Where have I made excuses? What's the opposite of fanboy? Are you their No1 Hater? LOL the old online debating trick. Have you been to @Transparency and @Thomass school and trained in the art of making something up, attributing it to someone and then repeating it? Where did I say that Te Akau were the best trainers in Australasia? The rest of your argument is illogical. The only hypocrisy is in your cynical mind. Oh but it's OK for @Pitman to achieve in the same sandpit? BTW I know you rarely take those green envy lenses off but Te Akau have had considerable success in Australia. Anyway calling NZ Racing a sandpit just about sums up your Anti-Racing sentiment. @Comic Dog -

SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY — Hindered at the start and helped at the end, when it counted the most, Quiet Street (Street Boss) launched her career Wednesday with a victory in the finale at Saratoga Race Course. The chart shows that the Godolphin homebred trained by Hall of Famer Bill Mott won the $100,000 maiden special weight for 2-year-old fillies by a neck over Lit Ship (Midshipman). She completed the 5 1/2 furlongs on the Mellon Turf Course in 1:03.72 and paid $15.60. Getting to the wire first was an adventure. She was bumped leaving the gate by the 8-5 favorite Delightful Darling (Flameaway) and ended up last in the field of nine under Junior Alvarado. Rather than trying to rush the filly up into contention, Alvarado played a patient game. Coming off the turn he was able to move Quiet Street five or six lengths wide and commence what turned into a winning move. “She was off a tad slow,” Mott said. “And then, naturally, when you're off a tad slow, the others have a chance to pancake you and she got pancaked a little bit. He let her settle into stride, and she found her way.” On the front end, Delightful Darling was tiring after fractions of :22.34 and :45.96. Lit Ship pounced in the stretch and with plenty of momentum looked like she would snag the win. Moments later, though, she shied from the Irad Ortiz, Jr.'s left-handed crop and headed toward the outer rail and Alvarado guided Quiet Street into the gigantic opening. Ortiz managed to straighten out Lit Ship and got her back into the race, but she had surrendered too much ground. Even when Quiet Street was last, several lengths behind the pace, Mott said he figured she might be able to get into contention. “I wasn't ruling her out because I know she can run,” he said. “I didn't know if she was going to get up to win, but I didn't rule her out completely, that's for sure.” Alvarado was following Lit Ship toward the front and managed to avoid any trouble when the filly moved to her right. “He was headed out, but there was plenty of room,” Mott said. “We never got impeded. I guess he just had to angle in a little bit. I don't think it bothered us that much.” Mott trained Quiet Street's dam, Serene (Tapit) early in her career and saddled her for her first race before she was moved to Eoin Harty. He said Serene was a “big, tall long filly”, a different physique than Quiet Street, her first foal. Trainer Bill Mott and jockey Junior Alvarado do their post-race debrief | Sarah Andrew “Very high strung, kind of a flighty type, light-made filly, but very athletic,” Mott said. “She's been very, very honest every one of her works. She's always worked good every time. She's done what we've asked her to do.” Mott said that Quiet Street is not a sprinter type because she is longer and leaner and not overly muscular. The next step, Mott said, is to see what range she might have. “I have to try her. I have to stretch her out and try,” Mott said. “If she'll stretch out and be effective, that will be what I want. I'm not looking to make her into a sprinter. If she is, she is. I'd like to see her go on. We prefer the longer races.” In addition to the win, Quiet Street got a bonus: an education that isn't typically available in morning breezes on the Oklahoma turf training track. “Well, when you pass the whole field, you do get some experience out of it, sometimes maybe as much or more than going long if you're up on the front end,” Mott said. “She should have learned something from it. I guess the big question will be how far is she going to go?

You'd probably want to be careful taking the 12s as they might target the Kiwi with her and then she might not go down for the guineas? -

I'm pleased for you. Of course that adds even more mystery to the source of your cynicism. -
I'm having lots of fun! So absolutely I am.
