The Brodster is a heavily restricted punter so his passive income has been reduced hence why he would be at Valentines with his brother on pension day for a 5% discount. Brodster would also be salivating over the small fields at Auckland as he can sneak a bet on and come in under the tab $1000 anti money laundering policy (which he is not happy about) without having to sign in (unvaccinated blood) to get his money. -
Last chance saloon guys n gals. We have had incompetent, poor or decidedly average leaders at NZTR for a long period. If this latest appointment genuinely has racing as his prime focus than it is well within his brief to rip up the programme and start again. My following comments are focused on the very top, there is a huge amount that needs to be done through middle/lower layers but one must get that top echelon right. We would be naive to think that the changes that now see ARC dominating the calendar will change. Yet there is so much more that can be done to create a different flow from Ruakaka to Riverton and all in between. Big paying novelty races have their place but so to, and surely, more importantly from a breeding/sales perspective, do long term, group races that follow a logical PATTERN. The concern for mine is that the focus will be only towards strengthening the North and that would be a killer blow for NZ racing diversity. Look where racing started in Newmarket England and how today hundreds of years later there are still Group 1 carnivals to both the South (Ascot, Goodwood) and North (York). Riccarton must IMO retain a G1 race and for mine that is the Oaks. Easy to set that up in March and connections can easily fly from there to Sydney if they consider they are good enough. Awapuni has the Sires Produce for 2yo and should also get the 1000 guineas. Te Rapa, I suggest gets the 2000 guineas, which will keep the North reasonably happy re travel. Ellerslie do not need any more Group 1's and if they argue show them what happened to Mr Creosote when he was convinced to have 'One more morsel.' I notice that Ellerslie have also 'nicked' the Thoroughbred Breeders stakes off Te Aroha and I like my idea (I would, wouldn't I) of them getting the Captain Cook stakes in December as compensation. The sharp eyed will have noticed that I am suggesting the Oaks go South , the Captain Cook North and what about Trentham. I deeply regret that this once great track is in its death throws. Everything points to it being swallowed up for residential development. So what about the Telegraph. I don't have all the answers...over to you. -

Lost me on the last bit but I did enjoy Pogo. Definitely Australian in my opinion.
