The spitfires back.
-
Tuepeka raced at labour weekend back in October,getting back to the calandar Wyndham now race on April fools day,a Thursday before Easter and Manawatu now have the night to themselves,it was shared with Addington but they have moved a day ahead,will be interesting to see if that day works out for Wyndham,it's often a get things done before everything shuts up for the break day.
-
If Forbury close why don't Tuepeka race at Roxburgh,holiday weekend,same size track,and Tuepeka is on the Clutha river,last year was down for Oamaru,it is a long way away.
-
I think that Nelson and Blenheim winter circuit should be reinstated,2 trips to the coast a year,two to the top of the south,judging by numbers owners/trainers don't mind travelling now and then,or do we just have the same old Addington Friday night Sunday afternoon repetition?
-
Maybe if Sunday at Easter becomes a Raceday,good Friday is the real holy day,the Sunday not so much,that Tuesday after Easter has often been a mix up,some people take that day off.
-
I think that Netball coach getting a knighthood was a joke,sure they won the World Cup but in reality they only won 2 games of note,maybe if one could win a couple more world cups then maybe then,knighthoods are for people who achieve extreme heights,Shadbolts another joke.
-
Just watching Wingatui, a big grass track and a training track inside so where would a all weather trotting go,if any?
-
Land agents would sell their own mother in law.
-
What about no betting?
-
I also note that Deux Ex,hope the spellings correct is now back in the ownership of the breeders according to hrnz site,seems the Knights dropped out quickly aye.
-
Maybe there is overkill?
-
I've just been checking out the results from that first meeting I went to Forbury,that was a midweeker as Auckland had the intercoms. Gee good fields,good horse,that was par for the course for Forbury in those days so one question,where has it gone so wrong,any answers? Just to add hrnz website has great historic results section,one can get lost in them for ages.
-
I think Southland Race club should buy them,uts their course,might be looking at something to inject life back in to place but frankly in summer its daylight till ten,in winter well it's too cold,isn't that one of Forburys downfall,winter racing?
-
Whatever.
-
Southland Race club president reckons trotting club buy Forbury lights and have night racing in Southland,any thoughts ?
-
They probably do but not keen to go to Auckland in case they get some nasty disease🤨
-
North Otago got well beat,over an innings,that guy Smith got 5 for 32 skutteling Nelson for just over a hundred in the challenge and then lose him for the defence,I guess there is a reason he got the call for the Otago team but it's a bit of kick in the guts for North Otago,that's life.
-
Winning by 8 lengths,unreal.
-
I spose Americans use the word trump that we in New Zealand call imbecile.
-
Where does the expression rooting for him come from😆
-
Maybe they took the blindfold off. All in all I good story really. I never ever doubted his ability😁
-
Sorry I dont see what a cricketer has to do with racing,enlighten me plz
-
Now be fair,that guy Smith did do well in the challenge match in Neilson,then when you defend the cup he gets called up for the volts As for the spitfire I will believe it when I see it.
-
Gee complaining about rain in Oamaru in February,don't,having said that seems when Waikouiti race it seems to attract rain,remember 2 or 3 years back ? I think North Otago are hosting a Hawke cup Cricket match too, I see their star players been called up for the Otago team,could the rain be a secret weapon or is it all over already,does anybody know?
-
Sorry but I've basically repeated a post two or three post above,such is life.
