So you get ZB is a talk back station - if the hosts didn't have opinions it would make for a pretty bland listen wouldn't it ? And why should that translate into them becoming politicians ? By the same standards you are criticising them - are you going to get into radio ? The media calling out those in power and keeping the public informed is surely one of it's key roles. Hosking does a great job at that. Goes too far sometimes - yep. Won't be correct in everything he says - yep.

To balance that up a bit there were 9 acceptances (and 5 scratchings) If all 9 had gone round that would have been as a big a field as any of the 4 jumping races tomorrow at Trentham (and 3 of the non jumping races). Fingers crossed we get a great carnival at Riccarton

My sympathy and best wishes to you and your family Berri

Great stuff Cubes

Actually if you talk to, or study the very serious punters they will tell you that the price you get is critical to long term results. The pros work on relatively thin margins already - so odds offered/takeout rates/rebates etc are all very important

On the same day a woman is convicted of manslaughter for shooting and killing her partner while she was on meth. Thinking he was an intruder trying to rob their cannabis crop. Home detention and about the same number of community service hours as P4P. Justice being seen to be done is often an issue sadly.

Had a decent punt on Iffie Shows each way and in tris and first 4s. I will confess I don't rate jockeys at the best of times - but I look back at that ride and wonder what may have been...

Good to see the "1-800- Got Junk Mobile Pace" from Gawler interrupting the Derby build up on Trackside 1

They said it bled. Hopefully will recover. Sad to see - great stable and had a punt

Only minor meetings on a sunday so why would they ?

You must have loved the big meeting of the day yesterday at Randwick - no free for all there with form out the window eh ??

Yep it is a crazy economic model. Pretty marginal on the selling side too - for the first time I've got a small interest in one going through the ring. Interesting when you add up all the costs etc. Could've done without another week of it being looked after too !!
