Oh my that is sad news. Was always great to see his golden smile each year when we arrived in Hokitika for the Westcoast circuit. 

Oh that is so sad he was a good bug...RIP and condolences to his family.

So sorry to hear this, Frank was always there at Trentham when I was growing up, wherever we looked there was Frank  , and later he worked for Dad on the track.   Bless ya Frank x 

Following haven't posted today.

Waiting for the Stipendary Steward to confirm whether Gruff is starting today or a late Scratching.😀

You Northern Latte sipping yuppies might enjoy sipping Champers as  you secretly dread tomorrow's traffic jam , but down South here we just look forward to a massive day on the punt at the home of NZ racing on Saturday....
Even Leo is in town....
And a few other 'Cafers perchance ?
The Cubemeister is gonna be a floater in the Nightmarch / Phar Lap vicinity.....recognisable by the parrot on the shoulder and the eye-patch

Lost 10 lenghts at the start..!!!

Go the pumice tracks..!!! Foxton, Wanganui, Poverty Bay, Rotorua...Taupo....who needs sand.!
Or as the most gritty big hearted horseman in my time 'Sir Ken Brown" would've said .....'where's them hills....show me the mud & go Master Joe'  

Memphis  you are so right. WE are all here to have fun .
Paul ( Ponderosa  )  is an amazing racing icon  with a huge foot print into our beloved Racing industry.
I have only once  ever PM   him  about  his scoring  in a previous Race  Cafe  comp.
I never check his scoring.\points allocation.
For gods sake .We are  so lucky to have Scooby and Paul  ( Pondy )  to allow Race Cafe  members and their families to wake up on a Saturday morning 
thinking about their R C picks. 
Why would any of us on Race Cafe challenge the scoring ? 
The winning Team will surely donate some of their share to Riding for the Disabled  or the  Injured Jockeys Fund

Great work Ivan today for team Gunsynd we are handicapped as one member is not posting congrats to Gruff big day today...Thanks Ponderosa your scoring is amazing and much appreciated.

A convincing win to Team Kiwi with another solid display from Betty. We are nicely situated in the middle of the field with lots of cover.
Cheers
