May be a few gaps in those trees now.

Gee TAB I've missed ya, talk about air pollution, nothing like a good breeze now and then to clear the air, happens every year and you see the stiff breeze we just had means plenty of trees and firewood and heating for next winter, and the snow on the ground often kills the bugs, yet strangely I havnt seen snow recently but I heard it was somewhere, now I don't want to get into the Auckland knocking today but didn't Eden Park look sad last night for the Cricket, about as sad as Aucklands combined effort in the NPC you know that competition that in your eyes no one cares about yet strangely it appears your thoughts are often misguided , even people embraced the Ranfurly Shield, Don't know my neighbours too well but with a $10 plus payout for milk solids don't think too many will be struggling. Now TAB we may always agree to dis agree on things but you must not get so sensitive about things, but the nominations issue is always interesting, if you don't like them don't read them.

6 races at Manawatu, only 2 horses trained from up North, little bit of a anomaly in the dates setting here, everyone's focus is on Cup Week, and the extra day between races may not help, strange they just didn't slot Palmy in the following week on Tuesday, Thursday, , just my thoughts, the Greyhounds finishing soon won't help Palmy much, hard to know where or what the future holds in the CD moving forward, there are still a few trainers keeping it going, mind you the issues in Palmy or the CD ain't much different to the rest of the North Island.

67 noms for Manawatu, 31 at a rough guess from Michael House, only 3 trained in the Northern region, no matter which way you look at it it's going to be a full House at Manawatu lol.

For Cup day only 7 noms, at a quick glance from Southland for Cup Day, how times have changed, they have a South Of The Waitaki race on Show Day that might drag some in, interestingly only 6 from Southland for day 1 at Riccarton as well, I suspect that the later days will improve. Noms will be out shortly for day 1 at Manawatu Monday, what will the numbers be?

Taken me over 45 years and I havnt got it back yet😐

Looks like they have over extended the numbers at Cambridge, no room for 2 meetings a week, yet they keep running them. Manawatu next week, Monday and Thursday, might not be the smartest in Cup Week, we will see in time I guess.

I don't think there is cashout if the multi includes futures bet, I stand to be corrected maybe he was approached in this exceptional case but if it was it wouldn't have been for the punters good but for the Tabs good to save the risk of paying in full, don't think he would even get his bet back in bonus cash for missing by one leg.

And to think I was going to add those 4 to the other 2 , bugger lol.

10 and 16, posted before start lol.

I note the Italian guy has a interpreter, I know many men who have one as well, it's called the wife 🤓

Ruskinoff just won lol.

Galah, TAB has been sniffing too many fumes from the cars stuck in congestion, it's not good for the mind, too much inhalation, while he pisses me off with some of the crap he writes he is entitled to his opinion, even if it's the opposite of most of us, but just one remark TAB says in regards to turnover in suggesting much of the turnover on Canterbury harness is bet from the North Isaland, well by population numbers you would think so but if that money is bet on meetings in Canterbury why is that and not bet on Cambridge or A Park? And no I don't want to see harness shut up shop up North but business is business, sometimes good business decisions or hard decisions have to be made sometimes, ATC is no different.

As at 12pm Sunday, Cambridge still trying hard to get 5 drivers races. 4 looks definite, that's a major achievement in itself.

Good old Waverley, Trentham and Otaki taking up the slack again until new year, at least.

Have a Crack looks tempting.😁

Does it really matter, there is a winner in every race😁

Betting on horses to pay the rent 😵‍💫

Interestingly nominations now extended until Sunday morning, don't see that often.

Do you think if Blair Orange won he could claim to be the best in the World if he's only half as good as Dexter Dunn?

14 noms for 2 trots, 9 noms for another race, strangely a 1 and 2 win 3yo race, why a restricted to 3yo, and 28 noms for 2 other paces races for World Drivers champs at Cambridge, be interesting to see how they sort this all out.

Just as well interest rates are low lol.

I'm a day ahead of myself, noms, tomorrow lol.

Gamma, I do love your optimism.

Only 10 for 2 races at Kaikoura for drivers champs , no emergency runner, noms close today for Cambridge, 2 trots, 2 Pacing races, will they get enough numbers, that's the big questions.
