  1. That pic brings back memories of when I used to do a bit of public speaking Apparently there is a technique that I never got the hang of
  2. Was wondering how long it would take for someone to put that spin on it
  3. I think you'll find the site owner steered clear of any name with the word race in to avoid any possibility of legal action
  4. http://www.nzracing.co.nz/OnHorseFiles/Downloads/Turnover Report to 29 Apr 2018.pdf
  5. There are probably a lot of very wise, supposed pale, stale males in the Racing industry. New ideas and new young blood are great, but don't demean and denigrate the many that have come before, who by the very fact that they have built the industry over many years, must be old A nice blend of youth and experience is best
  6. The vastly reduced need for a moderator, with a site that is professionally and correctly run. Sort of made yourself redundant Dougie, well at least as a moderator. Plenty of time then to market and promote BOAY
  7. Out of respect for PJ, let's leave him to make that decision Clearly it will not be even a consideration until some time after the current comp finishes on Saturday Sorry Pete just read your post in context No that is not the hopeful earth shattering event I was referring to
  8. Michael Pitman is advertising shares in 3 horses on this site
  9. Johnny Lincoln squeezed badly, next start? http://www.nzracing.co.nz/Common/SystemTemplates/Modal/Video.aspx?v=http%3a%2f%2fwww.racingreplays.co.nz%2fmedia%2f201805%2f20180506WANG09_BB.mp4&i=%2fCommon%2fImage.ashx%3fw%3d720%26h%3d400%26a%3d1%26o%3d1%26bg%3deeeeee%26p%3dhttp%3a%2f%2fwww.racingreplays.co.nz%2fmedia%2f201805%2f20180506WANG09_BB.jpg&r=Race+9+-+RIVER+CITY+CABS+1600&s=http://www.nzracing.co.nz/Common/SystemTemplates/Modal/Video.aspx?v=http%3a%2f%2fwww.racingreplays.co.nz%2fmedia%2f201805%2f20180506WANG09_BB.mp4
  10. Has to win the Preakness and Belmont to be called great Some of the horses in opposition may have been inconvenienced by the slushy track at Churchill Downs.
  11. Probably concern in the camp that slowly but surely BOAY is gaining more and more each week, and there is not a lot they can do about it, because this site is superior in every feature, and unless they spend quite a bit of money on things other than comps, such as maintenance and marketing, that is not going to change. Scooby is even thanking people for entering into his comp, the numbers of which were well down yesterday. It is very hopeful that an earth shattering event will occur on BOAY this week, so watch this space
  12. Watched it on Trackside and then switched to ESPN, and the picture definition was light years better. What was that all about?
  13. Jumps at 10.42 this morning Mendelssohn, aiming to be the first overseas trained winner This video brings back visions of Secretariat's Belmont Stakes win
  14. Understatement of the year NM "he’s got a heart the size of a caraway seed and he faints when he sees the wining post" "I cannot forgive anyone who’d pick Tom Melbourne ( should be Tom Tasmania cos that’s where the professional loser belongs ) " "Go Kimmy, give Tom the loser" The connections of some of these horses that he bags(Kawi was another), must still be laughing at the tag he gives himself Champion of racing's footsoldier
  15. You're becoming the resident comedian NM, in a very nice and witty way of course
  16. And with a south westerly wind blowing and when the race is run in a month ending in 'y' Sorry couldn't resist
  17. He couldn't be beaten, just equalled Nice tipping though Dark one, at least you got some return
  18. Including Blackbookers, right down the bottom of the page now
  19. About 40% of the races were maidens or R64, both of which seem to have the same stake of 27,200?? What were the crowd numbers over the 3 days
  20. Wow Wally, you sound well connected I did a quick tally, and approx 2 mil of stakes on offer over the 3 days. That puts it on a par with NZ's biggest carnivals, for a place that many in NZ think of as a minor racing operation
