If I had a drive tonight I would be pulling a sickie lol

Today is one of the worst days weather wise I have ever experienced . Poor horses and drivers

Surely they are not going ahead with the meeting tonight

Was just thinking Iraklis and quite sad . Greg Sugars should have been there to drive him

I am sure there was a strain for quite sometime between them both prior to the split . I doubt either would care now

Totally agree with you and why would she leave the trail to go around a horse she knew full well would take her to the turn . I think it was always about setting up The Coalman to win the race

I saw prior to the race a big bet alert on Mystery Beach . They would be pissed off but it happens all the time can't really help it happening

I was nearly on the stretcher too mate . Just aweful drives . On another note Leap to Fame wow how can they beat him . He is the best I have ever seen and probably won't see another like him in my lifetime

Watched the racing today and what a brilliant ride by Declan Bates on Goldenstatewarrior . He is such an underrated rider

I have to say I hope Mark goes over the drive Oscar B and Rubira . I know Adam is a good driver but those two drives were shockers . If he came out instead of staying in on the corner am sure he would have won . On Rubira he could have dropped 3 back on the fence and looking at the drone could have driven a bus through on the inside of the trailing horse who won . Mark is a big race driver and should be over there

I missed all of this last week but just saw the fields for tonight wow best fields I have seen anywhere for a while . Will be interesting to see how Rubira performs again

I watched Formline and after that I like Green Fly . Good trainers too

Pretty sure he was Katrinas dad someone will know . Noel Gibson also trained . I remember he trained a handy one but can't remember it's name . Knight Express was one he trained that Tommy Knowles drove . Noel Taylor yes he was a very handy trainer . I was good friends with Neil Allen who you will remember . I bumped into Neil about 20 - 25 years ago and he was a Policeman and seemed to be enjoying life

He was Katrina Purdon's dad wasn't he ?

Fact is and we all know it , there is no way out . Auckland will fold . The only suggestion I can make is maybe do an inside track on the main galloping at Pukekohe or race on the grass . There are really no other options
