    • The House is on Fire ! Horses run well for Wilson..... Meanwhile Dad moans and groans but he works the system and gets a lot of his horses into winnable races !
    • Well folks.....I'm all set for the big night...should be a cracker. Good fields , some good value there with wide draws etc and I do think Orchestral not in best form ...time will tell. Craig Williams ,Blake Shinn and a few Aussie Horses should add to the puzzle. The Admission fee seems steep but ....worth it ...yes ! Its a Grand Tour Event so there will be a band and music etc and decent afterparty.I heard it will be The Eagles ! In the shortened time frame the food options will be adequate.....contrary to some gossip the Hot Chips @ $7 are good value ! Tomato sauce free. As is the Shoeshine ! And any rowdy youngsters are locked away in their own party room , while BGP with 850 attending are upstairs in public stand. BGP pool is building and 500 participants will get Bonus bet  from TAB. By far and away the best days racing in NZ , should be great ! See you there !
    • Yes , I thought all Cowans were Aka !! I have no race records at all , but I remember Show Gates brother well....Show Keeper a gelding. There were a couple others who showed promise as Colts but went amiss. Going Some and Troilus ! Show Keeper won once at 3 and with bad form started fresh  at 4 over 2000m at Gore , possibly ridden by Steven Crutchley and it won paying $45 ! The next season he looked really good and was working the house down ...Gordon used the stop watch on all fast work and declared tho he was resuming in the 2200m Ashburton Cup he really should be in the Open 1200m such was his times ! He duly led all the way and won by 5 lengths fresh up at 2200m ! Gordon always looked out for good young jockeys and he nailed Brent Thompson for the  1975 NZ Cup but he got stuck on the rails for an unlucky 5th , the Cup being won by Heidseck. Maybe you remember Show Keeper.
    • However if she indeed has not come up as a 4yo she creates great value for another horse. The obvious one is Bourbon Princess $4 2nd fav but based on 3yo form last year there is a longer priced horse that will pay more for a place than either of the two favs are paying for a win.
    • almost word for word with a chat I had with a punting partner today, if i was to be having a bet, there might be some nice odds for a show bet!  (as in a 1/2 finish). I bet keen to see if O has improved in appearance! she was slightly underwhelming last time, other times she has present Large
