rumpole

he was also sick of travelling so much and I am sure he will ride again for Michael Pittman in the near future.

As for travel at this time of the year..eg Lisa Allpress and Chris Johnson (45)
, they both rode at Waikouaiti....then by car to Chch and fly to Wellington early Saturday morning..then to Tauherenikau
full day in wind etc then back to Wellington, next morning 1st plane at 7.25am to Chch and then plane to Queenstown..then 1 1/1/2 drive to Omakau..last race 7.25 pm plus..get back to chch ..almost 7 hrs
next morning fly to Wellington for Otaki
Lisa makes it CWJ misses the plane by 3 minutes..big crowd at Chch airport. not pushy enough like his manager..he on stand by for next 2 flights to wellington but no seats ..even Jetstar were full so goes home..misses 2 seconds and a 3rd..at Otaki....

can you blame David Walsh for wanting a respite ????????? and good luck to Lisa Allpress for doing the hard yards..she rides Coup Align in the Telegraph and David rides sensational mare Wealth Princess.add Tavistock and Wall street
and the Ozzies..what a race!!!! and do not forget Mufasa?????

Graeme Rogerson was very complimentary about the track after his horse won

Congratulations to an old 80 year old  and his lovely wife

Just keep fighting Michael and you will get there

What a great days racing today , Avondale and Invercargill Trots.
Not many years ago Queens Birthday was a good race day. Castletown Stakes at Foxton. Great Northern
Steeples at Ellerslie..I hardly ever   missed Foxton in 25 years
Fantastic races today at Avondale with high stakes. The winner of the first  only took 25 starts to shed his maiden status
in what could be a track record at the course.
Why was Otago     raced on Saturday after at least 16 years on a Sunday???
Why and when and who????
Asolutely disgraceful   Wh
