Typical f***n Labour announcement of an announcement. McAnulty now Transport Minister as well , good luck with our Racing Portfolio

Ummm really ??

It IS really sad to lose another of the colourful characters who helped make Racing the Great Game it is/was. Remembering Nigel rode when there were 20 Group 1 jockeys riding on any given day. And there would be 5 or 6 waiting in the jockeys room while a race was run. You had to fight and cajole your way through the ranks if you wanted to make it. Great N B Holland story, I once said to my hero D J Riordan that Norm was such a lovely gentleman. "Now he is but when we were riding he was an absolute **** Us apprentices would ride a nice horse and Norm would be straight to the Trainer, "O that horse needs a senior rider, and I'm available next start"" Looks like ND survived one of NB's best. Nigel as a trainer will always be remembered for the feats of the tiny gutsy Avitt. The Our Waverley Star story had slipped my mind , that's a story in itself .. Great memories of another character lost

Now 1:10pm

There will never be another Derek and Clive. They have a race commentary but all do yourselves a favour and listen to "The Horn"

Hey Kunty, I have no love or loyalty or sympathy to the NZ TAB but they have NO DEDUCTIONS !!!!FFs , surely that must sway you into betting with them. I, and many friends ,both here and overseas are bamboozled at this ruling. Make hay while the sun shines we all say. Put Arjay's Flight down to the one that got away , but please please please , Savage the TAB re their no deductions !!

Interested in your thoughts Ess Vee Are - Te Rapa - R10 - Jan 19th - 2022

Or 27L or 42L off winner in form line - tuff run ??? FO

SSSSHHHHH , don't tell them. What's the bet we are seeing $25 $30 $40 etc by the end of the year, it would be toooooo easy wouldn't it

Holy fuk , can you read this again ! "proposed' "potential" "total uplift" "racing AND sports" "relative" and what about .... wait for it ... "COUNTERFACTUAL" I smell a rat, I really hope not but we've been chutneyed before so nothing surprises punters anymore. I want it to work I resally do, but Mike Tod , one D, has only been in the job 5 minutes are as some of those other board members and that doesn't sit well with me ...

If you told me the Cup was $100k I wouldn't have batted an eyelid . And that is being generous. Won't be a Group 2 for long either by the look of it

Sharp N Smart took NZ Racing to a new level in the Derby. Imperatriz although run down by late by a top liner did NZ proud. And then MY GOD !!! LEGARTO !!!! I don''t know how many times I've watched the race but that has to be one of the most remarkable performances I've ever seen in a Group 1 in Australia, let alone by a 3yo Kiwi filly. Feeling pretty emotional right now , and what makes it even more so , still have Levante and Tokyo Tycoon to look forward to, amongst others..

Exactly what happened with Trackside , used to be based at Avalon, lost some good people when they moved it to Parnell. For starters should have gone to the Waikato, funny how they ended up in a Nelson Schick owned commercial building in Parnell... eh Chris Bayliss you flog

Even felt it 20 floors up in Auckland...

Can I team up with Col and SMD ?

Think you're right Crusty. Pretty Self became Majestic back in the day , maybe based in Te Rahu Rd, Te Awamutu ? And then Jack Robb owned and trained the mighty Bronze Trail, driven by A J Purdon
