Certainly interesting hearing abit more on the breeding side which always interests me, and the list of very good horses owned and trained on the coast, do remember all of them, just good to have the old memory jogged, perecolini one of my favourites when he raced at riccarton, and always seemed to give his best in some very nice races, peligro may have held a track record at Westport some years ago, think I can recall cappiemore even racing at Wellington one day, may have be a st ledger, not sure,can recall a guy of Moffat riding him at some stage of his career, and in his jumping days would have been getting over the real fences, today they are certainly not the same.

Always good to listen to a few stories from yesteryear, Napiat I can remember from a few years back, remember cappiemore, very good type on the flat as well as the jumps, won the greymouth cup from memory, but lost it in the enquiry room, controversial one must say, from memory owner never raced a horse there again, he must have won close to 18 or so wins, out of a mare called mixed herbs, which may have been by Kurdistan, she never left much else, another old fella on the coast had a mare that won one race, story goes she had plenty of ability to, unbeatable at the trials, but sadly race day, showed virtually none of it.The good old days, when turnovers were good, and crowds flocked to the course.

Borninthestates tidy country cup horse from memory and I think he raced in Australia to, though not totally sure.

Agree for sure, how can it be one rule for some, but not the rest, I hope it happens across the board, all these rules no help now, as it's prevalent here, 3 deaths on the road last nite, quite common, but they don't always report those stats, just covid deaths mostly more with, rather than of, reported that they are going to revel true numbers of deaths from it, should have been like that from day one. ,

And even covid positive nurses cant go back to work if they feel like it now, in yet another government u turn, yet the healthy unjabbed await the dropping of the mandate, crazy, great to see fonterra doing a turn on their policy,Good on them.

And 95% percent of the country if we believe that,now they all filling the hospital wards, at least they are apparently reporting the deaths of and ones with, should have been from day one, good ole scaremongering all along.

You make it sound easy, the other 11 couldn't do it.

That's how to ride a stayer I guess, track by was supposedly good according to jockeys,, inside didn't appear the best place to be, and I thought I heard track had been irrigated.

Don't think many excuses for the beaten brigade, the winner was back last with a lap to run, and I guess the rest is history, they did say the horse was a 450k purchase, so some reward for the connections, don't know much about the dam of him, someone will enlighten us on her.

This will go down in history, and the current leaders will certainly be defined by it, wont be remembered for much else.

Good on him, after the slippery authorities removed his property, and here they were saying how worried about the sanitation at the site, they must see it as the only way they can get some sort of win.

Unfortunately 4 people that I used to work with have had issues since receiving the elephant juice, as I refer to it, all different ages as well, one was instructed to purchase a blood pressure monitor, out of the 6 jabbed people all had high blood pressure, the only one who was the oldest by far, and un jabbed, had perfect BP, coincidence one could ask, or not. The experts are spinning the numbers game saying the unjabbed are a one in fifteen chance of being hospitalized with the virus, and the numbers of double penetrated in hospital, ironically higher,doesn't reflect the true story, I always thought it was ment to keep you out of hospital.

Sad the Wellington protesterss have lost their new showers, underhand tactic by the police, after they were criticizing the supposedly squalor in the camp, good on the protesters for keeping up the good fight for the people who have lost their lively hoods due to the shameful government mandates.

Yes I fear you maybe right

Of course police and defense force way more important than us old commoners, but you never know things may turn later, enough to get my job back, should be for all, and yes an appeal a possibility, let's hope they drop the lot and let everyone get on with life

How can it become rule for them but not the rest, how fair is that, should be across the board tor everyone

That is right, local figures yesterday hospitalize 175 15% un 45% fully cant remember how many halfed and unknown.

They just continue to push people away from the game, and as I've said before it wont take much theses days,.

They good old days, when there was quite a few trainers and horses up and down the coast, these days apparently there's only one on the whole of the coast area,quite sad really, real shame about the hokitika track unused these days, always enjoyed a day out there racing was good, and you were always close to the action, like all the coast tracks.

That day your comments on the replay they were like two yachts travelling at two knots, as they slugged it out,, enjoyed the old one liners in some of your calls, also one day at Oamaru you called high forty, like the boy with the wheelbarrow, got the job in front of him, great to hear you have so many supporters on this site.

Sad state of affairs, always enjoyed Jason's calls, have a few on my sky when he called our horse home at the head of the field, one being on a very very wet winter meeting at wingatui about 5yrs ago, think from memory it was his birthday, very unfair when you give your all to industry and then get pushed aside, plenty of supporters on here, all the best for your future, and thanks for the memories.

At 35$ a stab,they have made their money, imagine how much this has cost the government, to supposedly save their non existent health system, that money spent could have been better spent trying to improve the failing system.

Sounds like a whale of a tail

Very true saying that one, my old uncle used to say that, and when the shit hits the fan in the workplace and they got no staff, vax status be the last thing their mind.

Cheers, no doubt I know its the right decision, be good to have some time out and rest time,
