    • But we have the polys now to spice up the winter programme with reliable good footing?
    • Believe it or not, trainer D. Wayne Lukas may grow old. But that cannot be said of the thrill he receives from winning a Triple Crown race.View the full article
    • Fair dinkum' true Walt. Derek , Wolfie and Roy Purdon the absolute  'Grandmasters of the game ' always thoroughly polite to everybody , achievements in harness through the ceiling , All MBE I think?  and possibly the top 3 in NZ history harness . although Nz has a brilliant field to choose from. Their sons and grandsons doing well accordingly too.  Hey for BOAY and Newmarket s Addington thread. Here's one for you Walt and even Chief , Galah and Newmarket and Ranga might remember this one. The open class National Handicap used to run every Winter . and one year I was tuned in as a kid to the great commentary of Reon Murtha. Reon talking about the weather during the race  Reon uttering "Unbelievable conditions here at Addington tonight , the fog so thick you can't make out where the horses are on the track and we'll only get a glimpse of them 100m from the line as they emerge from the fog . ANd IT's SUNSEEKER !! sunseeker wins the National !!!""" (quite apt a horse-name for the conditions , looking for some sunshine too ? 😂) Sunseeker (driven by Kevin Williams for Cecil) was a real outclassed horse of Cecil Devine's and defeated Lord Module and the very nice horse Roydon Scott to win that race on that cold Foggy Addington August night.  Sunseeker being a very poor non trying horse,  Never won (or even placed)  in another race after that, from 50 more race starts over 3 or 4 years. taking on Hands Down, Bonnies Chance and co. Got no idea why Cecil kept sending him around. Probably just as a 'kill' for Lord Module I spose.?  But he had that one race to 'shine' when All the others got 'lost in the Fog' . the sun(seeker) shined for a moment in time 😅🌞🌞
    • The "Social License" issue is BS. Change that to "where are the most votes".  The reality is though that most people don't really care.  
    • I hope Peters has the balls to tell all two antis where to go and put them to bed once and for all. Pity Shane Jones wasn't the Minister of Racing. Looking like hold your breath time after what was on the MSM last night.
