No Brylcream now?

Who is it Brodster ? We had a 'Colgate Kid ' here in Oz at Harold Park. 

Very funny story you (and Blackie) would find amusing. He was the leading Trainer /Driver at Harold Park around 1995. Big gleaming smile to get the nickname. will see if can find a photo. His Brother had a punt against their hot fav stable runner and they 'Cut the Hopples' to make horse gallop so it didn't win . got life Ban lol 😂

Coloresque failed to finish as short-priced favourite in a race at Harold Park on November 14, 1995, and a subsequent marathon inquiry found the pacer's hopples had been deliberately cut.

It was alleged Gleeson's brother Matthew had placed a winning superfecta bet on the race, omitting Coloresque from the first six placings for a net profit of $12,000.

Matthew Gleeson and Queensland harness racing licensee Paul Skinner were also given life bans.download.jpg.4ff294cdb455a86397f053e84bb97eb4.jpg

Haha 😂, beats letting  the hopples out a couple of holes.

LoL.. is that a kiwi trick ? Bit of cunning way to gallop out the back ?

Those idiot Gleeson boys used a blade to do some cutting  and WTF ? didn't they expect the stewards to inspect the Broken gear flapping about the legs of the odds on favourite ?

Maybe they should of just put the horse in their Superfecta bet would of been easier lol.. 😆

Sure.  Use ice cold butter and do the rubbing in as quickly as possible.  Heat the oven to 220 prior to rubbing in butter and bring back to 200 when putting scones onto bake.  

Top man our Chief Stipe.

Going to give this a go, may even post photos if I can figure out how to.

I'm confused Chief. 

Are you baking scones at home or indulging in some K Road sauna activities. Seems to be far too much rubbing for scone making.

Salacious gossip.  I guess the NZ Trotting fan base has a lot in common with the Country Women's Institute.  Any crochet patterns to share?
