Jerry Garcia,and yes he went well in both gaits.

As im a fan of Jason's i certainly hope that he can come back,but after reading that he is considering taking 2 months away,wouldn't that make it harder to come back?.And as i mentioned earlier,how come Jason made 56.5 kgs a few months or so ago,but isn't able too now?..the warmer weather back then??. Anyway i wish Jason the best and i guess we'll 'watch this space'.

Ah that is a crying shame. A very talented rider,who if it wasn't for the weight issues would be one of the best in the South. Didn't Jason ride at around 56kgs up North not too long ago? hard to believe(tho im a novice) that if that was the case,then he's now struggling with the weight??. I hope we haven't seen the last of Jason,a very gifted rider,but i did notice that he's now not riding at Wingatui on Sunday.

I see that Jason rode a few races ago,but is now gone from his remaining rides??. Hopefully nothings happened,and maybe it's more weight related?.

If your a member of his fan page on Facebook you would have seen that he's been injured for quite some time. Think from memory he fractured his heel down south. Was wearing a moonboot for awhile,then onto crutches,but it looks like he's off them now.Still probably some time before he's back,rehab etc.

Just noticed the Dylan is down to ride tomorrow at Mornington in Oz. How long has he been there for? had no idea he'd gone over.Could ride a bit here,just limited with weight i think. Hope it goes well for him.

Yip can agree with that. I remember when i was around 7 or 8 years old,listening to a race with my old man on Radio Pacific from Addington and i thought it was Reon doing the calling,but was informed after the race that it was Trevor,definitely sounded a lot like Reon,and he didn't miss a beat either. Sad that this disease got the best of him rather quickly. RIP Trev and condolences to his family and friends.

I went to the 2nd day and it was a bumper crowd,with stunning weather,and apparently there was a pretty good crowd for day 1 as well. Their turnover was a success on both days by all reports. It sucks that we lost the winter meetings,but so good to see the 2 days being so well supported by trainers,as well as the public.Hopefully that trend continues over the years.

Just wondering how can a jockey ride at a certain weight mid week,then a few days later have to be taken of their mounts,yet was riding at the same weight a few days ago?. Is it as simple as not wasting enough or something else?. Definitely not having a go at the jock,just a bit uneducated on the subject.

Yip was another good win by him. Looks like Jason Laking seems to click with the horse which is good to see.No idea if he's heading to Kumara,but if so he'd be getting some decent weight you'd think.

Now i'm not one to usually queary what a trainer is doing with their horses,but it boggles my mind that Mark Smolenski is still persevering with her as a trotter. In every start she has had as a trotter she has pretty much broken at the start and that's that.Now she was a handy lower grade pacer who normally performed well,but trying her as a trotter looks like an epic fail,and i still can't believe that she hasn't reverted back to the pacing game by now.

Good to see Nigel's horse win the first today at Cromwell.He was definitely larger than life.

Good to hear that the recovery is going well,slow but well. As much as i love watching the Cuz ride,i do think it's time for him to retire.Has had his fair share of nasty injuries,but this one takes the cake as it almost took his life.

I've been having my own issues with the TAB site for the last few weeks. Whenever i try and watch a race on either my laptop or phone the race goes from normal speed to fast,then back to normal etc. Have emailed them constantly about it and initially they were like it's been resolved,which it hadn't,well not for me anyway. Emailed them again 2 days ago,where they said that yes their is a glitch...no bloody kidding,haven't heard anything since. Have been watching the races online thru Spark Sport,which is great,but the coverage is around 1 min in delay from what is showing on the TAB site.

Agree,has to be their end,but the response from them is that it's been 'resolved'.Doesn't matter whether i use Firefox,Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, it does the same thing. The only time i saw a race normally is when i used Racing.com and watched a race from Melbourne..went perfectly. Am now hunting out betting sites that i can watch racing from Aussie/NZ anywhere else in the world,seeing as the TAB don't really care.

Well i don't know about anyone else,but i'm still having the same issues. This is despite them emailing me twice over the last few days saying that its been resolved. Bunch of crap that is,the problem has to be at their end,as i've done nothing to alter the settings.

I first noticed it on Thursday night.Very annoying that's for sure.

I'm in a syndicate now and my payments are $12.50 per week,which works out to be $50 a month which isn't too bad.Definitely one of the cheaper harness syndicates that i've been in.

Good to hear it's not just me. It's total shit,hard to believe i was told that it was resolved. Have emailed them back,so will see what the reply is IF i get one.

Has anyone had any issues when watching racing either on the laptop/PC or phone? . The races start off normal speed,then they 'speed up' then goes back to normal and so on and so on.I emailed the help desk who replied back saying that a few had mentioned this problem,but has now been resolved,as of 4pm when i got a reply back. Well i shouldn't really be surprised but i'm still having the same issues,so is anyone else in the same boat as me?.

Was a good interview. Steve certainly let the powers that be know that they are doing a shit job and good on him too,not that it will change anything unfortunately.

They held a commentator's day for Trev on Monday.Don't know the ins and outs of his health,but i think i heard that he's been doing the job for around 43 years,so definitely deserves his retirement.Remember listening to him on Radio when i was a kid when he was filling in for Reon Murtha at the trots many moons ago.

Big fan of Jason,so was pleased to see him get another Grp 1 and for the powerful Te Akau as well.

I actually don't need to use headphones,i don't need to hear the commentary.I could sink to your level and start abusing you,like you did with me,when it wasn't warranted but i won't.Just another gutless online keyboard warrior.

Yes true there about the American's and Golf. I only have it on mute as my partner isn't into the whole racing thing,tho will come with me when the trots are here,but it's on mute as to not annoy the ball n chain lol.
