curious

I doubt Thommo will understand that.

Good. You got something right for a change.

Thommo, I'm an open minded character. Can you provide us some data set or evidence supporting your argument please?

My NZ one is nil as you know. Del Mar was pretty ok. A 9% ROI over the meeting. 14% on the 20/1 shots that I was mostly tipping though I'm not sure that your counting has improved with the remedial classes. I doubt there were 20.

His article and interpretation is about as far from a peer reviewed study as you are from lucidity.

Here we have an idiot, pretending to be a handicapper, interpreting research that has nothing to do with racing and drawing conclusions generalising a range of studies that have nothing to do with racing performance to racing performance. Absolute crap. However the more believers we can get, the better. Wonder how much Wellman was losing back in 1999, or whether he's seen the light since? http://www.goto4winds.com/horse/weighthorse2.html

Looks like yur a dead man..

I'm unclear what running trials at Foxton has to do with the Kararka sales.

Seriously, if that quote is true, he's totally in denial. She invited it? C'mon.

Whatever truth there is in this is a complete and total atrocity. The way it seems to have been handled makes me want to walk away from the industry entirely. Outrageous. Apparently admitted and alcohol is an excuse? Shocking and good on them for raising it on Melbourne Cup day when there might be a bit of an audience.

lol....hardly ever watch Trackside anymore but did for the Cup and heard some plonker say a good half an hour later, apologies that the site is still down. We are doing our best to get it up and running. We did well though, it only went down 2 minutes before the MC. Are they for real with that kind of comment? Or did I mishear? FFS!

For me, this looks like the best MC ever.

Yeahhh....and it's highly contagious.

Yeahhh they are rarely tested these days.

Imagine when she runs with blinkers on and 4kg claim! You'd just have to get on.

200s probably about right though I wish Ray and Jill, Pitty, CWJ and co the best of luck. Whether Winx should be $1.30 ish is another question.

Whomever wrote it is completely dense and can't read.

Is that where he keeps the Princess?

Quite like Rostropovich - Winx out myself.

Don't think you'll get rich. Terms & Conditions: Max bet $20

He's well up to it IMO. At his best better than most of them.

Markets suggesting that is the plan which might mean he is doubtful for the MC?

It appears they are just added to gross revenue from betting i.e. gross bets minus dividends + unpaid dividends.

Yeahh, the wrong use of or type of machinery is a sure way to stuff sandslitting in one pass. The sports fields guys know this and seem to be able to make sandslitting work effectively for years. Straight knife tines, not too deep seems to be the go. Off course sandslitting is completely useless any way unless it leads down to good primary drainage. It's illogical over a clay hardpan with a few lateral drains interspersed in that and probably causes water to sit between the hardpan and the tpsoil destabilising the surface..

Doe anyone have any detail about what is meant by rebuild cf. reconstruction cf. renovation? And would it not make more sense, instead of the cost of a synthetic and total rebuild at Riccarton and Awapuni, to rebuild with Strathayrs there and scrap the synthetics, and possibly do the reconstruction at Te Aroha as a full Strathayr rebuild and scrap the synthetic at Cambridge? There seems to be a lot of unnecessary duplication in the above plan (at great expense) and no sense of where the revenue to justify or sustain those tracks is going to subsequently come from.
