And worse withdraw it without your knowing and rip people off. Bank and Financial institutions are one of the worst for White Collar crime scamming customers. How many vulnerable people have been ripped off at Pub TABS love the years by staff who plie customers with drinks? A bet there's a few who have been exploited by the dishonest pub staff.  

My only bet was $20win $80place Hakkinen at $61 and $12.  I had seen him win at Matamata and thought he was an improving Savabeel horse.  He only got fourth, but I thought Rory Hutchings ride was inch perfect.  It is rare for me to praise a ride on a loser, but Rory Hutchings is a much better rider than I used to think he was. On that basis I cannot see Hakkinen being any sort of show in The Derby. I got a few bob off Oceana Dream on 1st February and was pleased, but I thought he was lucky to win.  So I was surprised by his effort yesterday.  The Avondale Guineas has been a great guide to The Derby, but I so liked Tuxedo at Te Rapa.  Years ago I was at Flemington to see Rebel Raider beat the odds on favourite in the V.R.C. Derby.  His grandson, Thedoctoroflove will be a chance.  I do not like his name.  Thedoctoroflove sounds like an abortionist.

Finally got to watch the Saudi Cup. I’m not sure I agree with race caller Richard Hoiles - JMac’s problem was he didn’t know how ROMANTIC WARRIOR would react to the kickback so had to go wide to avoid it. That cost him ground and energy and ultimately the race. It always takes at least two to make a great horse race and FOREVER YOUNG more than played his part and indeed he switched out behind ROMANTIC WARRIOR to make his run and nailed the Hong Kong champion on the jamstick. Can he follow up in the Dubai World Cup next month? Let’s not forget FOREVER YOUNG is only a 4-y-o and has already won nearly £11.5 million in win and place money - his only two defeats have been in the Kentucky Derby and the Breeders Cup Classic and the Riyadh/Meydan Dirt is more like the Japanese Dirt than the American. As for ROMANTIC WARRIOR. I’d love him to come to Ascot but I suspect that will never happen. It was the night Japan confirmed its pre-eminence in world racing. SHIN EMPEROR beat CALIF to win the 2000m Group 2 - I hope someone noticed I read that one pretty well. The Breeders Cup Sprint winner STRAIGHT NO CHASER was an emphatic winner of the Dirt sprint - the one division where the Japanese have yet to seriously challenge the Americans. ASCOLI PICENO made amends for his poor run in the Golden Slipper by clearly appreciating the drop back in trip in the 1200m turf sprint. The surprise of the night was the success of BYZANTINE DREAM under a terrific ride from British champion jockey Oisin Murphy. They don’t have as many staying events in Japan but BYZANTINE DREAM is proven at 3000m and could be a long term thought for the Melbourne Cup - you heard it first here. CONTINUOUS ran better in third and it could be a lot of tough races on soft European turf did him no favours. I’d like to see him over 3200m in Europe this summer. Finally, anyone who followed my advice and backed CHOISYA in Friday’s Balanchine at Meydan got a nice payout at 7/2 but she had to show plenty of resolution to see off CINDERELLA’S DREAM. Next Saturday sees the big Trial meeting at Meydan featuring the Group 1 Al Maktoum Challenge and three Group 2 races and once I’m back in Blighty I’ll pick up on that as well as looking at the Cheltenham races which start on Tuesday March 11th.  

It's about 50/50 sports betting to combined racing

No it's no rocket science , if they had a tongue in cheek emoji I would have put next to my comment .

I remember backing him earlier on in his carrier when Gary Grylls rode him . Guy Lowry did say back then this horse is good  

