My family hadn't seen that much of Bob in the past years but that pic is how I always see him in my head when I think of him, that mop of hair, which Toby also inherited.  Such a friendly and welcoming guy and at race meetings he would always, without fail, wave out and come over and say g'day and shake my Dad's hand and they'd have a great catch up and a laugh.  A real goodin.

Where's Miss Jools on this?
It's surprising to me how often Marketing departments and sign writers screw things up.

One vet scratches the horse because he thinks it's 2/5 lame. The trainer then gets into an "animated discussion" with another vet, then another. One or both of them feel threatened by the trainer pointing at his horse, speaking loudly, and maybe flapping his arms too much. The horse then comes out six days later and wins at Canterbury.

@tasman man contributed to 87 pages here in Racecafe, well worthy to take the time to read and appreciate where he was coming from for the betterment of humanity.
Great sense of humor to.

Terrible news. One of only two Racecafers I've ever met at the races.
Condolences to his family, many of whom are in the public eye.

Sad news about a top guy who did his bit and more for the racing game. 
He was a busy contributor on here and always had time for a chat away from the keyboard. 
RIP Gary.

Happy birthday Leigh.
Hope you have a ripper 👍

If he genuinely feels this is the right thing for him then it's the right decision .
Obviously there were things going on in the background that didn't help and his heart wasn't in it at that time .
I have never met anybody who hasn't done a turn around on something they were adamant they weren't doing again .
Good luck to him , best in NZ at his best .
Selfishly I hope he gets back on my big boy straight away .

Thinking on it.. a bit like the motherships wise words when I was going to a party...   keep your hat on and your legs crossed..   still stick by that now too  
 

I'd just love to see Kon Tiki run a competitive race in the Coronation, she's a wonderful looking filly and will go on I think given her breeding but she is so game.

Not everyone is the complete package, Tauhei. 

Some of us know a Narcissistic, lying, scumbag con man when we see one.
You will wake up sooner or later…..

Great ambassador for New Zealand...superstar.

Hi Phil I wish you well I hope your health improves and we can see you back in here I miss your humor here...take care and I wish you nothing but the best.

The site looks great Scooby!
I'm still popping in occasionally and was pleasantly surprised by the fresh new look - well done 👍
All the best to you and the Racecafe regulars.
I might find the time and energy to join in again soon.
Cheers
Phil
