    • Yeah , just usually quiet mid-week racing with not many there. 😂 Next week though they have their BIG night of the year,  with the Kilmore Cup 🏆. There will be a Big crowd to see possibly last years winner ,(the Auckland Cup winning)  BETTER ECLIPSE take his 2nd victory in the event. 3 years ago Anthony Butt won it for NZ and trainer Nathan Purdon with another Auckland Cup winner in the form of the great mare AMAZING DREAM.  
    • Race 7 NEW ZEALAND BLOODSTOCK CANTERBURY BELLE STAKES 1200m DIABLO BLANCO (A Goindasamy) – Trainer Mr. R Didham reported to Stewards, that upon return to the stable the filly was examined by the stable veterinarian, which confirmed DIABLO BLANCO’S heart rate had returned as normal, and the filly underwent an endoscopic examination and blood tests with no abnormalities being detected. R Didham further advised it is his intention to carry on with the filly’s current preparation and may look to nominate DIABLO BLANCO for the Ashburton RC meeting on 12 October. The post Canterbury Jockey Club @ Riccarton Park, Saturday 14 September 2024 appeared first on RIB. View the full article
    • How do you know very few have come to "prominence"?  The definition of Prominent is:  leading, well known.  That he is.  I've been around as long as you have - if not more.   Yes you are entitled to your OPINION but what are the facts?  What in what you describe as an expose is wrong?  You are very quick to toe the party line without doing any research.  So come up with some facts of your own.
    • I was driving around today and saw one of those v shaped advertising signs on wheels that seem to pop up on empty sections next to roads that have a heavy traffic flow.The ones that seem easy to relocate if you wanted to and are about 5m wide. and i thought well why doesn't hrnz or addington invest in 3 or 4 of those for display in christchurch or wherever. Once again they would display racenight and have the display broken into 3 parts,the horses in a finish,the winning trainer and driver(helmet off),and the winning owners. It would have the race sponsor visible across the bottom. each display unit would have different photos displayed and they would be replaced each 2-3 months with more recent photos of winners.Which ones to be displayed,maybe drawn out of a hat involving each race run over the previous couple of months or of the race named after the business where its displayed.The only cost would be the initial building of display unit and the photos displayed thereon. the key would be to have them transported to businesses with space outside that are next to areas that have high road or foot traffic. Each month or two they would be moved to a new location so as to get around the city and so new people see them.Maybe sometimes placed on new subdivisions with current vacant land next to busy roads if developer agrees. Heaps of possibilities. In return the businesses displaying them would have naming rights to a race,ride in a mobile,half priced meal tickets one night at the races,told of the exposure they get from naming a race ,whatever it is clubs do for sponsors. the whole point would be to embed in the psyche of the masses that harness racing is part of their everyday activities that occur within the communities they live in. Its there,its fun,etc.its people like them that are involved. The gambling side is not the focus,it is the people and the horses.Also its about promoting community involvement through sponsorship.The blue september thing is something that would fit easliy into the billboards displays.Displays to show cross section of people,male and female,young and old.  
    • That stand would be appropriate at Alexandra Park or have they recently downsized 😀
