Tragedy Beat

Oh dear.

Hawera is by far the best and NP has always been a dump. Tinsley refused to ride there. Theyve been given a lot of money to put in that irrigation system. I just hope its not going to jinx it like every other track that gets told/asked to do so. Im still super confident no one will find another track in NZ that beats Hawera for the criteria I posted before.

Good old Hawera saves the day yet again. It must be the best track in NZ.....and before you choke on your sausage roll, its ALWAYS been highly regarded, it has never had a meeting called off after Race 1 from memory, and it has stood the test of time while others around the country have died or are in constant need of maintenance. Find me another course that can boast those credentials.

Would love to see the interview. Moss is an amazing horse woman. I bet her strike rate is the envy of so many trainers (and owners!). Good on her for finding another good horse.

How is Southland RC not on a shortlist?? A club that is forward thinking and extracts the maximum from its facilities and local population. Waverley also have every right to be perplexed.

Horrendous. No "Wizard of Woz" catch cries there.

How about less bias from DE. Tell us about the purchases that dont make a return. Would like to see the balance sheet.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz what would he have to tell us that he hasnt already???!!! Self promoter like nothing seen before.

I just can not see what the hype is about these slot races. Utterly stupid concept.

"Panels", "Wizard of Waz", "Falling out of trees".....just to name a few. Theyre an embarrassment. Offer zero knowledge or interest (apart from Jane). Heveldt was on the radio during the Super Bowl. Its almost child-like the way he presents. However, he turned that on its head when he swore on air. How the heck have we ended up here NZ?

The worst nickname to ever be created. Cringe.

Scanman??!! You have to be kidding!!!! The stories I hear about him would make you hold onto your money firmly and not let him invest it.

When it "changes direction/slips/moves" it has not touched the inside horse - in fact you can see daylight from the camera angle. I will wait for the stipes vids to see if it touched the outside horse. Quite likely the way the hind quarters flicked outwards.

What did it do then?

Watch Konasana's run on Saturday at Ellerslie. If that didnt slip entering the straight Im at a loss. And not a word said on the night I bet.
