DIdnt they put a tonne of $ in to the Avondale track a year or two back?
At least they will get good $$ for that place as land will hold some good value

Yeah they did but I think the Club paid for that
@Hooroo I would launch into some solid thoughts around the closures but my personal laptop has finally broken after too much porn and is in for repairs.
To sum up: I hate to say it but Covid-19 is finally forcing something that has been put in the too hard basket for the last 40-50 years. It's a bloodbath right now with all the locals losing their minds but it's the only way out.

@Smudge quick question. Is being a racing analyst the best job in the world? From where i am sitting, you watch a heap of racing, few barrier trials, then pick out some shit that helps you make a point you just made up
Then pick the favourite with the bookies.
Then cop absolutely no blow back when said favourite shits the bed.
Dress well, say shit confidently, move smoothly to the next race when you are inevitably wrong.

A couple of future champions enjoying a grass popsicle in the frost. Definitely prefer the view working from home than the office.

Paddock names of Benny and Jet. (Both Fillies)
Benny is Galaxy Miss' first foal and is a real hoot. Really happy with both of them.

@Hooroo what's the plan for Polly?
Off to trials in 10 days and then straight to races. Likely Melbourne first and then back in Sydney as she will have two less points in Melbourne.
I will definitely keep you guys in the loop.

It's this Friday at 0835. Apparently we can watch on racingnsw.com.au (hopefully live stream)
Her latest report was the best report so far in terms of settling in. He is happy with her gallops now

@Hooroo Kiki Dee - a pretty relevant punting tip......."Don't go breaking my heart"!
Definite Elton fan in the naming of those guys!

It was purely because we called the Galaxy Miss foal Benny, and then we saw Rocket man and the next day "Jet" turned up and of course there had to be in a similar vein as the other two when "Kiki Dee" turned up.
When Benny first arrived we thought she looked really nice but then Jet turns up and makes her look just OK.
I will try and get a photo but Kiki Dee's white patch on her forehead looks similar to the Apple logo (Turned clockwise 90 degrees)
and I need to elaborate that these are only paddock names and won't race under that name.

By the way, our syndicate has a new trotter. She had her first start last Friday but made a couple of mistakes (broke twice). That said, she did pass some horses in the straight so she looks to have some speed.
She's lining up again at Ascot Park on Saturday - R3 #11 Miss Crazed. Toss some each way money on her - if she trots throughout, she can figure in the finish.

Good luck mate! Will bet
@JK we got rid of our share when he did a tendon. Yeah, he isn't great fresh.
