What a shayme !

And Ellis has bought 7 Karaka Million winners. He is buying the wrong ones? Dont quote us Gingernuts

GREEN PARTY CONFERANCE

No I dont and I read some of that piece but that guy wouid be fishing in a very foreign pond. You would have to know that a tyre kicker would be advised to be a follower and get involved with an expert trainer. Also one good enough to realise the potential of the animal. Then does the trainer have the ability to run a campaign offshore. Theres type and family traits of the horse and many other factors an expert would weigh up. Its just part of the game of life. Play the odds as best you can. I do OK

Once I bought into a three fillies syndicate all cheapies bought by a very good trainer. None of them were any good or rather didnt want to try. All were given away. Now I think it May be better to go for a smaller share of one much more expensive. If a filly there will be some residual value if well enough bred

Torchy I think Petel might be a woman. if so and you think you can get in the last word, thats delusional.

Little meeting - then it will be "short poppies" eh?

If you had been a country kid you would know that new grass can get skiddy when wet. It will settle down when the shine goes off it. It may need the height reduced before raceday. A thing Ellerslie needs to wind back a bit is the Party Party. I'm no wowser but focusing on the "animals" stuffing themselves is not a great sight. Didnt see one with a racebook in hand.

Went to Downloads and it works

The reason for Strathayr is Uniformity in any mode. I have walked out on the track after jump outs and all you can see is some bruised grass and no indents. The rail was out 7 metres the other day

Dumbest POTY so far

My reservation would be the NZTR involvement as they have a great propensity to lose money. Lets hope they are just the figurehead. But in the first instance it will be ENTAIN and Ellerslie ATR show. It will be like going to the zoo to see the elephant!

i'll beat Gubes to it----- Fountaincourt by Pass the Bottle !978 106 starts 16 wins - 10 seconds - 10 thirds - 14 fourths - 9 fifths. Last race 1988. Over 500K. He was loved!

Onya H Horse !!

And years ago I wrote a story of a 32yo TB Patsy looked after.. Cant reacall his name

Or get Cherry to write it.

Silly topic! Why not just give credit for these guys fronting up and doing a difficult job to the best of their abilities. Have you ever heard the truism, "Comparisons are odious"

Good news to see them back

Us Millers are entitled to have our name spelt right. It came from the German Muller changed over 100 years ago. Riveting info eh?

Can I head off Miss Jools and say it is MillEr

Its a dead end road Prices Road and feeds onto the airport access road where the traffic is diabaolical .And ATR have got plans for Pukekohe to make it a training centre. Far more practical. I could tell you a dozen "spec" stories. eg I once bought 17 sections in salubrious Howick for 10k down and 2 years free of interest. The holding costs these days take the fun out of that sort of a play now

They will get the rides back when the "guns" leave town. Special favours like slings are from times jockeys were not so well paid.

Now saying ATV

No its Kylie for me. The horses run for her

I think a penetrometor has no resemblance to horses feet and now the turf has been restored like everything in the district it just grows vegetation. The topsoil is volcanic that came off the hill. Volcanics sole attribute is that fertiliser doest leach out. But raw ground packs if compressed so you need a sward. Just another piece to store in your punters diary. - dont take pene as gospel Puke summers
