When it comes to betting on the next election the odds for Labour winning are about the same as Mr Ed winning the Melbourne Cup.
So that only leaves one politicial party as the odds on favourite.
The real questions is who is going to be the stable partner if indeed the jockey John Key needs one when he rides his winner to victory in October?
Will it be the Dancing Dwarfs new replacement Donny Brush or the new leader of the Bro Party Honest Hone?
For my two bobs worth of betting on what's best for Maori I would far prefer to see the current status stay the same.
The thought of Maori moving to the left hand side of the track toward Mana and Pakeha moving to the right toward ACT, leaving middle earth New Zealand lost somewhere in the middle, is almost as scary as losing the World Cup to the Aussies.
