      Midnight Diamond _ 27 into 5??

      By Brodie · Posted

      Midnight Diamond race 5 Addington Friday night - $17 into $5?.? Has someone put next to nothing on it to win to shorten it into massive unders? Does anyone know id any legitimate reason why someone would be punting this horse the way it has been performing? Yes Ross Houghton is now training it but can anyone see why it has plummeted into $5  over 2600metres as it has never shown much staying ability in its career when Robbie Holmes was training it! Must have been given something for it to be a massive market mover on what it has shown previously in its career to date!

      Will any races be run right handed?

      Makes a mockery of the system. How can a trainer be in two places at once, it is all smoke and mirrors.

      southern surge

      By the galah · Posted

      well it looks like the souther surge has turned out to be a successful promotion. over double the number of horses racing at the meeting this week in southland, than what raced at the same time last year. What surprises me is that the amount of horses racing ,who have already been racing most of the year. One thing i've noticed over the years is horses who have previously raced most of the year,then keep racing over winter,well theres a pattern ,which is their form will drop off once it warms up,if they keep racing. Which seems predicatble as racing and training in winter is harder on a horse. But the southern surge has brought all the southland horses out of the woodwork. The next question will be,how will that impact the numbers running later in the year. They aren't machines.   Also, How come the likes of michael house and mark jones are now recorded as training from invercargill. They have obviously found a way of getting aroung the only horses south of the waitaki clause. the clauses said-the horses had to either be based with a trainer domilciled south of the waitaki as at 1 july or trained by a trainer located south of the waitaki. So obviously looking at the horses house and jones have entered ,they were not based with a trainer as at 1 july as they were racing in canterbury. so that means HRNZ have changed it to show that house and jones are now located in invercargil. In other words it appears whereas previously they always said they were located in canterbury,but the horses under the care of a southland trainer,they are now saying house and jones are actually located in invercargill.. Has the souther surge resulted in a change in how HRNZ now record where trainers are located. Like if i any trainer was to go on holiday in invercargill for a month,and take their horses ,does that mean they can get their training base changed to show invercargill and thus qualify for any area limiting southland series. I guess so.. another strange thing that seems to be occurring at hrnz. One of many.
