    The HRNZ panel that constructed this new calendar shaped it so this did NOT happen. Michael House, the main architect, pushed to have open class racing in one centre at any one time of the year to avoide this. Canterbury August - November Southland/Otago - December/January North - February - May. But for whatever reason, HRNZ's board, probably at the desire of the ATC, only partially agreed to it. All the open horses should be in Southland for the Invercargill Cup then Central Otago Cup at present.

    Easy to call them hopeless but I don't think this is a common occurence. Only mugs would bet the day before anyway.

    Brodie can you pull the plug on your computer please then throw it in the Avon River.

    Bro your refusal to accept anyone ever does anything wrong is quite disconcerting. You seem to have a real chip on your shoulder with authority figures. That is clear nd evident.

    Why would they run 8 x 5 horse fields Brodie? Have you been on the crank again? The Manawatu club may not have huge numbers or large turnover but the return on investment (ie the profit from each race versus what HRNZ fund the meeting) to the industry is MILES better than Auckland.

    The Sapere Report suggested getting rid of Ascot Park and with good reason.

    Alta Debonair died of a burst aorta. His full brother Warhol did also. And half-brother Alta Las Vegas. I think it is safe to say that, at least in this case, that is was a case of being genetically pre-disposed rather than something nefarious.

    How many times do we have to ask you to refrain from smoking drugs before posting on here, Brodie? Dexter had over 4300 New Zealand drives as a junior for 742 winners. Dalgety has had 127 drives in about 13 months. Ludicrous to even try and compare them.

    'not trying' isn't it a fair claim to make. He's 67 now and I think he's just naturally lost his nerve. The great Maurice Holmes had retired (mandatory) by this age. It's only going to get worse has he pushes towards 70. Guys like Z Butcher and A Poutama are less than half his age.

    Actually, now that I think about it, you are right. The ATC should bowl over the three towers they have just built at the top half of the straight, taking 7 yesrs and plunging them 200+ million in debt. Close the supermarket and many businesses now paying rent. Build a new grandstand there instead. Re design and camber the track, move the stables and float bay, re measure everything etc etc etc I can't believe I am even having to type this. I'm sure Westpac will loan them another $50m on top of the $100m they still owe.

    Well it happened. That tinfoil hat has destroyed your brain completely.

    It's his second Group 1 win actually. But to underline your point Global Flight also won a G1 a few weeks ago.

    We well see who is right and who is telling half-truths. At least 10 people were represented in Court on Friday and the next key date, of three, is July 29. Then August 26, then September 9.
  14. Spatchcock
    You understand wrong. And lets see what the RIB do once the court stuff is out of the way. Everyone knows the RIB prosecution is what was always going to matter.
  15. Spatchcock
    I'll add this one to the scrapbook for later.
  16. Spatchcock
    What's your source for this? Lawyers for those charged appeared in court on Friday. Perhaps a couple were thrown out? I'm not sure. But certainly not all, or even a majority. The judge set a date of September 9 for a pre-trial callover.
  17. Spatchcock
    but why would you take out Manawatu stats?
  18. Spatchcock
    That's what it's been like in Aussie forever and a day
  19. Spatchcock
    More good work from you, Spaz. A winner can't be put out if the effected horse (Pulled Up) isn't going to be promoted to a dividend-bearing finishing position.

    then how on earth can you accurately comment on the attendance?

    delete this thread and save yourself further embarrassment.
  23. Spatchcock
    do your form it had been going big races
  24. Spatchcock
    Brodie I heard you did a pretty good Macarena. Ps Move your Kombi or it's going to get towed and impounded.
  25. Spatchcock
    The more you talk on this, the sillier you sound.
