    Subjectively - I would be delighted to win a 40k maiden for my owners. But, a maiden is a maiden, can't see any justification whatsoever for the stakes differential. And, it has been said before, many times...if stakes were paid on the basis of revenue earned, we would be racing for 2k... or thereabouts. Or Willy Wightman's bag of kumaras.

    Yeah. Pokies, sportsbetting, overseas racing, the PoC tax [ i.e. the punter ] the gaming duty forgiven [ the taxpayer] ; and the long-suffering owners of horses obliged to race for 10k.
  3. Freda
    Gorgeous
  4. Freda
    Yeah. I am/was no fan of Winston, but Foreign Affairs sat well enough with him.

    She'll be right, Aqua. Nanaia Mahuta will have a wee chat and it will all be smoothed over. Get your teddies in a row.
  6. Freda
    Good points. Frightening, but makes sense.
  7. Freda
    Well, I've never understood the ire that he arouses in some. Sure, he posts crap - sometimes - but he wouldn't be the only one. And he can actually make some good points. And, if you don't like what he posts, don't effing read it! if that is too much too manage, block his posts then you won't have to be tempted to read, and then get angry.

    Oh, they don't pay, their ills are medicated at the expense of the taxpayer....grrr. Two are former meth users, another just uses cannabis, but at forty - plus and using since teenage years, disfunctional in the workplace except in small ( six weeks ) doses. Then the need to get up in the morning beats her and she leaves or gets the sack. The other is a current user and boy, does he have issues.

    Can I send you my flatmates? Now there's a challenge.
  10. Freda
    yeah, this one can spell and use the English language appropriately.

    Good article, thought provoking. An English friend said, just replace Aus with NZ, WA with S.I...! I do think, that we are a more compliant lot ( or complacent, or stupid ) but won't be long before outright rebellion starts showing, in pockets first, then more openly.
  12. Freda
    How did Balmerino fare? Grp ones here and in Aus, second in the Arc...but not sure what else.
  13. Freda
    Will be great watching.
  14. Freda
    Take Cindy.
  15. Freda
    Yep.
  16. Freda
    As long as we remain in level 4, no travel at all.
  17. Freda
    Very interesting indeed. Thanks, Chief.
  18. Freda
    More to the point, it shows what kind of outfits keep employing the bloke.
  19. Freda
    Yeah. Stupidity. A large dollop of it. And people were offended by Thomass? He could be Stephen Hawking beside this lot.
  20. Freda
    I'm stunned.

    Tito Poblete rode him quite a bit, saw Tito only a couple of years ago, in ChCh visiting his son who had a restaurant. Very interesting man.

    Ha...he was just a little black colt, you couldn't predict he was going to be as good he turned out. I was young and very new to racing, all I knew was that he was quite 'colty' and Peter didn't allow the girls near him. But Peter had a number of entires, he loved them.
  23. Freda
    I used to work for Peter Jones when I left uni...did a bit of clipping for extra money, back in the day. Do this colt, will ya? said Peter, I was suitably wary - Peter didn't let the girls handle the colts - but, he'll be ok, I'll hold him for you..he did, and he was...a black bloke by Godavari.
  24. Freda
    Yeah...I wouldn't be showing too many clips of NZ racing, Aus jocks generally leave ours for dead....but I certainly don't condone the carnage exhibited on Saturday.
  25. Freda
    Geez, you're crotchety this morning, boss....I don't think Reefton has ever claimed his track is ' perfect ' - has he? Working together for a common gain seems to be an alien concept, generally. The Auckland merger may just be a departure....perhaps ...we'll watch with interest.
