    • that is pretty good form then. the trotters are always a wonderful sight in their natural gait.  Queensland only recently getting them going nicely. Not As Promised winning last Saturday night in 1.55 MR .  this is too quick for old kiwi's coming across nowadays. MASTERLY , who exactly one year ago was winning at Addington twice in February in 2.00 MR's  ,  for drivers Tomlinson and Harrison looked quite good there , but trotting in QLD has 1 win from 16 starts since last May , and was a poor last on Saturday behind 'Not As Promised'. we're getting quite good here with Trotters which is very exciting for the locals. The Cup week at Chch  double Group 1 winner GUS resumed recently,  in a marathon at Albion and won by lengths, after starting off 40m   North Islander TAYLAD TO USE ,you might not remember as was running 4ths and 5ths in Auckland for years, but was leased to some QLD owners and won our Queensland trotting championship group 2 in November,  so got $30,000 for that for the leading Dixon stable . but since then 12 weeks ago in 8 starts Taylad To Use has been unplaced in 8 starts.   Can't work out what's gone wrong with him for the moment. needs a spell I think.  Another North Islander SOUTHERN DIAMOND from Purdons had good NZ form but only running about 4th all the time here, and I was very disappointed he didn't win last time in the Jim McNeil memorial. Jim being the wonderful man who imported 20 trotters from NZ in the 90's to get trotting races starting in Queensland. a fantastic achievement. maybe 'Southern Diamond' can win today in race 10 in the drivers Challenge races tonight ??? Zachary Butcher has drawn him and won on him in NZ and was 5th in the Sires stakes Final. Zachary the only driver on a familiar horse so should near win it ? seems  a good chance at 5-1 🤔
    • There have been many races where on ability shouldve won but the drives were not the best,  giving the horse the best chance!
    • thanks, back when that camera was manual and you got one chance to 'pan, left the horse Run Into Focus' continuing the pan after the shat has happen! as in cricket Follow through..   lol,   this race was the Captain Cook Stakes,  I had the rent money that day on the nose of CWJ and Rough Habit,  I recall that Modena's prelim was So Nice I popped of and had nice Q bet with RH.  One of those days when it seemed almost easy! ps. the Big Miles that Year at Trentham produced some strong results for The South!  M Pitman winning his first G1, also with CWJ on board Just Tommy!   Modena with D Walsh on board had beaten JT into 2nd in the lead up G1 mile...  I was close friends with both Michael and Chris back then!  
    • That's him, nice picture, I think Paul Falvey may have ridden him the odd time,
    • it says exceptional circumstances. if it was a vet certificate supplied it would have said.(don't give them ideas gammalite as they may get one to cover their arse after the fact).LOL. my guess is dalgety has been told by hrnz to put his horse in,even though hrnz would be aware he had no intention to start. in other words,hrnz and dalgety were all part of a plan to ensure the race was run and they would get paid the higher stake. Thats my guess. Thats the way it works if you observe closely enough. And the stipes have green lighted such behavior. Its actually quite serious .But no one will care because of who it involves.
