Saw Clarry at Ciaron Maher stable doing interviews yesterday.

Update on horse he is in with me. Has been disappointing lately and it is having probably its last start for us on saturday, in race 4 at Edenhope.

It’s number 1 and prophetically called     “ centre square “.

Tbh, I only took a share, ignoring my usual selection methods, because Clarry was involved.

Have you ever heard of MyRacehorse Redleg? Apparently gives people a chance to have micro-shares in a horse.

    Must be a syndicator.

    Good way to have an interest in a racehorse cheaply.

    If you like clams, I have Vongole running in the last at Moonee Valley friday night.

    Ran 3rd, a great effort for a 9 year old.

    Probably have 1-2 more runs before retirement.

    Don't forget Centre Square in race 4 today at Edenhope, with Clarry and me as part owners.

    Vongole having probably his last start on friday at Cranbourne in race 7 at 9.15 PM.

    Still trying hard to win at 9 years old.

    Won't mention the Dees atm, as a few of them are looking like they are retiring too, the way they are playing.

    Strange this thread transitioned from bananas to racehorses.

    The closest thing to a crossover I can think of is MarioKart.

    Perhaps someone can help me out here. On another thread a poster used the familiar term "first world" - as in first world issue. Obviously, the term "third world" is used often and is familiar. But has anyone heard the term "second world" used or written anywhere? I cannot ever remember it being used - and while i can guess, what does "second world" actually mean?

    Happy to help you out, Froggy.

    Originating during the Cold War, countries were classed as:

    First World - Aligned with the Western bloc, led by the USA

    Second World - Aligned with the Eastern bloc, led by the Soviet Union

    Third World - Non-aligned and developing nations

    You're spot on with your observation that "Second World" is not a term we ever hear.

    Thanks D, I've never heard of that explanation. I've always wrongly assumed that first world meant advanced countries, third word meant the poorest nations, and i simply guessed that second world was the inbetweeners. You live and learn!

    What are you doing in here, Mr Stone?!😄

    Speculatively answering my own question: Lifting its erudition?

    These days they like to use 'developed' and 'developing' nations. They don't have a term for 'going backwards at a rate of knots' nations.

    Another popular one is 'NICs'; Newly industrialised countries, which is a blanket term for countries which have added industrial capacity by underbidding developed country industry thanks to shooting anyone who asks for a pay rise and not minding if their is heavy metals waste in the mains water. Basically 'growing GDP, no civil society'.

    An old one from 'Yes, Prime Minister', is of course TLPACs. 'Tin-pot little African country'. Never caught on in the mainstream, for some reason.

    Speaking of smoothies, the banana smoothie still remains the best IMO.

    The green smoothie can be wretch inducing, the berry smoothie can fill the mouth with seeds and the Acai smoothie can be very rich and sickly sweet.

    Ran 4th tried hard and retired.

    With Witts, Moyle, Knobel and Read at the Suns, Kalani’s choice should be pretty easy.

    We will need to draft another ruckman in the next year or two, or trade one in.

    As well as getting Kalani.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
