Whose fault is that? Again whose fault is that? From what I've seen the South Island Trainers act like a disorganised rabble driven only by self-interest. Get on the doorstep of @Pitman and Tim Mills and make demands. You'll probably find it isn't so much a conspiracy more like a cock up! -

Agreed - While im critical of GRNZ failure to lead and make changes, leaving alot of the critical changes needed to the past year, to say the industry is harmful to animals is complete lies. Truth is Greyhound racing in NZ is now one of the safest industries for animals in the country. If you wanted to ban Greyhound racing on the basis of it not being safe, where do you draw the line? Ban 1080 for hurting wildlife and possums? Ban rat & mice poison/traps? Ban Cattle because they are all slaughtered? Ban thouroubreds and Harness because they have higher injury rates? Ban the SPCA because they put down 1000s, probably 10s of 1000 of animals per year as do Animal Shelters? Ban Pets as many are harmed daily and alot are abandoned/not managed well? Wouldnt need so many vets if pet owners were more responsible right... The list goes on. You cant use the argument that dogs are a comodity either because so are cattle and dairy cattle too. So are farm dogs. Should we ban farm dogs if animals shouldnt be used to make money... what about bees. They slave away from birth to death making honey for us 🤣 -

Bauhinia. Photo: Bradleyphotos.com.au Lee Curtis is unfazed by Bauhinia’s wide barrier draw as the talented three-year-old filly prepares for Saturday’s $3 million Magic Millions 3YO Guineas (1400m). Although drawn in barrier 20, Bauhinia will shift into barrier 16 of 18 if emergencies fail to secure a start. Curtis remains optimistic about the chances of the fast-finishing filly, who caught attention with her impressive first-up win in the Magic Millions Wyong Stakes (1200m), where she set a new 1200-metre track record of 1:07.67. “She’s been to races four times and pretty much every time she’s come out, or three of them, she’s come out on her ear,” said Curtis, who trains in partnership with his wife Cherie. “You’ve got to assume she’s probably going to do that again, she just comes from impossible positions. “If she drew two and that happens, she’s going to be in the same position, so I’m not worried about it.” Curtis has maintained Bauhinia’s successful preparation strategy, mirroring her Wyong lead-up by giving the filly one trial before the big race. She placed in a Rosehill trial on December 23, showing she is in excellent form. “[Her] trial was really good, she ran an amazing time,” Curtis added. “We’re very happy.” Tommy Berry, who has ridden Bauhinia in all four of her starts, will again take the reins on Saturday. Currently rated a $9.50 chance for the Magic Millions 3YO Guineas with horse betting sites, Bauhinia is among just three runners with single-figure odds, with Snitzanova narrowly leading the market at $5.50 at Neds.

Icarian Dream. Photo: Bradleyphotos.com.au Ciaron Maher remains optimistic about Icarian Dream’s prospects of delivering him a third Magic Millions 2YO Classic (1200m) victory, despite the filly being handed a wide draw in barrier 21 for Saturday’s $3 million feature. The accomplished trainer has already tasted success in the prestigious event with Away Game and Coolangatta, and has had his sights set on another triumph with the $300,000 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale acquisition. Icarian Dream impressed in her last outing with a commanding win in the Group 3 B.J. McLachlan Stakes (1200m) at Eagle Farm. “It’s been the plan for Icarian Dream pretty much her whole career to get her back here, and last start, she was quite dominant,” Maher told Racing Queensland. “It’s not ideal, but barrier draws are often overdone I feel. The main thing is she is well and has done everything right – so I’m happy with her preparation going in.” Maher acknowledged the challenge posed by the wide draw but remained confident in his filly’s readiness. “We’ll have to sit down and nut out the race as to how we think it will unfold. “No doubt it’s going to be more difficult from out there, but she should be spot on and ready to run a big race.” He also highlighted the importance of acclimatisation, a strategy that has worked well for him in the past. “We wanted to get her up here nice and early, as we’ve done in previous years to acclimatise and get her into the swing of things, and so far, so good.” Horse racing news View the full article
