Williams - enjoy listening to him, although there was nothing wrong with Mark Sainsbury. Also like listening to Sean Plunkett and Ryan Bridge. I do miss the guy who used to be on until midnight over the last few years - Name escapes me now.

Westbury Stud Fees - 2019 Reliable man $15K - Down from $17.5K Tarzino - Unchanged at $15K Swiss Ace $10K - Down from $12K? Redwood - Unchanged at $10K El Roca - $9K - Up from $7.5K Telperion - Unchanged at $5K Surprised that El Roca has jumped up on the back of only 2 stakes placegetters - Still early days for him though.

Westbury Stud have released the fees for their 2019 stallion line-up with Reliable Man and Tarzino heading the roster at $15,000 + GST. Reliable Man has sired several stakes winners over the past twelve months headed by his daughter Sentimental Miss winning the Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m) and Belle du Nord winning the Gr. 2 Cal Isuzu Stakes (1600m). His season looks far from over with the likes of Grinzinger Star, Nobu and Trusty Lad all aiming at Australian Group One features in the next few months. Dual Australian Group One winner Tarzino is entering his third year at stud after receiving strong support in his first two years serving 124 mares in his first season and 133 mares in 2018. Redwood and Swiss Ace will stand at $10,000 + GST, with El Roca and Telperion rounding out the roster at $9,000 + GST and $5,000 + GST respectively.

Ace confidante Secret Ace Tennis Anyone Good bit of fun

I was thinking the same thing - Usually they are all announced by now. Good to see Waikato bring Ocean Park and Sacred Falls down to a "Working man's" fee.

Shutdown Awapuni, Manawatu Raceway (Trots/greyhounds) and Trentham (Both getting swallowed up by housing) and start from scratch with a "Mega venue" at Foxton. Better surface/drainage and on State highway 1.

Good win Ran well last start for 5th without much luck and forgot to back her yesterday due to work commitments - Murphys Law she comes in
