    • I doubt you been laughing for a year...you come across as too miserable for that ...but when these excellence awards began last year you labelled them laughable/jokes . At least you consistent and your bitterness permanent ! When Chief eventually asked you if you liked anything at all about NZ racing you replied ....yes , The Cossack. i don't think the poor horse has won since ! Is there anything else you like about NZ Racing . Any other priceless quotes to remember you by ?
    • Well Gamma, The 'oldies' from the annuls of Interdoms still showed their worth at the ribbon of light on Friday. Plus young Harrison Orange warmed up for his upcoming Junior Drivers champs in your backyard next week ,with a couple of wins...horses run well for hime ,fastest Kiwi to drive 50 winners ! But no sign of Nathan ,he supervising his elite team in Queensland...he now the boss and dad Mark the part-timer. The young lass who was caring for and driving Treacherous Baby who ran a good 4th from bad draw in good time is Aussie lass Brooke Wilkins who rotates as the elite strapper for the Purdons while in Queensland. She has had success in Australia as both a trainer and driver in the past but in recent years is the top travelling strapper for the Purdon barn. She just started driving in NZ on an overseas Junior license . Her father boards the Horses in Sydney and she has worked for J.McCarthy ,Amanda Turnbull and Jaso Grimson who gave her her first win as a driver.She also worked and won races for Emma Stewart ! One interesting winner at the Park was elderly trainer Ron Richardson ,who won a Trot race with his 4 yr old trotter Itmusclebelove. He recalled a godd young pacer he won first up with....Classic American [American Ideal] ....at Cambridge then sold a majority share of it to Perth where it won some 30 races and raced in the Interdoms in Perth  recording a couple of 4ths. He has a brother of his winner to night ,a travel companion , who is only horse in NZ by Up and Quick ! You heard it here first !
    • so according to tonights  results, they aren't paying any extra for running 5th. So maybe that does mean  they will lose a point if they run 5th?
    • Four Wise Women opening $4.60  and out to 31.00 WTF is that all about. Yes the trial was ok but that was against horses who would be 101 or above in this field. Was always going to be double figures closing. Wow can not wait for the grass track racing.. 
    • the above example was race 9 but race 8 was just as bad.
