    • Whats wrong with hrnz staff looking at pictures of cats. its been scientifically proven to be good for your emotional well being.i think i read once where they reckon it makes the brain release oxytocin,meaning their employees may be more open to love. mickey g.I'd like him,next time hes on the box seat,to  wear one of those oversized gold chain  necklaces that his cousin Ali g wears,that and top of the line dark shades..To anyone who thinks i'm being nasty,which no doubt there will,hey,just chill) i saw him on the box this week.He asked what will happen to m williamson if they close oamaru.He said mr williamson had something like 70 horses on his books and 40 in training. well mickey g,i know the answer to that. Nothing The oamaru racecourse isn't going anywhere.If they no longer having harness race meetings there,it doesn't mean they will close the oamaru racetrack for training horses. What a plonker,he would know hes exaggerating. Keep the tough questions coming mickey g. as to the one pool. I disagree.The one pool will make a big difference.Maybe your a latecomer to bit of a yarn,but back in the day, when i was a lad,i used to ramble on about tote pool sizes and jackpot pool sizes on the nsw tote.(Thats when i wasn't geoblocked and had an account with them) basically,sometimes ,if the nz harness races had timeslots and sky racing channel 1 coverage,it wasn't uncommon for the nsw tote pools to be similar and sometimes hold more than the nz tote pools.Of course if nz harness racing has a poor timeslot and no sky 1 racing channel coverage,then the nsw tote pools could vary from similar to nz to sometimes as low as 1/5 of nz.So its all about the timeslots.I once used the example of a 6 horse ,no form race for non winners at manawatu holding over $10,000 in the nsw win pool which was quite a bit more than the nz tote pool.And it will definetly help increase the exotic pool sizes here and there,especially if there is a jackpot. so,one pool has to be a very significant positive. Only thing is i don't understand why they aren't saying much about it. i assume nz harness will tap into the one pool given we commingle with the likes of victoria who are joining.Like something positive is about to happen and they say nothing about it.Why is that?
    • Just the 1400 bend I thought.
    • Champion Hong Kong galloper Ka Ying Rising has created history by achieving the highest rating ever for a sprinter for his stunning victory at Sha Tin last Sunday. After returning in a blaze of glory in the Group Three HKSAR Chief Executive’s Cup (1,200m), the David Hayes-trained superstar reclaimed outright top spot in the Longines World’s Best Racehorse Rankings with a rating of 135 when the latest rankings were released on Thursday. That mark saw the brilliant winner of 21 consecutive races...View the full article
    • I thought they did more than that.  Certainly not just one bend but multiple.  Even so the relaid turf would have only been 30mm in depth - arguably it wouldn't be "much different than it ever was" only if they didn't do anything to the soil beneath the turf.
