He needs a pick me up.....a bit like the one ken Webber used to give pete Fergusons old mate cinimod junior!

Only after dark

Now is that hippie the real pic of you ranga?

Poor junior!

I suppose the other trainers have had a bit of time to change the weir horses conditioning techniques and judging by those results a more softly approach has worked just as well.

What odds will the Tab offer that Armando ends up in Mr wun hung loe's flakey pastry when his best breeding days are behind him?

Great to see they've put the hopples back on and Gary Hall is slowly building him back up to fitness after his horrific reaction to an injection while in N.Z, he was looking like being the shining light of a very poor NZ cup field. Really hope he can eventually get back to being able to compete again with the best of them.

They all went to really good trainers which helps..I happened back red cardinal on Saturday due to his great 2nd up record and he blew them away, great results for the owners of these horses that must have been left wondering about their horses real ability outside the weir stable.

Now five years old and just sold for a small fortune, this Belgium racing pigeon has won all there is to win in pigeon racing and is retiring to stud, these hand reared racing pigeons can live up to 20 years. You certainly won't find him crapping on statues in his local park.

Very good honest from the heart stuff Reefton, well written. It is So much part of a whole west coast community, those on course figures for the 4 days at riccarton were appalling by a city racecourse standard.

I worked from home yesterday and watched the dogs at palmy just to listen to the commentators, really good stuff , I remember they used to have a commentators night at Addington trots in the 80's really entertaining.

Why don't you read your post before this one and see how you have just shot yourself in the foot!..... again come over all high and mighty and then fall off your high chair

Be interested to see it, we need these kind of unique NZ tracks, they are special and have long been part of our racing culture.

"Remember when" nice trotting family

Come on fellas, this is all getting out of hand......let's just move on ...too many bad things going on for us to all attack each other.

Well done basil, so you condone a man being assaulted for having an opinion (and like everyone else he vehemently condemned the the terror attack) albeit a poorly timed opinion.. but you think he deserved it, I bet you also would have said that if he were badly hurt or worse....the last thing people have in this world is free speech which is slowly being taken away by virtue signalers people like yourself who condone violence to suit your own agenda but condemn people's right to free speech when it offends you!

For me there is nothing more beautiful than the straight out trotter ..harness racing in its purist form!

I'm having one more go on Jaffa kitten at $13

You need to go to some of these places happy and see for yourself

I'm not religious happy and the paedophiles in the church are certainly abhorrent, but the quar'an even says 2 women are worth 1 man! You just have to look at all the rapes of women on new years eve across Europe by Muslim men to see how much they respect women...Sorry happy but the results of Islam in Europe is enough to see Islam and the west do not work as they do not give anything back and countries are finally recognising this although probably too late for Sweden and Germany.

Christianity has come out of the dark ages as far as a religion goes, Islam still holds the same values it has held for 1000's of years ...homosexuals are not tolerated, women are oppressed and the great prophet says it is fine to beat them, sharia law is what all Muslims strive to live under in the long run and those who don't convert to Islam will be slaughtered........this ideology is not a religion of peace..... even as welcoming a lot of countries in Europe have been to refugees they certainly haven't reciprocated with all the rapes, stabbings, murders etc. Last year Austria knocked down 9 mosques and deported 60 imams due to the hate preaching and radicalisation going on, and you can only imagine how much of it is going on else where in Europe... unfortunately this all just inflames the far right.

Yes you just have to go to Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Italy, France, u.k, Austria, France, Belgium and so on, to see the problems caused....two countries in the E.U that have refused to take refugees Hungary and Poland are two of the only places free of terror attacks.

Him and JJ will be having a giggle about it in the bubble bath they share tonight!?

One was a member of the public who happened to have a gun on him and said "he was helping police" he was released....can't help with the other 2

That's the scary truth Headley
