He pleaded guilty I imagine because he would have got longer if he had defended it. This is called justice in racing speak

Resign seems to be the wrong word. I would have said "stands down due to health issues" would be more to the point. Resigns says to me got a better offer/job or had a row.

Not a new "problem" - club don't appear to worry

ATC take note

v South Africa S.A. - 2 B.C. - 0 Nothing new

And the most worrying loss is the younger generation. They dont sit at home watching tv racing as they never experienced the atmosphere you talk about and unless they have a direct connection to the industry most of the "modern generation" have been lost and hence the future clients, whether they be owners or just punters., Technology may be a wonderful thing but in some areas, and racing is one, it has caused an adverse effect.

The good old division races. They used to run a race in 2 or even 3 divisions.at Hawera at Easter. Tote numbers used to go up to 24 I think but I cant recall how many they started in each division but after all numbers up to 24 were allocated they added an "A" and if necessary a "B" The divisions were all under the same pool and a win dividend was declared for each division and I think 2 place divvies. All divisions were warmed up together and quite often a driver would drive in each division. These guys were returned to the starting area on the back of a truck or some similar vehicle. While the first division was run the horses for the next division were held in a chute near the starting area. As far as the tote was concerned there were no "A"'s or "B"'s so you could get a horse with the same numerical number running a place in each division whereby the dividend for that number was doubled. Sounds complicated but really it wasn't. And no computers in those days.

Will NZ win one toss this summer?

Those in the north that knew Neil, don't forget his memorial tomorrow at Alexandra Park from 5.30 pm

And very often the red hot draws 1

More important fish to fry at the park tomorrow

Ho Ho Hoey - we got Cloey

Covid - Hongi disease

Probably hard for drivers when told by trainer "get the lead" and if 3 were told this 2 would fail and probably get a bollocking when they returned for not doing so

I don't think the codes would have any say. Entain is now the B all & end all

Great they got all this money - or have they?

What is the present criteria - I thought it was tightened for pacers anyway?

All the money comes to rest in the same few pockets - as usual. Will this really give the industry a boost.

It's controlled by the breeders so chances of any change pretty well zilch.

Wow - really - thanks chevy

Appeared to have hit the off button showing little interest at the task in hand. Yes I know it's very difficult when you are up four zip in a five match series.

Maybe I'm hard to please, but I was very disappointed with the presentation. Every scoring boundary was "superb" every catch was "unbelievable" and every stop in the field was "remarkable". Most of the commentary was taken up interviewing all and sundry who were in attendance. I know it's just a funsy wunsy event but it got over the top on many occasions. I was very disappointed in Hvelt who I had considered to be a very balanced and knowledgable presenter but he did to me try and hog the show just a little too mucj.

Just looked it up - Pak won toss 4 out of 5 occasions. Of course they called we didnt.

What was the count for the 5 x 20 over games against the Pakis?
