    Chris Wood got a reaction from Breeder in Trackside   
    Luke sits in the impartial lane, not too close to anyone and not afraid to put things out there.
    It’s great, what we need, ask the questions that need to be asked, not fence sitting….

    Chris Wood reacted to Houlahan's Dream in Trackside   
    Issue is that NZ racing is so insular and small, people cannot express opinions for fear of upsetting someone. 
    I remember first time going to the races in Sydney, watching the pumper get absolutely sprayed for a losing ride. 
    It is such a closed shop in NZ, people are afraid to speak their mind. $1.70 shot runs 4th? Silence. Just one example. 
    Long live Luke.

    Chris Wood reacted to Idolmite in tony lee to finsh commentating   
    Would he want to, after what he's been calling?
    It'd be like getting forced out of your Red Bull Formula 1 drive and accepting a ride in a Lime Scooter race 
    That maybe stretching it a little as NZ doesn't have F1 quality horse races, so maybe from Formula E to a Lime Scooter race?

    Chris Wood reacted to Leggy in How do you further downgrade the Wellington cup   
    I'm pretty sure the Remutaka Classic is a middle distance race, not a staying race like the cup and as has been pointed out above is in a completely different programming category, not in competition at all but welcome additional interest to the day's racing.

    Chris Wood reacted to nomates in J Mac's Coming Home!!!   
    A lot of money up and I'm pretty sure if you could get J Mac on your horse you would . I'm also sure Grylls and Spratt have got on horses at the expense of lesser jockeys over the years , it's the nature of the beast .

    Chris Wood reacted to Augusta in What part of the track to take. Who cares?   
    I find it annoying how the presenters on Trackside make such a big deal after the 1st then 2nd race about what part of the track is best to run on. Today at Pukekohe, saying it was too wet on the inside, had to go out wide. Almost putting words in jockeys mouths in interviews after the race, saying they would surely have to come down the outside later. I think Warren Kennedy disregarded that, not all his winners came wide. The thing is, speaking to the punters, what can we possibly do about it anyhow. Where does it say on the TAB sheet where certain jockeys are going to run down the home straight. We cant tell the jockeys I'm only going to back you if you come down a certain part of the track. Owners/trainers might throw them off if they dont follow instructions, but to the ordinary punter, what is the point of even going on about it? Ok. I could find the mute button, but I like to hear what the trainers/jockeys say after the race. K whinge over.

    Nothing will change, and therefore not a single dollar more should be spent ,while the present administration (there's a misnomer)  is in place.Have already wasted a fortune on in-fighting and consultants proposing grandiose projects while all the time exhibiting a "siege mentality" from reason.
    Down to the local bowling club the bloody lot of you!!
