The winning post was moved some years ago, after a melee at the gallops, one horse went over the outside fence and headed out the gate and off to blacks point, gold dust was its name, I think, in my opinion, it was nothing to do with the winning post where it was, but I reckon the rider dropped the hand and didn't steer the horse around the corner, kept drifting, and over the fence it went, I other fell as well, may have been a nyhan trained horse, post was shifted back some meters, was always a tricky angle, but now looks unreal, was pleased sods law got the win as it did go a very good race at Westport and dragged me out of a punting hole. Like the Geddes runners, good grass track trainers. Mogul couldn't do it this time around, but was good to get the 40s he paid at the xmas meeting.

Well said, and I agree totally, why didn't they suspend her instead, 200 pingers is alot to a young girl trying her best, they need to be encouraged, and without her and kendra gill they may not have had the numbers for the teal race, these two girls drive for their families, and don't get the opportunities some others do, stipes for God sake show some leniency for these partimers, would love to see them both pick up a win along the way, not totally sure, but I think I backed Mr S Clarkes last winner a few years ago, tinted field, but do stand to be corrected, he may have had one since. Good luck to both girls, their time will come.

Agree on all counts, what's the point of fining these mostly part time drivers who get limited chances, why not a warning. Great grass track racing, and always a roughie or two if you can find them, and old friend always backed the 1 draw, always maintained if they could get a trail, no matter what their form read, with a good run would get the passing lane .He has had some big divs over the years.

Very true, they showed a shortened clip of it amongst other highlights.

See the junior that drove nadira franco got a 200 fine for whip over use, miserable buggers, don't think she has ever driven winner yet, from limited opportunities, stipes just to tough, thought sonic reign was a place show until the driver took him off the rails and locked wheels and checked a few others, she is out till end of the month. He was paying big money and had a trail the trip, never mind a good days racing.

Draw didn't help her chances, didn't get much luck either.

Only on the coast how ever could one forget this, Reon's commentary was just as great, especially when he said he was down to a walk, and then to a crawl, adding a break in as well, classic, be great to view it again, someone must have it.

Lucky to get a few collects today, none of which I mentioned last night, nadira franco liked that 27s my reasoning was drawn on the fence and may get a soft run, and sods law got me out in the last, otherwise I would have had a shocker.

Used to be an old grinding type myself, now I would rather have a cup of tea, after all it lasts longer. Just put my rough multi on, the returns look super, but the chances are slim.

Like a few ruff ones, muscle pat, sonic reign mogul, predicting a long day on the punt for me.

Very slow to load, I find

Given the all clear in todays stipes report.

Grassroots racing is where it all started, can't understand why they would want to take it away, for me it has much more appeal than the snooty metropolitan racing, with totally different atmosphere, very sad times, but good on them for putting up a fight, let's hope sanity prevails.

Agree with you, even the staying races follow the same pattern.

Looks like they have upgraded their advertising hoardings over there, have not seen any there before.

I agree with brodie, didn't think it was over excessive, the wife given me more whip than that, only when I have my leather undies on.

Old story, hammer the battlers, and pussyfoot around the rest, almosting telling them to hang up the reins, I guess there will, come a time when they will walk away.

Ah Cee Dee and Dabeer zaheer a couple more from some years ago.

Which of the other betting sites are more user friendly.

Fair call, mind you he did ride horse some time back, never on the track, 3 wide, the trip with big weight on a heavy track, hence to say where he finished, and the feedback, from stipes report was, did handle conditions, needless to say, horse backed up a week later, same track and conditions, different rider, and wins, new rider said he relished conditions, that certainly had me beat, funny to say the horse preformed his best in those conditions there after. Would you believe me.

Yep, those races aren't cheap to enter that's for sure, interesting she started considering she don't go a yard in it, mind you, I've have heard that old chestnut many times over my life time, so don't let it scare me off a punt, that's for sure.

Can't believe you wouldn't back her in a group race, even a small bet. Times must be tough there in reefton.

Thought she went a very good race, from a wide draw, you can never write them off, good place price to, hope you got plenty.
