Be happy you got an Aussie , or soon it"ll be like SI Jockey ranks and you'll have a Karunaratane calling.

But he never won a ....... maiden

MJ a little ripper but I think the Rising Star of Spring and the future is Verry Elleegant There you go

Craig Grylls , no managers in Gaz's day

The Chmiels ??

The Mitchell Brothers , did they race Heflu ?

RIP Noel Riordan, Rode over jumps as well , real gentleman , there will be some great stories told this week. Noel's record could have been better too. Miss J Edgar-Jones offered Noel the ride on Sailing Home but he already had a ride so he suggested brother John who went on to win an Akld Cup and the big International race at Te Rapa amongst many others

Awesome Comp , love the upcoming nums , your hard work really is appreciated !!

Great Guy , Great Form Analyst

ENTRY THREAD : ENJOY BLETCHINGLY STAKES DAY IN WINTER : INDIVIDUAL POINTS COMP: SATURDAY 27 JULY : ALL WELCOME ! We will be winter road tripping through Otaki, Rotorua, Rosehill and Caulfield ! Please read the rules and note that the comp closes at 2.30pm on Saturday and scratching replacements can be posted up until 2.30pm. After that only late scratchings will revert to the TAB sub Please read the Rules: 1. Post two selections for each race on the Schedule. You can post the number and the name but I will only take note of the number. If the number of the horse and name of the horse are different, I will go with the number. 2. You will be awarded 5 points for each winning selection. There are no points for finishing second or third. 3. You will be awarded an additional 10 points if your two selections in the race finish first and second (ie. get the Quinella). 4. You have two Best Bets to use. You can use a Best Bet on any race but you cannot use your two BBs on the same race. If you use a Best Bet, any points earned will be doubled. For example if you win and use a BB you get 10 points or if you win and get the Quinella, you can earn 30 points. 5. You can post selections up until 2.30pm, 29 minutes before the scheduled start time of the first comp race. 6. NOTE: You can post scratching replacements up until 2.30pm.

If there is a draw on points at the end of the day, it will be a countback on winners, then quinellas, then BB winners, then BB quinellas. If still the same then you share the accolades 8.

Pretty quick to ditch the R82 1400 on Saturday at Rotorua , started with 7 noms , surely that's enough to run a race ??? $30,000 Stake , hopefully that will be spread over the remaining 9 races. Hohoho, Yeah Right Or did they not even have the $30k to start with ........

Um , playing each off against each other bit harsh, no problem whatsoever with either as callers. Different callers and different calls, never saw that as a problem

Ray Fletcher , Red colours with a black and white sash ??? R S Fletcher Una Anso didn't drive a horse called Red Achillies did she, also did I hear Una was still alive not too long ago ??

Charlie is keen Thanks

Just checking, wondered why I wasn't seeing any posts on this forum for about a week , all good

Asking for a friend

Joseph, Jones and Jones , aren't they one of the leading stables in the State. Won't be backing any of theirs in the future

Mike used to help out Cliff Wilson with all the Noble and Country prefixed horses. Great bloke Mike , you're right Woodsy , genuine down to earth bloke , and Cliff a top bloke as well !!

Hats off to Jason Teaz calling the greyhound meeting on Tues , only hours out from finding out his Dad had just passed away. Hercurlean effort. Basil was a real character and I stand to be corrected but I reckon every horse Basil and Helen took to the races was a winner. RIP Basil

Isn't is akin to having to have 1 x LBGTQB on the board , that'll be next

Couldn't bet live into AFL for duration of game yesterday , I know not earth shattering but add in my $100 I would have lost cold ....

Needs a truck sized super sucker to vacuum up the sand , Sam Collett was right , it was horrendous

Don't let J A see that photo , might be his next $50 million + debacle
