Hi all both my computer and I have been unwellThe computer is going all right and I am coming right slowly. I got the down under flue and from that I went down hill. 8 weeks and I am still not right. I had to get a guy in to fix my computer and I am glad that I did so I could come back in to Club Hot Rod.

The computer is supposed to get the virus, not you. Glad you are both on the mend. Welcome back.



Don

Well, welcome back. Sorry to hear you've been (down) under the weather. Good to hear that you are recovering as well as your PC. What ever you had just make sure you don't spread any of it here. I've had enough illnesses and misery this year to last a lifetime.

Thanks guy for your words of wise. Been getting that from a lot of people say you have you keep it thanks.

You haven't been hanging around the stables and passed it on to the horses have you?
Seems like you fellas have got a bit of trouble on your plates there.

Hi johnboy you are so right about big problems here on the new to night they are saying that it may stop the Melbourne cup from going a head. As I am getting better the horse thing is not getting better. Here in vic it is so bad but it will stop the horses from coming from over seas and from interstate for the spring racing.

Yeah, it's affecting our horse-racing industry too, even though we haven't got the virus yet. (And all the border security in the world won't stop it.....it will arrive......eventually.)
We've got mares in Godzone that should have gone to stallions that are stuck in Ausbloodytralia, and vice versa.
One of our top breeders was on the goggle-box the other night saying it will cost him around NZ$3,000,000 this year, (in lost stud fees etc.) and because of a dearth of top-bred foals next year, about the same then too.
That's a lot of dosh, and he's not alone, there's many more out there.
