    • I agree serve it up to them and do not let them get their own way in front. There were a couple of races tonight where no one made a move until too late. Rush never put in the race in the Nellie Doyle race until too late. Let Blair run a slow time and sprint a 57.7 half in that one.
    • And his drive in the last at Addington tonight was brilliant….horse settled 2nd when leader let Dunn go to lead. Now usually, this would be the end of the story, Dunn would slow the pace down to a walk, sprint home to win while others had no chance… Not tonight, Wilson rushed around to take lead and put pedal down….held on to win by a head, well done.    I do get a bit sick of drivers sitting back letting Orange, Dunn & co dictate, so good to see this race 👍
    • Good horse Scotch Mist, was by balios out of high glow, won a couple of races at avondale back in the day.
    • Yes back in the day quite a few coast trainers, also support from the odd Nelson and marlborough trainer, and of course canterbury, the late Ray Harris always patronized the coast well will large numbers, Brutus, Scotch Mist, Wordly Miss, to name a few better ones, Jim Lalor(Charlies Pal) another who came to the coast, Shorty Healy from Nelson, and of course the Parsons, who still continue to train, as you point out the racing these days totally reliant on the Myers stable, also the Canterbury connection, don't think currently any thoroughbreds trained there, used to be the Kennedys, the Doolans, not sure if the Hamptons have any these days, times certainly have changed even the kumara track, not sure for the better, as the abandonments since the track upgrade have been a few.Westport jockey club ceased racing in 1996, times certainly changed.
