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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
