  1. No racing in Canterbury for 3 weeks,it dont happen often.
  2. Maybe they dont like each other no more,it does happen in life.
  3. Not from me man, just a casual comment.No conspiracy.
  4. Maybe they think they've done all they can do or some other reason we've have yet to learn about.
  5. I may have been talking the southerners up too much,wait till Ascot Park,that will get the ship back on course again aye😉
  6. A lot that go for the pissup probably dont bet anyway.they ain't a permanent fix for the industry.
  7. John Phillips has 2nominated for Ascot Park next week so he is still around anyway they have only 7 races for Wednesday but surely they can run xtra races,limits of only 12 of the sprint races,that's seems a bit small field size wise.

    Judges calls

    He's interviewing the loser?😳
  9. Should use starting stalls,just need to be careful they don't rip the wheels off on the way out,would be entertaining no doubt.
  10. Just watched it,looked like Copy That wasn't fully on the job but still wasn't a even start.
  11. Just like commentators and the guy doing the after race interviews sometimes it's not good,they are only human but it would a good deed though if the Tab refunded all the punters after every race that a horse had a bad start or got a bad run lol
  12. I haven't seen the start of the race but have seen a lot of standing starts that are not that flash,so will someone do any better than this Lamb guy remains to be seen,I'm not into personal criticism of someone as such but maybe someone newer with a fresher appetite for the job is worth a go,how manyyears has lamb been the starter?
  13. Did he get one in the cup?
  14. 4 in the cup on saturday.
  15. Been reading the odd old story about John Phillip's,used to train up to 15 or so horses but recently just the odd one or two nowadays,so why listed as 26 seems a bit unprofessional of website,would be good to know if it's still trained out of southland or somewhere else.
  16. The real southern horses from Southland had a good day and in someways validates the strength of southern racing as a rule,I think they are underrated,and always pay good divs at Riccarton.
  17. Personally I think harness racing is getting a bit mundane to be honest,the better gallops from oz are a top product,the trots at present just repeat after repeat but it is what it is.
  18. Maybe it would be better to do an interview after all the paperwork after the race is over,you do catch them in the heat of the moment and sometimes the interview is a bit gibberish,maybe Cookson will learn and do better next time,Greg O Connor was not too bad at that
  19. John Phillips mIght be back at Winton training those 25 others it says in love racing.........in all seriousness though it states its trained in Winton but has done all its racing in Canterbury since lockdown,maybe as it has won some story might crop up sometime soon.
  20. Maybe it was pre arranged.
  21. They would be a lot slower now.
  22. Who would want to be the starter,interviewer,driver of a non all stars horse?the magic of cup day 2020.🙂
  23. That wasn't a good interview after the cup,however might just be out of his depth.
  24. As a race,very average.
  25. I'm not watching but as educated guess that doesn't sound like good interviewing to me.
