  1. Class, has always been in play re NZ Racing! It looks like 'Ownership' has moved more and more back to a area of the Dominate Owner, off a hundred years or so.! It seems to be a Player today! You first must make the $$$$ elsewhere first! Do you understand what a Sunset Industry is Greg?
  2. more like! where the first Court case starts... odds on it's going to be another case of "and the winner$ were the Lawyer$". again
  3. I've heard they have build a statue of him near by at Stratford!
  4. Back when the stock market was boiling and the lights for night racing were burning! it was a exciting place to be! There had been concerned about weather our camera gair/film would be fit for purpose! it just was! Lots of Press to be had in the Press Room! Which was well stocked with liquor!!! It was a pleasure to be taking photos there! a slow and steady decline since those days! sigh...
  5. leading to a promotion for you???? ?
  6. re Slipper, often I find this is the hardest of the ozzzie G1's to work out... and on top of things a track that will not be suitable for many... a great race to be watching... ps, tiz great to see a young kiwi couple with the #1 in the race!
  7. is it planes netween island they are not keen on? It would be made if CWJ Drove the float North and then couldn;t ride!
  8. lol! i have photos to prove that sort of thing. ...and photos of that days stripes ..?
  9. from the slowlearners club! some of us take a bit longer to learn how to do it than others! If the horse is health and is safe to ride and they pay their bills can they not race?
  10. good to see Kylie Williams getting a G1 placing! a underrated ride! I still can't believe she got that $250 for the win at Wingatui! criminal!
  11. fare enough! sites always run better with self censorship! I have pondered putting a quiz or two together... perhaps a photo a week?
  12. perhaps they spend via 'catering' and $ to get into 'that $pace!'? ummmm.... Not to sure it's that great a idea to be throwing to much shit there way!!! are they not actually 'the presence into the future'? ps. having said all that, as the ''sunset industry' historical part more and more takes hold! more money will be thrown at the 'core of the industry', be it The G1 Clubs! or the core training areas! That's what the M Report was/is all about...
  13. it almost look as if he took a bit of a beating up! once the race got to the serious stage! good to hear the trainer say that the horse had come through it all well! will Lane now be jumping off?
  14. the smart money bet against that!!!
  15. 1.03 and firming. It's interesting to see how things are going back a century, re Ownership! Again becoming the domain of 'vanity projects' for wealthy cashed up members of the bourgeoisie! Mostly framed around 'breeding' tax breaks etc! Winnie has delivered well there!
  16. and even less staff for riding track work! hence Harness is a bigger game in the deep south!
  17. you have me down to a t..... and it can be rather frustrating attempting to base any bet 'on looks/presentation' etc when the pictures presented don't allow you to actually see all the horses in a race!
  18. Sadly you have summed it 'the politics' well! Interestingly! I bet! 1.05 all the key players for say last 25 years have been right wingers. The sensible ones understand what it means re Sunset Industry! (hence! the lack of effort historically from the Nats) others! are happy to pick up 'a dead cat', and can be heard (after throwing it down on the ground) "Did you see in bounce!!!" "There's still more life in it!"
  19. where on the list should it be? ? ps, are you as bellicose in person as you present on here!!!
  20. great picture coming through... lol! no sound though...
  21. I can't help but to throw in a Sneer!!!!! directed at the committee of this club! Would there be a more myopic club in the county!!! Note the crowd! or lack of it! You have reaped what you have sowed!
  22. a small technical thing: if you want to break anyone's post into smaller bits, what you need to do is to go to the start of where you want to quote, Highlight the text you to quote, that will then give you the option to click 'quote this'...
  23. i love punting into the small fields... so much easier... ?
