Wilson House is a very articulate well spoken young man and certainly deserves every success whether its driving or training in the future. -
Pretty sure she is here after the miracle mile , but I'll find out for sure.

The quote - None are so blind as those who cannot see. Its a metaphor for ignorant people whe refuse to understand -
I see another race has been co-opted from the CD , the listed 2yo race at New Plymouth has been discarded , but amazingly on the very same day at Ellerslie up turns a 2yo listed race . When did this happen ?, was there any press release about this that I missed ?, very sneaky , or blatant . -
Richard Callander 04:28pm • 20 January 2025 2 Comments He is but she wasn't! A deal has been agreed to in principal. What am I talking about? I find it amusing that many Aussie racing fans are happy to accept the new sprinting sensation Ka Ying Rising is the world's best sprinter but wouldn't acknowledge Winx as the world's best horse. As long as Ka Ying Rising stays at the top of his game what a race the $20m The Everest on 18th October at Randwick promises to be. A deal has basically been agreed to with signatures the only detail missing for the Hong Kong star to take his spot in the world's richest turf race and the connections are set to receive a bigger chunk (all) of the prizemoney than any runner in the eight running's of The Everest. And yes, the royal carpet will be pressed, ironed and laid out. Get your tickets early or you'll need to be in a helicopter to see The Everest this year. -
Yes, Weaver rings a bell. And Bloke, you are right. The run through the 5 Cups was of great interest to all racing followers at the time. Add in the Concorde, Railway and Telegraph for the sprinters, and the entire Spring and Summer was worth remembering. And now that's all we can do. Every one is a mere shadow of its former self, scattered all over the place with some moving dates on a regular basis. This includes the Auckland Harness Cup (we had two in 2024, one in May, the other New Year's Eve). And that's without even mentioning the quality of the fields. -

Well that's just not true at all. Palliser will be here again with a duplicate post next week! -
I would live a happy 2025 if I was to only get ONE of mine correct.... Philadelphia Eagles to win the Super Bowl 🏆

Agreed, Chris Wheeler started it (If that’s how you spell his name) and from there the breeders, NZBS and the idiots who followed have cocked it all up.

When they moved the Auckland Cup to a Wednesday in March that was supposed to suit the Corporates. That was a disaster which was easy to predict. They also stuffed up the racing calendar because races like the Waikato Cup, Counties Cup and Avondale Cup were great led ups to The Auckland Cup then onto The Wellington Cup. I am not sure if the so-called Corporates would be there on Saturday. To me it just looks like a giant piss up. -

Do you think Ellerslie would have stayed as it was without Karaka? I get the impression they were hellbent on moving all of the big races to suit the corporates anyway, thus destroying what they had, and interfering with the Trentham dates too?

So, how is Brittany going over there folks? -
The Desert Gold on Saturday was all home bred bar one, and isn’t the winner a beauty? I am over this sales crap of Karaka and how they have destroyed the pattern of NZ racing, especially the the two Summer carnivals, Ellerslie at New Year and Trentham mid to late January. Liz
