    • Well he posted the headpost after the falls at Otaki on Boxing Day, so I assumed that's what he meant.
    • What meeting is he talking about?  He mentioned Otaki on the 19th.
    • Try reading the stipes report. TIMES TICKING (J Chung) - Slipped shortly after the winning post when being eased down wide out on the track, dislodging rider J Chung who was examined and cleared to ride by St John ambulance personnel. Underwent a post- race veterinary examination which was clear. BEAVERTOWN BOY (L Sutherland) - Slow to begin. Shied at the dislodged rider, unbalancing rider L Sutherland, who was also dislodged. L Sutherland was examined by St John ambulance personnel and clear to ride. Underwent a post- race veterinary examination which was clear. Following the running of Race 6, Stewards and track staff inspected the area of concern shortly after the winning post, with a meeting being convened with Stewards, track staff and riders. Riders conducted a meeting after which their representative advised Stewards it was a unanimous decision to continue with the meeting.
    • "very close" - but didn't clip heels.  That's coming from this lot who have probably never galloped a horse in anger in their life!  N Goodwin, K Jillings (Trainee), R Greig (Trainee).  I'm picking you haven't either!!
    • Cheers Gamma, In early November I did Derby Day at Flemington and the guy I attend the gallops with in NZ [ no to trots ] recently did Randwick,Caulfield ,Scone [ he enjoyed the scones being given out !] plus some other NSW and Queensland lesser meetings so we compared notes.He too done a lot of big UK tracks ! Derby day is special ,put my wedding suit on and got out amongst the Roses. Spoke to some rough -diamond Aussie types both ways on the train and the pride/excitement that they showed in dressing up and getting to Flemington was very evident. The newish members stand is special and the place was packed . They do it well. Back home for Cup week I enjoyed Riccartons big day but really they short on covered areas and seating .Hence they encourage the boot parties , while down the straight they have the music and young folks. They squeezed a lot in. They cope ! Ellerslie I find very comfortable ...crowds nothing like the BYO days but generally everything is close and accessible...the stables ,parade ring ,racetrack etc Those photos you see of the 1950's and 60's ...how many would have gone if the malls had 50% off everything.Must have been so uncomfortable , like the 1956 Rugby tests , find a spot ,stay put and piss where you please ! I didnt see many A-Listers there even stellar owner Hanger Lindsay who won the race he sponsored ,plus 2 x others , dressed quite casually .  I did see the O'Sullivan lass [racing royalty] with pintsized All Black Damien McKenzie [Christs College]...can they produce NZ's smallest All Black or another Champion jockey ! All the best for 2025...Auckland Trotting Cup next up ,before New Years !
