NZ First had two cows. One of them was strange looking, had only one udder, and its milk was sticky and funny tasting. But you should have seen it tow the milk float!

The Stuff article also says that Winnie’s “coiffured hair was covered with a hairnet then squashed by a protective helmet…”

I hope some enterprising photographer was quick enough to get a snap of that too – would be a great electioneering shot of the poodle looking like Ena Sharples, pitching for the pensioner vote.

Buggerlugs

The other thing I forgot to mention is that calling him the darling of the racing industry is a load of bullshit. The vast majority of trainers won’t get anywhere near the money he has poured from our pockets into ‘premier’ races. This cash all goes to the richest trainers and owners who have the best horses racing in the big events. Nearly all small and medium trainers I have spoken to reckon he’s a piece of shit. Once again, Winston proves himself an elitist bottom-feeding fuck.

Winston has done the proverbial in his own nest. The money went where he said, not where the industry wanted it. So you have the minister making decisions that affect the outcome of the industry. The Winston fans will only see the positives but it’s not the legacy that he thinks it will be. Strangely, the announcement about the thoroughbred funding has been made yet.

polemic

ahh
and they’ve turned into the final bend

and they’re coming down the back straight

now with “Winston First clinging desperately onto Spencer” followed closely by “Simon Bridges on Way Ahead” followed further back by “Bob Clarkson on Been there done that”

and now Simon Bridges on Way Ahead is pulling away and look he’s passing Winston First who’s no longer first

and Simon Bridges is pulling right out in front

and oh no look now look the wheels have spun off the Winston First sulky

and Simon Bridges has pulled right ahead and oh no Bob Clarkson has run right over Winston First and Spencer!!

and oh no Spencer has broken away from the Sulky

and Simon bridges on Way Ahead crosses the line a full 400metres ahead of the field

and we’ve now got the track marshalls rushing out to assist the injured

and oh look at that in a magnificent gesture by Bob Clarkson on Been-there-Done-That, look he has reigned in the distressed horse Spencer and quitely led him back to the Priveleged Committee vet, Spencer is bleeding profusely and looks mortally wounded we’ll come back to you shortly with an update but it looks like they’ll have to put that horse down immediately!!

Ladies and Gentlemen what a dramatic end to the Tauranga Cup!

Now for the next race the Wigram Progressive Cup………

Number four in the 7.35 p.m. race tonight was named after the Minister of Racing.
It has more chance of winning than Winnie has in Tauranga.
