Rowley Mile

Great story!......I know Ottavio well, when I was training at Rosehill we used to drop by Ottavio's cafe in Leichhardt most mornings for a Latte and bacon sanga........Ottavio loves to talk horses, he has owned horses for ever, he is a great judge of personality being a restauranteur and obviously identified young Richard as a ''genuine bloke', so, karma, there you go, like attracts like and they are benefiting and rejoicing......all the good luck in the world to them, I hope they win either the slipper or the sires...or both!

Great man

I ain’t been bankrupt yet, so I’m still keeping my head in front of some, as soon as we see retrenchments in Perone we might leave some of our horses in the country, so a niller I’ll stay until that happens I spose.

Doddie Weir, now that’s a great Scot!

I really shouldnt, but bugger it I will, I’m quoting Dr Herriott on the other site when I say this Baz, but you’re living proof why brothers shouldn’t marry their sisters, you won’t win, you don’t have the smarts.

Just reading your post again Baz. Next time you go on holidays you gotta use Trivago because it seems they really stung you in Cairns ??‍♂️

I’m choking Baz, bloody prawn tails, but I just had to champion your post, you bloody living legend you

Oh bugger, Uber's at the door with Mooloolaba prawns, fresh mangoes, and some xxxx.........lovely jubly........gotta go.

Ok, but first tell me, what comes first BarryB, the chicken or the egg?.......you genius you.

Hey, listen SFB.....friends of ours owned a FRF........I trained a horse for them, I know alright, maybe your supplier is giving you the wrong drum fella, don't believe everything you read in the NZ Herald, you'll go blind.

And that sums it up.....you don't give a fark, thankfully some of us do and wont sell our good ones to Asia and won't make the bloodstock agents richer. We'd rather race them, enjoy them, cheer when they win, and sometimes weep when we lose them, and I mean lose them.....they mean something to us other than an asset or liability.......when you pick up their shit when they are foals, watch them grow, watch their personalities evolve, and in some instances their ability, nurture them, break them in, educate them and finally take them to the races, and, if you're in Oz, skin the bookies, there, well hope it's not an industry day and that's as far as they can go......unless of course it's in your mantra to sell them to Asia, and that BarryB is another story....a sad one......end of, I'm walking on this.......never call me a racist again, I was raised in Porirua, Titahi Bay.......did my time in Maori towns in the 60/70's.....have Maori cousins, and you I'm afraid showed your true colours toward Maori on one of your racist posts....as for chicken,...... the shit posting wife of 45 years and I don't eat Ingham's chicken, we eat free range and eat free range eggs.......you ok with that?

Sad, I lived there in KL, My Mrs worked for 8 years for a HK based operation and the best boss she had was Singaporean........My referencing is to the life the horses get in ASIA.......and quite a few agree with me.....those that know....and those that care......you really are sad, should we pity you? yeah probably........and unless you've seen and witnessed what happens, pull your head in.....and as for insulting our Aussie trainers, next time you flee NZ to holiday in Cairns, be careful mouthing off, as that's what you do.....mouth off and can't back it up.

Nah you wont finish in front, a long way back I called you a racist.........you must be sick of running 2nd.

I'd like a little wager Mrs Rowley would finish in front of you in the intelligence stakes Barry, you drove people off a few sites did you not? you must sit there hoping like a hell some poor woman posts....you sick......F&^K

A Racist you fool? I was born there before you, you were pissing your nappy when I was training winners at Flemington......I'm not training winners...at the moment, but I bet you're still pissing your nappy.

He reckoned the track was better out there, he was determined to prove it!

great ride from Rodd Michael in the last, it was beginning to look like a sad flight home........

Hell, not a good ride from Rodd Micheal in the sprint either, might need to keep heading south, fit in down there.......or back to SIN.........Peyton Place, pass the brandy/gin.

On that Michael Rodd was not worth the airfare!.....the life in SIN is not real time, in fact it's all down time and good times.

The Tote turnover today will be very very interesting?.....for several reasons, there could be several suits chewing chocolate.......if you know what I mean.

That sounds about right, from where I sit 3000 Kilometres away, track looks ok, but it's down to the jocks they know best.

Where's Baker, where's Pike where's Rogie........if it's so bad why aren't they stepping up to the plate? it can't be as bad as they are saying surely......otherwise these pillars of the industry would be loud and proud.........?????? you think?

NZ has only ONE Gr1 in the worlds top 100.........Livermol Classic =91!......3rd world however very definitely 1st world salaries.......why wont someone shirtfront the suits on these salaries? call them out ?.......has anyone got the gonads? I seriously doubt it.

I think an export levy must be initiated Nomates, seller or buyer....but there must be a tax and a good one so revenue returns to the industry.......that way at least some semblance of good proprietary is invoked ....but there needs to be a will to fix it, and at the Moment there is no will. My neighbour got rich selling to Asia and the filthy life they got didn't concern him in the least, couldn't give a shit, just counted his money.....shitty life at the moment for him now, karma does exist you know, it just waits around the corner.

The best 3yo in NZ has been called home by the Lords and Masters at Church Of Hong Kong........the decimation of NZ racing continues unabated. It's sickening and sad...both. That's what happens when your lives are dictated to by foreigners.......what do you really think Herbie Dyke would think? More Wonder failed the vet or he would be gone by now too.......Italy lost their only Gr1, ....NZ is on track to be the next Italy. #failedstate.
