  1. What about Master of Reality?
  2. You often read or hear about the success overseas,not everyone does better off shore,in many forms of life,not sure what point I'm trying to make just saying.
  3. Should try him out,see if you can get 25 mill for a all weather track at Kumara.
  4. Another way of looking at it,hes good at giving out lots of money,so that could come in handy aye.
  5. Grant Robertson personally I think hes a freely positive sort of a guy,might be good ,might not.
  6. Do they still have acceptance/nominations fees.
  7. Ok now the gallops are paying stakes just for turning up,it might be a couple of hundy for the also rans so what happens if they don't get a full field,does the money go to the rest or goes elsewhere.
  8. I dont like USA racing but if you dont like it dont watch it.
  9. Historically harness racing has always been a poorer cousin to the gallops so really nought really changes,but gee it's just about non existent in some places now.
  10. High sports turnover may not help racing but maybe it may make the overall state of affairs better.
  11. What run them into the dirt?
  12. The form line as a rule is pretty crap.
  13. Read the form comment for Shout The Bar race 5 Flemington,interesting.
  14. Many people in many positions are hamstrung in jobs,tell me about it.
  15. Some of these people who are in their suit wearing jobs just go from one job to another,could you really imagine them milking cows,crutching sheep,driving a tractor or truck,not flipping likely.
  16. Pete's Dash,5th again,just cant get any closer whoever's drives him.
  17. When one thinks about it,there are many drives or drivers who could be charged for the same offence,the guys who loop the field then sit parked and then fade,there was one in Invercargill in winter that was a standout for that,maybe the fact that O Connell is not a full time driver is the reason for the 6 months,yes it wasn't a good drive but I do remember a horse at nelson going about 35 wide on the turn and nothing done on that occasion.maybe a warning about ones failings might have been better,Pete's Dash seems to be no different with any other driver,sometimes we can stuff things up and can learn going forward.
  18. Still the same stables despite the main stars not there,there must be room for a upset.
  19. The can tabs in recent years have spent a lot of time in Southland,lean pickings for the locals.
  20. Does he still have his southern operation or was that just temporary,
  21. Not one comment for what is a major day southern racing wise,has it just slipped by without hardly raising a ripple,is that reflective of all those southern Thursday meetings.
  22. The big guns not there but a good field really,U May Collect is turning up,should actually be a good race without the dominators.
  23. Prime😊
  24. Prince of Arran,got it in one.
  25. Wonder if Wyndham and Gore get their dates back.
