Yes - hard to believe that he still has a job with NZRB......with all the cost blowouts and Bullshit spun

Does John Allen still have a job come Monday? Surely RITA take the reins leaving John twiddling his thumbs......

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.

Yes - Well done, Gutsy win....TAB account was down to it's last $5, but now got plenty of $$$ to play with on Saturday

One of his fillies - Embrace Me - has a shot at Group 1 glory in The William Reid stakes tonight at Moonee Valley. Will be a tough ask against top filly Sunlight - but funny things happen at Moonee Valley with the tight turning track.

Yes, I heard this rumor from a good source last week..... with this and the cost overuuns on the new website.... what a disaster. John Allen needs to go, surely he can't talk his way out of this one.

Hey, Hey easy on bagging the Nissan Leaf's there mate The best car I have owned

Good old "Smiling Assassin" John Key - He used to be all smiles and bulls..t when opening the Yearling sales when prime Minister.

Hello All - Just putting a syndicate together for a Yearling - Lease with a Right of Purchase - After some thoughts from Cafers with some possible things to include in the lease conditions - Things like voting majority for any major decisions (Was thinking 55 or 60%), clauses around non payment (how long do you give someone to catch up payments before kicking them out?) etc. Maybe something I haven't thought of? Thanks in Advance

Cup winner was actually a CD horse - Trained in Bulls? by Bryce Newman.

Yeah, I was surprised he said she didn't handle the track, since the Railway was run on a Good 3 from memory? No doubt she'll keep for another day.

Yes - agree with Elvis....Steve Davis the best by far.
