I guess kumara were lucky to keep racing, dodgy track that has seen many abandonments since they fiddled with it, poor grandstand and facilities, and out in the middle of nowhere, defies logic, like many of their decisions.

Had a look at the winton gallop track while down that way, looked a nice big roomy track, couldn't help but think what a waste of a good track, also had checked out Wyndham, shame these clubs are losing their identity, an insult to expect them to race elsewhere.

Had a friend who got a pair of meatloaf undies, on the front it said I will do anything for love, and at the back, it had, but i wont do that.

Great to be rewarded on the punt today with the win of speedcall, top run and I was glad I stuck with him, given his last to average runs, quite like the Bamby's as trainers, dont seem to have a big team, not sure what happened to blondalign who won a few races on the trot.

Think he has been nominated for the last 2 years but didnt except either time, third time lucky maybe for the son or raise the flag

Even a stay or dropper. Sum bloody thing.

You will get it back next time maybe, stick to with the ship, I backed queen jetson, she been a wee bit unlucky last few starts and went a tidy trial in open company, thought the div was poor to be fair.

Thought I was on a winner with last chance, but boy it got swamped, did back showshanelle in the race mentioned, nice run and will win one at short notice, she does trace back to gatcome horse that won many a race on a wet tracks. Money was on kusada, but was battling a fair way out.

Agree, great to see the odd meeting, where they still have the riders displayed on the infield board, in saying that can't be many.The punter needs everything at their disposal, instead of everyone huddled around a TV screen.

Think she got placed in an Auckland cup to.

Wouldn't the owners understand the near impossible task she faced, they pay training fees, giving her a gut buster in a good field like that, won't do her any favors.Hope she pulled up ok.

Good on you for giving him every chance to perform, patience is a virtue and zeds have certainly shown plenty for a sire that was sent to serve station hacks for a while, I have a wee interest in a 5yr old to and fingers crossed he can make the races at some stage, to be fair one must celebrate the occasion of just getting one there, so many hurdles along the way.

All the best with him, great that he has time to develop and mature, and having his first start as a 5yr old, most seem in a hurry to get them to the race these days.

Got that wrong,

May have been ampac, with Chris Johnson.,but not totally sure
