Just looking at some of those results, seems to me today's racing is only a shadow of those times, times move on though, it's nice to reflect on the past but we still have to live in the present, simple really.

You may be right, I'm not going back there, Commissioner may have beaten him twice.

42 starts , 28 wins, not bad, I was right on the Boxing day loss, only a head in it, a horse that won that many in a row probably had developed a swelled head but not big enough lol. Lost again a week later when beaten by Parlez Vous, Milnes horse from Edendale. Didnt quite reach the same heights later in his career, finished up at Hutt Park, cup meeting, I think had some injury issues but nonetheless less one of the better ones to have raced.

Noodlum, won a heap in a row, set some record, I do remember the day he got beat though, it made the news, horse named Commissioner (not sure about the spelling though), think it was at Ashburton, may have been boxing day, cant remember, gee I dont know everything, in fact when I think about it I dont know anything. I'm gunna have a look at the records on hrnz, after going there I will at least know something.

Saturday nights racing was once the only game in town, nowdays you have rugby , cricket league etc etc on telly so it's been pushed to the back burner. The biggest change in night racing is that very few night meetings go much past nine o cock, changing times aye I never even looked at the fields

Saturday night racing,a rarity so why all of a sudden one night out of the blue is there anyone there anyway.

Did I read that New Plymouth was put off midweek, if that's true I can honestly say I didnt even know.

Cant they race tomorrow?

$50000 quaddie today and the good oil knocks off at 5 but last races after 5, brilliant.

Well covering races to suit the general race followers cant be that difficult, just listen right now to senz with the cricket, despite the fact the commentators are all working at home it's ok, it's not hard. And just to add today while the main race at Cromwell was being run they were talking to some guy who breeds horses, surely there could be a better time to talk other horse matters, maybe not when they are actually racing

That was the radio, had to leave early for the cricket which started at 5, no problem there but they could easily shift it over to the app, as for watching trackside on the senz app, I think it's only trackside 1 , and it just burns up ya data watching video, probably your battery too, as for the simulcast, I listened in when having a cuppa about the time of the first at Orari, was fine until the races got busier, then it just switches around all over the place, someone suggested they simulcast both trackside channels seperately, it dont really bother me know more but as I've said before its airy fairy, now today right now on the radio they have Addington yet the big meeting at Cromwell nothing it's all over the place, such is life, seems the people making the important decisions dont know what they are doing, yet devoting hours of time to cricket no problem, I have no problem with that full coverage as opposed to racings bits and pieces. We've been over it enough times as well as other subjects, nought really changes.

Had a listen late in the day, about 4 40, punters club won nothing, never even broadcast last races from TeAroha nor Whanganui, what's wrong with these fuckers?

Senz are broadcasting the cricket, Garth Galloway and Coney are doing it amongst others, spose they are all dotted around everywhere linking up through the net, I wonder how that affects Coney on the ZB network, with the cricket going for 8 or 9 hours it's a bit disappointing they cant give a bit more time to the racing instead of running reruns after 6 on a saturday, af times like this, cricket that is that's when putting things on a app though is a good idea.

I know but it shows how easy it is to be flippant with anyone elses money.

Wasn't listening yesty, (working) did it win or not.

I spose with everyone having to social distance, then with all the people dying of covid, there will soon be a big drop in population, but for some social distancing and keeping two feet apart might a bit too much of a ask .😁

One problem regarding financial viability for trainers, maybe it's simply too expensive to live there.

Cup week will probably stay the same, the national meeting in August well that's a different kettle of fish, no Canterbury meeting this week, no reason why a meeting cant be scheduled sunday for Washdyke, maybe, there are gaps in the calandar that Timaru could race just to keep the course in business, just a thought.

It's not really racing but as no one post on sport but i spose others know the amount of sport you can watch through the website, the cricket tonight is on, sometimes the quality can be crap for some events, there is plenty there though just the same or does no one give a shit anyway?

Maybe they should give Waverly Boxing day as a replacement

Some people have two arseholes, the one they have and the one they are married too.

And how much did that win?

Personally I think senz with Ian Smith has been good radio, (i cant stand comedic radio host, Devlin springs to mind although hes not really comedic, more like pathetic) especially at a time of day where radios a bit sparse, some of the shit on zb, this is a pleasant change, the coverage, chat has been good.

What happened to the new prolific poster member, doesn't seem to have stayed long.😀

They sometime post the turnovers but I ain't seen them for a while.
