Polly and Ricky both got good draws.
Gutted about race timings though as I am having to help as a "stablehand" as our help pulled the pin yesterday!
@Smudge do you know any competent Horse people (Strapper/stablehand types) that want to make a couple of hundred for an afternoons work at Trentham???
In Wellington? Struggling. I could put a call out on Twitter?
Will they need a stablehand's license or whatever they get in NZ?
YEs they will need that. If you put the feeler out, can you leave Kylie's name out. We can let them know if you find someone keen.
Thanks for your help

No. What's the upshot?

Initial story
'You're going to die, you maggot': Abattoir investigated after 'sickening' racehorse cruelty caught on camera
A Queensland abattoir responsible for the mass slaughter of racehorses will be investigated for alleged animal mistreatment after revelations aired on the ABC's 7.30 program last night.
now there will be a full investigation in to the lives of retired racehorses etc
I expect the protests at the rest of the Spring Carnival to be pretty vocal

So there should be, but the problem is well known from a psychological perspective: The smaller brained humans only see these animals on their way to being killed, so that frames their perception of them and as a coping mechanism they become devoid of empathy. This makes it easier for them to do their job, but also provides the framework for them to abuse them.
Dumb people fall into this trap very easily.

It was on the TV news here a couple of days ago.

The Bostonian running in the Manikato tonight, haven't heard anything which isnt usually a good sign, but I will still be on it and running an all up into Polly tomorrow for some fun.

The Geelong Cup wasn't good for me, so lets drop some money on the Manikato. You would expect Bivouac to shit it in and live up to its price surely?
A mate of mine owns #6 in R1 at the Valley tonight and reckons it is a huge shout. Odds aren't big, but not bad.

agree with Bivouac, even heard McEvoy thinking it should kill it.. like i said, normally I hear something by now, so not hearing anything, suggests not as confident
