Advert in NZ Herald for cup weeks says
''DISCOVER THE ART OF TRADITION at AUCKLAND CUP WEEK'''
Obviously they have short memories.
Tradition is Boxing Day=======Derby Day.
Tradition is New Years Day====Cup Day.
Advert should have read...F......k Tradition,Racing the way we want it.
The numbers on course suggest that they are wrong again.
I recall a local publican racing horses like legal ruler and regal ruler.Surname may have been Duncan and a jockey by the name of K.J.Marauri.Possibly got name wrong.
Track should have been purchased by NZ Racing and retained as a jumping only racing and training track.
Rogerson put his hand up to buy track at one stage,couldn't have worked out.
Weir certainly has runs on the board but for me,i always thought that he sent his horses to the well once or twice too often which tainted my opinion of him.
Pulling faces,looking good and sounding good don't make a good poli.
Little substance has come out of her mouth so far.
Oh sorry i take that back,,,18 houses have been built.
What benefits is there to Ordinary NZers of Jacinda appearing in New York.
Key ,Clark,Lange(uk) all did it and yet we have record petrol prices,record rents nothing actully helps those at the coal face.
It's not all gloom and doom.
Shortland Strret is nnow gunna be on 6 nights a week.
Hard to believe really,when they don't have enough of a story line for once a week..
If you were a young trainer based a place like Te Awamutu ,would it be a good idea to move now to another training track.It will never be cheaper to buy land than it is now.Get going.
Watched yesterday as a former Nazi was deported from the US to Germany.
The US citizen was 95 years old,a widowed with no children and suffering from denentia and other illnessess.
He will spend the rest of his life in a nursing home in Germany.
A jewish lady (whose parents were killed at his camp)was interviewed and said that justice had to be done.
I just hope that the Israelis remember this when they are finally taken to task for their crimes.
Not taking sides,just want justice for all.
Channel surfing last night and came across a great doco called The Wrecking Crew.
Basically it was a story of how a group of talented musicians were used by bands to play the music for their recordings but virtually apart from being paid,recieved no recognition.
One of the bst music docos' i have seen.
