Looking at the weather, could be challenging wind and rain the the lead! tough putting up all the Tents? Showers on the Day. Any chance that Opie could be riding? a G3 and two L black type races. plus a $200k Final. -
Plenty of excitement still for the grass roots participants. As far as I can see , NZ is still running meetings every Sunday , and the Manawatu Club are still racing , Southland seem to have plenty of meetings.?? Is hard to follow them all with there being so many. Indeed The Galah commented on the extra money that was put in to Southland last season , and Mikey thinks there is too many meetings already midweek (at Waikato and places lie that) . so how is that HRNZ Not looking after the grass roots pressure you strive for ? overdoing it according to these blokes ? In fact your Metro Friday clubs run MAIDEN races at most meetings ? never did that much in the past . But it does give, your so-called 'poor trainers' that train bugger All winners can have a go in the city at that even if they want too. Won't get anything against Telfers, Purdons , Green, Kentuckiana and that though. so better to stay in own class. So I say it's better to have REGULAR (52 weeks a year) midweek meet at Cambridge (and/or Southland) that would Encourage the small players (with a smaller team of horses) to make a living , and regularly participate. Just like Queensland and Victoria and NSW do quite successfully. there's a race for every horse , every week available. that's Important HRNZ are getting close to achieving it as well. so are doing the best they can with the amount of participants left running. Good Luck to em ' 🏆 YES = racing horse numbers have dropped everywhere. Because the Costs are very high to run a horse these days , so if you're NOT making a living out of it , and it was just a hobby, might as well do something else these days . like me and Brodie and Galah and Chief . Go and play golf or something 😁 . or get a small Te Akau share in a horse lol . they are still popular 😂😂 -

I see the beached cannine @Comic Dog the self judged more learned and knowledgeable online commentators have needed to go talk to a horse valuer to challenge my assessment that Damask Rose is probably worth around $1.5m+ (NZD!) as a broodmare at this stage of her career. Valuing any bloodstock is a subjective exercise and only an auction gives the true market value. But having followed the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale for a number of years I would say my analysis was close to the mark. You only have to look through the sales results to see broodmares sold around the AUD$1.3m mark that have done far less on the racecourse to say that contrary to one persons view if Damask Rose sold for AUD$500k you would be quite disappointed. Some people should really graduate from reading comics and watching cartoons! https://catalogue.magicmillions.com.au/sale/25GWM -

There is a saying "If aint't broke don't fix it" So who's decision was it to start Jacobite Rising at 2000+m after winning 1600m at its third start? -

Isn't that how any form analysis or ratings are calculated? Isn't racing all about winning and who you beat? Then compared to who they are up against next? I'm sure the irony of what you are saying doesn't escape you when the whole basis of your critique is who DR has raced against and been beaten by!
