Then its just blatant double standards, its not right some are protected species...everyone should be treated the same no exceptions when it comes to the type of cruelty shown by both.
I considered going to HQ yday but I had a quite welcoming experience at Te Aroha last week - couple of food trucks, coffee on demand, good sandwiches even - that I did not want to spoil it by turning up and asking for a flat white at ellerslie, only to be told at about 1.30 that the coffee was off for the day.
Might go on the 19th when I believe they have something like the Easter Handicap scheduled....at Easter.

Yes, BEAUPORT was prominent until crossing the Melling Road the second time after which he got a bit cream crackered and finished twelfth beaten a country mile.
As for THREEUNDERTHRUFIVE, he jumped well enough but was kept wide by Harry Skelton - not quite sure why. He was still in with a shout at the 19th but quickly weakened and called it a day two out.
IROKO ran well in fourth and I'm sure they'll be back but SENIOR CHIEF ran with a lot of promise and he should be on people's short lists for 2026 on this evidence. The ground was too quick fro STUMPTOWN and HEWICK while THREE CARD BRAG was well backed but didn't get home.
I think GRANGECLARE WEST would have won if he'd not hit the last.
Unexceptional time - 9 minutes 6.14 seconds on the allegedly Good ground.
