You would think if it was the lessor and they had a legal right then they would do at daytime tho through normal practices

They would have no legal right though if they had leased the horse out (which is usually until they up until the end of their 5 year old season).

Ahh. Just thought if hadnt paid up leasing fees etc (dunno how it works ie, all up front or monthly / annually etc) then there would be a right by the lessor to take it back

Am thinking of seeing if he has any friends who would join up at the same time to ease his transition. But a lot of parents seem weary of signing up a 5 year old to rugby.

This^^^

I think its a good approach for any team sports. Try and find a mate to go along and join up with them. In team sports, it can be a bit daunting if you dont know anyone else, particularly at that age.

This horse almost got lifted from my cousin’s place yesterday. Crazy shit:

Wow wee thats crazy indeed!

JKjnrs first hardball cricket season is done and dusted. Fair to say...he is hooked.

Batting and bowling really improved over the season. Fielding too actually, really sharp when it comes to throwing down the wickets, just needs to work on those first time clean pickups.

Ended up as leading bowler for his team is terms of number of wickets, strike rate, average and economy. Batting not as good as just doesnt hit the boundaries the other kids do but gets bat on ball a lot and keeps runs ticking over. Only got out 5 times in the 15 games he played so thats pleasing.

Made his reps team too for takapuna and won the north harbour competion as well as a quadrangular tournament where they smashed each of University, Cornwall and Howick-Pak who are much bigger and strong clubs. First time takapuna has done this at that age level so pretty big acheivement for the boys.

Now on to the rugby season!

Cheers for the Advantage tip too

How good was that!! So awesome to see kiwi horses turn up and deliver in Aus. Really gutsy to fight back and win after resin got ahead

@mariner4life said in Rough tips and other bets...:

Four Group 1s at Rosehill tomorrow. I went to Slipper day last year and it was awesome (fucking terrible day on the punt though, jesus. I think the only thing i got was the token bet on Winx just to say i had something on her when i watched her run).

I've got early ones on Time to Reign and Pin Sec based purely on the expectation of a wet track. But the Slipper is open as fuck.

Cosmic force very popular given the wet track. Got smashed in from $51 after last weeks win. My mate at Snowden racing reckons Pin Sec will be hardest to beat. Ive got an early one on Anaheed at $41 so hoping puts in a good run but really tough race to pick.

Lots of kiwis over this weekend. Rosehill race 1 has Avantage and very keen to see how it measures up. Resin looks very good but keep an eye on Serene Miss. Could run a big race at odds.

Keen to see how The Autumn Sun goes too over the 2000m. Not sure it can be that far back this time on the heavy track. A few kiwis in that race including Crown Prosecutor which given it is likely to be leading or close to it and also coming back from 2400m, could be the last horse that The Autumn Sun has to get by to win. Jmac on board too!

@JK Several media are saying that their winning streak has ended though, which I think is bullshit.

Agree with the rest of your previous post, btw.

Sounds like something newshub or nzherald would do.

Its far from logical

@Hooroo said in Winning Streak v Losing Streak V Draw:

What are folks thoughts on here? Dose a draw end a winning or losing streak?

Yep - it ends both streaks.

However the team after a draw is also still 'unbeaten' or 'yet to win' depending on the situation.

Ie, the chiefs are yet to win a game this year....

IMO, only if they've actually played.

The declared draw between the Highlanders and Crusaders hasn't ended their winning streak IMO.

Yeah well thats obvious. I dont think that was the question tho.....
