it did lose any momentum?

Hastings lasted... sort of ps, as I have previously, those early L/O meetings were so much fun! fell privileged to have been on course see quite a few!!! one of those meetings, a photo I took was used in https://www.google.com/search?q=Taperstry+of+the+Turf&rlz=1C1CHBF_enNZ1138NZ1138&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Hastings! So Important in the Spring.. up until the last few season perhaps the most sucessful organic new thing to come into being in the last 40 years.. I really enjoyed working there in the early 90's! Top Horse! Great Betting races! Then the horse went over the ditch and were successful! I wonder how many of the Spring G1's will be given back to them?

pardon!

The Trough$ were at their fullest in the mid 80's! Racing then reflected the actual stakes to betting ratios! The spreads that were available to some on any race day were rather impressive! The Press Room would be restocked for Every Meeting! Then the big share market crash in Oct '87. It played out very much so in the Racing Industry. Since then their has been a continue decline.. will Entain prove to be a Dead Cat Bounce? or are they laying new foundation transformative progressive change into the future? We be watching that be played out in real time!

4 Gelding's, 7 Fillies, no Colts. Talking to JG the other day "She is a very good filly"

i did it too it was Large, very large indeed... HUGE even!

blowing the photo up, I could not see a DOT between the 5 and 3

16 NOMS (so far) highest rating 78, Not a strong field? 2 colts, 12 geldings, 2 fillies Road To Paris was given to me as a long term tip, needs to find some better racing manners at the end of the race! Should be staying the extra distance and I can see it winning

Sport + 53% Gallops + 15%

A interesting day was had! The challenging weather in the lead up was not as bad as suggested! On the day the weather improved into a hot Taieri Plans day! The course was very much divided by 'class', reflected in the different 'strap tie' that one was required to have on! One security lady got rather perplexed that Correct I do NOT have any Id on me! A wad of cash! Yes. sigh, rather obvious that I be over 20 now!!! One thing I always do, if I am ever any 'event' where there is a lot of Security present! I like to track down the 'top dog', usually chatting to them as the day goes along! There were a few "important peoples that normally don't have to present badges being asked Ever Time! Was amusing to watch happening later in the day, the Champaign had been flowing well all day! It will be interest to see how the betting stacks up? As I thought, many races were hard to be betting into!! A couple of 'Southland friends' where rather excited by the dividends for their Winners! Personally, two bets were had! Both did the decent thing! One bet ticket was was given to Mrs, payment for the 560 photos she took! I took 1056. My fitness watch said I walked 8.3 ks.. and burnt enough energy to have run two marathons!! another reason for me leaving racing...

weather lead up actually looks like some summer weather!!! would it be to much to hope for a 'good' track

they had a fashion in the field event! I recon I could have placed!!! talking flash orange, I have a pair of Versace pants! was thinking of wearing, but... ps, this fella was unplaced..
