  1. Don't know that much about breeding, but Winx is nicely bred yes? Therefore more likely to leave something half decent
  2. Imagine if she had her final race at Flemington! That's where the Sydney tracks suffer.
  3. Competition wise it's boring, but the occasion won't be.
  4. And rightfully so. Don't take the multi if you are going to cash out and lose value.
  5. I can't label a horse the "best ever" until they've raced against the cream of the current crop, however, to the eye, she's clearly one of the best ever.

    You guys take forums way too seriously. Lighten up - there's more important things to do with your time. Spend it showing passion, not trying to bring each other down.
  7. It'll be another snoozefest of a contest, but the occasion will help. Hartnell couldn't beat Dreamforce, so how on earth will he beat Winx?
  8. Did I hear Murtha say that Santa Ana Lane has always been close in Group 1's but never really got the job done? It was something along those lines and he was rightfully put into his place. Happy to be proven wrong, but if you don't know basic information about the game, why are you hosting a show?

    You all poke the bear and then cry when he does return fire. Take the good points of his posts and forget about the stuff in between. His posts take some deciphering but he does make valid points, yet... the same members continue to bring up the same arguments and derail the threads.
  10. Posts were made under my account by Leo - that's why I never returned.
  11. But you're contributing to that Barry. With the way you're acting, it's no better...
  12. It got considerably worse these last couple of months, but that didn't deter him. He was still watching races and getting annoyed over poor riding
  13. If you want me to pass on messages throughout the week, let me know.
  14. What would you think the price of sale would be? I heard through the grapevine that Brendan Lindsay was possible interested
  15. I wonder if the movie shows how childish she acted after the race? And how posing for magazines greatly affected her professionalism with trainers.
  16. Yeah, you could be right
  17. I heard he has passed away? But can't find any official report.
  18. It all comes down to affiliates. Because the TAB won't allow offshore bookmaker advertising in New Zealand - and the NZ TAB doesn't run an affiliate scheme (which is mind boggling) - then there's no way they can make substantial money.
  19. From memory there were only around 4 people working in the office and then a couple working as printers. The former boss, who has since passed away, was essentially keeping it running because of passion more than anything else.
  20. Sad to hear - that's where I first started. Presumably they're staying online? No real need for a newspaper anyone. If you're not using a computer, you're not making them much money.
  21. To be fair to Thomas, it's usually Barry that chimes in with a smart ass comment, which in turn, kicks off the same drivel we've heard from both on countless occasions.
  22. Singapore racing is sub-par, so Bakar will fit in.
  23. Any laughter on that show and also the preview show is forced. In Australia, it comes naturally because they're quality characters who don't take themselves too seriously.. yet... they're much more professional than our lot. It's a dim studio setting, dim hosts and not a professional punter in sight - that goes for the preview show (can't even remember its name, that's how bad it is)
  24. It's painful to watch. The tension, awkwardness and overall feel of the show makes me want to never watch NZ racing again.
  25. More snowflake culture?... no thanks
