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!

YES, for both! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Melbourne_Cup

Talking race tracks, early '70's, Addington, there was ONE public telephone box on course, a long line would be formed for most of the meeting! most trying to ring their bookie! ps. (blush) we still have a landline!

you be way more generous that I could ever be!!! for some! I say "a pox on their testes!"

technically No, due to his current ACC status! ps, others have been included while still riding

ps, same stake as 30 years ago?

I don't have a clue about 'the form', will attempt a look, to see if anything 'takes my eye'. ps. it is in the same approx time frame as the Fight (not) of The Century! <- many are Hoping for a Smart Mouth getting seriously Knocked Out!

wow! rather impressive!

Actually I have respect for the effort that he puts in! Both into this site and to the effort to better educate himself about The Industry! At times does he come across a tad stern? snappish even! In the end, each to their own... As always, I only visit this site re racing (about to crank up me FB acc for my big run at retirement) and find 'biting my tongue' is a approach I often take! Isn't it mostly meant to be a bit of Fun! ...

5th? the other 4? Ellerslie, Trentham, Te Rapa, Riccarton. what be Wingatui? Awapuni?

tick... otherwise, warts and all! thanks for the effort you put in!

1975, CHCH, there was a thriving underworld of local Bookmaker$. One being us kids 'local hero', he drove the Biggest Car! and gave out cash for thingimiss... the one I bet with gave a 5% rebate on all bets! I think one of the house rules pay out might have only been 15/5? Later late 80's, CD, Most Pubs still had one working! I was running a nice little betting club, me and a couple of jocks! We had to stop betting with one! Cos he went out and laid off on Tote! We stop using him! Did get a nice result via him!! we Feed him some 'horse info' via a 3 rd party,.. sent the word we were having a bet! he Bit! He talked it up! then Backed his 'info' horse into Fav! Ours came home, under a wet sail! via a ride that was given "ride of the day".. it all seem to easy! ps, in 1975 the NZ Working Class had a Lot more disposable income than today!
