    • Interestingly I note HRNZ are looking at the possibility of Nelson getting 2 days back, strangely though a Tuesday, Thursday in May, if you don't have 1 weekend day then why bother and if not tied in with Blenhiem would they get the numbers anyway.numbers were not flash in January, was that because of location, the mile raceday or the Ashburton meet 2 days after, Blenhiems numbers were good so is going to Richmond just not so appealing anymore?

    • I find the idea that by geo blocking all this so called money that's punted on overseas sites will come flooding back to NZTAB as being rather naive, many will be serious punters but if you limit them they will more than likely stop betting, no one likes a monopoly and sure 100 million to Racing and Harness in NZ looks appealing but its also a big gamble by Entain as well, they have thrown plenty of money NZs way but are they getting anything back?
    • By Mike Love  Wild Willow will run a short priced favourite ($2.45 FF) in today’s Garrards Horse and Hound Hororata Cup over 3000m at Methven. The five-year-old Art Major gelding has won five from 10 starts in his career to date and Rakaia trainer Warren Stapleton believes he will be hard to beat again.  “If he goes anywhere near as good as he did on the second day at Blenheim, after doing all of that work early, he’s got to be hard to beat,” said Stapleton. “He’s a big strong horse, and it’s a little bit more suited for him this time. There’s only eight in it. He’s sound enough.” Despite a minor mishap at Blenheim on the second day, Stapleton insists Wild Willow is good to go for today’s assignment.  “The second day at Blenheim he got skittled at the start. After the race we had to get him stitched. It slightly interrupted his preparation but in saying that we’re happy. He’s missed a wee bit but everything seems to be okay. We’re hopeful.”  Although Stapleton says Wild Willow’s preparation has not really been too interrupted, they may look to freshen him up win lose or draw after today.  “We will probably give him ten days off and let everything settle down.” Wild Willow has had one start at Methven which was the green mile back in December when finishing fourth and only one length behind top tier performer Better Eclipse.  Stapleton also lines up two other runners today, Ivona Dadic in Race 4,the Fiona Stuart Memorial Pace over the mile, and Spirited Lou in Race 8, the Hamish Scott and Kim Lawson Mobile Pace. Ivona Dadic will need to overcome a horrible draw of 15.  “She’s been going well. Went huge on the first day of Blenheim. Terrible draw, over a mile,” says Stapleton, ” she will try hard but she’ll be doing well to get anything from there.” While Spirited Lou will need a form reversal to trouble the judge despite drawing favourable in one over the 2300m. “He’s been very disappointing. His formline says it all. His work at home is excellent although we get egg on our faces when we take him to the races. I’m not expecting anything too much from him this time.” Ricky May will take the drive on all three of Stapleton’s runners, among a busy book of six drives across the meeting.  Race one gets underway at 12:25pm.

    • GI Arkansas Derby victor Super Stock (Dialed In) was represented by his first foal at Leadem Farm in Arkansas, the operation announced Saturday afternoon. Out of the Ohio-bred three-time winner Sprinkle Time (Shackleford), who raced for the colt's owner Keith Asmussen–and who also campaigned Super Stock in partnership with Erv Woolsey, the foal hit the ground early Feb. 7. His dam is a half-sister to MSW Justalittlesmoke (Smoke Glacken) as well as MSW Portales (Sharp Humor) and SP Hazy Command (Mastery). Super Stock placed third in the GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity as a juvenile before winning the GI Arkansas Derby in 2021 and finishing 15th in the race for the roses. By the time he retired, the son of Dialed In won just over $1.2-million in his career. “He is a very strongly built colt with a great frame and body to him and we couldn't be happier with him,” said Leadem Farm's Tyree Wolesensky.
