I was there nearly every year in the 70's and a few times in the 80's. Had relations that lived across the road in Derby street. Invariably my father had a horse or two racing there from the Hill stable. High Chapparell won the main race one year. Apparently in those days we were related to two thirds of the town. I do remember one year Keithy Powell was way out in front half way up the straight on the rank outsider paying 60's or 90's. The crowd was silent except for one lady in the stand yelling "Go Keithy!!!"

When did they ask? WHO was it? Which Clubs? Was one of them the Canterbury Jockey Club?
-
No one has answered the question: WHO BENEFITS? Until you answer that question then you can't change anything. PS: @Huey your snipes are irrelevant and childish.
-
So a bit late to be complaining now. Who was involved in setting the programme? Who benefits most from it?
-
How long has the programme been published?
-
I was there in 1974. Are you sure the Westport Cup was run on Boxing Day?

Hardly minor - important tool for Trainers and punters alike. -
...and you wonder why people like you less than they like me which really is saying something. As for Specsavers well I've had countless people I know who made similar observations as myself so it must be something in the fluoride in the water that we are drinking or a bad run of Speights brews. Although there is some irony in you recommending Specsavers - perhaps that's the source of your whip counting problem. Regardless I thought you would be all over the tardiness of getting the videos online.

-
@Comic Dog this Topic started on BOAY 11 hours ago 4 hours before yours. But who the hell cares other than you and @nomates ? Oh thats right you have a mortgage on any topic.

WTF Is the muppet Leigh Mckenzie on about? I thought he said he didn't visit BOAY?

Quality over quantity

Meanwhile....the KiwiB?
-
What when the NZ TAB had a real monopoly and the only alternative was the pub bookie who offered less for cash?
-
We have yet to see Well Written racing in tight quarters and really challenged. Those two factors undid Velocious and Alabama Lass.
-
A bridge too far and is a case in point. It must have been in work since June and raced every month until the following March. 10 months!! Most trainers work on two 6 race start cycles with a spell in between. In OZ they have the horses at near peak for those 6 starts.
-
Geez @hesi did you have a cup of nostalgia tea this morning? Drifting off topic.
-
The KiwiB isn't the culprit shifting the Derby is as well as the Karaka Millions. The Boxing Day Derby did fit in well with the Guineas races however now you have to give your horse a break in between. Damn hard to keep them up from July to March without a break.
-
Sorry I don't how this signals Well Written can run an Oaks?
-
Romanoff - if they think he can run 2400m why not aim for the Australian Derby 4 weeks after the KiwiB or Queensland Derby in May?
-
I don't think Written Tycoon has left any Stakes winners past 1600m. He has had broodmares with plenty of staying blood in their pedigree.
