    I'm confused...not that that is hard to do..but I'm at a loss to comprehend wtf this has to do with anything?
  2. Freda
    You are not likely to either. The opinion from on high is that here is nothing wrong with it. I feel for the track staff who surely know otherwise, but don't have the means at their disposal to do anything other than basic maintenance and patching.
  3. Freda
    Absolutely. No problem at all with their charges, the operation is top class, every attention to detail given. The trouble is, trying to compete with inferior horses, inadequate staff ( because the top bracket wages are unaffordable for many) and the high profile riders often look down their noses at smaller trainers, won't ride their horses, or worse- ride them badly and couldn't give a toss.

    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.

    Gorgeous

    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.
  9. Freda
    Good points. Frightening, but makes sense.
  10. 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.
  12. Freda
    Can I send you my flatmates? Now there's a challenge.
  13. Freda
    yeah, this one can spell and use the English language appropriately.
  14. Freda
    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.
  15. Freda
    How did Balmerino fare? Grp ones here and in Aus, second in the Arc...but not sure what else.
  16. Freda
    Will be great watching.
  17. Freda
    Take Cindy.
  18. Freda
    Yep.
  19. Freda
    As long as we remain in level 4, no travel at all.
  20. Freda
    Very interesting indeed. Thanks, Chief.
  21. Freda
    More to the point, it shows what kind of outfits keep employing the bloke.
  22. Freda
    Yeah. Stupidity. A large dollop of it. And people were offended by Thomass? He could be Stephen Hawking beside this lot.
  23. 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.
  25. Freda
    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.
