I used to have a decent go on a good Auckland night with full fields and the pick six a few years ago but it is a complete waste of time these days. FFS - seven races with an average field size of 7.8 So many trainers have left the Auckland area or downsized or given up because of one reason or another and never been replaced by the younger generation. Sign of the times with stakes not keeping pace with inflation. It is just not worth it for the guys with no big owners to keep paying the bills which go up every year. HRNZ are delusional if they think they can bring back the glory days using the plan they are currently going with. Stakes vs expenses coupled with a poor racing product for punters is a downward spiral that will take North Island racing out completely in the next 20 years if not sooner. -

Andrea Atzeni is looking to continue the momentum of last week’s Wednesday treble when he teams up with the likes of hat-trick seeking Amazing Kid, Refusetobeenglish and I Can at Happy Valley seven days on. The Sardinian jockey surged up to 19 winners for the season after the Sha Tin dirt treble and a week later, he has another strong book ahead of him with his sights set on third in the jockeys’ premiership. “It was good to get a treble last week, I did have good rides but as we all know,...View the full article -

By Adam Hamilton Champion horseman Luke McCarthy could hardly contain his excitement after New Zealand Cup winner Kingman drew perfectly in gate one for Saturday night’s $150,000 Group 1 Cranbourne Cup (2555m). It is a huge advantage when he clashes for the first time in the same race with both Leap To Fame and Swayzee. Leap To Fame, who led throughout to beat Kingman into fourth spot in last Saturday night’s Group 2 Ballarat Cup, will start from gate four. Swayzee, winner of two NZ Cups and the reigning Hunter Cup hero, fared worst with the outside draw (gate seven) in a field of just seven. “You beauty. That’s huge. The draws are just so important when you get these great horses together,” McCarthy said. The draw looks especially important to Kingman given it’s his fourth run in as many weeks and his only win in his past three starts came when he drew the pole and led throughout in the Shepparton Cup to beat Leap To Fame. Kingman sat one-one when a lacklustre third to Bulletproof Boy in the Bendigo Cup on January 10. You could cut him slack on that given a hectic travel schedule in extreme heat. But the five-year-old looked all at sea when he hung very badly at times after sitting outside Leap To Fame and tired late for fourth. “He just didn’t handle the tight bends at all at Ballarat,” McCarthy said. Cranbourne has a tricky home bend, but Kingman, like all pacers, will handle it much better against the marker pegs. He looks like a certain leader. What will be fascinating is how Swayzee is driven from the wide draw and whether that creates a rare opportunity for Grant Dixon to drive Leap To Fame with a trail. To have all three superstars in the same race is awesome for Cranbourne and rewards the club for boosting prize money by $50,000 and gaining Group 1 status for its Cup. Between them, the trio has won 110 races and earned almost $8.3 million in prize money. Although this is the first time they have clashed, Kingman holds a 3-1 lead over Leap To Fame in their meetings and Swayzee is 1-1 with Kingman so far. In contrast, Saturday night’s $75,000 Group 1 Cranbourne Trotters’ Cup looks like another easy win for the amazing Keayang Zahara. She should work to the front and post her 23rd win from 24 starts. Victory this week would mean she only has to add the $250,000 Group 1 Great Southern Star at Melton on February 14 to cement the new $500,000 bonus. View the full article
