Thanks for the correction. It does not matter Mr Jillings was a genius at his trade .

Great trainer. OLD SON,THE GENTRY,PERHAPS and many more. A true gentleman.

I think the PROMO'S should be on our own racing in N.Z. FFS.

No. Over the years there has been a few closed and never reopened. The end is near when we run out of tracks to race on.

Some good horses mentioned.

Yes! a very good central districts jockey. At a guess he might of rode Kings Romance. He was always on a open handicapper.

How are the meth heads getting on up north? Greyhounds, standardbreds What else politicins?

A senseless thing to write.

Peter Wilson had a daughter that rode for while. Susan ?

Yes he did have Power Chief. I thought Jim Gibbs had the horse for a while. The boom times of n.z racing.

Craig once worked for the Crawfords in Matamata. Well I think he did ?? Then track attendant on the local course.

An embarrassment for everybody concerned. It has happened before ,on other tracks, and it will happen again. No wonder the industry is in a bad state. No jockeys and no owners and the ranks of reputable trainers are thin.

A sad day. A good man Mr R.C Lang. Greart rider "STRAIGHT BACK". I was on course' "Te Awamutu" when he won on Battle Heights fresh up over a sprint distance. A true gentleman.

In the Cambridge area of the Waikato there is the The Oaks Stud.

Why no results for Saturdays Cox plate meeting on the tab website?

The state of n.z racing is in a sad situation. Class of horses going around, lack of Quality riders and poor leadership. I can remember, this was a mid week meeting1970s, drew excellent fields. Duty Free , Black Rod, Fort Hagen etc. The public has lost interest in racing. Because of the cost of living or other ways of gambling. No Free To Air coverage.

What is new? Cancellations of race meetings ,North and South, happen every year. Ofisa Collins will win the mayrol race for Auckland. This race will not be cancelled.

The statement made in your last sentence is of value for the young person involved .At the end of the day it is up to him.

I think your dreaming because the clubs fail to attract punters on course during the daylight hours. The more I read your entry the more I shack my head.

Do you know the present owners?

Yes! Always took time to say a simple Hello. Mr McKee the same which flowed on to Stick.

Palliser! Refer to my last entry... Cameron can get a truck driving job. Do not feel sorry for him. He had left the racing industry and only just returned , he has plenty of time to sort himself out.

The industry is short of many things Quality trainers, jockeys, OWNERS , and leadership. NEVER TRUST A POLITICIAN.

Just another pretender. Agree with Chris wood. Never trust a politician.

Auckland is a over crowded mess. No mayor can improve the congested roads and ram raids and drive by gun crimes. From Lusty Len to Pretender Phil Goff where has Auckland gone? My prediction is that Efeso will win and Auckland will keep on Stumbling on. Not a super city by any stretch of a persons imagination.
