No givens in this game, no matter how well bred they are.
-
Was actually the Jarden mile, with the southern sprinter knight invader running the quinella.
-
Also couldn't forget Johnny alone winning the big sprint up there, think he was by blue vermillion, trained at timaru, and paid a big price
-
On thinking some more may have actually been greymouth.
-
I think many moons ago the late Ray Harris taking Brutus and Scoth Mist up to Auckland after previously racing at Reefton, my memory not what it used to be, so stand to be corrected.
-
The old haricot chops, another forgotten gem that most supermarkets don't sell, super tasty.
-
Wonder if Costco do whole carcass, see their bulk mince 11.99kg
-
Yes and whole legs to, not chump off ones that supermarkets sell, always missing the rump, on supermarket prices the two whole legs would around 120$ plus some,, let alone any of the rest, certainly a good buy.
-
Whole lamb looks good buy, is that the whole carcass, what sort of weight, the only cheaper way is to buy on the hoof, rules do state you must keep the animal for x amount of time before slaughtering, a job in its self, some way the eyes are good eating, they see through the week, sweet breads really nice, and brains good to, not such a fan of frys and hearts.
-
Pleased to meat you, and meat to please you, the old butchers phrase, there are usually a jolly bunch with good sense of humour, despite one of the lowest paid trades people, now there as rare as goose teeth, just have to look on trade me to see how many wanted, plenty of ex ones around all in better paid employment, keep those flaps honest John and have a trip down memory lane, will get two off a whole lamb and if there small roll two into one with homemade stuffing. Best and tastiest roast, not great tor the cholesterol though.
-
Yep and they still are I can vouch for that, another little gem is cross cut blade, if you can get a nice mid to tail end piece of steak it frys up a treat, quite tender and super tasty,bit cheaper to, shame the small butcher shop few and far between, none why I live, days of a free sav or cheerios long gone, regulations put a stop on that, sad ole world.
-
Yeah the old venison deer to, farm stuff fairly mild and ok, but wild stuff not for me to, lamb or even better hogget flaps very underrated stuffed and slow roasted in an oven bag cant beat them, get a nice crunchy skin almost like crackling.
-
Crickey the food safety laws these days,paper work and audits, especially the supermarkets, average Joe wouldn't have a clue how stringent they are, and then you see some of the takeaways or food providers,seem way less stringent rules, no offense Joe b.
-
Think they must of dined on kangaroo they other night, seemed to have more spring in their step.
-
Interesting what you would pay for a whole lamb these days, especially from an a licensed meat retailer, given there prices per kg, I'm a purist and all those marinades take away the lamb flavor for me, but each to their own.
-
Cutlets in nz be 40$ and some per kg, lamb racks be very similar.
-
That's a special price to, usually 31.99kg, nz meat way over priced.
-
May have trained a horse called Mutual Belle tidy performer, also one called wandering star from memory, was many a year back probably a few more I've forgotten.
-
Top effort under 70kg, looked like he may have botched a jumped just before the run home, was a little hard to tell if it was him or not,could have been the difference at the finish, good to see raise the flag, flying agent, also running well.
-
Yes agree, one would think so, I been trying to remember the horse that hunter was riding at the time of his accident, I think it may have been a first time jumper, bloody sad when this happens and the grief left behind for family, friends and racing people alike.
-
Also Ashlee Mundy who was riding at kurow, and the last nasty fall at rangiora, was the end for racing on the track, still hold trials there quite regularly, have not heard of any issues with those. I not sure but i thought Hunter Thomas may have been riding a jumper, and maybe Ray Hewinson to, Hunter was apprenticed to the late Ray Harris I think, stand to be corrected if anyone out there knows.
-
That's barking mad.
-
Cheers for the explanation
-
Anyone enlighten me what MAAT stands for.
-
What year did diamond pal win it, it can't remember that win, but can recall ronganui win three from memory, red baron, Magellan maybe not sure, all counted another that springs to mind but may have only been placed.was there the day empire rose won the cup, what a mighty mare she was in all forms.
