    • It looked a good bet on paper.  Wilson house trying to win the junior premiership so the horses are ready to go. Leaders track and it crossed The Mantis (a fast horse off the gate) when it won at Timaru in a 1:59 mile rate. Sweet Lous go good on grass. Only surprising thing was the price. I thought it would come in not go out.
    • By Mike Love  Elgin trainer David Mitchell joins the party on the coast for the final day of the circuit today.  He takes three sound chances to the Reefton meeting, including Deceptive Lee in the feature, the $25,000 Rosco Contractors Reefton Cup over 2500m. “He seems pretty forward,” said trainer David Mitchell. Deceptive Lee has not raced since winning at Addington in September but has been to the workouts. “His last workout at Methven was good and a bit of form has come out of that.” It will be tough for the seven-year-old son of Captaintreacherous who’s off 20 metres and facing race-hardened horses like Teds Legacy, Westport Cup winner Hacksaw Ridge and second-day winner Smoke On The Water. However, Deceptive Lee has won twice in a fresh state as well as winning once and placing once from three starts on the Reefton track. “The small field negates his handicap a wee bit.” To see the Reefton Cup field click here  Race 3, the M S Moore Contracting Mobile Pace over 2450m, will see debutant Liberty Girl take her place. After qualifying in November she has since been back to the workouts a couple of times with her most recent effort suggesting she would be a strong top three chance. “After she qualified I didn’t think we’d be here but she has progressed a lot and her last workout was promising.” Liberty Girl begins from barrier two today and has shown genuine gate speed and should be able to get across early and secure an economical run. “She may lack a bit of ringcraft but she’s travelled over here well.” Resurgamas lines up in Race 4, the Paul Cutbush Memorial Pace over 2000m. The full brother to Lazarus is yet to win from five starts but is still progressing. “He’s a bit 50/50 in the gait department. If he got away on even terms with them he should be thereabouts.” After missing away from the stand it was a huge recovery to finish as close as he did last time at Oamaru, so manners will need to be present today. “He got home well after making a mess of the start. When it all comes together for him he should win one or two.” Junior driver Gemma Thornley will drive all three runners. Race one gets underway at 12:18pm. View the full article
    • Well done I looked at that horse probably due to the big div it was paying, also Hope's trotter, but didn't end up having a bet unfortunately, nice big fields there, did you have the inside word on willow, didn't have much form to speak of, but a good draw, thought it may have paid a bit more, but nothing wrong with 50s, good work.
    • Been some good horses win at Westport over the years, armalight won her first start there, our mana, won the 10k bonus along with Steven John, Wilbur Win, both locals, The tough nut, pankys pacer, also a few of the Nairn trotters start there careers on the grass track, was certainly good racing over the two days, backed ultimate council both days, certainly honest run from great draws, not so today, samvasa as well, and plenty of not so fast ones in between, took solemn sun today fixed at 150s, must be due to trot after breaking last 5 or so starts, we live in hope.
    • Not the House stable. They get them up at double figure odds quite regularly. Got a good collect off Sweet Willow yesterday at 50-1.  You never see a telfer horse win paying more than $5.00. In fact most of them are sub $2.50.
