    Thanks for Maths, I guess overseas travel wouldn't be cheap either, transportation to the lucky country, but that's a tidy return, not to mention the excitement along the way.

    Think it was I that mentioned the return of jack

    Would be interesting to know what a 5 percent shareholder, would walk away with after all training travel and fees have been deducted.

    Maybe some are out for the winter break.

    That time of the year, the return of Jack frost,

    Yep, be interesting to see if she gets in foal firstly, and secondly whether she leaves any winners,great ride for the owners, wonder if they get a share of the sale price, she has been a great mare by our standards, and wish her a happy retirement.

    To dry, to wet, what next to short or to long for most.

    Interesting revenue and donations given to other various charities, are put into to a national fund, so I guess it's a watch this space.

    Old yarn from many years ago about a favourite that never fired, Stipes questioned the rider on his lack of vigour, to which he replied, no use in both of us getting tired.

    Fields were good, only down side for me was missing out on gobuyit,waiting for the late change on divs but the delay caught me out,a four win horse wet tracker and good rider on, 51s fixed.

    Everyone loves a pie or two, a golf ball of fat in every pie, that's where the flavour is.

    Anyone recall the surprise trooper race call from reon at reefton trots many years ago, horse was leading by near half a lap, up the straight he was down to a walk, then down to a crawl and then broke, got second or third from memory, but was a hilarious, someone maybe able to get audio of it.

    Interesting I looked at a first starter in a race in Japan about a fortnight ago, didn't back it worst luck, paid 16s tote but was over 100 fixed odds strangely enough.

    Impressive win by attishu yesterday, but she would have been a expensive purchase, whale song impressive to, great ride from from the apprentice to cut the inside, fortune favours the brave, and a modest purchase from memory, I guess at the end of the day, every win is special whether it's a maiden or a bigger race, most of us are in it for the passion, and the rest is irrelevant in my book, last one I had an interest in won 7 races and every win was gold to me, still have the photos to reminisce, these days just battling to get one to the races, nothing a given in this game.

    To long for for most of them,

    Maybe a name change to Luna la rosa, sounds like she's all at sea.

    Can recall going to the gallops there, in the late 80s, nice venue, and had a couple of jumping races to, bloody shame these small club lose their identity when shifting to another venue, only the staunch racing enthusiast will bother to travel out of the district to attend, where the casual race goer wont give them a thought sad really, and the waste of a good facilities, especially after the big upgrade they done.
