  1. Yep instant put off for me! In this day and age you want to encourage as many on course as you can get. I realise this is a premier jumps meeting or at least used to be but don't put obstacles in front of the public attending...leave the hurdles for the horses. Admittance fees are for Melbourne Cups & Karaka Millions !
  2. Agree Chris...yet the winner of a R65 at Hawera yesterday only got 3 points and stays in the same grade ! Go Figure?
  3. Surprising with such a large stroke...because I'd imagine his golf clubs would be at least 2m in length!
  4. I was on-course at Te Rapa Saturday and noticed two things...Bruce Sherwin's excellent race calling resulting in the large crowd erupting loudly which in turn produced a great atmosphere!
  5. So potentially another racing community shut down. Levin trainers will need to relocate or leave the game.
  6. Very good crowd at Te Rapa today. Obviously a few bus loads from the King Country attended. Good atmosphere on-course too.
  7. Strath Ayr Tracks would fix this problem overnight!
  8. Yep it's worse when costs are incurred on top of abandonment's which could otherwise be averted. I had one nominated at Woodville 14 July ABANDONED.! Nominated again Otaki 30 July ABANDONED ! Now been in the paddock for over month! It's difficult trying to get them race fit for Heavy 10 track conditions and up-comng targets when these abandonment's puts your program back 6 weeks!
  9. Meeting postponed until Sunday August 21st.
  10. Shut Foxton down...sell it... and everyone move to Levin.
  11. Good Luck Berri...hopefully we can book end the card.
  12. Well I was bitterly disappointed with the move from Wanganui to Waverley because that track was running faster than my horse!
  13. Toby will have a right old laugh at us all.... if Up'n'Gone can get up in the last.
  14. https://racingintegrityboard.org.nz/decisions/otaki-maori-rc-6-may-2022-r6-heard-at-cambridge-1-june-2022-wiremu-pinn/
  15. We need to get back to our knitting. Breeding with good Miler/Staying Sires...producing tough classic types we are renowned for. Trying to compete with Australia using sprinting Sires is detrimental to our female bloodlines. JMO.
  16. Sad to hear the death of legendary jockey Lester Piggott who has passed away at age 86 I won't forget the winning ride on Arbre Chene at Ellerslie when beating Blue Rula narrowly in the Air New Zealand Stakes. R.I.P Champ ! Lester Piggott led Nijinsky to the Triple Crown in 1970
  17. Sad to hear! Condolences to all the family. The Filbert instantly springs to mind ! R.I.P Don !
  18. Luck Radich has always been a talent with common sense solutions but far too bright for most of the leeches running racing. He would show up all those career corporates...so there is no way they'd want him rocking the cushy boat (Titantic).
  19. Bay and Brown by all accounts.
  20. Phar Lap and Bonecrusher went alright.
