If New Zealand had genuine bookmakers, instead of these Soviet-era, state-controlled cardigan wearers, we'd be able to bet on the entire card from a premier day meeting. I can see the bookies being reluctant to set a market on maiden races with a heap of first starters but picking and choosing where to field on a day like yesterday is plain ridiculous. I feel a column coming on. Gil ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> $4.98 domain names from Yahoo!.
