    • Nearly the greatest of them All did exactly that for you Doomed. I think of her as the Best NZer ever , with the 2 Cox Plate Wins , a Hong Kong Mile and much more.  SUNLINE was a 4 time NZ horse of the year , but only Won a total of 10 races in New Zealand tracks. very surprising small number of NZ starts . (won all 10 as well )  In fact today is her Anniversary of her Group 1 NZ Win . The Waikato Sprint Feb 9th 2002. 23 years ago today. What a Ripper she was 🏇 , and like you say , was Fantastic her 9 trips to Australia netting another 21 wins and $14,000,000 in prizemoney.  Was still a great of NZ racing (like Imperatriz) conquering the Aussies for fun.  (Perhaps Verry Elleegant a close 2nd as best kiwi ? with an MC 🏆 and that)    
    • Is the guy on the left with the red star @Brodie?  Or @Gammalite on a comeback? 
    • Race 9 DR JOHN SOUTHWORTH MEMORIAL VASE 1200 I’M ALL IN (W Kennedy) - Began awkwardly losing ground. Declared a non-runner by the Adjudicative Committee after it was prevented from taking an effective part in the race owing to the mechanical failure of the starting stalls. SLIPPER ISLAND (R Hutchings) - Began awkwardly losing ground. Declared a non-runner by the Adjudicative Committee after it was prevented from taking an effective part in the race owing to the mechanical failure of the starting stalls. Underwent a post-race veterinary examination which did not reveal any abnormality. DECEMBER (G Rooke) - Reared as the start was effected losing ground. G Rooke reported to Stewards that the barriers malfunctioning had affected his mount in the early stages, however under [Rule 632(1)], the runner could not be considered to be declared a non-starter as it finished in fourth position. IMPENDABELLE (M McNab) - Restrained in the early stages to obtain cover from the outside barrier. WHISKEY ‘N’ ROSES (S Spratt) - Raced three wide without cover through the early and middle stages. Went off stride passing the 600 metres and was then pulled up by its rider. When questioned, the rider reported that she felt that after going off stride rounding the bend, something had been amiss with the gelding. Underwent a post-race veterinary examination which did not reveal any abnormality. Following this race Stewards interviewed the Starter and all riders in relation to the start. The Starter reported that the gates had opened as he was in the process of resetting the starting button and without him giving his verbal call. After considering submissions, Stewards lodged a request for a ruling with the Adjudicative Committee as to whether I’M ALL IN (W Kennedy) and SLIPPER ISLAND (R Hutchings) were denied a fair start due to a malfunction with the starting gates. After considering submissions from Stewards, the Starter and riders the Adjudicative Committee ordered I’M ALL IN and SLIPPER ISLAND to be declared non-starters.
    • Camped this side of bridge on school trip back in the day. Walked past the track and the haunted pub.  
    • When the industry was looking at a partner for the NZ TAB I thought that going with Tabcorp was the logical step however the 5year 'investment' from Entain won the day. Like you I could not see 'Why' from Entain perspective but testing new products for SPORT. not racing is high on my radar. The 5 points highlighted in the above article do not address the most important 'must fix' which is the calendar, pattern and minimum stakes levels . That, as most on this site are aware, requires huge change and has to be made known latest end of this year for implementation for 2026/27 season. 2027/28 is the last of the 5 year funding. By then Entain's true intent will be known so NZTR has to make massive changes under urgency to enable the industry to be prepared for the 20 year 50/50 arrangement.
