    • I disagree entirely with you.  He had a fantastic hard working life and all of from his own efforts.  From being brought up as child in Otago and educated at Otago Uni to Bermuda to Nelson to Auckland and Christchurch may have been in there somewhere.   Clearly coming back from the USA he picked up those two MacDonalds franchises and made good money from them. He had a very dry at times provocative sense of humour and if you didn't get cotton on you'd wind yourself up.  Contrary to what you might think he was very loyal to the South and I'm sure at times he would test us mainlanders for our own loyalty.  I doubt he would have ever fully converted to the Blues and would have been a Crusaders fan!
    • Saffie Joseph, Jr. earned his 14th consecutive trainer's title at Gulfstream Park when the track's Sunshine Meet concluded Sunday. Joseph recorded 30 wins at the meet. Jose D'Angelo was second in the trainer standings with 26 wins. “It never gets old,” Joseph said of the title. “Actually, like a month ago, we were down six or seven. I looked at it and said, 'We'll give it a go and see if it can work out.' The horses got in form, and it worked out. All the credit goes to the horses. All praise to God and the workers and the owners who give me the horses. I'm a small part of it.” Edgard Zayas was the meet's leading rider with 44 victories, earning his third Sunshine Meet title in five years and his 10th title overall at the Florida track. Miguel Vasquez was two behind Zayas. “It feels great. It's been a great year,” Zayas said. “We've been getting a lot of support from all the trainers, owners, my agent and family. It's nice to get it done again, especially right before the Championship Meet. It's a really important meet and it's nice to have that momentum.” Arindel was leading owner in money won while JC Racing Stable led all owners with eight wins. Gulfstream resumes racing Thursday with the opening day card of its Championship Meet. The meet will be highlighted by Pegasus World Cup Day Jan. 24 and the 75th running of the GI Curlin Florida Derby Mar. 28.

    • Didn't mention his strange perception of people in the South, especially having lived there once he should have been a bit smarter on that one, didn't understand that my attitude of Auckland which many agree with as in the way it's changing in demagraph is correct, I think living there you will develop a distorted perception of the rest of the country, he certainly did on that one, was still good giving him a hard time on anything Auckland, one thing he did  teach us is, you can be here today gone tomorrow which puts most things in perspective that many of the things we really worry about don't matter that much in the final reality.
