Ioannidis is probably the world leader on meta-analysis. So far he seems to be accepted by ALL sides of research.

Did they punt at Caulfield? They would have got bonus bets as well.

I might put the last 200m on as background audio for BOAY on continuous loop - "It's Doug with his head in front, Doug, Doug, he just wanted it MORE!!!" "Doug in the centre, there was a charge down the straight but it was Doug that came out on top!" 20210828APKT09_V.mp4

Sorry forgot to ask are you serious or did you forget the sarcasm font?

FFS. Come in @JJ Flash can you give us an update on the promised $170m?

Really? Have you applied for a job at the NZ RIU?

Bugger I forgot all about it!!

Your point?

I see BGP lost about $30k for the day. I guess they will get that back in rebates.

You're kidding? Better judges than you have rated last years 2yr olds quite highly. I did notice that the home bend at Kembla doesn't seem to spread the field out like over tracks. Also Jockey's were either reluctant to go too wide for some reason or those in front kept it tight.

Really is that the level of interest we have been left with? Following the bets of a syndicate who get special privileges and subsidies from TAB NZ! I've never been one to live my life vicariously through that of another let alone a group of boys.

Who knows maybe they are the brave amongst us. Those that are willing to not kowtow to the insane rules. Weren't they all part of a bubble?

IFR = 0.15% Are you referring to CFR? I see a 70 year old fully vaccinated woman with underlying health conditions in NSW died of (with) Covid-19. Did she die of: - Covid-19; - vaccination; - underlying health conditions; or - did she score the trifecta? Regardless her death will be notched up as a Covid-19 death.

Aegon is going to win a nice race this Spring.

Fascinating. Still 260 ICU beds empty. Woops of course not......we do have other serious illness in the community.

The last horse to win the Golden Slipper/San Domenico double was Tierce in 1991.

Fair enough. I guess if it is good enough for our All Black stars!

I don't anymore - that's why I religiously fact check. Occasionally I err. However I'm quick to admit when I got it wrong - rare that it is. Be Kind Accurate!

I heard it on Mainstream Media so what does that tell you?

Kembla Grange is the home of the Illawarra Turf Club. It is 100km south of Sydney in Wollongong. They are on the foothills of the Illawarra Escarpment and situated 95km from Sydney and 9km south of Wollongong. This Kembla Grange Racecourse being NSW's premier Racecourse south of Sydney, Kembla Grange Racecourse is also a fantastic fully licensed Function Centre. Numerous organisations have exercised the management and control of racing at Kembla Grange until 1976 when the present Illawarra Turf Club was formed and conducted its first race meeting on the 18th December 1976. The Kembla Grange Racecourse is operated by the Illawarra Turf Club and it conducts on average 30 race days a year. Generally 26 are on Saturdays and the remaining 4 are held during the week. Records reveal that race meetings were conducted by the original Illawarra Turf Club as far back as 1834, 26 years before racing began at Royal Randwick. This site is where the present day Wollongong Golf Course is. The Keith Nolan Classic for three-year-old fillies is the Main race meeting at Kembla Grange. This race is run on “Sensational Sunday” in late March. Kembla Grange Racecourse Details: Kembla Grange Racecourse was constructed identical in size and shape to Randwick Racecourse. The course is 2200m in circumference, 25m in width and has a straight length of 420m, suiting horses that run on strongly. The track is one of the best shaped racetracks in Australia in which every horse is given its chance due to the long straight. The Club was given a full TAB service in 1984 in which it spent over $10 million on course improvements, including new stables, modern grandstand and associated reception facilities.

Had a reasonable book of rides. Not riding for "personal reasons"!

Stay Inside? So you are laying him?

Wouldn't rely on NZ sourced data. NASDAQ $72.70 Bloomberg - updates in real time. Be Kind Accurate!

Agreed. I liked the maturity in his racing style and that fact he could sit wide and not lose the plot. The second horse in the Slipper isn't too bad either but they kicked on to the Inglis Sires with him. He did win it on his ear though.

I think this winner of the Golden Slipper is extra special.
