I always get a little antsy when one keeps flying at the finish. Once is fine and I’ll excuse anything which has no luck in running (unless it becomes a habit) but if a horse runs in late over 1400m, they get put up to 1600m and the same thing happens, I start wondering why. If I were running NZTR and it’s only a matter of time, I’d can a lot of the 1400m and 1600m races in favour of more races at 2400m and further but I know that’s the last thing TAB and Entain would want as they want to maximize betting opportunities and you only do that with more and shorter races.  

If they seek a name change to Willydidit after today, the people who bought cheap Tarzinos this week will be feeling even better.

Working for me this morning 👏

Like I said, all about revenge and retribution. The little man hates being called out. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/01/31/politics/fbi-agents-who-investigated-january-6-fired/index.html 🤡

Yes, working again - I did contact them so maybe it was an easy fix

In what way ?   HRNZ website seems fine at my end.

Here's one for you Hokey , I'll copy and paste part 1 AND 2 the rest you can read on KIWI Blog , there's plenty to read February 1, 2025 8:56am by Kiwi in America , The Trump 2.0 investigations . ABBREVIATED These are but six of the investigations that will be undertaken. There will be more. 1 – Weaponisation of the Federal Government  This topic has already been the subject of extensive hearings through 2023 and 2024 before the Special Select Committee of the House Judicial Committee chaired by Rep Jim Jordan and quite a lot of material was aired such as the way the Biden Admin used various federal agencies including the FBI to censor conservative speech on social media. Whilst Elon Musk released the Twitter files, this committee brought the key investigators that Musk used to testify to the Biden Admin’s perfidy in this respect. In the 119th Congress (2025 and 2026), these efforts will be expanded to include questions such as: How much coordination was there between the Biden White House and Department of Justice prosecutors and Special Counsel Jack Smith concerning the various indictments Smith filed against Trump? Ditto with the New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office and charges laid in the so-called “hush money” case? Ditto the New York Attorney General Latetia James and civil ‘fraud’ case her office brought against the Trump organisation? Ditto with the Fulton County DA Fani Willis in the Georgia ‘election interference’ case? Who made the decision for the FBI to deliberately target pro-life activists and to aggressively file charges against them? Who made the decision to allocate FBI resources to the tracking and investigation of conservative parents attending School Board meetings across the nation raising issues of pornography in school libraries, DEI, critical race theory and trans gender use of bathrooms? Who initiated the inordinate focus of so-called “domestic terrorists” as a cloak to harass innocent conservative groups? Who at the DOJ level made the decision to not prosecute the hugely damaging BLM rioters or the Antifa activists who wrought havoc, mayhem and destruction in Portland, OR and Seattle, WA but then prosecute J6 defendants to the full extent of the law? Why did the DC Courts suppress and ignore any and all exculpatory evidence of the J6 defendants, evidence that may have led to no conviction or lighter sentences. 2 – Biden and other family corruption Significant work was already undertaken by the House Oversight Committee under Rep James Comer and a very thorough and damning report is available. This committee will continue its work and widen its scope to ask: Precisely how many companies in Ukraine made payments to Biden family members and how much and what was given in return? Precisely how many Chinese companies made similar payments and for what in return? What are the connections between favours Joe Biden granted to Ukrainian and Chinese companies and individuals and the payments made to his family members? What are the lists of similar payments made by Ukrainian and Chinese companies to members of the Pelosi family, Romney family and other influential political families in the US? What other companies in other countries have made payments to the Biden and other families for questionable services?  

I believe he Wllindeeddoit.  The form around Tuxedo may have been franked last week in the KM 3yo.   Anyone know how long Masa is out for?  Hope hes back in time for the Derby should they continue on that path.   For anyone loading up - its the BGP Blessed Bet this week.  Currently $1.80 on fixed odds but $2.70 if you go through the Blessed Bet option.  

Apart from Chaource obviously, who must get some luck soon, a couple of others to follow. Avoriaz - very good run over 2100m fresh, with a bit more luck would have gone very close. Deadly Desire - came from a mile back, improving type. Skiddly doo - ran on well at Ruakaka and did the same at Te Rapa. Wins one soon. Bertie Wooster - gave Sam a terrible ride overracing yet was still not far away at the finish. Wetter might suit.

No, still not working
