Looking very gloomy at Ellerslie, bit a wind there too looking at their silks flapping.

😄 Geez guys, it's only one race and pretty much everyone selected the same horses 😀 We'll see how the extraps are going a few races in 😆 I'm picking they'll go by the wayside! 💃

Race 1 Extraps for Old Mate vs Showtime! Old Mate go ahead by 2 with Boss N Highheels, and by 1 with Brazen Proposal and Domain Ace Showtime go ahead by 2 with Magna Memory, and by 1 with Dream of the Moon

It has been an honour to captain such gentlemen and racing scholars! 🥂💃 Go well go swell!! 🤗

You can have issues if the ground is falling away below it so when horses run on it, it gives as it would on a soft track until it gives too much. Perhaps the underlying surface was not sufficiently consolidated ?

He was 25! Wow, where did the time go. What a lovely boy he was and he left those good looks in his progeny too.

Hopefully we can lead Old Mate a merry dance, Showtime! 💃🤭

Then you woke up and realised it was all just KAOS and some other extrovert performers who just wanted to monopolise every scene and steal the show 🙂

Thanks so much Howie 🙂 So close for you guys but that's not much consolation I know... you just need to counter the KAOS next week ... I'm sure you've got a cunning Howard plan in the offing 🙂 🥂 Go the S men 🙂

Thanks so much Ray 🙂 All you need to do is play your natural game and bring some KAOS and you'll guide the bronze home 🙂 💃

Cheers for the match KAOS, Ziggy shout out to you with a beaut total on a not so easy day 🥂 .. it was a great match, with some close race finishes, other than Jenni's 🙂 but... I can't wipe the smile off my face 🙂 because I'm so proud of my team.. every week someone has stepped up with a beaut score to pull us through and showstoppers we have been for a number of teams in this comp and on we roll 🙂 Win or lose next week, it's been a blast troops 🥂 Catch ya next week Old Mates!! Grand Final!! woohoo 🥂💃

I was just looking at those calcs... that's harsh...

True that he was Maxi.. I don't think they had even entered the straight 🙂 Still in this day and age... as Declan said.. he let her run her own race... how like Sec is that! 🙂

One of those situations where it didn't matter what you were on, you just didn't want to see her get run down 🙂

Brought back memories of watching Secretariat 🥰 I just stared at the screen and my eyes were just watering. Wonderful.

They've really promoted it this year on all media streams and run it alongside champions in the Waikato in other sports, especially cycling. I think putting it out there as a real sport, not just a gambling event, has paid dividends. It's like we are going back 20 years, when everyone preferred a night at Cambridge to the cold and sterile, concrete jungle of Alex Park and I hope that they go on from here with this level of interest.

Go the Iceman 🙂 great friend of the family and on a big night.. who else 🙂

Hey Pete, did you watch million dollar homes last night? They had Paul Barber on and he was selling his rooftop London apartment. Pretty decent one bedroom, done up like a NY loft and had brill views over London to Big Ben.
