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.

    Being the author of this thread I thought I would be the first to post under the new upgraded DL.

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
