I stuck to my knitting! One bet for me! Vegas Queen! loved seeing the yellow&black $$$ flooding in! I held off and bet! then bet again when she drifted! Nice Mare, well place and ridden! with thanks!

Seven years since the passing of John Tannehill.

Heavy rain now predicted to arrive at 5pm..

actually, they will be the races I give the most study to.

what a interesting fella he was! ps, re AK weather, Massive rain predicted for around 4pm...

how time flies!

interesting question! a comment that one jockey made to me once "The Gentleman of the Jockeys Room".

Just had a quick look at all the odds for the day... Not one fav from Team Orange! In the WFA Legarto has been backed, on that rain arriving? To my eye, she looked just that wee bit pretty, I noted she should improve on that run... tad thin though now at 4.40

For the horse racing meeting on Boxing Day in Auckland, the weather from 12 PM to 5 PM is expected to be **cloudy with a high chance of rain developing in the early afternoon**. You should plan for wet conditions. ### 📅 Hourly Forecast for 12 PM to 5 PM Based on the most detailed forecast available, here is the expected weather for Friday, December 26th: | Time | Temperature (°C) | Condition | Chance of Rain | Expected Rainfall | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **12 PM** | 24° | Cloudy | 30% | Trace | | **1 PM** | 22° | Rain | **100%** | 3.2 mm | | **2 PM** | 22° | Rain | **100%** | 5.6 mm | | **3 PM** | 22° | Showers | 90% | 1.3 mm | | **4 PM** | 22° | Showers | 90% | 1.0 mm | | **5 PM** | 21° | Showers | 90% | 0.6 mm | ### 🌤️ Overall Day Summary & What to Expect The general forecast for Auckland on Friday confirms the afternoon will be **cloudy with breezy winds**. * **Weather**: The morning may start dry, but **rain is highly likely to move in during the afternoon**. Other forecasts also mention "a couple of showers" for the day. * **Temperature**: Warm, with highs around **21-24°C** during the event. * **Wind**: Expect **breezy West to Southwest winds**, which could be noticeable in open areas like a racetrack. ### 💡 Practical Tips for Your Day Given this forecast, here are a few suggestions: * **Essential Gear**: Bring a **waterproof jacket or poncho**. An umbrella is also a good idea, but be mindful of wind and other racegoers. * **Footwear**: Wear **closed-toe shoes with good grip**, as the grass areas may become wet and slippery. * **Layering**: Dress in layers. While it will be warm, the breeze and potential rain can make it feel cooler. I hope this detailed forecast helps you plan for the races. Would you like me to check the weather for a specific racetrack location, such as Ellerslie or Pukekohe Park, for more localized information?

I believe the last time I was on that course was 1974! sleep two nights in the Grandstand! Doh! can't recall any winners from that meeting!

Sigh, speaking wearing a punters hat! perhaps #1 pet HATE, Rain on the day... "Cloudy, then a period of rain with heavy falls in the afternoon. Northerlies, turning westerly in the evening."

well that has got my imagination going!!!

Nicci posted that fact up recently, hence in the public domain... As you know (?)I set up CWJ's Fanpage, hence over the last few years I get asked rather a lot, "how is Chris doing.." I had a decent catch up with CWJ earlier this year, where he shared, how things were going! Well! "other' than a serious nagging injury, one that has stubbily not heal well enough to ride the likes of fast work! Back then he didn't feel the need to go public, Nicci did that recently.

As mentioned, still on acc...

lol! I could share some stories about when they were working on that sort of thing!!!!!!!! happy to report I still hold a clean card!

100 in work at Matamata, ...

never tried the stuff myself! last thing I need is something to make me go faster!

tickets are on sale now...

looks like CS is hard marking today! sigh, I be to lazy to go upstairs and look up who rode J in that NI Chal race? for some reason BP Thompson?

a very fast two year from 50+ years ago! Did the Saunders train her?

Loader CWJ won 5 on him, including two D1's

it was hard to get a bet on in AU....

Also with the Fillies! amongst them 4 Oaks!
