Can't believe that Marlborough have lost their dates for next season,yet Nelson get to keep theirs.Would love to know the reason for Nelson being kept and Marlborough losing their dates,not that it will change anything,but sucks arse.

Yip would of been one hell of a story if Kozzi had managed to get the premiership,tho he wasn't helping himself much before the lockdown happenend,was getting suspended and spending lengthy amounts of time on the sidelines.I guess July will be helter skelter,but will definitely be harder for him than his North Island counterparts.

Probably not silly to throw Jason Waddell's name out there as well.Will definitely be a sort after spot once it becomes available.

Not sure if it's just me or not.But whenever i've watched a race from Oz,have always noticed that when they go to hit the horse with the whip,they never seem to take their hands off the reins to give the horse a hit.Compared to here where you clearly see their whip hand is off the reins,over their it seems much different.

Not much has changed for me.I'm lucky that with me working at the hospital here in Blenheim,that it gives me some 'normality',but then once home it's pretty much just staying home,unless it's a supermarket trip or my partner and i walk the dog.Am missing the local horse racing,but i guess the Aussie racing is giving me something to look at lol.Stay safe all.

Yip i hear what your saying CS,but have followed her from day one.Be just my luck i don't back her in the cup and she wins,i know the risk with her but will definitely be on her,that's even if they run the race,who knows how the world will look by then.

She's a total honey,and she was wayyy too gooood yesterday and she deserved that win.See they are talking Caulfield and Melbourne Cups with her.I'll be all over her like a rash in those races.

Thought he was home today.Had the nice run but just couldn't get past the winner.Will continue to get my money,tho i am starting to think he may be one of those horses that is destined to be a bridesmaid.

Am pretty keen on Bucksin in his race.Been on him at his last half a dozen starts,he was a victim of a messy race last week,which left him parked,which is definitely not his go.As we have seen in his previous runs he's much better with a sit and one shot at them.Drawn the pole today and hopefully he can get a nice trail or possie up in the running line,and if he's not too far away he can get a well deserved win today.

A shame that she has joined the Coles.Always rated her ability as a trainer,but i guess she's got her reasons for doing what she's currently doing.

Just wondering if Hayley has given the game away.I don't follow the pups as much as i used too,but i pretty much used to back all of her dogs,but lately i haven't seen her name around at all.

Am pretty sure that he's been with Ken Ford for a while and they haven't been able to get a win with him,so it may be the same on Friday.

Yip Ants is all class....been my fave driver for years and years.A shame that things dried up for him here,which is what lead him to Aussie.And has definitely been on fire training wise as well,long may it continue.

There was strong talk a couple of years ago,that they wanted to merge the 2 colleges here into 1 school.And for a while Waterlea Racecourse was mooted as the likely venue,which wasn't exactly going well with some people around here.Anyway the powers that be at the track said the place isn't for sale,so talks of a school being built on the racetrack grounds kind of died away.While those talks were happening,i don't seem to recall any talks of where any future race meetings would be held here.Hopefully they won't restart talks of putting a school on the grounds,as it would be a shame to lose the racetrack,even tho they obviously don't want to race in June this year.

Yea it does seem weird alright.You'd think with all this talk a year or two back that they wanted to use the racecourse to relocate the 2 colleges,that they would want to race their as much as they can.

Yea it's very odd Shad.All i know is that someone from the club 'forgot' to apply for the June dates.Which seems very strange to me,they have been racing in June for as long as i can remember so how can you just 'forget'.I guess we'll never know the reason as to why.

I think this is the 2nd-ish year they have done it here.I think the grass track racing seems to work,and yea im a fan of the grass track racing.It's a shame tho that we in Blenheim have to until this meeting next year for any harness action,seeing as for some unknown reason there is no winter meeting here in June.

I was on track and it was a pretty good day.The weather played its part and i thought the racing was pretty good,food was better than it used to be in previous years and no doubt the club are happy with how their 100 year celebrations went.I managed to grab a few winners which made the day more enjoyable.

Might join ya Happy and throw my tips out for my local meet.Hopefully others may post as well.Chocolate fish for the winner.

For so long Ian Chambers was the voice of the top of the south as well as the Coast meetings.But yes would be interesting to see what the past commentators are up too these days.

Yea Lachie does own it,but trained by Rick's dad Terry.

Be nice if Missie Castleton can do the business for the wee man tomorrow.

Seems odd that there is issues with the track,whereas compared to last week someone said that the track is good after it had been attacked by wild pigs.Who made the decision and decided to say that the track was all good?.I'm going to have a couple of horses run at Kumara,and as much as i love having my horses run around,i wouldn't want them to run on a track that isn't up to standard.
