  1. Don't know if it would make any difference to a mid week meeting turnover, but agree with you on the trial videos not being up yet.
  2. A blast from the past, what good horse he was.
  3. Bloody shame owners can't even get to the stable to put the winning polish on or help gear up.
  4. Another thing that annoys is why don't the put owners names in when showing the results on screen in repay highlights, they show the trainer jockey breeding, why not the owners, are they not important.I think thats poor.
  5. Oh don't worry half the time they don't do them at some tracks, don't bother to go up the straight and gallop past the spectators, many times i have seen them head to the barriers in opposition direction or up the shute and no where near the punters, a bloody disgrace in my book and been happening for years, mostly at the small meetings. Stipes or jockeys don't seem to care.Should be compulsory. Always used to be.
  6. Just wondering do you think all it would make that much difference if you were in the go racing promotion, i reckon the free entry, a bigger draw card in my opinion, but see your point, when your paying the same levies.
  7. She certainly left some super progeny, never got the kudos she deserved, she stuck in my head after her win at greymouth i think it was, make sure ya keep a flower on her grave, not many leave progeny of her calibre.
  8. Only results in press today, very poor indeed, its a credit to club,supporting owners, trainers, that Blenheim are still racing, given nelson and westport have been defunct for so many year's now, without the myers runners, they may suffer the same fete.
  9. I think i remember Egyptian Queen winning a race at greymouth, was trained by Mr Collins.
  10. Top effort, were would the smaller clubs be without his support, be lucky even to have enough horses to run a meeting.

    Yep can't get on, bloody good saved me a fortune, always an up side.
  12. Sires are certainty here today gone tomorrow, if they don't produce early winners in comes the next up an coming, shame as some of them are fine and produce winners, just not early enough.
  13. Thanks for that, are you heading to the sales, reckon there will be some bargins, lots of them on gavel, poor breeders are struggling the way things are.
  14. Don't worry ohokaman, ya got Riccarton to look forward to on Saturday, Whats your track prediction, and hows the weather.
  15. Another tony on the come back, who next.
  16. What an example of dedication, longevity and professionalism Robbie Hanam is, always smiling and happy when interviewed and has a great sense of humour.Congratulations to him, and hope many more winners to come.
  17. Agree with that comment, all her races have been tough ones, watched son of zac yesterday at riccarton trying for 3 in a row, went a nice race, but a tough ask given rise in class and only a maiden to starts ago, guess its always the temptation to back up and keep winning, but sometimes the patience game the best plan.
  18. Wonder wether a hard race first up flattened her, never seemed to be the same after that.
  19. Their record speaks for its self, good to see our horses excel over there, top riding by bowman in different circumstances, but he is an ultimate professional, what do our jockeys charge for a ride, and what the percentage do they receive.

    My point being would they hand up to any other runner in the race.

    Derby

    Don't see them park to many of there stable runners, when in front.
  22. Shad

    Derby

    Certainly worked out well for the top two home, both driven to perfection.

    Derby

    Top run the winner, gave the machete every chance to beat him.
  24. Guess it is what it is, some will handle and some won't, can't do much about the weather. If you can back a few winners you won't be worried.
