From what I've seen of Kate here now, all she needs is the cattle under her, if she gets the opportunities Leah Kilner's getting she would/could kick some goals....I hope she sticks at it, she needs to get away from Deagon, it's a flaming goat track, ride work at E Farm and she'll kick on.

Bridgette Grylls couldn't get rides here, she slaughtered plenty, nice girl but not a metro rider, the same for Sam unfortunately, having said that young Kate Cowan and the lass from Levin Casey Waddell have improved out of sight, mentoring has a lot to do with it, some great mentors over here.....IMO.

It's not a business plans backside, none of them could run a business, it's too easy watching @nzracing slip into the great abyss while the eagle lands every week, if any of them had to catch and kill their own they'd stave to death....BDL is correct, but we've known all this for years, the dozen or so in the Northern Cartel don't want change, they got rich because of the apathy of the Hoi poloi, it's too late now, damage is done, root and branch reform should have been done when Purcell left, instead, well we all know what happened......sorry for being so negative, Nomates heart is in the right place but common sense tells you it's at the precipice........what happens when they have to pay the 17 mil? 17 mil before any food at all appears on the table......FFS, it's a Shakespearean tragedy......

Get rid of the pricks that ruined your racing, the fleas that lined their own pockets and didn't give a tuppeny cuss about the future....only theirs.......they know who they are, you know who they are, it makes sense...or not.

There's a rumour Bernie was spotted at Rongatai with a skully and boots!

Remember the Titanic, by gee there were some good musicians that went down with that ship.

Someone should tell them.

Chief, if they didn't know about it, I bet they do now.

It's not speculating is it?

Freda's probably still mucking out boxes, can't speak for her, imagine how pissed off I'd be though......

No at all, doesn't matter where you live, you respect the grass roots people, you know, the people that do the real work, lass gets hurt, trainer financially disadvantaged and short handed, what price a caring phone call......I'd do it, would you? I'd say yes......TA didn't...not yet anyway apparently.....

I know it's too late, but,.......I never trained at Randwick, I was at Rosehill when Waller was kicking footballs in Foxton, what I saw though was a brains trust/think tank that knew/decided that Randwick couldn't stand up to the racing it was getting when we had a terrible winter, so they decided to construct Kensington....the inner track of Randwick, so then, at NZTR no-one picks up the phone to call the brains trust to have a 'think tank'...FFS.......and no-one called the Toowoomba committee or trainers/jockeys to chat about the mitigated disaster that their AWT became......Kenso and Headquarters now race terrific, they compliment one another, and Rosehill is there as is W Farm and Canterbury, the best surface in Australia.....I used to ride work at Canterbury away back and it's still as brilliant as it was then.......all this racing and all these alternatives, it's unreal to watch and listen to the wailing over there, Cambridge in 5 years will be a joke and will need replacing, as will Riccarton and Awapuni, the dolts responsible will be gone, skulking away like a fox fleeing the chookhouse with the baying dogs in pursuit......what a bloody tragedy, grown men and women at the Taj Mahal and not a brain to bless themselves with....in closing, imagine, Riccarton with an inside track, a strathayr, oh, and maybe lights, summer nights, markets, band, food trucks. and great racing, coinciding with M Valley/Canterbury.Gold Coast....under lights coming soon.....vision, passion.....nah, just common sense, how much did the AWT cost........how much a new plough? and a Strathayr? New blood is needed at Riccarton, and a HUGE broom is Petone for the geriatric pale stale males......IMO!

We obviously live on a different planet C, TA live in rarified air.

WTF is wrong with Rangiora? Riccarton is rooted, well the course proper, you are lucky in Canterbury as you have so many great country tracks, the fools in Petone will remain just that, fools, we had a horse with a Riccarton trainer, she won 3 barrier trials at Rangiora, undefeated, Rangiora Caviar......we had one horse run at Riccarton, he started fav, he came down from the NI, he broke down ........the elephant in the room, it's the worst grass track in the flaming country, all that energy and expense went into a synthetic track, the whole thing is a joke, a trainer with serious numbers who doesn't like to travel and a committee who are basically ostriches, as Freda said, it's too late, no going back, history will remember the idiots, Canterbury, once legendary, now hapless, legless, hopeless....you choose.

Another trainer calling the shots, yeah that'll work, Its worked for decades up north, nearly same down south......heres me thinking RVL was a boys club, its alive and well there.

I don't know CS, however if I was TA I would have called Sat night to ask how my horses pulled up and to thank the strapper/s......that's how I'd do it though, I can't speak for them.

That might upset the natives C.

You'd think they might find a lovely home for Richard Of York eh, poor bugger has travelled and done more miles than Captain Cook, he's going to break his effen leg soon, he's not a sponge, how much more do you ring him out.

Fence and Trellis didn't sleep a wink last night I hear, she tossed and turned all night worrying how you were going to get though the coming week Freda, has she given you a call?

Sadly Huey I fear it's not on her bucket list. Note I said 'Bucket'.

Silly girl, streets ahead of the rest, legend doing nothing, silly, stupid, she'll be back, win the bloody premiership even with that head start.

Dear Leader has also put us on notice that NO Aussie nuclear powered subs will be allowed in NZ waters, oh bugger!

There was a rumour there was job going on that plane as a tail gunner.......P4P would suit that position I'd think.

It's booked to fly a load of Whittakers down to McMurdo as soon as the weather lifts.

Probably not a galloping matter and The Chief may well move it, however your esteemed leader Comrade Adern might be a tad nervous with the announcement of the alliance announced yesterday whereby our waters and land will be protected by the worlds strongest military alliance. NZ needs to recognise just how vulnerable it is, and the Chinese know it. Might be time to alert Comrade Adern, on SKY last night they were scathing of Ms Aderns hidden agendas and the apathy of the people......was Andrew Bolt wrong with this assumption? Biden has been asleep at the wheel, someone has elbowed him, China is not happy.
