Gruff

I'm glad you seen the funny side! We missed the bus but need to catch the next one and get back to exploration! However, we need to tell these two chaps to pull back on the first class travel and round the block limos. We need the cash for prospecting here!
 

Yes it's easier and more profitable to keep an existing customer than to find a new one! From experience!
 
 

Any more and you are out...understood you really are not a nice person.

I'm not going to trash Guy as he is still on a steep earning curve and it shows. 
As someone who has been around the game since childhood in one way or another, I must say that I prefer TB racing presenters to begin their time on-screen with a good grasp of the basics of our game as a minimum. Learning and improving with experience in the chair is fine by me once you've got those basics.
I'm an oldie & that opinion may well be reflected in my views about Guy. 
To me, he was thrust into the limelight because he had sporting knowledge (ex TVNZ sports reporter), screen experience, and he may well be someone who they believed might gel better with a younger crowd.
Perhaps his transition into the racing side of being a Trackside presenter might have benefitted from a little more education and time rather than being tossed in at the deep end?
IMO, he's not the worst on the Trackside channel.
I wish him well.

Think "battered wife's syndrome".
I'm pretty immune to to getting upset by the lack of respect they show owners. 
They will just say I'm a disgruntled whinger, without ever being introspective and asking if what I have queried has any genuine basis. 
As a certain monkey asked, "how many G1s have I trained ?".
As if that has any relevance to my level of knowledge regarding horses and racing. 

No surprise, can you blame them? Problem is their customers may decide f#$k them  That creates a problem for our Racing industry which entain cares little.

Would be sad to see same thing happening here in NZ. Although, did the NZ TAB take out pods from outlets not turning over a certain amount. Had some great times in Pub TABs in Christchurch. 

Cut 120 positions; save $60,000,000 per year.
Hey!!! That is $500,000 per person per year.  I had no idea that wagering administration paid so well!

Wouldn’t knock Lombardi just get, more a 2000m race, went couple of good races first up over the sprint distances, is on the long road back a injury, so be worth keep a watch on.

All rubbish….🙈

Gruff, thank you for bringing that to our attention.  Ryan Fox was paying $150 last Thursday.  He must have thought he was paying $15.  No news media people have brought up that 150/1 odds.  Incredible.

That birdie on the 18th was superb Gruffy. He won’t hit many better…no fear, no gain…..👏

Its Been 63 years since Bob Charles Win in 1963.... waiting for the group ahead on the last certainly didnt help Foxy there but hit a Beautiful approach ...that Putt looks ready made....fingers crossed...3 hole playoff if he misses....but he wont🤩

Give the Guy a break, he looks a bit like Justin Thomas and has a good personality. His knowledge is on par with Sweens and he made a career out of it😎

4/5yos? 

Sounds just like yourself then..you are truly miserable.

So close yet so far, brave run no peace in front, was reaching for the racing date schedule half way up the straight,, see iffindoubt had change trainer couple kg off why not,took a multi with explosive lass an Ruffhouse  Rosie, got to keep the faith, or a bit more practice, good luck there gruff n stuff, favour fortunes the brave, and they don’t cone more braver than the biggest billy goats gruff, I read it in a book once.

A lot of those staying races, ain’t just that, a sit an sprint, see the lack of pace in most, ya got your finger on the pulse for Oamaru, Certainly be winter going down there.

Had to laugh at Mike McNabs decision to lock up Sweet but Rails while the leader ambled around setting up a pedestrian 2.14 2100 on a day they ran a sub 1.22 1400.... if they ran a 'race' like this in Oz heads would roll

Think hes got a big future but daresay his ride in R2 wasnt much better.  Having two speed duels in a seven horse 2100m rarely works out well... confirmed with those horses being the last 3 home.  

Well, there you go Gruff. They couldn't get him. In hindsight it does look like the TAB initially reacted to some early local support in halving his opening and eased a bit on the day. In contrast they came out of the woodwork to be on the the one we liked. Just a pass mark. 
 

Keep ya eyes on those jockeys gruff n stuff, very good al catraz and line dancer, unfortunately draws handicapped both as I thought,, better ride on alca, no option but to go back from draw, he’ll keep for next time.
