  1. Too true - but Bossy and Ocean Park won, and that should be the bottom line! Do ya think Gary will be giving GB the flick after that performance? Don't think so! OK, we all remember KINGSTON TOWN in the Melbourne Cup, and VEANDERCROSS in the Caulfield Cup - those times the rider was crudified and deemed Donk of The Year just about But that's not the case today in this case, so well done to Gary and the team, including one of the best riders in Australasia!!!
  2. WTF for? She doesn't owe anyone anything. She has done her time, good on her for giving it another go
  3. I wasn't going to, but...... Could someone please inform those on Trackside that there are no such words as: PREFORM and PREFORMANCE The words are PERFORM and PERFORMANCE I know it's only a little thing, but it does make those who say these words incorrectly sound like uneducated dolts
  4. Surprised y'all dint have a go at the Quaddie in Sydney. Isn't it guaranteed a million today? Good luck with your bets today though, looks like a good spread
  5. zzz The problem, if I remember correctly, is that the weights are declared after nominations close, as long as there are at least 12 noms for a race? So, once noms close, at midday on nom day (or it was when I last took noms) the handicappers work out the weights according to who/what had been nominated There is (was) no provision to re-handicap a race to take into account who/what may have been withdrawn, although if there was no horse left with a minimum of 57kg (is it 58kg now?) then the entire field left must have their weights raised to give the minimum top weight
  6. If there are idiots backing horses at a meeting 18 hours out then they deserve all they get...
  7. If there are opinions then these cannot be facts can they? I remember in the "olden days" when the comments peoples were not actually afraid to state things like: "can't win" or "won't win" They even used to use comments like "will win" But everything is so P.C. now......
  8. It's the product that needs improving, not the window dressing I don't watch The First Call or The Harness Box Seat, they just don't interest me Saying that, I did actually see some of The First Call last week - I happened to have my TV on 36 whilst I was catching up on internet news from about the globe. It was the same thing I used to see when I was involved with Racing - and I've been out of it for over three years now Racing seems to have headed downward in these last three years. It was still free racing when I worked in the Racing Bureau, and minimum stakes were $6K, and the bottom rating for a horse was 50 and it was fairly simple to understand ratings of horses Now, I don't really care. I love punting but NZ racing is not attractive enough for me. I prefer to play poker, and in three weeks I am going to Gold Coast with a few thousand in my pocket. Jupiter's Casino is very attractive, but racing, nah, not for me any more. I just don't enjoy it like I used to But Melbourne in the Spring is still something to look forward to. And perhaps our better horses will be heading there, and the best of the poor lot let behind will be racing here for crap stakes, which leads to crap racing. Yeah, perhaps that makes them better to punt on, but not for me But good luck to you if you're still willing to back NZ racing, and if you enjoy punting on NZ racing, whether backing a winner or two, or not, all power to you, and all the best!
  9. Place I used to work in had 8 racebooks each Monday. Almost ALWAYS had 8 returns, and the once I remember not returning 8 was when there were 7 To me no-one was interested...
  10. For farkz ache - somebody please teach Frodie the meaning of grammar
  11. Are you aware of something impending or are you just stirring the shit around?
  12. Very nice indeed @ $40.10 & $9.70