Darn another conspiracy proven correct again ! Now if only theh hadn't HIDDEN. Sorry. Embargoed all the incriminating evidence from Pike river and the Christchurch shootings, then we ciild put mire criminals in prison! The long gunman was wearing a head set - coms - was talking to someone else! Note how they say "lone gunman" & he may have been , but he was not alone on his mission .       Ryan CarnationKiwis Linking Strong Minds Together Ryan Carnation  · esotprodSn8tmut7m1h5im1l9um00u8l1h07h3223ti453ggghfc8t615uh9  ·         Stuart Murray ensopoSrtd49t9381ibMt gu 6t1 u0y5r1ul9amh914f839Fmr5h 9:e2hAl7a  · It’s no surprise to me Trump has released this now. He sees the same threat and almost certainly is using this as a preemptive measure against powerful forces that are working against him. Here’s a summary of what was released about JFK's death in recently declassified documents. "The truth is even darker than we thought. On January 30, 2025, new intelligence leaks have blown the lid on what we thought we knew about the JFK assassination. The released documents don't just reveal more about the cover-up — they confirm that we were dealing with a full-scale military intelligence coup, involving forces far beyond what ordinary historians are willing to acknowledge. The surfaced files reveal a web of fraud so intricate and so heavily vetted that it becomes painfully clear: JFK's murder was a pre-planned high-level operation carried out by intelligence, globalist banks, and secret elite organizations. to eliminate a President who no longer followed their rules. The recently released files from the National Archives and CIA Black Vaults include shocking, never-before-seen documents, and let's be clear, these are the records THEY DIDN'T WANT YOU TO SEE. These papers were never intended to be released to the public. They describe secret murders, destruction of important evidence, and direct orders from the highest levels of the US government to delete all evidence of who really pulled the strings that day in Dallas. THE ELITE INCREASE PLAN - WHY JFK MUST DIE Recently surfaced documents confirm what many of us have suspected for years: JFK was a threat to the globalist Deep State. He took the country in a direction that the shadow government could not afford. His murder was not just about revenge – it was a calculated execution designed to stop his policies, prevent a shift in power, and send a message to future leaders who might dare to challenge the system. The leaked files in 2025 reveal that JFK actively worked to dissolve the Federal Reserve and return the United States to a gold-backed currency. These papers explicitly mention Executive Order 11110, which JFK signed, which directly challenges the central banking cabal that controls the global financial system. Within six months of signing this warrant, he was dead, and Lyndon B. Johnson immediately changed his policy and ensured that the Federal Reserve remained full control. NEW DISCOVERED: FED's "JFK Hit Memo" One of the most damning documents unearthed in the latest declassification dump is a previously uninformed memo from the Federal Reserve from 1963 — a report labeled "Directive Alpha" — which outlines the "economic destabilization risks" as JFK's pursuit of a sovereign currency free of central bank control. . The document was sent to key agents within Wall Street and the CIA, warning that “failure to limit the situation” could lead to an “irreversible change of U.S. monetary control.” "Weeks later, JFK was dead. This memo was kept in a classified section of the National Archives, completely forbidden even for researchers working under the JFK Records Act. Now we know why. CIA SECRET DEATH SQUAD - OPERATION EXECUTE Forget Oswald. Forget the myth of the Lone Gunners. Latest leaks directly reveal CIA involvement in a covert murder program, codenamed “Operation Execute,” which was tasked with eliminating world leaders who threatened American intelligence interests. Recently discovered names linked to JFK's murder According to the leaked files dated January 2025, this program had operators stationed at several locations around Dealey Plaza that day, working under direct orders from high-ranking Langley officials. Among them: William King Harvey — a CIA black op specialist, is described in the recently released PM as “an asset to ensure continuity of power in extreme scenarios. "This man was conducting murder patrols in Europe and was brought back to the United States months before JFK's assassination. E. Howard Hunt - The notorious CIA agent linked to Watergate was present in Dallas, according to leaked radio communication logs recovered in 2025. His personal notes, which are found in the classified files, affirm his belief that "the mission was clean and well completed. ” David Atlee Phillips - Chief of CIA operations in the western hemisphere, who had personal ties to Lee Harvey Oswald during his mysterious trip to Mexico City just weeks before the murder. George H.W. Bush - Yes, the former president. A recently obtained FBI memo places him in Dallas on the morning of November 22, 1963, despite his decades of denial. Explosive new evidence: CIA's fake Oswald conspiracy Another document, buried for decades, confirms that several Oswald's bodies were used to create a false trail, ensuring the real perpetrators could frame him and silence him before he had a chance to speak. The leaked "Oswald Counterfeit Directive" outlines how a CIA-run identity unit deployed agents in Mexico, New Orleans and Dallas, to ensure Oswald's movements would match the official narrative — whether he was actually there or not. JFK KNEW HE WAS GOING TO GET KILLED JFK was not blind to the forces that worked against him. The leaked files contain several first-hand accounts from White House aides and secret recordings made in the Oval Office, where Kennedy directly confronts his closest advisers about murder threats. Newly released JFK audio recording - His last words about Deep State One of the most frightening discoveries in this latest set of documents is a never-before-heard audio tape recorded just a few days before JFK's trip to Dallas. In the band, JFK says: "They'll come and get me soon. The war machine is too strong. But if I fall, let history know I tried to warn them. ” This explosive evidence was buried for decades to sustain the cover-up. But now it has surfaced - proof that JFK KNEW his days were numbered. WHY IS THIS TRENDING NOW This is not ancient history. The same forces that executed JFK are still in control today - the intelligence, the secret banking elites, and the corporate power structures that benefit from endless wars, economic slavery and absolute control. JFK’s murder was the day America lost its virginity. But January 30, 2025 is the day when the blackout finally dies. They kept us in the dark for decades. But now the darkness lightens. The truth is here. And it will never be buried again."

