I don't know who or how it all works but it gives us crusty old (and not so old) souls rusted on to their particular codes an unprecedented opportunity to put forward their thoughts, proposals, praise, criticism and reminisces. It is terrific to hear the thoughts of others, generally in a very respectful way, often with a bit of well aimed banter and often humorous digs at each other.

On a serious note, it probably provides administrators with either a laugh, a frown or a few ideas about the "temperature" of the electorate as they doubtless read what is put up here, not for any clandestine reason I would hope, so long as they realise it is not personal and that it represents the thoughts of people who only wish their industry code to prosper. To all the "clockwork" tipsters who put their reps on the line each week, brilliant work.....It is a task to analyze every race and they do it every week.

Doubtless, the New Year will see us all pushing our prospective barrows for better or for worse and hopefully, everyone can find an elusive winner of two. Good luck to everyone.

He seems a promising type - thoughts please.

Up and comers Perfect Major and To Fast To Serious have the right draws to test themselves against the little champ Chicago Bull.

No Shockwave but still plenty of interest.

So, out comes the draw on the HRA newsfeed with an article about the field and the draw, along with a link on Twitter to the live draw. I clicked to hear a replay.....I like a bit of vaudeville.....up comes the response, this tweet is unavailable Okay, I will head to TAB Radio "Soundcloud Podcast" replay of "One Out One Back"......hmm, a shortened version of 40.55 minutes is posted which cuts off before the draw takes place.

Question is, why try to hide what happened....Why put the link up if the tweet is unaccessable, many would have heard it, it is not the end of the world, so be up front. True, the draw should have happened without incident, drawing 12 balls out for 12 names shouldn't be that hard...but it did happen, so be transparent. That's all.
