I thought this was the best Cup Week for quality horse flesh in many years so Kudos to that. The elephant in the room is the weak Cambridge and Auckland meetings nearing the peak of the season. Actually the Southern meetings have the same vibe. Same old horses going around each week and the fields getting smaller. In contrast the grass tracks are still going strong with full fields of 12 races on Sunday at Banks Peninsula Only way you can fix it is stop the horses leaving the Country, Breed more horses or lower the qualifying times and let more horses race. I am all in favour of doing a bit of all three but mainly lowering the times and letting more race. Also spreading the stakes more evenly across the whole spectrum. Do away with slot races for a start. -

This intrigues me somewhat. Which tracks aren't producing anything and costing more to keep? Are they the ones on the chopping block? Awapuni hasn't produced a race meeting for a while and is costing way more to keep than most tracks in NZ. On that logic Awapuni should be the first to be cashed up. -

8th-CD, $120k, Msw, 2yo, f, 6 1/2f, post time: 4:25 p.m. ET Juddmonte's MARJORAM (Quality Road) is the second foal to race from Cardamon (Pioneerof the Nile), a debut winner over this surface back in 2019 and already responsible for this year's GIII Mahony Stakes hero and similarly cleverly named Spiced Up, also a son of this Lane's End stallion. Cardamon is one of six winners out of Soothing Touch (Touch Gold), also the dam of MGISW Emollient (Empire Maker); SW & GISP Hofburg (Tapit); and SW & GSP Courtier (Pioneerof the Nile). The mare is also responsible for Calm Water (Empire Maker), herself the dam of G1 Dubai World Cup romper Laurel River (Into Mischief) and of Castlewarden (Into Mischief), third in Friday's Listed Dubai Creek Mile at Meydan. Among her rivals are Aunt Sheryl (Authentic), a daughter of 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard Taylor S (Medaglia d'Oro), whose GSW dam Miss Macy Sue (Trippi) also produced sires Liam's Map (Unbridled's Song) and Not This Time (Giant's Causeway); and Never Say No (Gun Runner), a half-sister to GSW & MGISP Spielberg (Union Rags). TJCIS PPs 5th-LRL, $47k, Msw, 2yo, f, 1mT, 1:55 p.m. ET BRAT PACK (Gun Runner) is the second to make the races from her dam Ultra Brat (Uncle Mo), whose four wins from nine appearances on the grass included a 10 1/4-length romp in a soft-turf renewal of the GIII Gallorette Stakes at Pimlico followed by a razor-thin defeat at the hooves of future Eclipse Award winner Sistercharlie (Ire) (Myboycharlie {Ire}) in the GI Diana Stakes at Saratoga. Ultra Brat is a half-sister to Alex G. Campbell homebred It's Tea Time (Dynaformer), winner of the rained-off GIII Lake Placid Stakes in the slop and runner-up in the GI Central Bank Ashland Stakes on synthetic in 2010 and subsequently a stakes producer. TJCIS PPs 6th-AQU, $85k, Msw, 2yo, 6 1/2f, 2:10 p.m. MARBLE HALL (Charlatan), a $425,000 Keeneland September purchase, is a half-brother to five to salute out of Forest Gamble (Forest Wildcat), an open-lengths winner on her only career appearance and later the dam of SWs Blueblood (City Zip) and Gamble's Candy (Twirling Candy). A daughter of SW Gambling Girl (Secret Claim), Forest Gamble is a half-sister to former 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard Gamble's Ghost (Ghostzapper), a five-time scorer at the graded level at Woodbine. TJCIS PPs 9th-DMR, $60k, Msw, 2yo, 6 1/2f, 7:32 p.m. AUTHENTIC PATRIOT (Authentic), purchased for $350,000 at last year's Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale, is a product of the Mike Rutherford program, as the homebred dam Front Range (Giant's Causeway) was placed in the GII Summertime Oaks and is a daughter of his four-time Grade I winner Lakeway (Seattle Slew), herself the dam of SW Sluice (Seeking the Gold) and granddam of GISW Mushka (Empire Maker). Essos (Liam's Map) cost $210,000 at KEESEP last fall and matured into a $475,000 OBS April breezer (video). The gray hails from the family of Mission Impazible and Forest Camp. Wathnan Racing's Blacksmith (Liam's Map) is the one they'll have to beat after registering a field-best 91 Beyer when runner-up to Acknowledgemeplz (Bucchero) while doing some things wrong on Santa Anita debut Oct. 25.

yes,there was some good racing last night,but you have to be kidding if you think nz harness racing is going strong. Every indicator,whether it be mares being bred,licenceholder numbers,public attendance on course ,turnover numbers,the number of small fiields we are seeing,etc,etc. Every single indicator shows nz harness racing is the opposite of going strong. then as to the nz horses performances. Have you ever seen the level, of dominance by the australians over the new zealand horses before? the reason i point this out is because you have done exactly what the powers that be and the media do and want you to do. That is judge nz harness racings state of health ,on the one off nz cup meeting and the likely good crowd numbers (even if they are also in decline from previous years) at some of the country grass track meetings over the next couple of months,as long as the weather is nice,. the positivity that happens over cup week and around xmas ,happens every year. But even those indicators appear to be going in the wrong direction. So we get these,racing is going strong comments every year around this time,then its back to reality and for the remaining 9 months of the year the talk of industry decline continues. so why is it,unrealistic comments about the state of the industry ,are damaging to the industry as a whole. Well,its because,to those in charge such comments justify their poor decision making and perpetuates the poor decision making.
