Just missed in the second with similar tactics from a long last, so why not, when the draw and run gave her little other choice?

7/March ATC Funding $166,651 GBR $195,713 + $29,062 16/3 Banks Peninsular $170,175 $227,917 + $57,742 23/3 Waimate $159,321 $205,237 + $45,916 30/3 Manawatu $88,508 $119,916 + $31,408 The Auckland meeting was a bit of an anomaly, the Favorites winning was at only 12.5% on the 56 horse, 8 race programme , normally it would be more like 40% plus. April had 27 meetings, but the Funding for the last week is not listed yet, but it looks like there would have been 8 meetings that made a profit.

I made the same point at the other place. Never gave the horse a chance to win, and never really made an effort to do so, and that usually results in a suspension? -
Today at Wingatui right from Race 1 it was obvious that being as near to the outside fence as possible in the home straight was the place to be. I backed Our Bo Jakk in Race 2 and the jockey took a gamble by staying to the inside, I'm sure it would have won if on the outside, but being only Race 2 maybe it was worth the risk. But when I saw Hayley Hassman riding the hot favorite from Walker stables in Race 6 stay hard against the fence and run last you have to wonder what the instructions were ?? I was more than worried because I had already had a bet on one of her rides later called Ex Aye, but no worries she kept it wide, and came down the straight hard against the outside fence and won. I just don’t understand, why she and a few others tried going through the glue, especially on a Walker/Bergerson hot favourite 6 races in ??

Might have stretched the truth for the moment BUT have a read , the stage is set for persecution . South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed into law a bill allowing land seizures by the state without compensation - a move that has put him at odds with some members of his government. The law "outlines how expropriation can be done and on what basis" by the state, the government says. It replaces the pre-democratic Expropriation Act of 1975, which placed an obligation on the state to pay owners it wanted to take land from, under the principle of "willing seller, willing buyer". The new law allows for expropriation without compensation only in circumstances where it is "just and equitable and in the public interest" to do so. Attacks on white landowners has been an ongoing issue in South Africa. In 2023 there were 49 murders and 296 attacks on white farmers, according to the South African NGO AfriForum. -

I was interested in this fellow too. Was disappointed in his first start and though drawn wide yesterday cruised to the front into the straight but gave it away the last 200. I expected better. Jury is out for mine.

Given that horrible horrible genocide that's occurring in South Africa right now, I'd expect to see very few white players in the South African team facing the haka at Eden Park on 6 September.... and those that are there, surely won't be returning home. That is, unless President Trump has got his facts wrong. -
