I agree. I bet he's another useless.northern toss pot trying to tell us how to do things.

Get rid of some of these under utilised northern meetings, and give one back to Waimate

Great opportunities here in the South for new trainers and owners. Good horse numbers, some fine under utilised tracks, areas of significant population growth, to name several. The place to be.

With Waimate gone, and Kurow and omakau scheduled to go, the "don't touch Waikouaiti" is interesting.

Waikouaiti....or whack a white as Kevin Payne used to say.

It's a dual code meeting on Otago anniversary day. There are good strong horse numbers in the South, particularly in harness. But I agree entirely the whole programming of both codes needs to looked at. We go from the feast of five gallops meetings in 9 days over the holidays to the relative famine now.

I notice that Tim Van Der Molen from the Waikato is on the committee. Is he active in any branch of the industry?

35 going around in trials at Oamaru today. Good to see.

Sorry to show my ignorance, but Michael House's name keeps coming up. Is he a significant player here?

I still remember Alexander Fieldes and his effort to pronounce "Titian".....ended up as Titty Anne.

If they want more people to watch it, try putting trackside on Freeview.

So easy for people to come on here and attack race callers. It's a difficult job and well done to them . Time to move on.

Well done, Mr Moderator.

Agree 100 % Racing doesn't need this.

There is more to the South Island than Riccarton.... thankfully.
