    • Spring on Jenni's agenda? www.racing.com Owner Tony Ottobre has hinted star mare Pride Of Jenni is likely to continue her racing career in the spring and will stick to races over a mile. The seven-year-old was last seen in the Doomben Cup (G1, 2000m) where she finished towards the back of the field, but Ottobre says he was still delighted with the front runner’s campaign and says there is no reason why she shouldn't keep racing. “She’s got a 50 per cent winning strike rate from her last prep, why would you retire her?” Ottobre said on SENTrack. “You only retire a horse when they’ve had enough or they don’t want to run anymore. “We’re in it for racing, we’re not in it for anything else other than racing and also making sure the horse is fine.” WATCH: Jack Turnbull chats about Pride Of Jenni and Sternbo Idolay Pride Of Jenni will shortly commence her float trip back to Ottobre’s farm from where a decision on what happens next will be made. “Once we get her here we’ll assess where she’s at and how she’s going and go from there,” he said. “At the moment her future is fine and rosy, her campaign was two wins from four starts. “I think she’s still fantastic… I know she’s really good at 1600m.” Ottobre said Pride Of Jenni would likely only have two or three runs in a spring campaign of which the mile would be her most likely trip.  “If you’re going to something like the King Charles, she has to be in great order and she has to be in a mood to want to race, if she’s that way… at this stage nothing’s off the deck, nothing at all,” he said.
    • Gee Thomas....two recent posts and you make a lot of sense , the other re JKR view of Wanganui track. Yet your posts seem to contradict the boss.....the guru of free speech ! Tread softly ,these pages don't want to see you banned !
    • There may be a bit of water to go under the bridge on this topic.  I just have a feeling the ban could potentially be overturned by the courts.  Just my thoughts with no inside information admittedly. 
    • yeah , but you have a brain. (for the sport) and can follow the form in races that meet your selection criteria.  I think most BOAY posters are the few around that can turn a profit from Harness racing as they follow the sport closely. But only 10% of investors win race gambling on any given day. BOAY characters likely to be in the 10% as have a intricate knowledge of the sport. The 90 % are losers and the ones that Entain and ALL betting companies enjoy to look after  😁💰  but when you walk into a pub or club occasionally (i'm sure NZ close to same as Aus)  you will see the crazy people transfixed and hypnotised by bells and whistles and flashing lights pumping megabucks through Pokies, and the TAB area is nearly abandoned. I find this in most towns pubs and clubs I have seen. The Crazies don't study horse form , and their numbers are large too, no way will they waste 'time'  betting on harness 😂. Good money for the Government though in gambling taxes. Hope they do something good with it , but probably recycling to the same pensioners fortnightly,  to put in the machines again 🤣😂 a vicious cycle.
