No but I did put some posters on the lamp posts in Kohi - "Has anyone seen Thomass?"

What length heels? I assume if they are your Mrs's they are foot stabbers.

Perhaps they are reading BOAY?

Is that a 'tongue in cheek' comment? Isn't Te Rapa one of those Iconic tracks that are well funded and managed by the racing elite of Waikato? How much centrally managed can you get?

Would unpaid dividends actually be a lot? What is the percentage of bets that are done through tickets rather than online? If online obviously they go against the bettor's account until they withdraw it.

I hope they don't rip the sand slits or the new drains.

Ironically until they started renovating it!

I tend to agree with you. The only solutions the current mob has is to put in more drainage and sand slitting.

Otaki hasn't been right since they first did that work quite a few years ago.

Did rain fall after Race 1?

Folks BOAY picked this filly out after her first win. Remember the video we posted? She's still learning her craft didn't settle at all well but still won easily today.

Yeah I hear ya. Once again we reinvent something new when there are other solutions already in place throughout the world. For example in OZ they have these self-service machines sitting on the bar. Usually multiple units not much bigger than a shoe box (child's size). You fill out your ticket (which are simpler than ours - only takes about 10 mins first time to work them out) and scan the machine. A beep goes off on the machine and I presume a light comes on and the bar maid comes past and processes your money. If you want to cash up the bar obliges. It seemed to me a very efficient process - minimal technology AND customer service. Mind you with OZZIE bar staff multi tasking, gambling and pouring beer is built into their DNA!

Hesi - did it take you more than two minutes to check your tickets? Save you have to read Barryb's link.

7mls of rain forecast between now and midday.

One person complained to me via email saying I "was a joke" as I was posting under SLB2.0.

No revenue data posted on NZTR since May? Has anyone seen anything more recently from the NZRB?

Thanks Hesi and SLB for confirming that SLB isn't me. Not sure why anyone would think that....but...?

Easy guys on the picture interpretations. I'll only get defamation threats. Hesi - wrong cartoon. Dino was the dog in The Flintstones.

OK to post. One of my friends from away back had breast cancer at a relatively young age. I was quite close to her during that period in her life which was about 15 years ago. Even then there were drugs that weren't accessible in NZ that could have helped. I worked for the MOH for a period of time on a project that was to introduce a screening programme for bowel cancer. After a lot of money being spent bureaucracy, contractor greed and politics stopped the programme. What I did learn was the disproportionate amount of money that is spent on women's screening programmes and mens. Bowel cancer affects men more than women and of cause there are the issues with prostate cancer. However how much is spent on screening programmes for these cancers?

To be frank I have resisted responding to BS elsewhere. However that blind eye is starting to open very very wide now. What I will say is this the truth will out and very very soon. First answer these canine questions: Did the RC site owner since the establishment of BOAY breach the privacy of RC members by entering their account to view private messages? Did that same owner change RC members avatars and add derogatory names to those members profiles? Has that same owner and his mate used RC members accounts to post under?
