And the plonkers cut it out of the video replay. Clipped heels?

I think that's Freda's point.

I'd say they'll be planning to add a couple more to make them accessible to as much of the horse population as possible but resources don't allow doing that in one hit. Maybe a partnership with freight companies to move horses there when they have empty spaces?

Yes, the Troggs version reached #5 in the UK and #7 in the US, however the WWW version remains the best selling love ballad in the UK.

Now mardigras and still posts occasionally on theraceplace.

So do I.

Yes. Will you?

1994 Four Weddings and a Funeral. One of my favourite karaoke songs then. The Wet Wet Wet version. However, even Wet Wet Wet got so sick of it, they withdrew it from sale when it was still selling 120,000 copies a week. A very odd choice for a TAB ad I thought, especially if trying to appeal to a contemporary audience who probably never even heard of it.

Doing a good job with limited resources I think.

Has it been suggested that trainers are avoiding the AWTs because of safety issues?

So you are saying that an ex-racehorse (i.e a horse that raced) has raced in a pony scurry this year? Did it win?

Another one for those who think it doesn't get people into the industry.

I'm very surprised that there is no mention of the irrigation in the stipes report on the matter. It will also be interesting to see if NZTR pays the club its race day fees given the apparent non-compliance (or worse) with race day preparation guidelines and protocols.

And the winner of the first 2yo trial went 44.46!

Oncoming train?

Should get one for this too but it will nowhere near cover costs.

Oatham also mentioned the persistent heavy fog but fog is NOT precipitation. No mention of the unreported irrigation, How much or when?

Have a look at the first. Cutting out and shifty to my eye and I was very pleased we didn't go.

Good afternoon Given the abandonment of the Waimate Meeting at Timaru on Sunday after two races a new meeting has been scheduled for the synthetic track at Riccarton Park on Wednesday 12 June. This meeting will require new nominations. NZTR looked at grass alternatives at both Oamaru and Ashburton, however these options were not viable. Nominations for both Wednesday and Thursday at Riccarton will close at 12 noon on Monday 10 June. Please nominate on-line if possible. If nominating via the bureau please be very specific as to which day you are nominating for. Withdrawals for Wednesday’s meeting will close with the bureau at 2pm on Monday 10 June. Withdrawals for the Thursday meeting will close at the usual time of 10am on Tuesday 11 June.

NZTR and the club, as always, reserve the right to delete races due to insufficient nominations or double nominations.

Oatham said there had been a couple of showers this morning. But at Timaru airport less than 5kms away, there was NO rain measured between midnight and midday.

Is that unusual?
