I think what you say is fair and reasonable comment. When people like that post, I find it best to check out their background to get some context. You get a fair idea of her background by reading her Facebook page, it may take a while lol I'll give you an example of what I am talking about. Colin Wightman thinks there are conspiracies in NZ racing, tracks, centralisation, governance. But if you review his FB page, who his friends are etc etc, he thinks everything in the world is a conspiracy. CONTEXT -

Handy stayer Wuddzz (NZ) (Complacent) came with a well-timed run under Tim Clark to land the Gold Coast Turf Club Trophy (2400m) at Randwick. The eight-year-old son of Complacent relished the heavy conditions as he came from well beyond midfield to defeat Cormac T (Nathaniel) and Bluestone (NZ) (Reliable Man). The victory continued a stellar 24 hours for Ballarat trainer Henry Dwyer, who saddled Asfoora (Flying Artie) to win the Gr.1 Nunthorpe Stakes (1000m) at York on Friday. “He conserved all of his energy in the first half of the race,” Clarke said. “He went to sleep and relaxed beautifully. “He liked the ground, and I was able to edge out down the side and get on the back of the horses that were going take me into the race. “When the gap appeared he really built into it nicely and he was full of running through the line, so it was a good win.” Originally prepared in New Zealand by Winton trainer Kara Dickson, Wuddzz was purchased privately after winning at Riverton in 2022 for former Otago and Central Districts cricketer Ian Rutherford, who retains an ownership interest. The venerable gelding has now amassed A$323,637 in prizemoney with six wins and a further 12 placings to his credit. By former Mapperley Stud stallion Complacent out of the Danehill mare Princess Uno, Wuddzz is a half-brother to Group Two winner Yearn (NZ) (Savabeel) and was bred by Clyde and Pat Buckingham under their Emblem Ltd banner.

Smart staying mare Jennivamoose (NZ) (Vadamos) recorded her third victory at The Valley when winning the Simpson Construction Handicap (2500m) in similar fashion to her previous victory at the venue. Prepared by Ciaron Maher for Tony and Lynn Ottobre’s Cape Schanck Racing, Jennivamoose was dropped out to near the rear of the field by Harry Coffey and looped the field to narrowly get the better of Muktamil. The daughter of Vadamos has now won five races from 14 starts and will now step up to stakes company. “She’s on skates at the moment this mare, she is running awesome,” stable representative Tom Gerrard said. “Harry has got a great relationship with her and she’s certainly heading places. “That is how she tends to run best, she loves to spot a few leaders, she loves closing and having something to aim at.” The Gr.3 Archer Stakes (2500m) at Flemington on September 13 now looms as the next step for the mare. “We had it penciled in for a few of our runners today. I think Jennivamoose is the pick of them and will potentially be the one to go there,” Gerrard said. Winning rider Harry Coffey said the victory was good especially with the rail out 5 metres. “Even though she didn’t win by a big margin, there is plenty of merit there,” he said. “As she goes up in grade we might not be able to give them as much start as we did today. “When they started to bunch up I knew I would have the best turn of foot, it was just about timing that. Tony (Ottobre) believes that she uses the bend really well here at The Valley, so I utilised that and accelerated off it and she got the job done.” Coffey drew parallels with former stablemate High Emocean (NZ) (Ocean Park), who went on to win a Bendigo Cup and place in a Melbourne Cup. “At the moment she is doing everything right. I think the race that’s coming up that everyone likes to have a go at is The Archer, so we will see how she fits in, but with today’s win she will definitely get in the race,” he said. Purchased as a yearling at Karaka by Ottobre from the draft of Rich Hill Stud for $110,000, Jennivamoose is out of the High Chaparral mare So Ard Bred by Brisbane-based Rick Hill, So Ard is domiciled at Rich Hill Stud near Matamata and the mare is a half-sister to Gr.1 Irish Oaks (2400m) winner Even So and comes from a Group One winning family that features English Derby winner Dr Devious, The Oaks winner Dancing Rain, Guineas winner Saxon Warrior, and Takamatsunomiya Kinen winner Suzuka Phoenix. Jennivamoose is a half-sister to the five-win mare Bozo (NZ) (Satono Aladdin), who finished fourth in the Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m) in her Classic year. View the full article -

