Come on T, that's two post-race winners in the last week! And now you are pulling Ace in for backup 😁

Solid result the Fame team! Another great commentary from PJ, like a thriller novel rolling off the keyboard! I just hope my teammates get into character next week! Tough task next week. Bruno Shorofsky Coco Angelo Ralph Lisa Farrell Montgomery Lydia 😁 Let's not drop our hands! Leroy

R1 7-12 BB R2 2-3 R3 1-6 R4 2-8 R5 6-8 R6 1-9 R7 1-6 R8 14-15 R9 1-4 BB R10 2-3 Good luck Ziggy All the best team Cheers PJ Leroy

No Tonka! Hesi was starting a new thread from my comments on another thread. Maybe Hesi or Pete could paste it on this thread for general debate and ideas while there is no racing . Cheers

Just thinking out loud Freda!With all that is going on,I see this break in racing as quite possibly the only chance they have to try and get things right for the security of employment and the longitivity of the sport.Dear I say it,but this situation we are in could be used as the excuse behind some radical decisions for the future. There are some experienced and intelligent people on this site who I am sure can put forward some suggestions. Hesi,maybe a new thread to get discussions going?

Did I read somewhere that NZ has only 152 ICU beds(that's worrying)?Also presume you have makeshift emergency ICU on standby. I know a few were scoffing at Boris and the way he was going about things,but imo he has got it right and taken the right long hard road which simply takes the huge pressure off the essential services by pumping the breaks and going down through the gears! Cindy has pretty much followed suit, we here are a few weeks ahead of NZ and we are getting into the groove of this system for the good of the country.It is about protecting the vulnerable! On the racing front, here's hoping this kick starts a new phase in NZ racing with a two tier system.Thoughts of maybe 3 race days per week,bigger/better fields ,better prize money and a better product all round.The smaller clubs who are bound to get the cut now,go it alone and run as community clubs that are on- course only(maybe bookies 😜)and scheduled on the calendar to run as a circuit of 3 or 4 clubs as per the west coast,when they know attendance will be at its highest .Also I would keep the jump racing (north island) 2 courses only,say Te Aroha and a venue in the central districts,racing all year round. Be safe

I like the idea of the fresh legs title!Winners galore in the first week back racing!

Does this come under a new column in the BP?

When racing around the world does begin after a 3+ month layoff, do we all wipe the betting slate clean and all start with new BPs?Surely! For example, 3yr olds become 4yr olds

No post-race winners please T!

What say thee now? Time to expand and get the RP online card school going!Could be a membership grabber

14 day lockins!😁 Bootlegging,has that ever stopped ?

Go hard go early!? Sounds more like a changing room talk before the Hurricanes run out!Sorry Hesi ,couldn't resist😁 With the pubs now closing here,I'm really worried for the people of Glasgow.Hardip my corner shop (dairy/off licence)man is all smiles in these restricted times. Be safe people

Great effort all round team!Lucky I avoided the left hook this week! Steady as she goes Captain. Leroy

R1 1-2 BB R2 1-5 R3 2-3 R4 3-10 R5 1-4 R6 2-5 R7 2-7 R8 2-3 R9 14-16 R10 1-2 BB Good luck Craig, a few of your picks on my 1st list so changing tact slightly! Scratchings please Stevie,all the best team! Many thanks PJ

Hypothetically thinking! If NZ had already in place two racing complexes (north and south)with training,racing and accommodation in lock down, could they have finally cornered the sports market?

Thanks for that Hesi. Understand all above,but with positive cases in NZ already, what is the plan for containment and has every single person who has been in contact with the positives in the last 5/7 days been tested? Sorry Mardy, my last word on this!

She has to swing one way or the other! Which is it to be? Boris says....14 day stay at home for the complete household if any member of the family has a high temperature or new dry heavy cough! What says Jacinda? I haven't read The Herald online for a while.

So right Maximus regarding not being land locked and the health system. The biggest worry must be NZ's largest export the tourism industry. This potentially is the greatest thing to put any country under huge financial and employment pressure for months to come,which would lead to a recession. So does Jacinda play the Italy or Boris card?

I have woken blurry eyed this morning. Checked PJ's results, Checked my picks scribbled on the back of Racing Post to see R3 3 -9 circled,(it was all about the jock) wtf!🙄Normally I'd give myself an uppercut! But no complaints when beaten by a superb BB.Great work Georgy.HOF, happy to sit 3 lengths off the leaders on settling. Great competition as per usual PJ Leroy😁

R1 1- 4 BB R2 1-6 R3 3-5 R4 2-5 R5 2-4 R6 5-6 R7 1-8 R8 3-5 BB R9 1-3 R10 8-10 Good luck Georgy and cheers PJ. Stevie, scratchings please as it's been a big day ! Night night. All the best to my new teammates. I have always want to be on Fame! Can I be Leroy?

It would be interesting to hear Willie Wilcox thoughts and ideas for the future and how he sees the ARC and industry as a whole in its present form. Any chance of a Q and A invite with him Hesi?
