If the question is who was the best horse in the $400,000 National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame Stakes (G2T), a case can be made that it was Zulu Kingdom.View the full article -
Don't agree with that at all. In my experience NZTR are extremely prompt and efficient with this sort of thing. More likely busy trainers a bit delinquent with their change of stable paperwork if that is necessary here. -

Also the BS from @Scooby3051 about a SI trainer NEVER being able to win a SI Premiership flies in the face of his previous anti-Te Akau comments were he said they only send down their worst horses and have a shocking strike rate! Which wasn't true either. Anyway it looks like @Pitman has been feeding @Scooby3051 posts to post so he can avoid public scrutiny while still stirring the pot. All @Pitman needed to do with his 429 starters was improve his strike rate from 10.73 to 9.23 and he would have bolted in. Perhaps that is something a competitive trainer should aim for. -
Yeah and it wasn't beyond Pitman to pinch horses off other trainers offering free fees deals so he could win the National Premiership! -
No doubt. Didn't suggest Handicapping is rosy. It's a very hard job. With reduced numbers of horses to handicap like you are having in NZ, you end up with quite a range all in one race. as you don't have enough races to spread them evenly. Especially for the Fast class in each area in NZ . they have only Very small windows of opportunity. The trotters are doing well there with races put on for them each week North and South so Trotter specialists like Wallis/Hackett, Dr Luk, Nairn and Williamsoms have 'somewhere' to start their horses. thankfully in Brisbane we can run any of our horses 40 times per year. with meetings most days of the week. even the lowest class 30 horses can still get 4 wins each per year and break even in $4- $6k stake races from 40 annual starts. The Handicapper wants NO OWNERS losing money here with their Pride and joy horse. alas in NZ , most owners lose, as you don't have enough races to accommodate them . But hopefully things like the Southern Surge initiative will help remedy that a little bit for some. Well done HRNZ .trying to help yet again the QLD Handicapper can just put a fast class trot each Saturday night for better prizemoney, and run 3 'loose class' trots each Tuesday. in the Pacing Old FFAers like the Grand old kiwi TURN IT UP can win 5 FFA's per year from 20 starts per year and still earn $100,000 per year. even while 10 or 11 years old. excellent stuff. NZ should of followed a similar path . and catered for everyone. But hasn't . Because your top 20 trainers don't send around enough horses lie they used too. they've got quite slack actually ( Telfers and House the exceptions) so your Handicapper is pretty much 'stuck in the mud' , and can just handicap whatever runners you have in NZ that still Turn Up . and it's not many . The state of the economy has a bit to do with it , as well as just having too many AGED PARTICIPANTS bordering on retirement age. Horses are too expensive to run with these fine Horse-people. Dean Shannon (QLD multimillionaire) can afford 17 horses (buying top lots at each sale) with Barry and Scott , but not many others can lol. we are same with Dixon and McMullen with 3 Multimillionaire owners each completely dominating the Group and listed racing. It's surely the sport of Kings. 💰🏆🍻 Go the Handicapper !!!! one of the best workers still going . But slam him as well. it's the NZ way 🤣
