Weasel

A further reminder to anyone nearing the point of insanity as a result of copping al lthis endless drivel from Thomass (always so being wise after the event but never clever enough to alert us before the event) ...YOU CAN BLOCK HIS POSTS.

she might toss away the Oaks for another reason ...doesnt get 2400m anyway anyhow.. gear changes might help a horse in different ways but it wont necessarily get a 2000m horse 2400m.

totally agree.. Murtha is a major irritant, constantly playing with his pen, pretending to tick things off his list; terrible posture, always looking at the wrong camera, and with as much personality and energy as a dead brick; Sherwin and Guerin give useful industry insights but I'm surprisedthey cant find anyone out there who's got the sort of professional presentation skills and knowledge that Ozzie has truckloads of ....Radley is a master; Dufficy... Richo, Lizzie ...an endless list of energetic insightful presenters who know how to make their points but keep the show movin' along...

Midgets neddy won with them 2nd up...after being caught wide without cover first up Ah...so what happened first-time BO, Thomasss ??...it didn't work!! Becos neddy was 'caught wide without cover'...if it had won you'd be saying despite being caught wide without cover. What you DON'T SAY is that your pet theory FAILED.

On Sunday morning NZ time one of the biggest events on the global thoroughbred racing calendar takes place ..Dubai World Cup. NZ TAB has issued a FO market ..very good, clever chaps aren't they? ...but if you want to look at the relative merits of the contenders ...horse, jockey, trainer whatever ..nothing. See example of Thunder Snow below ... Hence one clicks out of that page and gives up again..cos the NZ TAB does not give a toss about providing the information needed to have a wee flutter ..even on one of the world's richest and most prestigious races! Not good enough, TAB. Get it sorted. You have all of Saturday to do so.

Almost another fine cotton pickin mess she got us into!

A better chance in the Sydney Cup for mine ...having said that, he's a strong stayer and that 2400m tomorrow on a wet track might bring some of the classier wfa types back to him..and will feel like 2700m anyway. You couldnt back him on the way he handled the ground last time though.. so I'll risk him.

does that include the sex change ?

You can't have Australian Punters believing he's suss at the barriers and a punting risk... Why not? We can make more money (if he's good enough!) LOL.

I hope this country is not going to go totally silly/precious over this sort of stuff. Why can't the Law of Common Sense apply?

7 starts..relatively young racehorse...nothing to lose by taking on the world ... Winx? nothing to gain by travelling the world...her race record - esp her track-record-breaking times and impressive sectionals on all kinds of going - speaks for itself and there has been nothing to stop the internationalists from taking her on in the Cox Plate three years running ..some have tried and clearly failed ...the closest to her was Humidor and he's essentially a Kiwi....why didn't Enable or Arrogate or others have a crack at Winx Down Under? It will be shame f she gets beat in the QE Stakes..but shed have to fall over or Huey fall off I reckon!

can't be sure Winston will be awake for enough hours in the day to get his deals done on Racing with Taxinda's socialist Cabinet...unless it was pre-agreed as part of the coalition...(?) Winnie has not helped his own cause by falling asleep at the wheel in Turkey; if she wanted to, Jacinda could call an early election and govern alone ...

Spooky timing...yes, Ian, I see no point in The Autumn Sun carrying on to the 2019 Cox Plate ....and that's a beautifully worded tribute from John Messara. Condolences to all connected with this champion.

i cannot help but be impressed by the stoicism and positivity of the Muslim community. I also wonder how this country's people would have reacted if the victims had been slaughtered while: worshipping at Destiny Church worshipping at an Anglican Church meeting at a marae watching a super rugby game visiting Te Papa

and she is totally worthy of one, Thomass...why do you have to constantly have to pick holes in a perfect racehorse?

pointless argument, I guess, but ...Secretariat !

No one seems to rate Beauty Generation as a challenge for Winx ..over 1600m would be quite interesting!

more nonsense rom you Thomass..why do you choose to ignore the 2 starts with blinkers on when Consensus was unplaced...? or is she only a 'blinkers on neddy' after she's won?

well spotted, John

understatnd your angst, Mo... he also called Savastep SAVAPAK at the start... have to say though, that Bruce os generally pretty reliable as a caller with a good 'read' of a race

just the way you do now, Vhief ...advertising ...and you could charge those entering the Comps a modest fee.

Mr Godber has given himself a week to come uo with an answer. In the absence of anything more compelling, it's probably going to be; "They forgot."

Of course. "But Dad, she drove me outta my mind, outta my mind, outta my mind ..." LOL. He didn't talk to me for a week.

When I was 15 and in the 6th Form, I got my Drivers Licence ...around that time my Dad bought a cheap Vauxhall Viva (or mebbe a Velox) as a birthday present for my 17 year-old brother (an apprentice jockey)...he spent hours doing it up and even put a lambskin cover on the driver's seat cos the upholstery was so crappy. I pleaded with Dad to use the car before he gave it to my brother ..."give it a bit of a training run" the weekend before...a day trip down to Lake Ferry to visit my new 'girlfriend' (she had flirted with me at the Table Tennis Champs, so I was rather smitten by this rather buxom long-haired blonde!) Off I went, had a very nice time, thank you, and drove home, car a bit sluggish going up the hills home, but I put it down to its decrepit motor and old-age. Well, Dad didn't take long to notice something sinister...oil seeping/flowing where it shouldn't (ie the wheels). I'd driven all the way home with handbrake on.

Hesi' and Pete's site RP.net has 50 Active Members with a total of 786 posts as of yesterday. I venture to suggest that the vast majority of those posts have come from Hesi and Pete. That's understandable. I expect that many/most BOAYERS will be encouraged to defect/move to RP. I won't be doing so, unless BOAY closes down or the site fails to deliver what I enjoy most from it ...specifically, the opportunity to share my love of racing with sane and/or sensible, quirky, wise, funny, interesting, colourful like-minded grown-ups!
