Tauhei Notts 1,413 Report post Posted March 24 Many years ago an Australian political reporter asked the late Bob Hawke if he had ever been wrong. Hawke looked straight into the camera lens and said "Yes". The political reporter was astonished that a politician would ever admit that he had been wrong. "And how was that Mr Hawke?" I"I backed Galleon to beat Manikato" responded Bob Hawke, I sincerely hope that people will not say that Tauhei Notts was once wrong; "He backed Orchestral to beat Zarkozi"..

Ponderosa8 1,365 Report post Posted March 30 "McDonald left the meeting with a short suspension, which he has delayed until Sunday, April 7 through to Thursday, April 11." That was from Racing.com.. didn't mention anything what race it was from etc... Wonder why he delayed it.. surely it wouldn't have mattered if he took it from Sunday 31 March until Thursday 4 April.. perhaps he's booked for something next Wednesday that he really wants to ride.?? Any other thoughts.?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDonald, the rider of Shinzo, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under AR131(a) in that approaching the 900m he permitted his mount to shift in resulting in momentary crowding to Hawaii Five Oh and Libertad, which was severely hampered.

Friend Family 175 Report post Posted April 10 No Pogue's ......the only place I will be visiting is the PAYOUT queue hehehe .....and it will be a damn shame not to see you there. Sportsbet are $2.00 into $1.40 which is ridiculous.....no horse deserves to be $1.40 in an Oaks ....but she does have a bit on that lot so the big boys are still unloading.
