[Hesi]

Good question Peter, if we quietly cross your palm with silver, can we have a judicial recount

[Sir Gallivant]

Good Luck to Kool Kats and Betty's Beauts ..... May the winged Pegasus fly over your selections leaving these words in there ears "QUOTE"

From a stolen notepad on Betty's computer.

After finding the Beauts in eight place after round 2 a compulsory Rum meeting was ordered.

Here the whanau discussed iwi business until the effects of a number of rums started to take take hold.

Then the main point on the agenda was debated until the rum had disappeared.....as we had only entered the comp to make up the numbers, or there would have been a bye

we had a majority vote to tweak the selection formula and have a go....since then the rum supplies have been replenished and the team is very happy to find a place 

in the GRAND FINAL, all the credit going to Coruba.

We guarantee we will be competive in the final, providing the KK ruffie brigade have some near misses.

GOOD LUCK KOOL KATS

They slid off so easily, would be a shame to pull them back up

There are no 'selection formula tweaking' meetings for the KKs ...however they have all been instructed to get a good night's sleep, and to stay off the plonk for at least 24 minutes before selecting their winners.

Mrs W has, for the second time in a year, been gently cajoled into taking the little Weasels on an overnight outing (not to Farmer Brown's Chicken Farm..(they're off to see their cousins the Ferrets for fun and games in Stoatesville, West Auckland) . Leaving Mustelid Maximus blissfully alone, with the Moet quietly chilling, just in case things go very very well ....

It's raining out this way, Coatesville

Cheers for the heads-up, Hesi, they're taking their wet weather gear to Stoatesville, keep an eye out for em please and for Gawd's sake leave the shotgun in the broom cupboard!

The dear boy(son) bought himself a new gun the other day.  He and a few others took the North Harbour rugby team shooting a couple of weeks ago up here at South Head

4 deer including 1 good sized stag

Morning all, from Bedrock ...weather fine, tracks dodgy .. captain Mustelid has penned an inspirational speech for the Grand Final ... here are the highlights ...
"And so, my Koolest of Kats, ask not what your fellow felines can do for  you, but what you can do for your fellow felines .."

"once more, unto the breach, dear Kats, once more."

 

A ferret, a ferret ? My Kingdom for a Kool Kat

Now is the Winter (Comp) of our discontent.....

[PWJ]

The final comp race today sees (at present on fixed odds) a $2.35 fave and 6 of the remaining 9 priced between $6 and $9. Could be a great finish... 

[PWJ]

also currently a 24km/h West-Northwest head wind blowing straight down the final stretch at Rosehill. Gonna be tough horses that win there today

[PWJ]

Dawn Passage in the Rosebud is a very interesting runner today. Only beaten once in 7 trial or race outings and that was to Castelvecchio and Accession in the $1m Inglis scamper at "The Farm", I thought his two trial wins this time in were unimpressive and now they have (not surprisingly for me) added blinkers. Is he a lay today ?

[PWJ]
