locked in a pocket most of the way you could see the frustration in Fortune but great for him to fight for a place.

Re: The Vaal Tuesday 12/7/16
8 years 10 months agoi think in a way you are right he does come often and inform us from time to time i think when we are a little unhappy it hurts the trainers owners who post often and then they dissapear from the forum which is a lossColin Dav wrote: Durbs I don't really feel stable comments are our right, LG is good in that he helps us out from time to time but by no means are we entitled to them. Think it's slightly unfair to slate him when no doubt he's been busy all morning.
My opinion.

Well spotted Naresh. The "tomorrow" o e was eachway on Patrina. ...my mate Mike brought me a few pound today....It was not a good thing, but a nice value eachway
As for today, please, I invite any Clanners to come out to Vaal and sit with me and see how shocking the MTN reception is on course....
The truth is that this was a planned coup and that with first timers the bookies limit you. Coupled with this, the dogs barked already yesterday, when the filly shortened to 8 then to 6 this am. So we waited.
My sms went out as we saddled. Many of them got hung up and I received not sent messages.
Interesting is that the UK messages took very long. A mate was sitting with me and he has an international phone and local phone. He received his local message as they were loading but the international only came through just now.
I have really struggled to open e mails today etc. This is a MTN issue at races. At stables, no problem. Apologies if anyone is offended by us making a few rand with a winner.

I'm not knocking Ziets,(I'v raced too long to believe I am entitled to the graft)but he must have smiled when he posted .................please point out one comment he made that wasn't apparent in computaform!!!........lol
Louis ,because I have no sense of entitlement,I don't begrudge YOU at all today....nor do I believe you owe the forum an explanation!
I DO begrudge that the regulators have put nothing in place that would ensure punters could enjoy some sort of help,in the form of barrier trials or compulsory qualifying workouts,as they do in punter friendly jurisdictions!
If you read all the threads on ABC ,it is apparent that the NHA are an expense without benefit ............their only consistent contribution is taking the piss(sic) :woohoo:
