Happy Sunrise

The Fixer at 10ff and 2.80ff Some people might jump at that but can't be its turn just yet?

No need, the winning stakes for the races are underneath the threshold for police supervision. Harness racing stakes are lumped in with firewood, chocolate, meat and other things.

Wonder where both Aussies are domiciled.

How is this for domination? Just 2 starters from NZ who are not in the All Stars. Will still be a good race but it will be a miracle if a non Purdon runner wins. Interesting Oscar is in the lower grade trot and Chase Auckland is off the unruly....genius call in my book ?

Crikey, how did you survive on RC?

Based on what draws?

I will need to have a think about it. The scores will probably be in multiples of 3 for most of the game...and an Owen Farrell headshot at the 63rd minute could make the game more open ?

No need. There is no way Wales would beat NZ on that performance last night. They kicked and kicked, if they did that against NZ they would get torn apart.

Probably true but with the classifying of the NZ V England semi as a 'final' then the let down the next week could leave either team vulnerable.

Not on their performance last night. Lucky leeks.

Did you punt it in from 51?

How many years did you get, Mumbles?

Agree. And what is worse they are crapping on about the disrespect to the Haka. I need a bucket when they get so precious about it. The Irish etc can do whatever they want. No wonder the world gets sick to death of the Haka. As for the Irish it is a lot like horse betting when looking at the rugby. The reality that was ignored pre game was Ireland were in decline. They had leaked 50 odd points to England, lost to Japan and had 'played well' against Samoa who are rubbish. Bit like those false favourites who are made short in the odds by the public due to what they perceive instead of reality.. England on the other hand have pace to burn in the outsides, young up and comers in the loosies , a block buster in Tuilagi and a hard nose in Farrell. The English were the best players in the Lions in NZ and have experience to match NZ. It will be close and a great game. Very much in the balance. Ireland and Australia were never going to win 3 tough games in a row to win the World Cup as they are brittle. Wales and South Africa are the only 2 other teams who could do 3 in a row.

Can you back the English this week too please? Maybe you can ask for a tax deduction from the government since you saving the country millions in mental health and productivity costs each week. ?

He lives another day but will sweat another nervous week with a decent English team coming into view.

He should. Seemingly no restrictions for a two horse race. Odds up early too.

Oscar might depart to make room for Enhance Your Calm.

He has big balls doesn't he. So Brave.

And this high tackle mess has turned rugby players into soccer players with their moaning and theatrics to draw attention to any suspect tackle.

Confident tonight, Flag?

As soon as Greg O'Connor said there were bets on Ultimate Sniper my antenna went up. I watched the race accordingly. Luckily it panned out for the sniper despite the close finish,

You were very right but I think stand out is almost an understatement..!! He appears to have the trotting ranks at his mercy in my opinion and will go down as a great. I went back to see the article that was written by Mick G about his sale. If he is part owned by a US based trainer it would seem likely he is going to end up over there in the near future after cleaning up here to enhance his stallion credentials. Seems logical to me. Would this be his last season in NZ? One of New Zealand’s most promising trotters has been bought by one of the legends of the industry just days out from the Harness Jewels. Which means Oscar Bonavena will join the All Stars army for Saturday’s massive meeting at Cambridge. After having looked an outstanding talent in just two start for trainer Phil Williamson the two-year-old colt was sold to former Kiwi now US-based trainer Chris Ryder and the godfather of New Zealand harness racing Roy Purdon.

When I noticed it last night they had 3 races up ready to go. Allowed you to multi them too. I thought that was inviting.

I have never even realised.?

Thought they were gone a long time ago due to losing too much money for the TAB?
