Perhaps she sponsors him........

As long as he doesn't pick it at Invers ....................

Did it win?

Summers afternoon in the big smoke

Weather dramatically improved in Auckland this afternoon. Almost a summer's day! Understand still showery in the Waikato. All weather tracks notoriously fast when damp. I won't get wet from my lounge lol.

Don't see draws over 2200 will be a huge factor. Good driver, good horse should = good result

Hastings will be getting a reputation

I note for the squad against the Pakis, Southee has been RESTED. For xxxxx sake. If they want to drop him then do so, but don't make up lame excuses. His workload of late has surely not demanded a period of REST

Sorry Blue you not wrong often - it was at Auckland 13 July 1974 Black Shannon. But I can't take credit - Infohorse can reveal all sorts of answers. Incidentally (from the same source) Una trained 5 winners.

Una Anso was a "hobby" trainer back in the 1960's / 70's. She didn't drive very often - I see from HRNZ web site she only drove 1 winner. Trained out of Otorohanga and if my memory hasn't abandoned me completely had a property on the main road to Te Kuiti just south of Otorahanga.

Still more thrilling than people pretending to be flies climbing up a wall

Probably cost too much change programme to make fine tuning. You got what you got. Like it or lump it. Etc Etc Etc p.s. Yes, easier watch it from lounge chair than squint at puter screen.

Do they have the cattle?

Why must they keep on having that guy Tito talking rubbish all the time - doubt he even knows anything about the game. Thank heaven for little mute buttons!

Perhaps with another toughie next week they didn't want to blow his guts out.

No - they do at Tauhkerinikau

Now part of Taranaiki Racing Inc. Trotting track was removed quite a while ago - harness raced on the grass. I think it was too expensive to maintain the track for just one or two meetings a year. Made sense and at the time was an addition to the grass circuit which was shrinking.

Like everything - you got what you get. After a while you get used to it. The Tab/Entain know this - there will be moans to start with then the clamour will die down to zero as everyone gets used to and accepts it. It's part of marketing "skills". Like abolishing doubles/pick 6's - the bitching didn't last long, did it?

Reg passed away 2007

Apparently he ok and already.in the north.88

News on Oscar deafening. Could he be out for the big race?

Don't know Dave but most were ex South Island. Sam Payne and Trent Yesberg raced the odd one but whether they still involved in sale I wouldn't know.

A dollop of mares just been exported to China

It's now just a month to go. The fields need to be sorted out pretty quickly now.

In the "good old days" when clubs MADE money and the stands were jam packed most (maybe all) clubs officials were either volunteers or received an honorarium. Sadly those days are gone never to be seen again.
