Condolences to your family Cubes, will not forget the day we had the pleasure to meet you both, the kindness and generosity shown to host us on cup day,

Its called biting the hand that feeds you, been very good at it for so long.

What will they save on next, race books.

Very competitive game over there.

How often are the polls accurate, thats what they will be hoping.

What a tough horse he was, must have won quite a few races, someone told me his owner has a pie shop now, miles better pies.

Holiday xmas racing dates seem to be the best racing turnover days, weather permitting, looking at the Westport trotting club turnover, but there figures for the March meetings are a struggle, looks like they may have lost their date for the upcoming meeting in March.

Better get your order in for the weather there, with not a drop of rain, if its heavy rain they will be off again, and it's fine with a light shower be off as well, not much room for error there, just checkout how many abandonments since the track revamp.

Coast already lost hokitika, pleased the rest have survived the cull for now, although not a big fan of kumara, track be the worst of the three, facilities very poor, but some love the place, haven't attended for some years, since their first abandoned meeting after the major track revamp, history will tell us certainly wasn't a success.

Just a fallacy, apparently.

Won't be much left to shut shortly, maybe someone to turn off the light.

And thats just rugby, eye opener for sure.

Yep to be fair its everywhere, no escaping it, whether it be rugby racing or any other industry.

Long gone are the days where everything in racing was run voluntarily, these days everyone is paid, from the very over the top, to the attendant on the birdcage gate.

Raise the flags to the fore,
