  1. Obviously Shad you are a Coaster so not many racedays to go to, good to see the coast getting a fair go as in no Cantebury meeting helps to get the 10 races than shortchanging them like Boxing day.
  2. Reon Murtha had a wide variety of things he ended up covering, a Royal Wedding of all things. Gee some of the next lot don't seem to last long.
  3. 10 races, just shows its not hard if they have a clear wee Southland meeting has small fields, slowly they are losing numbers, sign of the times.
  4. Hosking needs to get his polical party together, no one knows more about how to run a country than him.
  5. Not sure if it's just me or the tv but Matt Cross has a odd shaped head to me. Looks like Easter egg
  6. Amazing what you find on You Tube
  7. This one takes some beating.
  8. Another good musician
  9. Another good song. https://youtu.be/kGF5NlfFWjA
  10. https://youtu.be/aM2IYVala0g This kind of music can inspire us.
  11. Football ferns beaten 5 0 by Portugal, despite one of the players saying they would be a lot easier than the US, some of our fem players and teams build themselves up only to bum out.
  12. History keeps repeating itself and will continue to do so, you cant beat nature.
  13. Gore only had 2 nominations for its rating 55 plus summer cup, thats bad.
  14. We have discussed the geo blocking idea and ive always said the TAB need to expand their customer base not shrink it, then this, pitiful. What is wrong with this lot ?
  15. Once again our elite women's sports team have proven to be in a league of their own, women's T20, for all the hype they fail miserably, I don't expect any difference with the footballers at the World Cup. Their seems a bias by free to air to coverage of women's sport, must be the woke world we live in, I'm not knocking it, just putting things in perspective. .
  16. Rodney's fucked in the head but still funny, yet Jimmy Carr and today's ilk just don't do it for me aye, strange but true.
  17. Something to brighten the day https://youtu.be/U705EAx70Cwyo b
  18. https://youtube.com/shorts/yFsn3_yt0Qc?feature=share
  19. On another totally different tangent did anybody see on tv1 that bus driver in Auckland in the flood, water up to the windows, priceless.
  20. Does harness racing need a variance of 85 rating points? Maybe 100 is the top rating and no penalty points for 5 starts after a win, there must be manipulation by some allowing their horse to drop back to get a easier run, it also stops reducing the numbers in the higher grade, stakes should be scaled as well, maybe struggling non winners race for less but winners get a stake increase The old c1 c3 system was fine, but no relief for genuine struggles also chased them out of the system
  21. No Riverton Cup this week, no numbers, Horarata Cup, only 13500 stake, no races for top class pacers other than all in FFA races which usually are canned if Purdon turns up, all the money is now by racing in Oz for 2 or 3 months, this industry sadly is fucked in NZ.
  22. Guy Williams, never listened ,watched him, heard about him though, but like most so called kiwi humor it's like week tea, once again one or two of the old timers were ok, maybe it's just me, naybe it's just the old been there seen it heard it all before but Jimmy Carr, Some of the stuff he comes out with is rather sad, saddest part is people flock to hear it, takes all sorts I guess.
  23. Did I hear correctly that Hawera may have four days next year, Trots Talk on senz.
  24. Does anybody know if the crowds have turned up for Hawera. Westport Nelson , Blenheim do but different kettle of fish across the straight.
