2012?

Turn it up Bucky, what nonsense!

Under statutory management…..finally!

Cambridge isn’t exactly flying either….

Who would that be?

Very proud, he has gone up a few notch’s over the last few years, going great guns! My other son Jonty is there to, he is a school teacher… Very proud of them is an understatement… Tom will be home one day….

Those were the days, it was a bit before my time…. Sadly, a lot of the riders nowadays take up jumps riding as an afterthought… Doing the apprenticeship thing, riding work with experienced riders, a thorough grounding in all aspects of the industry….. Some can’t even get their butts out of the saddle to ride out a finish…..

It will settle down, but yes, water is the key to it.. Well run day, congrats to the team at Ellerslie….

Lots of Ellerslie knockers on here, have a look at Rosehill today, smallish fields, Whats your take on this?

Rode a couple of Wellington Chase winners, trained one in conjunction with my ex wife! Great chase track, sad these so called experts are selling off all this land, I can see in the very near future there will be nothing left! Race Clubs seem to attract people on to their committees that know fuck all about property development, the Crown Jewels are sold off, and then…….. You would think a Wellington Mayor would have some idea, obviously not….its a work in progress, watch this space, a downhill spiral is more likely, and it’s progressing at an alarming rate…. Good luck WRC, your on you’re way out…..

I thought the track played fairly, horses winning from anywhere, jockeys were happy… Your mounts didn’t handle it Gruff?

What years?

I am backing Turnip on this, plus he had a wee bit of barrier practice in his day, along with a few winners….

Got the power then a push of the button in my day….mind you, that was a week or two ago……

Savy B for me mate…..
