    • yes, was just discussing it with a mate . Leap to Fame seemed to be the best around yet KINGMAN has beaten him in all three classes including that Super NZ Cup win. Luke mcCarthy is just such a hard man to beat anytime. might have the wood on LTF ? beat him with Don Hugo in the Miracle Mile too last year , and likely to repeat.  The Ballarat Trotters Cup went off just now and KEAYANG ZAHARA left em' to it Mr Galah . 22 wins from 23 starts now and she left the Cambridge Slot winner and Interdominion champ ARCEE PHOENIX struggling behind as she Zipped 27 seconds for her last 2 quarters. way too quick for them . Gus won't be at her at the Interdominion on that alas at our home Interdominion in Winter. will any NZers come and bother trying ?  she's is super extraordinary for sure. a flying trotting machine
    • Aussies are taking over. Its not what you know its who you know.
    • i just turned on the tv and channel surfed and saw m brennan just had one runner in tonight. which ran 2nd ,part owned by n40. So obviously brennan still going in queensland.Driven by a gerrard.So maybe they will have more to race soon?
    • k newman is another who was associated with the brennan queensland stable ,but he obviousy came back to christchurch pretty quick,for the warmer weather.. i also see connor  clarke ,who was a sucessful junior and i  had read had moved to the brennan/davine stable mid year ,seems to be back driving in victoria again. People seem to move around a bit from over there. talking about  queensland,or ex queensland. leap to fame is the $1.45 favorite with kingman paying $2.10 tonight due to the draws in the victorian ballarat cup . That seems surprising as leap to fame has drawn wide and given the ease in which kingman won kast week. Still,i hope leap to fame can win .
    • No , but horses that are loose PANIC mate. You know this. I know this . Quite often they get loose at the gallops and crash into rails and all sorts of things can happen. some even try and hurdle the rails to get out there. they hit things alright.     and don't they ever. Horses usually get a FRIGHT when losing their driver. Driving races is nearly a Fright and flight response we get from horses to make them go anyway. they take flight on most occasions.  Horses are pretty stupid when making the decisions themselves mate. this is for sure. Most get on the steel (bit) early and just want to get the race over and done with. I had a nice mare from NZ that got tipped out in a race in a bad accident at Albion. Her driver was badly injured and the horse continued until it caught the field and piled straight into the back of someone and crashed to the track . Sly Davita was never the same after that and was a real shame as just about had her running 2 mins at the time , and was a basket case after.  Horses would pile into things all the time if running loose Mr Galah , especially in a race . They've got no idea they're climbing over a wheel until they actually do it. Every race the driver will stop them from doing this. You know this ? so to be honest I've seen horses hit lots of things . a pole would be different but certainly not out of the realms of possibilities lol 🤣😎 afterall How many stupid car drivers lose control and hit poles All the time for one reason or another. (fate and luck sometimes) I see a horse as no different when out of human control.  p.s my dad got a fractured skull in a race at Brighton once and was in a coma for 4 days , but luckily his horse got home safely after going out the service tractor gate , and a kilometre up the road to her stables , where she was trained from near that track, and even got the sulky' turned around in her stall (somehow when it was wider than the open stall door 😮 , and had her head in the feedtin in the corner getting her after race meal , trying to eat it with the bit in her mouth still a bit of a challenge lol 🤣  bit of a miracle she didn't hit any poles on the way though ? 👍😉
