Pretty sure that she was nominated for Hastings before Rogerson got the horse so presumably the owner has had his say. I know where i want it to finish but then again its not my money so i shoudn't give a toss.

Compare that fine with the fine that Cambridge trainer got for administering a drug into a horse that may have contributed to putting Chris Dell into a coma for 10 days and then he even had his original sentence reduced.

4 games,1 draw,1 loss,2 wins only 1 of which has been All Blackesq. Listened to the press conference after game with Hansen,Foster and co. Couldn't believe the number of journalists asking soft questions so as to save their access to the All Blacks. I win doesn't cover up some,imo,holes in the All Blacks. Lets be honest,the Wallabies are a crap Rugby team and 1 win cannot plaster over their problems.

Many years ago Trump was offered a share in a horse by Pete Rose (baseballer) and the other shareholder was to be Bob Baffert(trainer extraordinaire). The answer was no.

Remember the days of OPEN DAYS at Rogersons.The placed was chock a block with wanna be owners getting into syndicates. I wonder how many are still involved in horse ownership especially that syndicate that raced around 10 horses in the early days. Mind you its a ''buyer beware'' situation.

Team Rogerson,who will stick their hand up and take ownership of any failures. Three pairs of hands to choose from.

Comeback Wayne Smith,your country needs u. Show Foster the door.

The late Bill Sanders used to do it. Ballybrit comes to mind.

I think Happy won a race with D.J.Whittington aboard. Same owner also raced Idol and Two Sous both pretty slow.

Sad to hear of Noel Riordans passing. Rider of IL TEMPO considered by many to be one of NZs greatest stayers 2 Auckland Cups,1 Wellington Cup and a Chalmers handicap.

Gavelhouse sold 9 of 23 listings at their first online auction. Early days so i would expect more offerings and more sales in the future.

How about combining harness and gallops,1 gallop race 20 minutes later a harness race etc.

I would like to think that this would be part of a package that would be the result of intelligent racing people reconstucturing the racing game that would/could eventually lead to my suggestion becoming a reality.

Should be a Premier (50k min) meeting in the upper north twice a month,one in the lower NI and one in the SI. Ellerslie should be utilized more,agree 100%. Barryb,after those suggestions on closing tracks i think many will add you to the Folau list of going below. Not me.

IMO a new horse racing and equestrian centre needs to be built. It needs to provide many tracks with various surfaces for training purposes and at least 2/3 raceday tracks with various surfaces Stabling for many horses and accomodation for staff Vets and feed suppliers etc should be on course along with accomodation for visiting trainers etc. Swimming pools and water walkers need to be on course as well as other methods i can't think of. Purchase plenty of land providing opportunities for hill work and walking tracks for horses. Plenty of other stuff required also' Very expensive but do it once and do it right. Just my thoughts.

A report from A&E in Denvers main hospital says that since cannabis has become legal in Colorado,the hospital Emergency room has seen 5 times the amount of young adults suffering from a Psychotic Episode. Agree with your comments 100%

Do people actually get paid for doing surveys and studies.?

Have to agree about Peter Vela.Not only the owner of NZB but has his horses with many trainers.

Always been one of my favourite jocks,but imo appears to go missing at the Sydney and Melbourne Carnivals.Possibly not getting on the goods horses for whatever reasons.

With all the land that the TA club originally had the course could have been designed far better that is for sure.

Best viewing track in the country,otherwise it's crap.

Why don't they allow a local trainer to gallop a couple on the course proper prior to giving an opinion.

Don't look like top eighteen material this year.Poor effort against the Broncos last night /Starting to look like 2020 will be their year.Hmmmm.

Make that twice.

IMO track descriptions in Aussie don't really reflect the same type of track in NZ,so imo a good run should be expected. I have been wrong once before.
