Murray Fish Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 sigh, from the slowlearnersclub, would Avondale and 69 get me a ticket in this race? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't like to comment on your guess other than to say you would be light on numbers. You also need to provide a number for the other meeting So the entry format is: 1. Club with the most and number; 2. The number for the second club. For example: 1. Avondale, 178. 2. 72. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAB For Ever Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 And my wife......Susan of Herne Bay ,she just home from the Pub ,thinks its still 6 o'clock closing tells me I always wrong and that Avondale often get near 180 and that Puke could have 6 or 7 maiden races including a maiden 2100 for Amateurs plus 2 x $17k races for r60 and r75. Susan says 1. 175 [5 will get stuck in traffic ] 2. 95 [Susan says jockeys love riding Maidens !] 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Had to grow up in NZ (south Auckland) with a framed picture of my dad with Robert' Piggy' Muldoon on the wall , having a beer with him at the pub. Piggy Muldoon was the Minister for Finance at the time and was instrumental earlier in helping with the change. He came in as Prime Minister later on mid 70's and kept office for a decade or so as was quite popular . He Even raced a few harness horses I believe . not sure if he dabbled in gallopers or not.

Only 99 at Avondale today , somewhat disappointing but I guess $600 for a day out seen as a deterrent for many especially on the bog track...1min 20 plus for 1200m and 1.06 for 950 and heading to the outside fence not such a great guide for punters or CV for sale. And after a few scratchings tomorrow 85 should be bang on. I guess you will want to pay out early , and get in the post so the bikkies and any treats stay fresh.

Supposedly because the Truck carrying the starting gates couldn't get there. Perhaps Avondale paddlocked them!!! MEETING NEWS Pukekohe Meeting Abandoned Today’s ATR Meeting at Pukekohe Park has been abandoned due to a mechanical failure with the truck carrying the starting gates. More information will follow.

TAB For Ever Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 NZTR certainly proactive...with their excuses . One would guess they possibly being moved from previous recent use and no 'buffer' time allowed for to save a few bucks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gammalite Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 What was the final score Chief ? 99-0 like TaBman said.? sounds like a All blacks v Queensland rugby score 😆😂 I guess you keep the beans as you'll need a few coffees with No races to watch at Pukekohe.☕ Sandown will more than likely still kick off though. Have one for you too. Race 6 . Number 4 Alhumbra Palace. Will out-stay that slow lot getting out in distance this time, and Shinn riding very well lately too.

I'm trying to work out the T's and C's. However I'm definitely not sending charity to a height challenged relative. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
