Bring back Radio Pacific

Yawn 🥱.

Yawn 🥱. Tui Ad right there. Come on Gamma, Mighty Quinn & KOS surely Kiwi . Think Phar Lap.

Exactly Chief.

Finally saw the light hey Gamma, right on every count re the South Island Utopia 😎. Ah nostalgia. Best days of my life. ps Was there for Enterprise’s Cup, and can tell you it was a NI gem of a drive that got him home 👌, peach to watch.

Eh? Then what was all the palaver about the premierships? The Trainers and Drivers Premierships are running 1 January to 31 December are they not? Correct, the racing calendar , as are the horses birthdays, the only three things that have changed. Unfortunately, mother nature says the breeding season is in spring , foals are born, mares served and this cant be changed. By changing the horses b/days they are hoping that more will be served after the new year without the penalty of foals turning one too soon. Thoroughbreds status quo. I think HRNZ have some more work to do re communicating this, bit of a hot potch.

Gammalite, getting more handsome everyday.

Could of gone another round.

Just can’t get that young fella in the cart, might have an outside show if I could, stumped!

Just checked in, think I won something, do you need my bank details Gamma? ps been out working horses, I know, I know, it just doesn’t leave you. Only the stayers left.

Still had the running rail then. I gave up once they took it out as I had nothing to follow 😎.

Think thats Cinimod Junior beating Skipper Dale(his shadow roll gives him away I think), may have been the old Pan Am Mile? He won a Wellington Cup but got D'd over a caffiene positive I recall. Fergy minus his moustache, less wind resistance.

Did say hard, not tough there Gamma, us Mainlanders need some sort of lead., lol. Sits nice in the bike that man, mmm, wonder if it’s a self portrait….and no overcheck for the horse…aluminium cart so probably’80’s, just have to sort those colours.

Give us a hard one Gamma .😇

Two great NZ horses beating that Aussie pretender from Queensland?

1995 Interdominion Final The best performance I've witnessed live, gave them all a start and a beating did that Aussie Golden Reign. What I noticed was Chokin's colours in the background, but he wasnt in the finish after that skirmish that Blossom Lady caused by letting Golden Reign go and then trying to come out a bit late,remember Master Musician being wiped out, but I think he got promoted post humously after Victor Supreme, fly eyes hood( leg liniment) & Young Mr Charles(caffiene?) got disqualified. What a great run.

Aussies, no surprises there.

Looking back I wonder how those horses would’ve performed under the new whip laws, gee we did use to get into them, (Bruce Clark, your arse would be sore Gamma), don’t think Inky Lord would’ve won his NZ Cup without Ricky May getting into him, may have ran on for 5th maybe, guess everyone was doing the same. A good horse will always be a good horse but others needed a little bit more persuasion. Gammalite a tough taskmaster, like see how far the Aussie could run with cracked heels, some excitement machine was LM.

Think the RIU had always been funded by the pokies? Apparently they are goooone in this new agreement.

Typical Aussie, blurting out half way through a race, loose reining with a lap to go, running into oxygen debt. The race is to the finishing post mate, not before. ps good job again 👍

Marky probably get 3 with Oscar Bonavena , he will now that I’ve dropped him.

Blackman will have Team # 4 please.

Strietross? Round 100 starts, 50 of either gait, about 10 wins in each, raced against some top liners in his career.

Aussie(🙄) O'Sullivan out for three days for more than a wrist flicking action, would have learned that off her Dad :). ps Carter fined $250 for trying to keep up with her.

Also on the Board of HRNZ. C'mon RJ, need to put your impartiality cap on here, big principal at stake. Forget that you've trained horses for the President. Would'nt like the thought of Master Musician being buried under a ton of asphalt in a car park.
