absolutely fantastic. I must of been just a couple of years behind you starting off at !5 as well. The crowds and atmosphere were outstanding, and must of seen Delightful Lady wins at least 20 races there . The Southerners won all the great Northern Derbies through that period too. about 10 in a row over the decade. And they had great Trotters like Tussle, Sir Castleton, Nigel Craig , Scotch Tar, No Response who would all come and conquer at Auckland too. Tonight lets see if Bob Butt can match those efforts of the previous Southerners lol 😂. Eurostyle $3.40 x Princess Meritaten $3.40 x Gold Bullion $2.40 x Little Spike $2.80. All 4 are way shorter than I thought they might be. Anyway a 77-1 odds quaddie for Bob 😅 , or any treble Combo (there are 4) . surely he can drive 3 winners if he's any good at all ? 🤣😂. -
late scratched due to track conditions which turned really bad at NP. We have to wait another day

More regular updates in the next few weeks - can you guess why? I find myself spending a couple of months with Mrs Stodge’s family in Napier. Incredible timing with the closure of Hastings Racecourse - in the name of God, why? I can stream Trackside on Loveracing so I can “enjoy” this afternoon and evening’s top notch synthetic card.

Some thoughts for today’s offering at Riccarton which reminds me of an afternoon of bandit racing at Lingfield. 2.57: DEVIL IN DISGUISE 3.32: FRANCI CACCINI 3.57: PERSONA 5.11: KNOWLEDGE IN POWER 7.04: RULE OF LAW Put $20 on each of those (probably better if you don’t).

I started going to Alex Park when I was 15 . I was in and out of the game . I also drove at Alex Park for a year or so as a Junior Driver , it was something I will never forget how the Park was packed , the crowd lining up against the fence in the home straight , full fields it was an amazing feeling just loved it . When trackside started that all changed just the same as Ellerslie . The crowds were no longer because people stayed home and watched it on TV . I stopped going many years ago because there was no atmosphere like there was before , everything has changed Alex Park has lost all of its character with apartments everywhere . I really don't care to be honest if they stopped racing there but it would be sad to see it fold due to financial reasons .

Get over it? I couldn't care less if they moved it. 😅 What ever happens will hopefully be "the right decision " Touchy subject? Are you OK? For the record, the bigger nights actually get great crowds and even the "themed nights" also. The crowds have actually dramatically improved since marketing it in a different way imo. You just don't see them outside. Regardless of attendance, something needs to be done as you have mentioned as it's bleeding money
