Everyone has got so used to the ATC thing by now, that no one expects much from the atc or hrnz anymore,other than to let auckland continue,irrespective of the self harm and harm they do the industry as a whole. just groundhog day. Its great that westpacs not panicking though...Actually why would anyone think they would panic. Thats a bit of a mystery as they won't ever lose any money,but hey,they're not ,so thats good so we are told. -
i just had a look at the unhinged interview and it seems the owner trainer had been in hospital for about 4 weeks and munro had the horse in that time.Munro mentioned dover terrace had worked well ,at, sounds like dalgetys recently and was expected to race well.I thought it great to see that trainer get a win.I wish there was more people like him still in the game,but unfortunately there aren't anymore. Anyway,from memory i think it was a horse that at times could look a little hairy and sweaty pre race but last night it looked spot on and a lot of work would have gone into getting it like that,with munro just topping it off with a different environment. and company work. We've all got our own theories and one of the ones i have isthe likes of beach work will improve almost any horse,as long as it settles in,but that only last for a couple of weeks and then there is no improvement and if they are worked on the beach a bit hard they actually go off pretty quick. We've had about 3 horses trained like that and the same pattern emerged for each one.i'm not saying that applied in this case. I also have a theory that horses worked around the grass verges of the roads and jogged 45 minutes will end up much ,much fitter than one jogged around a track for 30-40 minutes.i'm absolutely sure of that from trying that but the only thing is a farmer with a tractor trailer full of big hay bales flapping,tailgating you for no apparent reason ,can cause your horse an injury. I've often wondered whether that was part of p nairns winning formula when he was going good,although i have no idea how he works them. That was just a guess. anyway the point is there can be quite a difference in performance within 2-4 weeks sometimes. personally i think that racing in nz is pretty good as far as everything currently being above board.the riu did a good good in recent years,not so sure about the last year or so,they need to do more out of competition testing but i'm guessing maybe a couple of administrators probably wouldn't want that .Theres only a couple of stables that i would guess the vet helps significantly enough to notice. I think the cullen stable is by far the best current example of that,but i'm only guessing.Not saying its anything that other couldn't get if they used the same vet,although i have noticed over the years that tyhe odd,now retired vet certainkly had his favorites when it came to things like that. Anyway ,i had better not go down that rabbit hole or chief will get all fired up.
