Imperial command just ran again.

Again the money was on.Only paying $4 for unknown reasons.I suppose Tabforever always has  plenty of reserves to tap into.

looked more relaxed tonight with a driver change to r payne.Drew the second line ,begun ok this time,settled back but got the perfect drag into it turning for home, but was struggling to make ground and  while he kept trying,never looked a place chance and ran  5th or 6th. He actually looked like he put in a couple of rough strides a couple of times but never broke.

can't blame the horse  for people over valuing him when he was sold on gavel house.

I will keep an aye on his form,but won't report anything unless it improves.

You seem paranoid about this Galah and after a busy and exciting month I read a few posts Galah where you trying to flush me out by poking the borax.......I been a little busy , you probably haven't noticed but there been some great racing this past month.

My November started with a trip to Derby Day in Melbourne , often the years best day racing with the lead into a great Melbourne Cup week with tour of big racing stable then back to NZ for the best week in NZ...Cup week. As always really enjoyed it and even came away with a pocketful of Cash ,which is very rare as I pace the Investments at the best of times.The Ashburton Trots produced an outstanding profit ,tho with 14 races...first time ever ?? ...it was a marathon and the horses racing in the distant with no big screens IMO falls well behind the 2x premier tracks in NZ . But good for a picnic and some face-painting ! Even committed the crime of racing back to Christchurch to see the NZ Cup Greyhounds to support a friends pooch. Sigh....the $100k Cup won by a Aussie dog ! Riccarton too was excellent.

I then took in race meetings at Alex Park, Ellerslie Counties and Manawatu aswell as stable and stud visits and the Ready to Run Auction........bumped into many of the well known personalities of NZ Racing both codes including Board members , CEO's and Entain bosses at various venues !

They are regularly out and about and often willing to chew the fat for a few minutes.

November racing as good as ever Galah....I strongly recommend you give up the keyboard and padded cell for a while and get out and about and enjoy the fresh air. 

It can be fun.....costs a few bob ,but the memories remain ,long after the cost is forgotten !

your living the life of Riley tabforever.Nice

I just watched the film forrest gump, on my free,for a month, sky movie channels. Paying to have trackside on sky does have its perks after all,but thats about the scale of my recent highlights.

But,if they were to make a racing movie similar to forrest gump,i'm putting your name forward, as sounds like you would be popping up everywhere....thats all i have to say about that.

me paranoid,who told you that?have you been watching me?

as to the padded cell,my wife lets me out more than you realise.... As long as i take my medication.

keep up the good work of supporting our racing,especially auckland. Auckland needs more like you.

Well done TAB, you ticking a few things off your bucket list, which is great!

When you were hob knobbing with the Entain bosses, did you enquire as to how well they thought they were travelling ?

Geez if you can make money on the gallops then you must be a pretty clever punter or just luck on the day?
