    • Well the Central Otago Trots on Jan 2 are claiming the biggest crowd in South Island outside of NZ Cup day at Addington. They say they had 8000.. Obviously this means they have left other well attended meetings  eg Motukarara ,Nelson , Westport and Kaikoura in the dust. Thats impressive ! Particularly when Omakau is a tiny town with very few populated  towns nearby !  
    • Well as a Cost Accountant etc I clearly don't know as much as you but often what happens in the past can assist with predicting the future. Like I know when I post you will be looking for a slip up ,to point out my weakness and your strength....you are the boss afterall ! My friends, neighbours and family have long and interesting historical association with Trentham and my Father used to fly me to the races in Cup week there from the time I was a foetus.  Looking into the future I don't see much future for the place. ....bulldoze it ! If NZ Racing could get a huge sum of money out of Avondale and other Northern tracks ,and I was in charge ,I would build a purpose built racetrack in the Waikato with a straight 1200-1600 flat course with all the bells and whistles .I'd employ various experts to design the tracks and training facilities so I'd offer you a job to help design it. ! Meanwhile , did anyone actually go Trentham today for an 'update'  ? Very few on here go to Ellerslie ,a few to Te Rapa , none to Trentham .........a few to Riccarton ,two to Timaru and three to the Coast...and Doomed to Woodville and you to Motukarara trots and to Ellerslie to get a handful of sandy peat and young grass from the outside fence !
    • Jarrod Fry returns to the mounting yard on Romantic Choice after winning the Canadian Club Black Pearl Stakes at Geelong Racecourse on January 04, 2025 in Geelong, Australia. (Brett Holburt/Racing Photos) Romantic Choice delivered a spirited front-running performance to claim victory in the Listed Black Pearl Stakes at Geelong. Trained by Tom Dabernig and expertly ridden by Jarrod Fry, the mare held off a late challenge to secure her first stakes win, rewarding connections with the $120,000 winner’s cheque. Breaking smartly from barrier three, Romantic Choice surged to the lead early, dictating terms with a commanding two-length margin. She maintained her advantage through the 1200m journey, resisting a strong inside bid from race favourite She’s Bulletproof in the final strides. Pharari finished third, flashing home late, with Brazen Lady rounding out the top four. The daughter of Toronado stopped the clock at 1:10.57 on a Good 3 surface, paying $13.00 for the win with the top online bookmakers. Her victory marked the seventh in her career from 18 starts, taking her total prizemoney earnings to over $421,000. Geelong Race 9: 2025 Black Pearl Stakes Replay – Romantic Choice https://horsebetting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Geelong-2025-Listed-Black-Pearl-Stakes-04012025-Romantic-Choice-Tom-Dabernig-Jarrod-Fry.mp4 Fry credited Romantic Choice’s determination in the post-race interview. “She was all heart today. We found a good rhythm up front, and she just kept digging deep when it mattered most,” he said. “It’s a thrill to win a race of this calibre, especially on a mare in such strong form.” Trainer Tom Dabernig praised the mare’s consistency, noting her ability to thrive in the fast-paced conditions. “She’s been a marvel this preparation, and today’s result is a testament to her tenacity,” Dabernig said. “We’ll assess her recovery, but a trip to Tasmania could be on the cards as she’s clearly thriving.” She’s Bulletproof ($2.45 at Picklebet) ran gallantly in defeat, closing strongly along the rails but falling just 0.3 lengths short. Pharari ($6.00), trained by Ciaron Maher, also impressed, finishing 0.4 lengths back in third. Romantic Choice’s victory added to Dabernig’s outstanding summer campaign and secured another stakes success for jockey Jarrod Fry, whose tactical ride ensured the mare’s front-running tactics paid off in style.

    • Holymanz winning the $300,000 Coastal Classic at Geelong. (Reg Ryan/Racing Photos) Holymanz delivered a resolute performance to secure back-to-back victories in the Coastal Classic at Geelong, overcoming a strong field and a weight disadvantage to claim the $300,000 feature. Ridden patiently by Saffie Osborne, the five-year-old gelding tracked early leaders Dashing and Mathletic through a steady tempo before launching his winning bid in the final stages of the 1700m contest. As the field turned for home, Riot and Rose made a bold move to seize the lead, but Holymanz surged late, outstaying his rivals to win by 0.4 lengths in a time of 1:43.21 on a Good 3 track. Starting at $3.80 with the top bookmakers, Holymanz defeated the Peter Moody-trained Riot and Rose ($4.40), with Dashing ($3.20) finishing a brave third after leading for much of the race. Geelong Coastal Classic Replay – Holymanz https://horsebetting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Geelong-2025-Coastal-Classic-04012025-Hollymanz-Ciaron-Maher-Saffie-Osbourne.mp4 Osborne, celebrating a feature win during her Australian stint, credited her patient tactics for the result. “The key was timing the run just right,” Osborne said. “I waited as long as possible before asking him for his best, and he responded beautifully under the weight.” Trainer Ciaron Maher praised Holymanz’s toughness and consistency. “He’s carrying more weight than last year, but he showed his class,” Maher said. “He’s a genuine stakes-level horse, and this win highlights his resilience and adaptability.” Riot and Rose, trained by Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman, continued an impressive return campaign, pushing Holymanz to the wire. Meanwhile, Dashing earned plaudits for his tenacity, battling on for third despite being headed in the straight. Holymanz, a son of Almanzor, now boasts six career wins from 24 starts, with career earnings surpassing $960,000. Horse racing news View the full article
