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?

“I received an account this month for $920 for a return trip from Cambridge to New Plymouth” Mananuku Blue, does that include GST? Imagine how much it would have cost traveling to Trentham last weekend or for the Matamata horses that have been trialling down at Foxton lately. I wonder if the float companies publish a schedule of fares for around the country? Liz

More fool him. Sounds like Don Ha all over again.

Nomates, Monty Roberts is certainly in agreement with you and not young Pertab.

Well done Imperatriz. You beat us fair and square today. Thank you John for fantastic organising and scoring. Thank you too Scooby for giving us the platform for these fantastic competitions. I am really going to enjoy the 2nd day of The Championships without having to worry about beating others. Liz

Try going into the Members Stand. It’s full everywhere.

Ellerslie, & Cambridge to start with plus of course the West Coast ones as Leggy said. Certainly not Trentham but it doesn’t matter as it’s a lovely day here in the Capital and the track should be good.
