  2. From the "oblique" phraseology being used it would seem to be a deflection away from a truth, that mistake/s were made. You could say that PW is doing a "Leggy" which is a swerve. Thats a dead rat that CEOs have got to eat to protect the assets when there is a cock up. But it is not the end of the world. Ellerslie will come right. Commiserations to the owners of horses injured. I know of one that has died. Racing is a hard game.
  3. FFS Wilcox was quoted in NZ Herald yesterday as saying 'the matting was on the top level' Page 28
  4. Yes I think I will do the same and not engage with him. He kind of trolls me or at least go contrarian to what I say. A pity. I have taken a keen interest in the track and have been on it shortly after the seed came up. i've be back since as every 3 moths I call in to ATR HQ as part of what I do. I invariably have a look and check out Taiki's rose.
  5. Leggy stop digging ffs. The separation cant be subsurface thats where the mesh is. What is the mesh supposed to do? Shift laterally? You would earn more respect if you conceded when wrong. Just man up!
  6. Leggy Why dont you change you UN moniker to PONTIFF. Clearly infallibility is your gig. You goose!
  7. The weight of sand is about 1700kg per m3. so do the sum Scoobs, doest seem right
  8. Look it is elementary. PW says it's matting on the surface of lush grass, so its the mown grass thats not been harvested. Now there is dead grass thatch and they have put sand on to make it grippy. Hopefully we dont get horses affected by kick back.
  9. Back in the Takanini glory days. You go down Porchester Road now nothing but poor houses.
  10. Mmm, I think they dont want to admit much. I think matting is another word for thatch. If its sub-surface the sward would be coming off.. I know of unhappy Owners that lost a horse from Ellerslie and there may be insurance implications to come
  11. Yes you have nailed it. The problem surely is thatch. The grass seed was heavily fertilised and the growth astonishing right from germination. The problem will be helped when the fertiliser load reduces and a more normal growth pattern occurs. In days gone by sheep was the answer. Get the rakes out?
  12. Thats nice. ATR have heart
  13. Thank You - you are a good man. I am recalling I wrote a story on Ocean Way way back.. He wase was over 30 years old. Went to Patsy' place and took photos. If I can find I will put it up. But I doubt it I used to see Bob at Puke and Ellerslie and say hello. He was a good Counties man.
  14. He was a great rider. Gube I see Bob Fulton died. A top Franklin Clubman that raced homebred horse with his that was brother Mawson F - I think.
  15. Must have been 90+ ?
  16. Turn it around the other way anyone paying a Million is making a hell of a punt. The horse would have to earn over 1.5M to be ahead. There is always the inherent frailty of the modern Tb as well to factor in.
  17. FYI stodgy - PADDINGTON to shuttle to NZ to Windsor Park Stud where Montjeu stood
  18. Leggy shouild put in. He knows all things.
  19. The bottom line it was an ill judged ride. CW would have been aware of the fact Jenni always "jumps and runs." What was he thinking that she would stop so he could catch her. He could take note of J Mc on a good horse; Get it out - Settle one out 4-6 back - Peel out top of the straight - Pick them up - Win!!!!!!!
  20. I try to operate on the maxim, "I will put up with your peculiarlarities (sp?) if you will put up with mine."
  21. Leggy seems to have a need to prove he is smarter than us. And rather than concede a point will divert and fudge. But he is useful as he is like a good truffle hound. He can sniff out and dig up value. I guess it is just asking google the right question that others cant be bothered with.
  22. Twinkling,, Veyron, Boundless, Richie McHorse, Cheaperthandivorce all Limitless family (Black Type) Then Dazzling, Alhambra Lad and Double O" Seven won multiple.
  23. The track had issues that are being addressed so that is a positive. New Manager new broom! Dont knock it!!!!!
  24. Southee bowling pies
