Yes my blog is supposed to be about welfare and related matters but the grind can get you down. To add to that the Wellington weather has been utterly abysmal. The lack of summer started as an interesting talking point but has become a real downer. My often-noisy, chaotic, creative daughter left home for Dunedin and the house is too quiet. So for some good news....
Readers may recall my exuberance over a horse I have taken a share in, winning his first start (3rd in his lifetime) at Alexandra Park back in late December.
Since then Everything has won three more times, and had a 4th and 5th placing. I went to watch him at Otaki on Sunday where he won the Otaki Cup.
The trainer, Nicky Chilcott, is riding (or should that be 'driving') on the crest of a wave. It's a thrill to be involved.

Remember we all knew you before you came into the money, Lindsay :)
Well done with your horse it sounds like you have got a good one.We in the Waikato are just starting to get some good weather after a wet year.
Wife's share in a horse has turned out to be profitable fun even with a jaunt to Oz (not quite successful enough to stay there though) then the horse went lame and, after a year of mucking about, will go out to pasture for breeding. Some money will still come in from that I guess but its time to look for another. What's the odds on getting a great but dirt cheap horse at the sales twice in a row?

Congratulations Lindsay. Perhaps we might see some hot tips coming our way soon. Having a flutter while we ponder the fate of the nation, "a bob each way" as they say.
