Happy Sunrise

Alexy (OC) U May Cullect (C7) Henry Hubert (C8) Alexy is a lock for the Cup. 😂

Though Self Assured is the best horse in the market you would be brave to back him in a stand even now.

No.

Hard to see The Fixer and U May Cullect making it to the Tuesday. They will be dropping like flies soon, AG's the first one gone already. There could be more northerners in the Cup than southerners! As an aside, Classie Brigade handing to Henry Hubert? What would possess John Dunn to do that?

To annoy the hell out of Brodie.

I would doubt it very much but the Greyhounds are making life tough for themselves with the another meeting abandoned. How amateur is that?

And so he should.

Given your name, I hope you are not studying Political Science at Otago University. Not sure which one of the above comments is more bizarre but I think you out do both of them.

You will be talking to yourself if you post crap like this.

Who do you like at your track tomorrow? Got a winner?

It will be just the same. How could it not be? Same for Timaru. I see they have put down a new track at some cost I imagine. Forbury and Timaru, plus Orari have been given a reprieve but for how long?

Looking forward to Forbury tomorrow?

That is a good question. Are Forbury having to meet turnover figures? Hard to do when people can't bet what they want. Maybe the turnover figure should include the amounts refused by the TAB to get a real indication of turnover.

You are very kind thinking the 'suits' had a theory. They just chuck dates on a calendar each year and hope for the best.

After the review earlier in the year which will be reviewed with another review by 3 business consultants the 'plan'will be revealed and no doubt reviewed.

Very disappointing. I break all the time.

Dear Dougie, It is going to be a wild day in the wind at the Mot, especially now all the trees are gone! Here is a guaranteed winner right up until the start of the race. I have gone for Aristocrat in Race 2 at 11 and 3.50. It has been going races at Addington and then ran what I thought was a really good race at Methven after sitting parked for the majority. Gutsy effort considering the track. It is off the unruly but began like a bullet at Methven. Very good each way bet in my book

No money came for it when I backed it at Methven but it opened at 7 today and got backed in. Tomorrow could be the day.

You are very correct. I like how there was a wide ranging review which has been followed by regional reviews. Farce (my only word to describe all of this)

Anybody want to pick the holes in this article? Geraldine rapt with reprieve 25 September 2020 , News The Geraldine Trotting Club says it is determined to make the most of the decision allowing it to host a meeting at its Orari course in November. As part of a wide-ranging review into racetracks around the country Orari was originally left without a meeting at its home track in the 2020-21 season, with their one and only meeting to be transferred to Methven. Now, TAB NZ has agreed that the Geraldine Trotting Club, which is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year, can host a meeting after all. The Christmas at the Races meeting will be held on November 28. “It’s a chance to redeem ourselves,” says Geraldine TC president Mark Weaver, “ we want a good crowd, good turnover and everyone to have a relaxing fun time.” “And we are hoping that Mother Nature will play her part.” Weaver says the feedback to the decision has been very encouraging. The meeting will be subject to a review that will determine its future. "It’s our one chance," Weaver says. As well as the 150th milestone the meeting will also be the first since the death of club stalwart and commentator Lochie Marshall. He died in March after a battle with leukaemia. “We are keen to honour him with a race, and it would have to be a trot.” From 1992 - 2019 Marshall only trained trotters, and among his 13 winners (196 starts) Missie Castleton was the square-gaiter he was most associated with (6 wins from 81 starts).

Rusty has probably slapped himself into tomorrow....

But that would require real effort and time and the excuse would would be they don't have the resources they used to or they working their way back into the show as they were off air so long. The biggest problem is it is a monopoly. No one criticizes HRNZ or the TAB because they are all in it together. These people are not prepared to stand up for the industry and are just the rah rah boys. Cushy.

Twilight Bromac is in the weakest race it has faced. Place money not bad.

Me too! Any idea what it is Dougie?!

Beyond Galah? I disagree.😂
