Well I took up Doug's invite and tried to join the redacted site. Waiting for approval. I don't expect it to happen.

Doesn't Gazza have a share in Belclare? 

 

Yes I think he does.

And another know it all over there thinks she wont make a Million...be very surprised if she does not..however he seems to think he knows everything about everything....🤣

He who knows all has revised his estimate to $950,000. Of course he couldn't say a million because then he might be seen to agree with estimates on here 

This sentence made me laugh though. 

"Anyway great to have an opinion and state it.  That's open to ALL on BOAY."

If you can construe any sort of relationship between the icons above and Te Akau colours I'd suggest you skip Specsavers and see a psychiatrist.

Trackside 2 has always had an orange theme and Trackside 1 blue.

Maybe you should actually check the channels out rather than pass judgment based on a promo.

It's back on Freeview this morning.

I checked it out and can't see any resemblance to Te Akau colours. A touch of paranoia?

imo 1.25m which i think is too much but inflated by the easy prize money on offer in NSW  and Victoria.

8 group races in Sydney Saturday just gone.

I reckon a million at least. She's a dual G1 winning Per Incanto mare.

Apparently being sold at Magic Millions Sale soon.

Some halfwit on another forum reckons she'll fetch $250,000.

Seriously?

One of my fave Neil Young songs done by Dave Matthews and friends

 

Love that song. Interestingly, Neil's version was banned in Spain during General Franco's regime.

Sincere condolences are sent to Ron (Tassie Tiger) whose wife Lisa passed away suddenly on Easter Sunday she was only 56.
Paramedics were unable to revive her. She will be sadly missed by her family Ron and son Ryan.  Thanks Rob.

Scratching replacement for Steve P in comp race 9.

RIP Pam. I don't think I was ever on the same team as Pam but she was always hard to beat and will be sorely missed by everyone on here.

My personal view, and that's all it is, is that the Triple Joker tends to distort the comps.

I'd be happy if we got rid of it.

Programming for Easter racing has always been an issue, because Easter Sunday can fall anytime from March 22 to April 25.  Some say the Easter Handicap should be on Easter Saturday, but easier said than done, and NZ racing is not known for its programming capability

They actually used to manage to run the Easter Handicap on Easter Saturday until they dicked around with everything by creating an Auckland Cup carnival early March.

Forget I spoke, people. 😊
I regret I "saw red" over something, and although some people's subsequent posts indicated only a limited level of comprehension of the core issue that I "saw red" over, I can confirm that my tantrum is now over. 
Let's get back to focussing on what a wonderful competition this is. I look forward to it every Saturday.

Apologies for my flippant comment Howie.

Are you a bit bored today Howie?

One of the Greatest Songs ever made !!!!!!  you'll enjoy this one. "searching for some happiness' in Little Green Bag.

they're actually a Dutch band. George Baker just a stage-name to sell internationally

This is another Video from 1970. Absolutely Terrible video (as all were in those days), where while making the first years of music videos.... they had NO IDEA what to film so they were just walking around and smoking stuff, and drinking for the Video !!! hahaha  enjoy !! there's even a nice horse in it lol.

 

Great song.

Johannes "Hans" Bouwens (born 8 December 1944), known as George Baker, is a Dutch singer and songwriter who, with his band George Baker Selection, scored three international hits; "Little Green Bag" (1969), "Paloma Blanca" (1975) and "Santa Lucia by Night" (1985).

Broad shoulders, Hesi...!

The comments on there tell you a lot about the posters and especially the person who runs it.

None of it too positive in my view.
