Was that the century previous to the last one? 😂 You couldn't say a phrase like that today unless it was in a Netflix show or on the Stuff website.

Yes Happy, it was in the day of Ben Hur, chariot racing. I guess, the death seat is not appropriate in this day and age as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugger me. I'm pretty sure I only heard one "chair" mentioned, for the whole meeting. Only two things could have caused this. 1. Happy's comments. Or, 2. Most of the chairs had to be left in the storage shed, due to the track not being open to the public. Anyway, whatever the reason, I think the race calls tonight were very good. Well done Mr Cross. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigos1 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 The racing I thought was pretty good tonight. Think I'll follow Di Caprio & Vacation Hill right through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we will have some more battles with Sundees Son going on last nights effort. He stepped like a toff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Sunrise Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Here is a new one. Not before time in my book. JIMMY CARTER - driver B Williamson admitted a charge under Rule 857(7)(a) when he allowed his gelding to approach the barrier quicker than the other runners which caused a delay to the start. After viewing the films and hearing evidence the Adjudicative Committee imposed a fine of $200. Broke at the start losing all chance. A final warning was placed on the gelding's barrier record.
