What's up with Box 1 being vacant in every race tonight?. Is there some issue with the 1 box? or have they just decided to run small fields from now on?.

I did read that Akuta was only around 80% fit for today's race,and that looked to be the case late in the race,still thought he went ok,be interesting to see if he heads to Kaikoura next week,or the Cup Trial,i think he'll need to run in 1 of those to get fitness for the Cup. And DSD is trained by the Cullen's now,but yes he was disappointing.

Yea works for Tony Herlihy. Think only been driving for a few weeks.

Ok cool,thanks for that.

Does anyone know what injury Matt sustained after the fall yesterday?.

Gee that's an outstanding field.A number of horses that reached cup class in that field.

Does anyone know if he's had any luck over in NSW?.From what i've seen he hasn't ridden a winner yet??. Think he's been mainly riding in the country lately,rather than in town. I wonder if he'll stick it out until the end of Winter? or come back early?.Definitely has the talent,just needs to catch a break i guess.

He definitely gave you a thrill mate.Looks like he might enjoy the caper.

Gee Forbury has one of those names/attitude where you wish you could grab someone thru a PC screen,and just lay the MF out....complete flog.

Ah the Homeby,one of those jumps races i remember as a kid,that is now no longer.

Thanks for that. I did actually back Noble Express when he won the National all those years ago.

Had no idea Debbie Henderson was in a Wheelchair?. Backed her quite a few times going back a few years when she was riding over the sticks.

Good to see Andrew get a metro win earlier at Rosehill. Seems to be getting a few more rides,especially for Gary Portelli. Always been able to ride well.

Haven't come across that situation re asking if it's a fixed odds bet,then again there aren't that many race meetings where i live these days lol. Mind you when i am on course i still prefer to use a bet slip rather than verbally say my bet...annoys me as to why people don't use them,they aren't that hard.So i guess for me,with the fact i use a bet slip,i'd never get asked if my bet is fixed odds or not.

Ah yes Tuapeka Knight owned Starship back in those days.
