Meeting News NZB Kiwi Conditions and Indicative Weights NZB Kiwi Conditions and Indicative weights New Zealand’s richest race the NZB Kiwi is now only two weeks away and forms an integral part of the Champions Raceday programme. For clarity, the race is run under 3yo Set Weights and Penalties conditions. The base weights are – 57.0kgs Colts/geldings and 55.0kgs Fillies Penalties (not cumulative): Group 1 winner – 3.0kgs Group 2 winner – 2.0kgs Group 3 winner, or winner of 3 or more races – 1.5kgs Listed winner, or winner of 2 races – 1.0kg Maiden allowance of -1.0kg Indicative weights, as at Friday 20 February: Well Written (S) 58.0 92 La Dorada (S) 58.0 82 Lollapalooza (S) 56.5 82 Romanoff (S) 60.0 81 He Who Dares (S) 57.0 80 War Princess 56.5 79 Affirmative Action (S) 58.0 78 Belle Cheval (S) 56.5 78 Asakura (S) 58.0 75 To Bravery Born 58.5 74 Bulgari 57.0 71 Landlock 57.0 70 Fairy Dream 56.5 70 Argo 58.0 69 Zivou 58.0 68 L'Aigle Noir 57.0 67 Tale Of the Gipsy 56.0 67 Panther 57.0 64 Battle Tycoon 57.0 63 Convinced 55.0 63 O'Sweet Darling 55.0 63 Unbeaten filly Well Written obviously dominates headlines, markets and discussion ahead of the race. Her performances have been given deserved credit in preliminary international ratings. She has been assigned an international rating of 115 for her TAB Karaka Million 3yo display. This would be the highest 3yo rating in recent memory (when factoring in 4-point fillies’ allowance). The challenge though for the Pattern race ratings is for the opposition to keep with Well Written, with the race rating being based on the first 4 placings. Her dominance places a ceiling on the ratings for placegetters. For example, in her most recent win by 6.05L, He Who Dares (2nd) cannot be higher than 106 – 2.1points/L at 1600m (-12.7), plus 4 points for 2kgs extra carried. On the positive side Well Written’s 115 season peak rating will be applied to the race rating of any race she has contested this season. -

Looking at the weather, could be challenging wind and rain the the lead! tough putting up all the Tents? Showers on the Day. Any chance that Opie could be riding? a G3 and two L black type races. plus a $200k Final. -

Superstar jockey Joao Moreira will return to Hong Kong for the final three months of the season as the retained stable rider for Caspar Fownes. The Jockey Club on Monday approved Fownes’ application to retain Moreira, a four-time Hong Kong champion rider, from April 7 until the end of the campaign on July 15. Fownes currently leads the race for the championship on 36 wins and hopes Moreira’s return will boost his bid for a fifth trainers’ title. “Who wouldn’t be happy with a superstar like him...View the full article -
Plenty of excitement still for the grass roots participants. As far as I can see , NZ is still running meetings every Sunday , and the Manawatu Club are still racing , Southland seem to have plenty of meetings.?? Is hard to follow them all with there being so many. Indeed The Galah commented on the extra money that was put in to Southland last season , and Mikey thinks there is too many meetings already midweek (at Waikato and places lie that) . so how is that HRNZ Not looking after the grass roots pressure you strive for ? overdoing it according to these blokes ? In fact your Metro Friday clubs run MAIDEN races at most meetings ? never did that much in the past . But it does give, your so-called 'poor trainers' that train bugger All winners can have a go in the city at that even if they want too. Won't get anything against Telfers, Purdons , Green, Kentuckiana and that though. so better to stay in own class. So I say it's better to have REGULAR (52 weeks a year) midweek meet at Cambridge (and/or Southland) that would Encourage the small players (with a smaller team of horses) to make a living , and regularly participate. Just like Queensland and Victoria and NSW do quite successfully. there's a race for every horse , every week available. that's Important HRNZ are getting close to achieving it as well. so are doing the best they can with the amount of participants left running. Good Luck to em ' 🏆 YES = racing horse numbers have dropped everywhere. Because the Costs are very high to run a horse these days , so if you're NOT making a living out of it , and it was just a hobby, might as well do something else these days . like me and Brodie and Galah and Chief . Go and play golf or something 😁 . or get a small Te Akau share in a horse lol . they are still popular 😂😂
