uneasy

I have seen photo and videos of track and will be very surprised if they race there. Need to organise alternative track which I suggest should be Reefton, can't imagine Omoto could handle 3 days racing so should transfer to Reefton

All the very best to friends, owners, jockeys and punters alike. May the symbolic colours of red and white be to the fore!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR

Hopefully less than we intend winning in the next five years

I beg to differ, our owners and us don't agree that South Island racing is slipping and I guess the $6mill+ we have won in Stakes the 5 years that Matt and I have been training in partnership supports our opinion. Fields here are generally larger and in particular Riccarton, on a decent track, is very good racing for the 23 race days they have. If you have any idea I can't see how a commentator has any effect on your view of racing

If a track is unsafe you can't send horses out to gallop on it, really what are you thinking

Why Wingatui less than 20 horses south of Oamaru, Bulk of horses Timaru and north of. I would imagine Tyler at Oamaru, Blair Eadie at Waimate should go to Ashburton or upgrade Timaru to feature day with rejigged programme IMO Can't look back prefer to be positive and make sure we still have feature meeting

Mate I pounce on applications/enquiries resend tell me how much you want to spend each week I'll find a share to suit you, for sure!!

You're a Bimbo alright!

The Warstep is for 3 yr old fillies over 2000m

How hard is it. No replays on NZTR website of any races run at Riccarton so far today. Trying to watch on the improved $50million plus TAB site can't do that either. Dean McKenzie and your fellow RITA / MAC board I really hope you can improve this business. It certainly needs some professionalism, it's going from bad to worse!!

I am talking about mobile app $50mill lot of money

After spending 50+Mill you had a right to expect something state of the art BUT no we get the current TAB site instead ITS A BLOODY JOKE!!!! jockeys names at Timaru are listed as Ka, Ki, Co, Ma, Jul, Tin, So, etc no barrier draws no wonder turnovers are plummeting Be interesting to know how big the increases in overseas sites have been from NZ punters I know several people who don't bet via tab account any more here

Didn't think could access site at all but can bet not live stream

Is live streaming available today via TAB

I just want to thank everyone who wished us well over the weekend with Enzo's Lad it's an amazing experience having a runner up here in an international race. The owners, Diane, Matty, Brittany and I could not have wished for better in all facets of our trip. Despite EL going in to Sunday's race very well in great order he once again showed his utter dislike for going right handed- he won't race that way again. He was well placed and traveled well to the 600m where he stumbled 2 or 3 times and that was the end. Initially I was very disappointed but after talking with J Mac, The Owners, Diane, Matt and I have made the decision to head to Ascot on 18th and 22 June. This decision is obviously made easy by the substantial incentive provided by Ascot to go there, better than winning a Listed race in NZ, its huge With HK Jockey Club paying our travel to U.K., no matter the outcome it is a great situation to be in and I am sure we will make the most of a week at the home of the sport of kings Ascot. Regarding my own health I'm going great and looking forward to May 23rd when I get "reconnected" . Hopefully I bounce through that operation in good order as I want to be buying at the Gold Coast sales in early June where I bought Enzo's Lad for $A15,000, prior to heading up to Ascot. I am traveling with EL to Mark Todds property in Lambourn tonight. I very much appreciate that we can head there initially where our horse can get a chance to get some grass under his feet and get some grass back through his system

Thanks Tim yes we're going for the upset 3x I think that's what was said re his two Telegraph successes. At least we are here and loving it!!!

I believe Wednesday being a public holiday altered delivery schedules

I would like to add that I found Greg a very good person to deal with, I know he has great passion for this industry I didn't know his full background but does not sound like he has it easy in his personal life which should remain his own business. He was good friends of Jim Campin and his boys who told me to take The Governator, which I raced with Brian Molloy and John Carran, he was one honest horse who loved firm tracks and fronted up really well during a Wellington Cup Week

We are putting together a couple of groups to race some nice youngsters if any like minded individuals are interested please contact me, my email is pitstable@xtra.co.nz Michael and Matt Pitman

Its always been the rule - prior to 7.30 am race morning. No rule change like for like applies if change after 7.30am

I hope the handicapper rates him as highly as those that selected horses for last years sprinter/miler HOTY awards

Right, as per NZTR rating site Open class R100+ There are less than 25

No show Ferrando 16 Sensei 17

Leo is right how could Flying Sardine get a bigger penalty 3 points for winning a mares WFA at Hokitika than Consensus 2 points did for a Group 3 at Trentham That's right South Island horses get harsher penalties

Surely the figures should come from NZRB they run the TAB NZTR doesn't take bets!!
