Shithole…last time i went 2016 didn’t even had a public address system that worked

Nothing hard hitting in this from MG as usual when it comes to reporting on his mates

A Quokka is an animal- google it

Hearing an appointment has been made for the new CEO of the Integrity Board….former Racing Queensland CEO Dr Eliot Forbes

Was…a new one was built a while ago on the site of the old shop

It looks like whoever is in charge of the tv here and appoints these people that they have their favourites and if you aren’t in the “club” you will not get a look in.

Nz is involved https://worldpool.hkjc.com/raceday-detail.aspx?id=20240330a&b_cid=EWWPRT1E_WSS_WorldPool-2022_05 and overnight with Dubai https://worldpool.hkjc.com/raceday-detail.aspx?id=20240330c

Couple of NZ bred horses Chill Chibi (Wrote) and Speed Dragon (Darci Brahma) JMac riding too lets hope the run well

Which races?

If you watch the coverage on the internet, they always water on the morning of a meeting at Sha Tin

My apologies, again not sure if it was the actual Railway race or something on the undercard but yes, there was a positive on the day I am led to believe

Yes…heard it from a reliable source and one person involved is coming up with conspiracy theories how it happened

Thanks Rosie

Speaking of…where is Brett McDonald these days?

Far to much pigheadedness and self interest on the AJC committee behalf for them to join ATR.

Jockeys manage their own rides…no managers are allowed I believe

Anyone got any updates on the track redevelopment at Awapuni? Have not seen anything online anywhere as to where they have got to with the work.

The crossing will go I am led to believe. It had to still be there while of course the tunnel was being constructed at the other end of the course. But it will go after the first few meetings, presumably after the cup/derby.

Quality tv from Honkers, thats why you watch online rather than the bs they serve us here with dog races in between. Quality commentary and two we have both had in nz, mcnamara and wood. Get them back here pronto!

What a meeting coming up this evening our time. good luck to Jamie Richards who has his first HK group 1 runner Wellington who won the race last year with a previous trainer.

Totally agree - there is a reason Hong Kong have a limit of 14 runners because they know that is the right number of horses for the best betting races. I am sure they could run 16-18 if they wanted to but they don’t. what a shit show that was yesterday

Saw on TV today they cantered a few horses on the new strathayr surface yesterday (Sunday) and the reports from the two riders were extremely positive. Looked terrific, I can’t wait to see racing back at HQ. Not sure where you can find the replay but those smarter than me will no doubt be able to find it.

Sad news…thoughts with his family and friends. Was always very hospitable in my visits to Counties.
