    Maybe Donald wants to takeover Russia as well, nothing would surprise me.

    Not many at Taranaki either, with hardly any Canterbury horses travelling south to Southland one wonders if 2 days could be reinvented at Blenhiem over this weekend,  never a problem for the Canterbury harness guys going to Blenhiem so why not the other code, for 2 days you would more than likely attract one or two large teams from the other side of Cook Strait.

    One wonders how many noms for Hawera.
    Guy talking to Greg O Connor on radio last week was talking about trying to get some summer grass racing circuits for summer 2026, in discussions with one or two gallop clubs, looks like the best they could do these days is 5 ir 6 races.

    More than likely Winnie will put on his flash suit and be at Ellersle today and will be welcomed by a tribe of flash suit wearers who will be pissing in his pocket , just keeping on good terms so they can get the TAB monopoly law through and  then get all this extra cash to further their own ambitions

    Not many southerners going to Alexandra Park but what ones would have a realistic chance , fields are probably as good as they can hope for.

    I don't watch Trackside often and don't watch the dogs but have any of the greyhound commentators said anything scathing about the banning or are they being muzzled  by Entain ?

    I was being a bit sarcastic before inferring that free entry would see the place packed out, women's cricket the other day they were giving free entry, had stated that they would get the biggest crowd ever, yet seemed like not many turned up

    mikenz got a reaction from Iraklis in Auckland Cup . Allstars to bounce back.   
    Only race i watched, in reality the fields were as good as can be expected, As a visual spectacle the shadows I thought made it a hard watch, no one else think the same ?

    For some reason not only does Taranaki have poor fields every Xmas but they get 2 days of it, one wonders why.

    Gèe reading that it looks a bit fucked up re Cricket, one day games probably smarter than test, 3 4 or 5 clear days, risky, imagine playing at Napier, pissing down.
    Anyway it is what it is.

    Looks like Westport has the best weather of anyone in the country for today and Saturday, not uncommon for wet weather for many places over  NZ at Xmas, take note.
    I guess the diet of hit and giggle cricket for the next week or two probably makes sense too.

    Gruff all the last few days has proved is their are so many contradictions and so much hypocrisy, why Luxons mob want to ban Greyhound racing but resume live exports is one example but the farmers who voted Nats want things their way, why anyone who likes their animals would send them to China is mind boggling,  getting back to the question, Greyhound racing I'm neither for nor against but, many people are into them that's fine but singling them out solely, that's weird.
    It's also highlighted the large number who oppose gambling and horse racing and does raise issues as to when it comes closer under the spotlight, it's definatly a changing world
    Maybe this time I'm done on the subject 😢 not much I say will change things anyway.

    I've never been interested in dogs, changing times will still bring the horse codes in to focus for many.
