Bit of a reality check today at Ellerslie for NZ racing A journeyman, open class Aussie stayer deals to our best G1 horses Another journeyman horse given no chance runs second in one of our championship finals at $18.60, beaten by yet another journeyman horse 5 horses in a $90K race A lot of other very ordinary horses running around. Other than Well Written the quality of our 3 year olds is poor The rain, obviously that can't be controlled, but it still looked like a place you would not want to be on Boxing Day I could only see one highlight on the day, and that was Well Written and as Yulong own half, after the NZB Kiwi, all future racing will be in Aus -
PS @Chief Stipe comments like yours show you are naive of the workings of the industry in NZ & you shouldn't comment. You obviously have no clue how poorly the industry in this country is run. Absolutely delusional! -

Promising filly Bobby Mcgee showed she will be a force to be reckoned with against her age-group rivals over the next few months when she bounded home to take out her first victory at stakes level in the Listed NZB Airfreight Stakes (1400m) at Wingatui. The Terry Kennedy-prepared daughter of White Robe Lodge stallion Ancient Spirit had broken her maiden status on her home track two starts ago and followed that up with a tidy run for fifth against the three-year-olds at Invercargill a fortnight ago. Despite that form, she was overlooked in the betting for the Boxing Day feature event on her home track, starting at the generous odds of $18 in the Fixed Odds market dominated by Miss Starlight ($2.50) and Cool Aza Rene ($3.40). The two favourites looked as though they would fulfil those predictions as they set down to fight out the finish after separating themselves from the rest of the field with 150m to run. However, no one had told Bobby Mcgee and rider Rohan Mudhoo who had bided their time in midfield before angling to the middle of the track rounding the home bend. Just as Miss Starlight looked to have beaten off Cool Aza Rene, Boby Mcgee appeared on her outer and with several enormous bounds cruised past to win going away by just on a neck at the post. Kennedy had been confident of a good performance despite the class of the opposition. “She is a really nice filly and her work since the run at Invercargill has been top class,” Kennedy said. “She didn’t have a lot of luck that day and back to her home track gave us confidence she could compete today. “She is a beautiful, big filly who will only get better as she matures and I think the way she finished off today she will get up to 2000m without much fuss.” Kennedy will follow the traditional three-year-old path with the filly but isn’t prepared to overtax her this preparation. “She probably has three more runs left in her before we put her aside for a break,” he said. “She can chase the three-year-old series and I think her last run is likely to be in the Dunedin Guineas (Listed, 1600m) here in late February.” Bred and raced by Craig and Jim Hunter, Bobby Mcgee’s dam is the six-time winner Lucille, who recently produced a full sister to Bobby Mcgee. – View the full article -

A brilliant front-running ride from Joe Doyle saw gritty filly Tellum upset the applecart as she downed the favourites in the Gr.2 Hallmark Stud Eight Carat Classic (1600m) at Ellerslie on Boxing Day. The Debbie Sweeney-prepared three-year-old had been thereabouts in her recent racing and with no other runners prepared to set up the pace, it was Doyle and the daughter of Ocean Park who seized the initiative and dictated proceedings. It was obvious that the filly was travelling well on the home corner and when she sneaked away with 300m to run, the members of the Flying Mullet syndicate who own her, began to make their presence felt as the volume levels increased exponentially on-course. Tellum never looked like being caught as she held out the strong late runs of race favourite Lollapalooza, Fleeting Star and Fairy Dream to claim her third career victory and first at stakes level. Sweeney was all smiles after the race and praised her nearly 50-strong ownership group for their support of her and the horse. “This is extra special as she is a tough filly who has shown a lot the whole way through,” Sweeney said. “It is a great team of owners, 47 or 49 of them, and I’m so thankful to them. There are a lot of characters in there and when she won at Te Aroha they were all in the pub at Papamoa and having an absolute blast. “I did say to Joe that she does like to be on pace and I couldn’t believe how easily she was travelling. “I thought we were a massive chance then and I’m just rapt with her. “We will now carry on with her three-year-old campaign after we see how she pulls up” Bred by Waikato Stud, Tellum is out of the Fastnet Rock mare Early Morning Rise, who is a daughter of class racemare Kay’s Awake who was placed on four separate occasions at Group One level. She has now won three of her seven starts and more than $180,000 in prizemoney. View the full article
