  1. 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.
  2. He definitely gave you a thrill mate.Looks like he might enjoy the caper.
  3. 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.
  4. Ah the Homeby,one of those jumps races i remember as a kid,that is now no longer.
  5. Thanks for that. I did actually back Noble Express when he won the National all those years ago.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Ah yes Tuapeka Knight owned Starship back in those days.
  10. Thanks again Pam for the opportunity.She certainly showed some great heart the other day.Could definitely have some fun with her.

    Anthony Roberts??

    Ah yea true he has. Seems strange that he's been Craig for as long as i can remember,but is now Anthony. Each to their own,at least my curiosity is cured now.
  12. Geez aren't you a sad piece of human excrement.You have no idea what your on about you flog. If you can't handle the game and the punt then take your $2 elsewhere....muppet.
  13. So has Craig Roberts changed his name,or is there another Roberts on the scene?.
  14. I did notice that when i was watching on Friday,i thought that some of the lights went out,as there were some dark patches. So i checked the stewars report but nothing was mentioned about the lights.Obviously it was safe for the drivers,but yea it did look a little odd.Hopefully they'll settle down and it was a one off.
  15. Gee those numbers don't sound good. I for one will be hoping the meeting goes ahead,as 1 of my syndicate horses is meant to be lining up.I guess time will tell.
  16. I'm not sure whether Bruce was a late replacement for Aaron White,but i thought he did a pretty good job last night,and i can't remember hearing him calling the trots that much in the past. Was also a nice change to not hear the drivers nicknames thru out the race. Others may disagree,but thought he did pretty well.

  17. Yea it's John's son. Came back driving at the Palmy meetings in November.No idea where he's been tho.
  18. Don't be bagging the Lobster lol. Our girl is very much a work in progress,but she was better the other day at the Mot after a minor gallop at the start.
  19. Yip Nigel does a fantastic job with every thing he does to try and get the code put in the spotlight,and he does it off his own back. I'm personally lucky enough to be involved in this syndicate that Nigel has put together.So i'm sure he's as proud of Tara's run(Rock Lobster) like the rest of us are...she done good today.
  20. Bold statement.
  21. Yip he drove both of the trotters very well,probably deserves to get more drives.Am lucky enough to be involved with those 2 trotters,so was very pleased to get the win with Tara,and also Lynn ran well in her first run back in a while.
  22. I was there last year with a mate,and like you Walt i had no idea that there was an incident on the day,wasn't until i saw it on Facebook much later on that i knew about it.Always amusing watching the young ones,not being able to handle the drink. As for paying $40 last year,it didnt really bother me,but i think it's cool that they've reduced the price for this year..not that i'm going this year.
  23. I noticed that he's been MIA over the last week or so,after starting his riding career here with 3 wins. Didn't read anywhere about a suspension or injury,so maybe gone back home?.
  24. According to stewards report,he locked onto one rein,so he felt that if he went for it the horse would have gone to the outside fence. I did back the horse and yea on the turn i was like 'well this will bolt in' but no. I know Kenny has a lot of time for Akshay,and i can't imagine he would of just decided to not ride it out,unless there was something going on..which going by the report there was, No doubt a lot of people will be gunning for him,so to speak,but that won't be me.
  25. Geez who let the lunatic in?. Is either hitting the meth hard or is OFF his drugs.
