    • On the Oct. 31 episode of BloodHorse at the Breeders' Cup: BloodHorse Monday's Louie Rabaut and Sean Collins, BloodHorse editorial director Frank Angst, and Agentes305's Carlos Morales analyze the fields on Future Stars Friday.View the full article
    • Probably your worst stuff yet Brodster. We have WORLD recognized horsemen of 1 Barry Purdon ,  2 Tony Herlihy (MNZM) , 3 Maurice McKendry, ( MNZM) for decades at not just the Top of the North Island but near best on the planet. TAB is in Dreamland if watching these fine blokes (and their amazing families) race along with the 4 Butcher clan , the 5 Hughes family, the 6 Hacketts family win every week nearly,  and even old 7 Ray Green winning a couple of NZ Cups for the North in recent years , (when the Aussies aren't winning them) 8 Arna Donnelly leads up the lady stables with many fine performances to show the horsewomen are top quality too.  the next five aren't too shabby either. Mr White and Dickie and Balle and Blanchard and Stormont  all capable of getting a winner or three. Probably at the next level down which is about the South Island Mr House level general Metro/country  level and he's your 2nd best winnigest stable there ?  so 10 North stables would be more Group racing level ahead of him then ?    with 9 Stonewall man, 10 Woodlands and 11 Dean Shannon being Not just big owners but Are GIANT ones , winning that many races with Merlin (inc the NZ FFA at Addington and the Velocity and a host of others , also Young 12 Mark Purdon coming home recently too, where he was winning Interdominions for his dad Roy at a young age with Mark Hanover. The Best Stables are indeed in the North .   even your leading South training ones of Dunn's  are keeping a satellite stable there to keep their foot in the door, winning a trot at Alexandra Park tonight even. I think they are near permanent Northerners now. with young Jacob.   so you discrediting them with being weak ?  is just plain embarrassing . For their amazing achievements for decades and the NZ Order of Merit achieved by some of the participants.   So did some of these TWELVE harness names i've mentioned and numbered above,  ring any bells Brodie ? with how good they are ? which ones aren't making the grade in your opinion and are 'Weak' and draining your funds ?  that's just a terrible thing to say mate.

    • It's unlikely that anyone outside of a handful of people remember Rare Rock. Yet he played an important part in as great a success story as Thoroughbred racing has ever seen. View the full article
    • TAB, you do write some fantasy stuff! how many of these big owners? The best stables? Best horsemen/women? You are in dreamland if you believe that! Harness racing in the North is so weak and a total drain on the funds, and it is going to be telling! There is very little interest nowadays, the only reason most go oncourse is for-the dining. I would highly doubt that  many of their meetings get close to making money nowadays? Do you seriously believe that they can get out if the situation they are in?