Good win that, locals got plenty - George Rooke double of $61 made up for the others. Ready to sack Chaource though….  

You are absolutely 100% correct. 

Bummer to see Who Rox The House with another unlucky run.  Cost me a 4 figure multi return but cant complain - $18 earlier for Lord of The Sea

I agree but the problem is there are a few guaranteed spots in the Chariots so only a few spare spots available. The Janitor seems to be overlooked often though, I'm not sure why. He has excellent form, apart from a few poor runs at Melton, which is a terrible track in my opinion. He's a chance if he starts. 

David wears High Vis on Community Patrol...he doesn't use a drone, or cleaver,  to the best of our knowledge - I'll stand on his feet if he dare ...

Who trains the current Stipes? From whose book? How many have we coming through the Ranks to continue on with our Racing Sector? How do we get these jobs?   What is the Executive of Racing doing to ensure younger ones are receiving appropriate education at schools/ universities etc in our ever declining standards of the education system?

We have it on good authority that Ellerslie usually irrigate the track between 6am to 8 am and sometimes 8.15am in the mornings.   Sorry we can't confirm what time they did it this week as our watch-person was unavailable.   If you want that information confirmed, ask ATR to disclose it as it should be so Trainers can decide for themselves how much water has been sprayed around. Naturally because of the method/ device they use wind can also be a factor with where the water lands - It's a bit like people watering there gardens who aim it over the footpath...

Pure mate, we are talkin Alex Park 🤣 corse the commentator thinks he's at the circus....   Cheers Iraklis

As usual, two tries to the southerners through the direct result of the (legendary) aimless mid field kicking of Barrett.     Did a hell of a lot around the field only to undo all this by the gifted 14 points.   You really would have thought the decades he's been playing at the top level he would have learned by now.      

Not long back was a grass track northern meeting every week from around Christmas through to February.     No problem.

The second dam is also the second dam of the horse that won that BC Classic. And she's a half sister to Zenno Rob Roy, who shuttled to NZ in 2006 before being prevented from returning by the EI outbreak in NSW in 2017 that was blamed on Japanese horses in quarantine there (not Zenno Rob Roy nor Jungle Pocket, who both shuttled to NZ in 2006; they were to be brought in via Melbourne rather than Sydney). That's another reason I love to see the success Rich Hill are having; they were early to recognise the quality of the Japanese thoroughbred and its suitability for our conditions, and took a gamble on it. There were some returns with Jungle Pocket (he sired an Oaks winner and a couple of other stakeswinners from four crops) and Zenno Rob Roy (Zennista was 2nd in an Oaks and won half a dozen stakes races to Gr. 3 level from his only crop), and they're having joy now with Satono Aladdin.

Cool HD. we have share in another HY filly from the same yard  trials soon. Keep an eye out
