quite a maiden post

Last i heard is not back and the reasoning made sense.

If only we let the drivers bet

backed into 5 as well

I guess they should have to take something @ 37 maybe the odds to 2K but thats not to say they didn't

do you think they can be compelled to release that information brodie

ponderation going on brodie. you get back in the country without incident man .

Let em back and if they are ultimately found guilty punish them then.

it is a job none the less and it is an opportunity to portray the industry professionally i like listening to rozzo pre race and i find his calls generally fine but i am also watching the race at the same time so a caller is less important to me in a dog race i can cut rozzo some slack

secretly i am with you but it was raised by the one who is "always right" so i had to take it on board

I heard somewhere the track might be too big for chicago bull

Claimer to decide ?

lee pilcher is my guess

you are coming of the long run tonight bloss

That was a rolling, whoaaa, stand for a bit, right, go start aka another Lamb joke start.

Can train a standardbred.

Astute horseman that John Hay.

Under the rules of this and many sites on the internet Long Owner has met the joining criteria. He was like me and all others here able to choose a non de plume. It is what it is. Very very clever people like me can look at your non de plume and posts and work out exactly who you are. What I guess I am saying its the way it goes on here. It is what it is and it brings both good an bad. Aimee and Craig please keep up the tireless work and may you be well rewarded in the coming months. Wish John good luck for tomorrow. PS: Long Owner is clearly not like most of us so please take this into account.

Sheree does go good and someone you would not shy away from backing in any race and one you would consider very seriously in a junior drivers event. Is the information around race programming as much at fault here.

I wonder if George Simon has seen all the details.

Cheers Chief. 2 of my favourite speed trotters of that era. One day I hope to wake up and find the entire 1980 NZ Pacing FFA on YouTube.

Slim Dykman and Scotch Tar were one of many reasons I was excited to be going to Addington Raceway in the late 70's and most of the 80's Tawhai Blue and Black Barry a couple of useful types for Slim. Albert 'Slim' Dykman By Denis Smith, Queensland We are yet again reminded of our own mortality, as another of the light harness craft, have left us, bound for "that big race track in the sky"! The hobbyist, a boy refugee from war torn Europe to New Zealand where he became a farm hand in the dairy industry, later taking on the breaking and education of harness horses and progressing to training and driving. He was in his early 80's at the time of passing. Albert Willem "Slim" Dykmann was a well known identity in NZ prior to coming to Queensland, through the deeds of his star trotter, Scotch Tar. A gelded son of pacing sire, Tarport Coulter, Scotch Tar raced for 8 seasons , starting on 87 occasions for 29 wins and 10 placings, maintaining a high profile among the square gaiters, and banking $140,920 AUD in the process.Slim settled at Ebenezer south of Ipswich and commenced to weave his magic there, first rising to notice through the deeds of Natty Jack, a winner of 20 races on the "old" Southport track. It was, however his skill with mares that bought him fortune here. Top of the tree was the 'iron legged" Happy Haldon starting on 196 occasions for 62 wins 52 placings, sitting death seat and grinding her opposition into the ground, while earning $290,000. Diamond Hunter, with 11 wins under two minute rate from her total of 17, and $71,000, an Australian high point at the time. Then came Hike Along. A massive 32 runs as a 2yo in a total of 60 starts which netted $68,000 from 15 wins and 19 placings. At stud, 11 foals, 7 winners, 4 of which earned in excess of $100,000. Slim Dykman. No dynasty, just the sharp and lasting memory of a man who knew what he was doing, and did it incredibly well!!

is this the insurance claim richard terrence may speaks of in the fast track advert.

P Rd

i am keen to see the track first
