Pure bloody theft Col.....there is no reason for it. There must be thousands in that slush fund.
Would a bookmaker write off what you owe him after six months...?? Not bloody likely.

She's probably referring to the Cheese Board......

Remember Anne saying he just loved being part of a stable environment and the regular routine, as many do. He has been a great money spinner for them and I'm sure she will know if he doesn't want to do it any more. 

Ever the optimist Liz......won't do me any good either, ticket long gone......

Can relate to that Craig...went there one night with John Carlyle and a few others and the Members area was like a mausoleum, and the food was both basic and tasteless....fortunately it ran out early on. The appeal of membership was hard to work out.......

She looks pretty good too....decisions to be made on which stallion she goes to shortly.
I am Invincible, Snitzel and Exceed and Excel seem to be the front runners.

A bloody disaster all round Jack. Saviours of the Harness Industry....?? They must be joking.
Someone needs to account for the total incompetence shown......the pretty logos are worth fuck all now are they.....???

It's better to do the kiss and cuddle before you get up BH....and I've got a spare rope if you need it.....

Getting worse Craig. Problem was the previous CEO seemed more interested in running a trendy lifestyle village than a racing club. Plenty of rumours about how this development got started, who was involved and why, but whatever the truth they were clearly out of their depth in this industry and we are seeing the results of that play out now.
Always amazes me that Racing Clubs seem to employ people with no idea or experience about the industry and I see Forbury have done it again recently. I spoke to a few of the people like Woody and Co when I was down there years ago and gave them some ideas to move things forward, but nothing seemed to change, hence the current situation.

Remember the good old days about six months ago when on a Saturday morning you sprung out of bed and skipped down the hall to the kitchen giving the missus a cuddle and a kiss .Sitting down at the table opening your laptop and spending a couple of hours going thru all the fields .
You get your bacon and eggs while you put your bets together ew bets done multis done doubles done pick6 done ahh life was easy.Outside the kitchen window the birds are cherping in your favorite bottle brush tree boy they sound great .Giving the missus a little kiss goodbye you wonder down to the pub to compare and discuss your bets with your mates .Happy hour is on so a nice jug of Speights and a few bets life it doesnt get much better for an old digger.
Fast forward six months Saturday morning you wake up knowing you have a mission you look down the hall it seems longer and narrower you finally reach the kitchen giving the missus a knowing nod. You circle the table and open laptop to tab,yeap click on buffering click buffering scratching click scroll,scroll on to feilds ,network down please click to restart.Click buffering scroll on and on .
Breakfast arrives, it is muesli, seems that recently my blood pressure has risen sharply and wife says its good for me I can hear those f##*en birds squawking in the bottle brush tree must get the chainsaw out and chop that tree down.Not sure what bets I"ve on decide to watch an episode of Chernobyl to put me into a happier frame of mind to go to pub.
Walking into pub which has changed hands two nice young chaps who have turned it into a craft beer bar,the tab is gone as takings were down and a Kiosk was put in which doesnt work because of technical problems, Im no technician but I think the axe sticking out of the screen after Bluey couldnt get his money out might be the problem.I walk over to the boys table with my handle that looks like horse piss and whiskey chaser.No one is saying much just mumbling about dont think their bets are on ,network down click on and try again .Its not good seeing grown men crying so decide to go home to watch big races from Wellington..Wife is watching boxset of Married and the First one in the sack on the big tv so watch on small tv in kitchen the big race was so close but no photo finish what were the numbers ?Waiting for judges call ,noooo Sweeeeenys burbling on no call Ahhhhh were did it all go wrong I sit with my head in my hands. Thats all I've got to say about that.

Who knows TN....

God knows what anyone watching the lottery down there today is thinking about NZ Racing.....particularly the Aussies.
Running on a bog track, the lucky ones getting to the outside fence well before the straight, winning by a dozen while the rest are strung out like Browns Cows......nothing making ground......a punters nightmare.....might as well head for the pokies, you have about as much chance of winning there......
 

Yes, that was great news for the whole family. All the best with Enzo's Lad....
