C'mon CBT it is quite clear that Sunline never went through the sales ring. A cursory check on my part found this out very quickly and I wouldn't doubt Ted's info for a moment. The breeders offered her to Trevor McKee. Perhaps your friend is confusing Sunline with another horse.

The Stewards haven't held back https://www.punters.com.au/news/mark-zahra-handed-hefty-suspension-fine_179267/?fbclid=IwAR3Ug2s-hJWP68leTNVYpERrxqdhpSpg-kqZdBpcU8iTk3TryKyfw6jbNkI

Might just be better than ok this one. Time will tell https://www.punters.com.au/news/sydney-plans-for-chenier-after-sandown-win_178429/

Thank you so much for your kind words. I backed a different runner in the last election race but have to totally agree with you re Jacinda Ardern. She has been very strong in the face of an unprecedented event in this country's history.

Hi Racecafe folk. Just to say thanks for the many kind thoughts expressed to the people of Christchurch. Personally and as a family it hit hard as I am a teacher at the school that lost 2 current students and 1 ex student. Other students lost family members. Today was very tough but we got through with the love and support of those around us.. My wife is a nurse at Christchurch Public and was on duty when the victims were coming in. She went on duty just after 2.00pm as did many others and I picked her up at 12.20am Saturday morning totally shattered. I know people can and do make comments about what the PM was wearing, should the Crusaders change their name etc all fair enough but for many that is so trivial right now as we just cope with all the mixture of emotions we have. Again thanks and tomorrow is a new day and we will push on just like we did in 2011

This might get a few interested if you have a good stayer https://www.racing.com/news/2019-03-13/news-kiwis-included-in-jericho-cup

You are right. This has gone on forever. Some 35 plus years ago I would regularly place bets for a Harness Racing Patrol Steward when there was a local meeting. Location will not be revealed. I'm certain it still goes on to this day

Weir and two others have just been charged by Racing Victoria and given a show cause notice

For me a roughie is north of $20

Starter has copped a $450 fine

The Stewards Report is out and Opie has neither a suspension or fine

Is sadly No No No. Scratched

Looking at some of the win/place pools it would seem there is no co-mingling re Muswellbrook as an example

Was just sorting out a few horses for Happy Valley tonight and could only bet Race 1 with the rest of the meeting "abandoned" In other words we need to shut down early to go sort the new system. Stuff me, I was pissed off with no Hong Kong on Sunday and now they have done it again

So, just to really piss the punter off the TAB decides to show Singapore and Hong Kong but no betting. Yes I know I could have an account in Aust but I do not and will not. Nothing more annoying than watching horses you had your hard earned on at a previous start or two rolling into the money. Jolly Banner and I am totally spewing

I will throw my two cents worth in here and say that this track has a long history of horses that are in front or thereabouts on the turn are still there at the finish. I know that it is a long run in (400m?) but there is just something about that track and front-runners.

OUCH! Feel the burn. Haven't seen the race as yet but note not in the first 4. Confession time. I backed the stablemate (winner) at 8.50 ff

This is one of the tracks that Messara wants to keep open, which has me completely at a loss. There always seems to be an issue down that way re horse numbers at meetings be it Kurow/Waikouaiti/Omakau at this time of the year and one of them misses out. With Timaru today and all the other meetings including the coast circuit coming up I just don't think there is the horse population to support so many meetings and probably has not been for a long time. Just an opinion.

If you go to the Nasty Fall Ruakaka Race 4 thread I put an update on there last week

Interesting update on Just Zerene https://www.racenet.com.au/news/fascinating-insight-for-punters-on-gold-coast-magic-millions-betting-plunge-horse-20181227

Very sad news. RIP Rumpole

Have to agree. A bet now is just crazy. Metservice has 53mm for AKL today (37mm so far) and another 33mm for Christmas Day

Very sad news out of Australia this morning https://www.racenet.com.au/news/melbourne-cup-winning-jockey-john-marshall-passes-away-20181224

It will surely keep for another day. It seems like McEvoy is somewhat p..... off with the club as they did not make it clear that the 2yo race would have a 10 horse limit
