    What role does he have at the ODT,news or racing?
  2. mikeynz
    Second from the right, maybe the guy who was the writer, a guy Cannon perhaps.
  3. mikeynz
    Rob Fielder on the left perhaps, wonder if Rob Muldoons there, maybe standing behind the others😄

    Did the Royal wedding too i think, in fact he did a fair bit of commentating when one thinks of it, Stanley Rio winning the the interdoms too.

    i think Reon Murtha did a bit of rugby calling too.3ZB did a lot of local rugby those days,same as the days when Ian Galloway,excuse the spelling if incorrect, he always did the main match on club day from Carisbrook.

    Eric Percy called international rugby matches, im picking touring matches played in Nelson and Marlborough?

    Am I correct that even though the cricketers have been vaccinated,they still have to do quarantine when they come back home.

    Just to add,watching video , as in races on ya smartphone burns up your data and your battery, to say you can watch and listen free is a load of crap,buying data all the time adds up too,the simulcast the tab have on the rova app is better than nothing but not much. You have ya internet at home then ya cost for pay tv and your phone charges, it all adds up.

    These are the days, Saturdays that no radio is a pain,i will be out later so will miss some of the main races,technology is brilliant but not the be all and end all and not always a option, we dont always have time to ef around with smartphones.

    Personally i think there was an irony that Jacinda Adern was put in charge of the labour party , august the first which strangely is the same day horses have their birthday.😃 As for the greyhounds i dont give a shit about them, but and its a big but if others like greyhounds then good for them, its a free country, not sure though for how much longer.

    It's not just racing that's losing its relevance, like it ir not rugby is now less relevant,apart from the ABS most be people dont give a shit,its just our changing society,super rugby is just to make money to pay players,below that it too has issues too,no one watching at the ground,NPC, club rugby is almost being killed off,possibly not in the rural towns as such,our society is changing,despite all our so called knowledge society as a whole seems to be taking a 2 steps forward,3 back,we arnt really a smarter society in reality.

    well this is where it gets interesting,who do you think is the administrator? Maybe he has called the police lol.

    I don't think there is anything wrong with posting comments, I just don't like getting into slagging anybody personally,we must remember this is still a public forum, I wouldn't like to read someone calling me a cheat or whatever, not that I am but constructive comment is not destructive.

    7 races and about 65 horses give or take a few at Ruakaka yesty,is this really viable,how many horses are trained there,with Counties Sunday and Matamata Friday, Te Rapa Saturday, ain't there enough meetings up north. Otaki today have 7 races today,Hastings only 8 Saturday,it seems a long time since the spike in numbers after the lockdown.

    Another good article on Alexy in the ODT today,seems hes going to outlive a racecourse that's over a hundred years old,some achievement,I suspect that some of the journos must read these comments or threads on this site,the ODT ran a story on the spitfire after he won too,probably had the spitfire not been so popular on here ,wouldn't have caught anyone's attention.
  18. mikeynz
    I had a look at the fields for Southland,below average really,one thing that come to mind though was why run 2 open handicap races,1600 and 1200 for 15000 each,there are 5 in one and 6 in the other,why not run one for 30000,it would probably get more entries for a start and probably would bump up the numbers for the supporting races,Riverton did well a fortnight ago,seems a bit odd a lot are absent for this meeting,just a thought anyway.
  19. mikeynz
    i see forbury the poster has reported chief stipe over a comment,i wonder how he will get on.
  20. mikeynz
    i will confirm, the racecourse,as for the other, not sure, the post sometimes are rather interesting.
  21. mikeynz
    It's not going to be the same without Forbury,nor Alexy for that matter.
  22. mikeynz
    Didn't see the race but I see it pulled up,must have got a bad check,a certainty beaten,be on it next time.
  23. mikeynz
    I read in ODT saturday there is no guarantee they will race those winter dates at this stage. Surely though with the spitfire, and Alexy lining surely this is going to captivate all harness followers lol but it seems not.
  24. mikeynz
    Has anybody noticed yet?
  25. mikeynz
    I've done some extra look .I got this one wrong,will see if can get this thread deleted
