Listen up young fella -Avondale was once a sea of mud and Ellerslie well drained and quite o k.-now reversed
Avondale , like all big tracks, suits frontrunners [think Craddock !]
Avondale costs around $700k per annum, they survive by rents received.
Yes Freda, 2000m not uncommon.
Musty -imo times are best ignored because there is no way you can compare track conditions or track configuration -in your comparison that Dundeal pony would have blitzed our Easter field.
Michael and Sheldon both quoted the English Grand National winner as being fifteen point two hands, if we wish to get decimal he is fifteen point 5. Fifteen two being 15 hands[4 inches] plus 2 inches
Pedantic ? possibly, but these guys are paid professionals [lol]
And as a note of their further brilliance they sent me an email at 3-01 pm TODAY inviting bets on races one and two TODAY -even young Thomas would enjoy betting a few hours after the races had been run.
Desperate to halt a turnover decline the Tab has come up with a new trick -get paid out on your win bet even if it comes second. I note they have Trudi Thompson down to ride in the second at Te Aroha -our Trudes has been called all sorts of names but this is a new one.
anz bloodstock news is an interesting daily email -it obviously has to rely on heavy advertising. Perhaps a NZ based similar enterprise could succeed. It does not cover fields/form, just items of general interest.
I just figured that such are the vagaries of racing and picking winners that a non punter like yourself would front up with a show. If Thomas is as useless at picking them as you say then any tyro must beat him.
