What is the name of the plant (vine) growing on the tunnel leading from the paddock to the track?

Hard to get a real good look via the paddock cam, but I'd guess it is bouganvillea

The vine has a pretty large thorn on it, not to friendly if you have dogs .

Horticulture help, part 2:

Can anyone put an ID on the yellow-green bushes between the inner rail and turf course for me?

Well unaccustom as I am to posting here, let alone ever reading the plethora of tripe, I was intrigued by the J.G.'s mention of FREDO's pouncing on some 'WASTE OF SKIN" likely in another topic, and ended up following his link. And noticed the HORTICULTURAL HEADING, and decided to check.

CAPPING CABBAGE COD..which is another gardening produce and COD. which I understand was a addition to the soil to provide fertilizer to the plants, and capping is he favorite pastime. It is true that the PADDOCK at DELMAR is AXESQUISITE in both form and variety of many AXEOTIC PLANTS.. a verdant spot for sure.. great fauna and flora and I am told a superb collecion of FILLIES when the meet is on and the sun shines.. and that might be right up the CAPPING DOUG's garden row,. The SPIKETOO would also have some attatchment to the poses :oops: :mrgreen:
