My 2nd bet was about 1967 at Feilding,Tramore,Danny Gower from Stratford trainer,paid 53 an 12 pound.A few races later,Aquarelle,Harold Webby trainer.Thought how easy was this new game.53 yrs later,wished I'd lost my 10 pound.But met some great people.

What monkeys/idiots are now running this RITA.Same monkeys,LESS? peanuts.Fancy a raceday with NO publication of fields to bet on.My local bookseller said he got emails confirming publication to resume,but didn't arrive.I don't know about others,but I'm not interested in Thursdays trackwork,can google it if wanted,nut not many horses do gut busting trackwork 2-3 days b4 racing.Load it with Tuesday trackwork,trials,and judicial reports, the rest to fit in.I buy it to punt,not breeding and tips from some so called tipsters,whom I wouldn't give $10 to punt for me.If you Don't provide the product,how can you expect to succeed.The house was NOT rattled hard enough.

A champ in producing top horses and jockeys.Condolences to all family,RIP Jock.

FFS,Arderns fault???Her deputy is Racing Minister,where the hell is he.Always has an opinion,very very quite lately??

When being interviewed after winning on Moroneys horse today,he was asked when he was going home.He replied,Tuesday.Go home and decide if to move the family over here.Has he been offered a No 1 stable rider for 1 of the bigger stables???

Thanks,I concur with your best wish's.

Can't see Mike McNab anywhere?Is he suspended,injured or retired,thanks.

I see M.McNab starts another 1 week suspension after tomorrow/s racing.He has just returned from near a months suspension,and not the first this season.He is a jockey with immense talent,but being wasted with the times suspended.He seems to be a guy with plenty of confidence,and nothing wrong with that.But I make a similar comparison to someone going to court every couple of months for careless driving.Eventually the court would take his licence for months and tell them to go away an work on your constant offending.Does racing officialdom offer such to continuous offending by jockeys.It just seems a waste of talented jocks,consistently watching on.

Old Mick's a bit of a show pony.What female would hang around with such a self opinionated guy???

1 trainer of police investigation says enquiry will clear him,but other training partner accused of possession of a class B drug.Maybe she forgot that she was supposed to let Tim win this time.Or maybe she thought the $5-60 F/O was juicier in her bag.They both have similar form to these charges.Ban the two for life in NZ.I work hard for my gambling,not to be cheated by others who can't play fairly an win on ones own ability.

NZRB don't know what they are doing themselves.So await more idiotic decisions mastermind.

Thanks gubellini,Kirrima Marlene Todd?

Can anyone advise where Michael McNab an Jason Waddell are lately.I know there normal job is being suspended,but nothing on NZTB.Or they on winter vacation???

I hope not,I hope after the criticism of Peters he pulls the plug on it.Its you complainers who have let NZ racing get run down then moan when 1 man can't give what the greedy want.How many of you's have worked the same job for 40 years,and still fighting as the underdog?Wheres all the smart ass's under 73 putting their hands up???

2 very good blacks back in the days.Game (Bob Quinliven)and Raidan (Jimmy Didham?)