Unbeaten mare Elle Sourit (NZ) (Ocean Park) kept her winning record intact with an eye-catching performance to take out the Super Seth 1500 (1500m) at Te Rapa on Saturday. The Andrew Forsman-prepared four-year-old opened her raceday account with a smart effort to win a maiden 1400m event at Hawera back in March before overcoming a tardy beginning to race clear over a similar distance in rating 65 company at Pukekohe a month later. Forsman gave the daughter of Ocean Park a breather before contesting an 1100m trial at Taupo earlier this month to fit her for Saturday’s assignment, where she stepped up to rating 75 grade against some handy older horses in the hands of Joe Doyle. Doyle had her away safely from an inside barrier where she settled nicely in midfield as race favourite Elle McFab set up a leisurely clip out in front. Doyle eased Elle Sourit into a challenging position approaching the home bend, where she began to make her run out in the middle of the track with eventual runner-up Solidify on her inner. Just as Solidify (NZ) (Redwood) looked to have the race won Elle Sourit put in three huge bounds to hit the front in the shadows of the post to claim a long neck victory. Forsman was thrilled to see his charge perform fresh-up as he believes she still has plenty of development in her. “It was a good effort today as they only went steadily in front and she looked to hit a bit of a flat spot halfway down the straight,” Forsman said. “It was a game effort as Joe timed it perfectly and she hit the line well. “Physically there is still not a lot of her as she is taking her fair time to mature but she is a winner and hopefully she can keep doing that.” While Forsman wouldn’t be drawn on the next step along the campaign path for the mare she does hold a nomination for the Gr.1 Livamol Classic (2040m) which will be held at Ellerslie on Saturday 18 October. Elle Sourit is a daughter of the Gr.3 Thompson Handicap (1600m) winner Bel Sorriso (NZ) and hails from an extended family that includes outstanding sayer Smiling Like (NZ), who numbered the Gr.1 Wellington Cup (3200m) and Gr.2 New Zealand Cup (3200m) amongst her seven career wins, while Group One winners Coventina Bay (NZ), Nimue (NZ) and Sirstaci (NZ) also feature.

Consistent galloper Drop of Something (NZ) (Telperion) made full use of a perfectly judged front-running ride from apprentice Sam McNab to triumph in a thrilling four-way finish to the Savabeel 2100 (2100m) at Te Rapa. The nuggety chestnut gelding was having his first run since being narrowly denied victory in the Taumarunui Gold Cup (2200m) at the venue late last month and looked a good chance with McNab’s 4kg apprentice claim reducing his carded weight down to a competitive 56kgs. With no clear pacemaker in the event, McNab took to bull by the horns and crossed to the lead, leaving the straight on the first round to set up his own terms at the head of affairs. On and off the accelerator throughout, McNab shot the Wayne Hillis-trained six-year-old clear by two lengths rounding the home bend and had his rivals under pressure at that stage. Drop of Something clung to a dwindling advantage as Tregor (NZ) (Reliable Man), Pacheco (NZ) (Makfi) and Gigi (NZ) (Ghibellines) all closed rapidly at the 100m and managed to find enough to deny Tregor by a short head, with no more than half a length separating the quartet at the winning post. Hillis was delighted to hear his stable favourite get the judge’s call and add an eighth victory to his career record. “It was a great run although I was a bit worried with him being in front as you have to hold them all off, but he did it so well,” Hillis said. “He has been up a long time with a few little breaks in between although it probably doesn’t look like it. “He is a lovely, quiet horse and I ride all his trackwork so no-one else gets to ride him at home. “There is a race at Ellerslie next month which will suit but there hasn’t really been a lot around for him.” Bred by the late Emma Evans and racing under the Evans Breeding Ltd banner, Drop Of Something is a son of the Don Eduardo mare Nothing Moore (NZ). He has now won eight of his 44 starts, with another 14 placings, including finishing third in the Gr.3 Trentham Stakes (2100m) and has earned over $271,000 in prizemoney. View the full article
