I'd ask for these posts to go in the Harness Thread.....but that would be a touch deceptive

Would have been 5.2% there for trots if not for my sister having a baby shower ![]() Whats your estimate of crowd numbers? 2000-3000? The amount HRNSW have spent on the live acts and bonus (insurance for bonus) and probably not many more eyeballs on the trots is mismanagement. Maybe if they let country clubs race Saturday night or even Friday night people could get there and you dont need to spend a cent (maybe forego a little turnover).

Just to lighten the mood (and I know these comments should be moved to the Harness thread),
A long time ago I was selling drugs in WA. I had a week’s road-trip planned around Toodyay, Northam, York and a few towns further out. “Mrs FF? Want to come on a road trip?”. “OK”. We ended up in a wheat belt town that night and I said, “Let’s go to the local trots?” “OK”. I’m winning at this point. In sub-zero temperatures, with beanies on and huddling around a roaring 44 gallon drumfire…I backed 4 winners. She’s never been the same since.

I've a feeling we get some fuel from Malaysia which would give at least a tiny bit of relief - tentatively
![]() Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the strait is open to all except the US and Israel, while adding that some ships from “different countries” had already been allowed through. In practice, however, Western-linked vessels face significant hurdles in securing safe passage. READ MORE: Hormuz war risk premiums spike – Euronews According to Lloyd’s List, India, Pakistan, China, Iraq, and Malaysia are discussing transit plans directly with Tehran, with officials in the first three countries as well as Türkiye confirming clearance. The Financial Times reported, citing maritime data, that at least eight ships – including oil tankers and bulk carriers tied to India, Pakistan and Greece, as well as Iran’s own fleet – have sailed through the strait but used an unusual route around the island of Larak, which is close to the Iranian coast and where waters are much shallower than in the middle of the strait. |

seems iran has been letting tankers out if they are from 'friendlies'. the US seems to be suggesting they have let some iranian oil out. read what you will into what the real situation is.

Albo may have bowed to whinging from the right, but if this situation gets worse and nothing was put in place the attacks from the right wing triumvirate desperate for relevance will only get worse.

You two are doing my OCD head in, both with Trump avatars and talking about nonsense in the wrong threads.

This is actually one of the few remaining threads where Trump is a legit thing to talk about! How the rest fits in I have no idea.

After TACO, S&P 500 up a bit and ASX 200 up a bit.
