  1. Not the first time either at Riccarton
  2. Sorry to hear Paul passed away overnight. I didn't know Paul well but he was great support during my time as President of South Canterbury racing. Condolences to his family.
  3. I note also it will be free to air - Aussie can do it, why not here or would it mean reducing salaries to cut costs
  4. So not that big then, thank you
  5. What was the big announcement at 8am this morning that i missed and can't see on media or NZTR sites?
  6. One of the better grass tracks in the SI and would have been a tragedy to loose
  7. Weather forcasting is the only job i know of that can get things wrong 360 days of the year and still retain their hugh salaries
  8. Congratulations Sam, very much deserved
  9. A while ago someone had away to view the videos, is it still possible to do as can't watch through the site. I also note a year or so ago NZ Post had to pay NZ Super fund and ACC back funds for there buy in to Kiwibank because Mr Allans big new computer system didn't perform after spending in excess of $100m. Same people involved in TAB creation - same results
  10. Do we really need another $1m race, could this money not be better spent in the lower grades to try and keep people in the game with a better return. I know that maidens has been increased but maybe we could add some more 2000 + races to keep stayers etc as that is what we breed best
  11. Does anyone know what has happened to him, note he is no longer on Windsors list
  12. Pity main stream media (channel 3, didn't see 1) didn't report on the race
  13. Ran in the Brighthill Concord on 21st Jan, finished 10th
  14. With the abandonments, reduced money for next season is anyone really surprised local trainers are spending less, owners are not bottemless pits
  15. They should be postponed, not only because of the weather but i see that Sir Patricks funeral is at 11 on Wednesday and i am sure a few owners and trainers will want to go
  16. Very big and sad loss, i was lucky to have met Sir P when working on the Phar Lap statue project, he was very generous with his time, advice and donations. Condolences to the family
  17. Definition of insanity, keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result
  18. Latest in ODT states the horses only have minor injuries and 2 taken to hospital, hopefully a speedy recovery for all
  19. I hope horses and people are not to badly hurt and hope its not a trainer coming back from Wingatui.
  20. I don't see the point of closing Timaru as there are no land assets that can be sold as it is equestrian reserve, better off developing as it has good consistant surface, better than many in the SI
  21. We wouldn't have any jockeys for prem days if this was introduced
  22. Only job i know of that you can get it wrong 360 days of the year and still retain it
  23. There is no consistancy and it depends on who the jockey and trainer are
  24. Phar Laps sire Night Raid was bay
  25. The filly is a nice mover and on type is probably the best the mare has produced and is ahead of were the others in the family were at the same stage. It is a family that takes time, shouldn't be raced before autumn of there 3 yr old season
