All good in Hawera at the momment. Showers overnight. Maybe worse still to come Early bet -The Budgiesmugler in race one.

Also in same race #2 Reecetherageese is running. Could be an interesting finish if both fight it out, which is very likely

Sorry didn't thank the comments re cruise boat availability. Back now and didn't think about racing while away, too much to do and see and eat and drink. Hopefully like some racehorses , I'll go well fresh and ready to go this weekend.

Hope this is not a stupid question. Going on cruise leaving Auckland and going Bay of Islands then Fiji and Samoa. Have paid for expensive WI FI for cruise, for mainly family reasons. Any one know if I will be able to connect to TAB once out in the ocean or is it the same as not working in Australia. If not, I'll give me a break from punting and I'll come back rearing to go. Good punting Race Cafers

As a member of BGP since its beginning, the last 2 years are the worst for returns of their big investments on Karaka millions night. It's the risk you take with any investment and if you cannot afford it, don't bet or join BGP. Getting new people into racing must help the industry. I do get winners from their weekly email with their 9 trotting and galloping tipsters best bets. Having worked once with Luke for 2 years I've never met anyone with as much enthusiasm for racing as he is. Hopefully they'll take last night on the chin and carry on.
