Hi John, couldn't you make an exception for me and add in Kyneton tomorrow, Race 3, as I have a horse trained by Patrick Payne having her first start and I would love to lay her in the competition. If she wins I will be very very happy and if she looses I will get a little bit of compensation LOL. PLEASE John

I agree with everything you say. Other than the camber I believe that sooner or later the other problems will be resolved. I hope so anyway. Liz

The word is that it will change now that the TAB own the frequencies.

NZTR has completely lost it from the head down. Maybe a better way of putting it is that the head has got himself lost…gone AWOL and the rest are rudderless. Just thinking and saying.

To be fair to Awapuni, the CD has trials or “official jump-outs” every week, so it seems. The vast majority are at either Foxton or Levin and for what it’s worth, the Waikato trainers, ‘from what I have seen this year’ are well represented down here too.

Are there any more guesses by anyone including the Auckland Club Management of Wilcox and Baker, , ARC Track Staff, StathAyr, ARC Race Club Committee, Trackside Commentators, Race Cafe contributors, our esteemed leader Scooby, Trainer Chris Wood, the outcasts Hesi, Doug, friends across the Tasman Pogo, even me etc? I AM WAITING.

Congratulations Team IMPERATRIZ, but particularly Peter RS. My private message of "all the best" to Peter last night, certainly worked

And then cancelled because it couldn't take the rain like it was supposed to do! A triple somersault this time, is what I am expecting.

Him and his Dad were = to the best, that I have witnessed race in the flesh. [I didn't see Frankel or Secretariat, other than on TV]

The whole sorry saga is starting to make me laugh with the u-turns, backward flips, this is the official word, well for now or until we come up with another idea etc, etc, etc!

Unbelievable!

That should have read: Really, didn’t that body (Queensland) have real problems not so long ago?

Really, didn’t that body (Queensland) have real problems so long ago?

The operative words are: think we know, except it seems no one really knows! At least that is what I am thinking with the conflicting guessing that is being put forward and coming from the different official channels via Media releases. Good night Liz

Is there anyone left in Wellington? In particular I am referring to Darin Balcombe. I know many decided that they weren’t going, and I guess those that did agree, have had their expenses reimbursed. That then brings me to the costs involved with selling and buying of a house. Would they be covered? Whatever way you look at it, the costs of the move would be horrendous and for what?

Scooby and Nerula, remember a few weeks ago I had to ban myself for 7 days from communicating with Leggy, otherwise I could have gone crazy. Guys, the same idea is probably worth considering

Given the way National are behaving [or not behaving] I am predicting that they will be a one term government, which is unheard of in NZ for a very long time.

I’ve just listened to Paul Wilcox on Weigh In. It sounds like they are building a “sand castle” at Ellerslie. Liz

Well done Imperatriz, that's a great result on a hard day.

Don’t forget, probably the best of them all (ability wise) Happyandyouknowit.

For $55 million I would have expected perfection, not a lot of what if, where as, what we did elsewhere, tomorrow it will be better, maybe trials to test again etc. Seriously something or someone or somebody [plural] is at fault here. The sooner they own up the better. Liz

All cases actually.

Where has Bruce Sharrock gone too? He's the boss but never has anything to say. Even the few "news releases" appear to be written by Darin Balcombe from what I can see. Just wondering.

Someone mentioned “crash test dummies” the other day somewhere and they were cried down. I guess that he deserves an apology?
