A week won't matter but two weeks will.  Under Level 4 you can't fast work!!!  Which is bizarre - whoever negotiated that doesn't understand horse training and must have got blindsided by MPI.

The South Island might get out of Level 4 next week but I don't see the North Island getting close.  A North Island trainer would have to consider shipping their horses south sooner than later. 

Word is that Auckland will be locked down for 4 weeks minimum!

Yep a great result for business and mental health!

Which part of you can not eradicate virus do this lot not understand?

Why dont they give us the suicide rates and business fold ups numbers?

Yes back in my day the Louisson and National Handicaps were often the starting point for many OC pacers in Canterbury.

More recently horses have had much shorter build ups, so effect minimal at this stage.

Copy That was pretty awesome in Brisbane all through July ! shame he didn't stay as would clean up week to week like his old stablemate Tommy Lincoln is. would of been an easy winning prep for the Cup and FFA in Nov at Addington.

Do you think he (Copy That) can get revenge in this years Cup ?  for that poor getaway last year when NZ cup Fav?

He did stick on well in the Auckland Cup over 2 miles New Years eve behind Amazing Dream and behind her in Brisbane for the Group 1 distance race as well. I think he can do it this year !

I guess this Topic thread takes the top prize for meandering all over the place!!!

I admire @Gammalite's ability to keep thinking about pacing horses!!!

Chief, doubt there is going to be racing in Auckland for many weeks!

The deadly covid 19 virus that we are locked down for has not killed a single person!

People are easily led nowadays and can not think for themselves, they need a government to tell them what to do!

Sorry Chief !!  no NZ Cup for Noodlum. not good enough ????

so doesn't join the elite list of greats to do so . Gammalite failed as well sadly.

the other champ to miss out was Young Quinn with just 2 x thirds. driven by Robert Cameron and Peter Wolfenden for those 2 thirds as well !! (the two best drivers of the 70's) Robalan beat him in one of them

What about this!!!  https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/covid-19-coronavirus-delta-outbreak-mitre-10-awards-dinner-attendees-close-contacts-after-bar-worker-tests-positive/3LRQPXUXNBZRULVC6NSLDBTE5Y/

Almost a thousand people at a corporate awards dinner have been told they're close contacts after a bar worker tested positive for Covid-19.

A screenshot of a message sent to attendees at the Mitre 10 2021 Awards ceremony at Spark Arena in downtown Auckland on Thursday last week has been given to the Herald.

"Dear awards dinner attendee", the message begins.

"We have been informed by Uno Loco, organisers of the Mitre 10 awards dinner, that one of the bar staff working at the event last Thursday, August 12, has tested positive for Covid-19.

This is reall going to sink us mate!!

Wont sink me, but yes very damaging to many!

This will ruin business and relationships and peoples lives and for what?

A virus that is less deadly than the common flu that take out 500 to 1000 each year but we can not mention this!

Problem is that the easily led have been scared so much that many can not think for themselves now.

The big problem is that the damage that people did by voting Ardern back in has got hkrrendous implications for the country in the years ahead!

Long as they run the Chung Wah Restaurant Handicap Trot over 3200m on the second Tuesday in November little else matters.

Brodie, word on the street is that there is a Covid positive in West Melton.

Been told whAt the person does.
Dont shoot the messenger!

Watch this space!

Word on social last nite I read multiple posters including these 2 + other posters saying that there was a case in CHC, but nothing was reported at 1pm today.

Your case could be different to what those peeps were talking about however.

Interesting that Hillary Barry has been pulled off the air on Seven Sharp has to self isolate due to her being at the Mitre10 awards last week!

Why on earth is Jeremy Wells still on Seven Sharp as he should be self isolating as he has been sitting alongside Hillary????!

This has just become a Circus and needs to end NOW!
