  1. who the fuck is Raymond ? or Alice for that matter ?
  2. Currently the Millennium of the Rabbit
  3. Did you find much changed with with the move to decimal currency ?
  4. Pity Radio Trackside wasn't around in Nat Lobells day
  5. Jason and Davey Mac well worth the price of admission. And that day at Waikouaiti was pure GOLD. The current rabble puts me to sleep on the couch.
  6. Benjamin flavour of the moment for fashionista and very promising trainer.
  7. probably Whilst I am not Bradman I hear there is a fella playing and missing and still to get off the mark.
  8. somewhat presumptuous on their part
  9. against stiff opposition too Riders in the Stand There’s some that ride the Robbo style, and bump at every stride; While others sit a long way back, to get a longer ride. There’s some that ride as sailors do, with legs, and arms, and teeth; And some that ride the horse’s neck, and some ride underneath. But all the finest horsemen out—the men to Beat the Band— You’ll find amongst the crowd that ride their races in the Stand. They’ll say “He had the race in hand, and lost it in the straight.” They’ll know how Godby came too soon, and Barden came too late They’ll say Chevalley lost his nerve, and Regan lost his head; They’ll tell how one was “livened up” and something else was “dead”— In fact, the race was never run on sea, or sky, or land, But what you’d get it better done by riders in the Stand. The rule holds good in everything in life’s uncertain fight; You’ll find the winner can’t go wrong, the loser can’t go right. You ride a slashing race, and lose—by one and all you’re banned! Ride like a bag of flour, and win—they’ll cheer you in the Stand
  10. Scots Wha Hae fella ?
  11. TREACHEROUS REIGN - held up throughout the run home. Driver B Mangos reported that he did not activate the deafeners as a result. An investigation was opened and adjourned into the manner in which Mr Mangos drove rounding the bend after the finish.
  12. It is hard to fathom the recent responses from Jamie MacKinnon. He seems determined to be both an unstoppable force and an unmovable object. Awkward Prat if I am donning my extremely kind cap.
  13. No idea re Steve Little but I fondly remember his good trotter Troppo, Vienna Charm who didn't mind 2 miles or the grass and Armbro Play which ran 2nd to Armalight in the Oaks. Armbro Play left excellent trotter Bellam
  14. I think it was Kumeu that did that on course only back in the day.
  15. I am thinking the major dailies no longer publish the total turnover figure on a Monday morning. Cyril "Darkie" Howard father of Murray was a prolific seller of "tote tickets" back in the day.
  16. gate speed is a great asset
  17. Is Mrs Brodster the CFO of Brodster Inc ?
  18. Won the Fashion contest. $20 Black Tulip voucher.
  19. Big Idea may have been in his prime back then.
