    • A good post Chief. I'm thinking Messara may have engaged with you before he wrote his report and made the impression /changes that many had been talking about since 1965 or earlier . I see you obviously respect Doomed as one of your tight five and you been very polite to him, as not to offend. Had some of us started referring to York and UK racing to support Wingman putting them on a pedestal you would have moved in quickly with a sharp tongue and even more of a geography lesson than you provided. When one considers the UK has some 69 million people , England has 59 million of those .......you didn't have to be a genius to suggest to Messara that NZ had far too many tracks ,especially as most had poor to very poor infrastructure and there wasn't even ONE with a good racing surface !  
    • GREAT ! You should feel real good about the Kiwis successes in Australia , so please keep highlighting them. Two weeks ago I looked at the results of Kiwis at the bigger and main tracks and they were outstanding. From memory James Mac won 4 in the day and Jason Collet won two.  On the jockey front Corey Parish , Ryan Hurdle , D Stackhouse all won while the Collet girls , Mick Dee , and the apprentices JKennedy , L Bates etc have all been prominent of late. In the training , Waller ,Baker were cleaning up while MMoroney[RIP] Busutinn/Young kept the Kiwi flag flying and our NZ Breds were doing well too. Last Saturday featured many of the above again !
    • The junior drivers premiership is an interesting contest. The tab has wilson hose as the favorite at $2.10 from carter dalgety at $2.40. harrison orange is at $8. Sam thornley is at $4.50. Last month i had thought harrison orange was a good chance of winning,but he  doesn't get the same opportunities numbers wise,so in reality its hard to see him winning the title. I think he may be employed by the purdon/phelan training partnership,but they only give him 1 drive a week if hes lucky. I suppose you can understand that as z butcher and c hackett have done the hard yards working for that stable and drive very well,but nevertheless i'm surprised the purdon/phelan stable hasn't taken better advantage of the half penalty wins for their owners while orange is still eligible for them.  Actually i think the telfer stable in the North island  would win a lot more races if they had h orange driving for them as there number 1 drivera,but i doubt that will happen as they too seem loyal,which i can understand on one hand,but i can't on the other.J dickie is a good driver and i think he may have driven 5 winners in a night not that long ago,but personally i'm not his biggest fan. That stable also has a harrison who is quite capable and the lady from russia started off well,but just seems to lack confidence to show any aggression,so isn't going too good recently. so as far as the junior title goes,i really can't see C dalgety getting beaten and i'm surprised hes still paying $2.40. The trainers title is interesting. M house seems to be on a mission to win that this year.The season is only 2 1/2 months old and already house has 39 wins,which when you comapre it with his 65 wins in the whole of last year,shows he is going to be tough to catch. Hes been having a lot of new horses come into his stable recently and hes doing well as always. personally i would like to see him win as i think he contributes the most to the sport in nz. Interestingly the tab still has the dunns as the favorites.House is currently 25 wins in front of them. I know the dunn stable has stables in both islands,so maybe they will catch up. One thing i have noticed in the last 3 weeks is the improvement in the form of their higher grade horses. The likes of Double time,dalton shard,dancetilldawn,bryces medel all have turned there form around in the last couple of starts so maybe they are going to get on a roll. There lower grade horses have been ticking away without those signs of improvement recently,so maybe they will have a pick up in form as well.They have malakai as a hot favorite in the first tommorrow night. I had thought he may be worth a $ and expected a price around $4,but the $2 price hes currently paying seems like one of those bets where the return doesn't warrant the risk.Maybe the whales tipped him?
    • That's an Aussie Kheir one as well I see in the famous colours he shares with John O'Neill. Exhuberance so good to see Mark Walker getting some ''outside drives' 😆 away from big Dave and co in the tangarine .  He is really gunna make a name for himself with owners like those. ( they have won Cox plates, Blue Diamonds , etc)  
    • Your best post......apologise and move on ! As stated earlier the rules of Syndicates are clear and upfront.....many folk take a maximum of 10% with the majority between 1% and 5%. If you want to have control over the management of a horse buy 51% or more.....many syndicates have 40 to 70 shareholders and now there are horses with hundreds of Owners .
