      telfer horses

      Upstage into Andarta multi with the driver change was good value. Be interesting to see what Iron Heart does although that field does look a bit stronger.

      Programming

      By mikeynz · Posted

      In 2020 Westport set the record for a grass track meeting, not far from getting to the 2mil, ii races but notably 13 ran in the Westport Cup, recently they have struggled for numbers in the main race  through bad programming and the turnover has dropped accordingly, HRNZ need to address this anomaly or has the horse already bolted? Nelson next week will be affected by Timaru racing 2 days before them, I note Nelson objected in the draft calendar but HRNZ didn't take notice.......also Omakau objected to Auckland Cup returning to  new years eve, that was thrown out too, only one southern horse has ventured north this time, if HRNZ are keen to boost stakes then bulk up Westport, Omakau and Nelson's main races, Auckland new years eve, no issue with that but the Cup should be in march, and try and get co operation with Oz too, I thought Auckland Cup might be good in January but their is a circuit of racing in Oz leading to the Hunter Cup but in March, leads in nicely to the slots and you can attract ozzies over for while, mind you if they keep winning everything then maybe the locals might not want them at all lol.

      auckland racing

      By the galah · Posted

      having watched the first 5 races,you can't help but think racing at any south island grass track is so much better than anything auckland ever delivers,even on their supposed best race day. and that is where hrnz is pouring all the money into. those last 2 races have been totally ridiculous. in race 4, only 3 went away then they ran what the commentator said was the slowest mid race  half he could ever remember in 30 years of calling,yet no one at the back showed any intent to improve.. then that race just run,i thought a bit of a joke myself. Sure david buthcer won,but anyone watching the race must have thought what a ridiculous spectacle. David butcher just drove to block anyone behind him. He moved out then in then out then in then out then in then finally out again, whenever anyone behind him tried to move up. None of that rubbish ever happens at a south island track .

      Timaru Track Inspection - after six races?!

      By JJ Flash · Posted

      Agree it was a shocker Billy C. The other interesting ride i saw recently was  MYSTIC PARK (B Murray) - Restrained from a wide draw to obtain cover shortly after the start. Dictated wider near the 1000 metres by IN VEGAS which shifted away from the heels of TREYBON. Stewards questioned B Murray regarding the performance of the favoured runner, who advised he had been out-paced on a good tempo through the early and middle stages, with the gelding then laying outwards in the home straight and becoming awkwardly placed on the heels of IN VEGAS in the middle stages of the run home and when held up had to shift ground inwards. He added the gelding had found the line fairly, and that carrying 62 kgs today had been a factor in the performance. A post-race veterinary examination did not reveal any obvious abnormality. Who wants to be on it in the near future given its 2 previous performances

      Timaru Track Inspection - after six races?!

      By billy connolly · Posted

      Who cares what the riders think? What about the connections of Mr Pacquiao, would they be satisfied with K. Bakker navigating the Kurow course like a drunken sailor in race one? - https://loveracing.nz/RaceInfo/54859/1/Race-Detail.aspx#video Note that the Trackside head-on coverage of the back straight ceased after Bakker's exhibition on Mr Pacquiao, note also there was no mention of jockey incompetence in Stewards report. The fact that K. Bakker et al can command the same riding fee as Bosson/Grylls etc. is another aberration in this game.
