  1. Another lost
  2. Purdons are champions - I applaud them and they are totally professional and that's why they dominate - if you can't beat them join them comes to mind
  3. I exited harness 10 years ago after reasonable involvement but with the racing today and the stakes would never go back - rather have my current 10% in gallopers in 0z going round for $130k each Saturday but that too is bloody hard - you need good animals, very good to crack it
  4. For me the distance - not the all stars - just mile racing just doesn't do it for me - I once liked it but 10 years on I am left cold - just don't enjoy it anymore
  5. Agree with Blackie - not doing the industry any long term good - boring as - a rethink needed
  6. Only punt on course - like to see what I punt
  7. Advocating the inverted triangle - info from the bottom up not the top down - culture The bodies could be Trainers, Jockeys, stable hands, Punters, Owners, TAB patrons, Racecourse attendees etc etc - none listens to these groups For me races should be run from 1pm to 4pm - 8 races 25 minutes apart - no way would I go for an 11.30 start and 5.00 finish - I gave grandkids who play cricket and hockey in the morning
  8. I am hopeful that Messara will force Management to listen and act on the bodies that currently seem to be ignored - a genuine cohesive approach to righting the ills I have a dream ..... Tom
  9. Yep - same ownership as Natuzzi
  10. Surely it is a joke
  11. Great he is back - a winner and we go to another level - superstar
  12. So right Kak, give NZ a very wide berth till September - it now is a total lottery and the 2 meetings yesterday were the worst possible advert beamed into Aussie - terrible but it us winter racing if that's your go , not for me
  13. Do we test in NZ - the rule reads identical in both domains
  14. The first track I would close down or spend a fortune in doing up - I just can't get excited for it yet they have a great progressive Board and are super hosts but the track us shtye - Tom
  15. Ashley $109k non industry day Rosehill, $10k Matamutter - rethink where the pony should be
  16. Black book Prawn Star - was thumped
  17. You are right there Pukekohe is just as bad
  18. For some reason Barry it always happens at Wanganui - and it looks bad
  19. If mum can ride it in work each day that will help reduce costs and keep her fully involved, but Mr Waller would need to be convinced All the best to you and mum
  20. Has to be very firm for Ferrando + not today for me
  21. Turny

    Christchurch in June is cold Globe, but the covered stables help
  22. Good point Kakama, but yes all races should be covered. I am a starter
  23. Bruce used to run a "punters club" on Cup Day at Addington and always went well - can't recall but think it was $50 entry and drawn races
  24. Would give it away if down to AP and Addington, just not my places now - and sad to go where so few there - troubled times sadly
  25. Hutt Park, but got hurt there many times
