I just feel sorry for the connections with bad luck and shocking draws . Merlin got another shocker as well this week . Makes all the difference owners getting the cash or not 

You seem have a love affair with Mo'unga.

Congrats to the winning connections -they could have been forgiven many many times for thinking this mare (rising 8yo) would never win another race. Got there today narrowly for win 4 at start 82 and a gap of nearly 50 starts since the last win in May 2022.

Thanks Pete. Well answered. Appreciate that. 

Both fascinating reads,. Thanks Diomed and insider.

I see Robbie C is coming to Auckland tomorrow night to drive Mo'unga . Hopefully we will see the real Mo'unga in the winners circle 

No rain at all in forecast. I'm picking a Soft 5 race morning with an upgrade early in the card.

You must have a lot of memories John . No matter how old we get that excitement is the same when your horse wins or comes close  😀

That would depend on the weather between now and Saturday would it not???😃

TAP & GO would be using a Debit Card wouldn't it? Not a Credit Card?

Yes, Grins signed up for three years. Having LEAP TO FAME and DON HUGO across this year meant we had two of Australia's undisputed top 3.  Arguably their top trotter too in THE LOCOMOTIVE, but when he doesn't lead he doesn't win. ARCEE PHOENIX still did it for the convict nation however. 

It’s a soft 7 now. Do you think it will get to a 6 for Saturday? 

Thanks for that Iraklis. Was Grins sponsorship up? I never saw the race mentioned anywhere. I will seek out a replay.

Vaccine High Priest Peter Marks Forced Out by Trump’s Inner Circle The war isn’t overseas. It’s inside our own health system. And RFK Jr. just fired the first nuclear shot. 19,000 employees at HHS — GONE. These weren’t harmless paper-pushers. These were Fauci’s operatives. The same traitors who ran cover for Gates, silenced whistleblowers, funneled NIH cash into bioweapon research, and pushed experimental gene therapies on the world. Gone. Peter Marks is OUT. The man who blessed the mRNA shots, the one who worked hand-in-glove with Kadlec and the CIA to turn vaccines into psychological weapons — resigned under threat. Sources confirm: Trump’s shadow team and RFK gave the order. Resign or face trials. He ran. But his resignation letter says it all. He warned America that questioning vaccines is a “threat to national security.” Translation: the Deep State is terrified. And now it gets bigger. March 26, 2025. The vaccine-autism investigation is officially ON. A full-scale federal probe, led by David Geier — the man who exposed the thimerosal cover-up — is opening the vault. If what VAERS and whistleblowers have said is confirmed, you’re looking at tribunals, billions in lawsuits, and the fall of Big Pharma. Fauci? He’s vanished. But insiders confirm he’s scrambling behind the scenes, begging to have his name erased from RFK’s investigation files. He’s cornered. He’s guilty. And he knows it’s over. As for Susan Monarez — Kennedy didn’t stumble. That was a tactical exposure. He dragged this DARPA-linked AI queen out of the shadows, forced her into the spotlight, and now the Patriot network has her in full view. She was the cabal’s Trojan Horse. And now we see her. The real plan was never public health. It was control through illness. Sterilization, dependency, surveillance, obedience. Every shot, every pill, every lie — part of a larger system to enslave humanity. But RFK Jr. is dismantling it piece by piece. This isn’t reform. This is war. The Deep State is collapsing. Their generals are fleeing. And patriots are rising. The storm isn’t coming. It’s already here. I risked everything so you could know the truth. Don’t turn away now!

Would hardly call doubling down on China losing ones nerve The 90 day pause allows the 75 countries already looking for a deal to sit at the table and make ' the ' deal while putting the rest on notice to shake their tails Also allows USA to focus more on China tariffs so works more for them than others   Choo Choo

TRUMP LOSES HIS NERVE.

My money on Majestic 

We're Doomed mate, the Race by Grins is now called the Race by Betcha which has just been run an won by LeapToFame.....🤨 maaate both races, the TAB Slot included won by the ozzies as well....   Cheers Iraklis

This is CNN 30 minutes ago Hokey your favourite news station . US stocks skyrocketed higher after President Donald Trump announced that he authorized a 90-day pause on the “reciprocal” tariffs that had gone into effect Wednesday, with the exception of China. Wall Street had been on edge, looking for any sign that Trump might shift his approach to his punitive tariffs. So when Trump posted on social media that he authorized a pause on most reciprocal tariffs, investors were ready to dive in. US stocks immediately surged, posting a historic rally. The Dow skyrocketed 2,963 points, or 7.87%. The S&P 500 shot up 9.52%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq soared 12.16%. In a massive turnaround, the S&P 500 posted its best day since October 2008. It was also the third-best day for the benchmark index since its modern-day version was formed in 1957. The Nasdaq posted its best day since January 2001 and its second-best day in its history. The Dow posted its best day in five years
