Remember the days of huddling around the old vavle radio which were super good at picking up the local stations that broadcasted the local racing only, ow times have changed., those old radiograms were magic.

An oldie but a goodie

I see he's lining up tomorrow again, any thoughts 😊

Don't bet to deflated, a wise man once told me, never condemn a horse till it's dead.
-
Ye of little faith, won well again, don't fluke winner of 10 races make that 12 now, no excuses beaten lot
-
In sure they would, more than likely had the snub given their gifting of their assets before someone else got their hands on it, I believe they very in a good financial position, but stand to be corrected.

Talking of times, I think soundaration may have run to 2.16 or so to win the nz cup, and remember media puzzle running a similar time in his Melbourne cup, these days I think been a struggle to go under the 3.20 mark, mind you not the stayers of old

I may having been living there st the time, but took my camera, and was down on the fence, got a nice photo of her, and her low head carriage, certainly one of the highlights for me, she was returning from the Melbourne cup so was a top effort, didn't she finish 3rd in that Melbourne cup, was many a year ago.
-
She certainly was a colossal mare, was lucky to witness her nz cup win at riccarton, has stuck in my mind for sometime, don't think she left anything in the broodmare barn, but stand to be corrected.

Wasn't that far away to be fair, may get a drop back in class sometime, when everyone forgets, and may surprise again.
-
Three meetings in a week never ideal, and most trainers unlikely to start at all three, hokitika still out in the cold.
-
Big effort given the draw, and a tough ask for any runner taking the gamble to go forward from a wide draw, and hope to get an easier lead, if that can be achieved, in fairness it had to do a bit of work to get there.
-
Interesting the fixed odds v tote price, 40s on fixed I think, i reckon there'd be a fairly long list of horses out there that don't pay there way, must have been a handy performer winning 10.
-
Didn't see the race, but did see it last start and certainly ran on well, draw for me would have been the deciding factor,but hay great value for a small outlay, well done to those who got on.

HRNZ CEO Gary Woodham has serious medical event
Shad replied to Chief Stipe's topic in Trotting Chat
Sums thing up very well, such a said state of affairs when all of the professional workers across the board can't return to work because of their vaccine status. -
I'm sure there be a few more categories this year,

Tough gig, really do feel for him, we all like our food, just spare a thought for those waisting kilos to make a living.

Yes and in many younger people as well. -
When you look back at some of those rides on loader, one of many, remember one race at banks peninsula back in the day, not a hope in hell when they turned for hone, what a run, got there by a nose.
-
Certainly can't argue with all his achievements and career over the years, the only time he rode one for us,drew wide stayed 3 wide most the trip cariried 59kg over 2000m, on a favourable heavy track, which he told us he didn't handle, upside horse backed up following weekend same track and conditions won well, with a different rider and a very economical trip, but that's racing, you just never know.
-
Agree way to many forms or betting, and just stretches the dollar further, I'm mostly each way punter, with the odd trifecta or multi, hard enough to pick one let alone 3, got to be careful these days as it's to hard to come by, to fritter away.
-
Sports betting not for me, only had one ever,and that a free bee that had to be spend on soccer world cup, had two bets at riccarton Saturday, no return, but both roughies went tidy races and be worth following, thistle and lapa mala who was paying 70s, I like those long odds, had a couple of tidy collects off mi Carol who won a couple a while back one that paid 33s, did take her a few starts to fire in the deep south.
-
I guess when you when you backed noted soft trackers, and the conditions change in the blink of an eye, doesn't help matters, my issue was the upgrade from a soft seven to a good 3, surely the pemtrometer could have been a tad more accurate early on, I like you lose alot to, but had a wee purple patch last 2 months, generally most things are stacked against us even at the best of times.
-
Interesting awapuni track today, slow 7 when I put my bets on, but certainly changed quickly to a good track early on. Could have saved my money had I known earlier.

Have not tried them for many years, think video recorder ok but dont know for sure, but the old style 10 ton TV is blown an o ring, although not a problem to replace.
