  1. Apparently this is the latest 'initiative' to save NZ racing t.o. 🤣
  2. Not forgetting Micky Dee....great win in the CC....bloody Durston...ruined my bets.
  3. Giga Kick-Clayton Douglas trains the Everest winner!-$16 million race...wonderful result...don't forget to turn out the ..lights.🤑
  4. Rogerson got a winner in Sydney today with a handy type.
  5. Rodley has been a reliable and faithful servant for the NZ racing old boy network.A junket to Oz is a trifle. The junkets Murry,Sarge and co used to cover the globe.
  6. He was a talented trainer and enjoyed some great success with some wonderful horses. He is the reason I gave up betting on the 'thieves on wheels'=team driving and not trying...time and...again.
  7. A number of creditors ,probably not...impressed... Property high-flier bankrupted | Stuff.co.nz
  8. Great mares don't have a very good record at stud....long list...Black Caviar,Sunline..etc.
  9. JMac on fire today...a treble in the big races at Caulfield. Sublime horsemanship.Settled all of them ,never panicked and came off the pace with undeniable finishes ...formidable.👏
  10. As an aside ,if my memory serves me well,crack jockey Brent Thomson won his first race on his first ride on...An Illusion.

  14. Be fair to say...if Foley had just kicked the ball out...The AB's would not have won the Bledisloe or the Championship....fizzer got..lucky.
  15. Aussie commentator -Freedman?-observed more than a decade ago that NZ Grp1's were not worthy....of that status. He is proven right time and again. Nothing wrong with being realistic.Professional yearling buyers discount NZ Grp performance,albeit something is better than...nothing.
  16. New World is far and away the most expensive supermarket imo.
  17. Well she should bolt in ,in the consolation.Doubt it though.
  18. Capt Cook-' the name ‘Mount Egmont’ to honour the Earl of Egmont, John Perceval, previously first Lord of the Admiralty. While he had supported earlier voyages of exploration, Perceval had retired by the time of Cook’s first voyage and had no direct connection with it. He died before learning of the honour.' That's why a colonial peer with NO direct connection to this country.
  19. Embrace /accept/....semantics...'That is the definition of heritage isn't it. ' I said Maori heritage.....Maori heritage is ever present and everywhere in this country.As I said it makes NZ unique...something to cherish.People are using Maori language more and more. Changing names like Mt Egmont to Mt Taranaki,Mt Cook to Aoraki...and so on reinforce our unique identity.These are good things.
  20. Well so long as you're...'current cake'...then!
  21. Kiwis embrace Te Reo because Maori heritage is what makes our country unique. Differentiates it from all the other former british colonies.
  22. Too much information.Good luck..anyway. Does Hj stand for...'hand job'?😆
