    • Interesting responses - thanks. From my observations - it is a limited number of races where a specific note is made (on NZTR site) for the meeting that nominations will remain open until .. (date/time specified).  So my assumption had been - that in the absence of such a note - that nominations closed on the time/date specified in the programme. However It seems further horses do manage - at least on some occasions - to make it into the nominations late.  And in the races where I've noticed this happening - those horses do NOT appear in the published noms. - they just miraculously appear when the fields are published.       The discussion about the weights is certainly an interesting angle.  I might be wrong - but I now have the impression some ppl diligently nominate in accordance with the required deadline - others are able to lurk - wait to see what's nominated - and act accordingly at that point.  If someone knows this to be wrong - I'm happy to hear the accurate position. Ultimately, what I would want is that whatever system there is - that it be transparent. 1. That the time/date noms will be accepted up until is clearly set for every race & adhered to 2. That when nom.s are extended/left open to a later date/time - that those further noms are added to the published list as they are received (in as close to real-time as possible) There's no conspiracy theory here.  It's just something I've noticed so I'm curious to understand it.  I expect there are trainers / others on this forum who'll know exactly how it works.

    • MyRacehorse and Peter Leidel's Seismic Beauty rattled off her third consecutive front-running victory, this time at the top stakes level, by outlasting Kopion in the Aug. 2 Clement L. Hirsch Stakes (G1) at Del Mar.View the full article
    • Four times in her career, My Racehorse and Peter Leidel's Seismic Beauty (f, 4, Unclo Mo–Knarsdale, by Medaglia d'Oro) has gone immediately to the lead and each time she's won big, but never bigger than she did Saturday in the $400,000 GI Clement L. Hirsch Stakes at Del Mar. It was the first Grade I victory of her career following her first graded score in the GII Santa Margarita Stakes May 25 at Santa Anita. Saturday's win nets her a fees-paid berth in the GI Breeders' Cup Distaff later this fall over this surface. Off at even money, Seismic Beauty went straight to the front and stayed there as favored Kopion (Omaha Beach) was briefly shuffled to last. Seismic Beauty set fractions of :22.85 and :46.63 and never relinquished her advantage, rounding the final turn with a two-length lead. Kopion came flying late, but finished about two lengths in arrears as Seismic Beauty crossed the wire much the best on the day. Her stablemate Richi (Chi) (Practical Joke) was third. Sales History: $250,000 Ylg '22 KEESEP. Lifetime record: 7-4-2-1. O-My Racehorse and Peter Leidel; B-2500 Determined Stud (MD); T-Bob Baffert; J-Juan Hernandez.   The post Seismic Beauty Wires Field in ‘WAYI’ Clement Hirsch appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • 2 races in the southern surge won by horses with trainers based in Christchurch, brilliant. They just keep making it up as it goes.
    • well he drove it well today,made the right moves but it lacked much zip. . its not as good as the winner anyway,so was really only running for 2nd,but given the run it got it should have run 2nd ,not 4th.. you gave to take your chances when you can win as you never know what may happen next week.if they stick to the amateurs and he drives,it may still get a win soon with a good draw,although may need to produce its better form to do that.
