It is definitely becoming a complex subject that did not need to be so difficult. Basically NZTR have reacted to pressure rather then long ago putting in strong measures. They have instead continually tweaked the rules and in doing so have allowed pressure groups, loud minorities, to get small victories. With each amendment to the whip rules the activists have gradually put the muppets at NZTR on the back foot. Now all they have left is capitulation unless they (unlikely) have the stomach to stand up and say 'ENOUGH' we run this industry. The last two hundred metres is a nightmare to regulate which is why I am a firm believer in letting the jockeys do what they want and then no whipping from that point, excluding tapping on the shoulder with the both hands always on the reins. To not have the ability to use the whip between the 800m to 200m will lose massive numbers of punters. A lot of horses need to be wound up through that part of the race. Shane Dye referring to Octagonal said it was highly unlikely he would have won the number of G1 races he did , under todays whip rules. -
good hores come an go, but there's some that stay with you. Lol. Did you mean that or is there a typo in there? -
Few others that come to mind from that era, Mr aye bee, miles better and blue denim, all tidy performers of those years,, I do remember clansman trained by the Kerr's from memory, and random chance was was another good horse, the tears fly bye and good hores come an go, but there's some that stay with you. -

What Sandown Lakeside Races Where Sandown Racecourse – 591-659 Princes Hwy, Springvale VIC 3171 When Saturday, January 25, 2025 First Race 12:15pm AEDT Visit Dabble Sandown Racecourse is back in action on Saturday afternoon, where a bumper 10-race card awaits punters on the Lakeside circuit. The Group 3 Manfred Stakes (1200m) headlines proceedings, whilst the Blue Diamond Series gets underway with the juveniles split into two divisions, the boys and the girls for the Blue Diamond Preview’s. The track will be a Good 4 throughout the day, while the rail is set to remain in its true position. The first race is set to jump at 12:15pm AEDT. Race 1: BM70 Handicap (1400m) Porter has seemingly put it all together this campaign, winning two of his last three starts, including a dominant on-pace triumph at Sale on January 9. The four-year-old gelding seemingly does his best work when racing up on speed and having his rivals off the bit a long way out. From barrier 10, Damian Lane will look to cross the field and settle outside the lead, and when asked to quicken, Porter should have no issue fending off his rivals once more. Selections: 8 PORTER 3 EUGENIUS 2 EMPRESSIVE ENUFF 1 HE’S BESET Race 2: BM70 Handicap (1600m) The Liam Howley-trained Steal The Sun has not received the best of luck at her last two starts, but if she finds clear air at the right stage on Saturday, she is worth siding with. The five-year-old mare missed the kick last time out and was held up for a run at a crucial point before hitting the line strongly over 1700m at Flemington. If Ethan Brown can get her out of the gates a bit cleaner, Steal The Sun has an impressive turn of foot and will be fighting out the finish. Selections: 11 STEAL THE SUN 7 REVELARE 1 SIR ATLAS 3 REAL SENSATION Race 3: Listed Blue Diamond Preview (C&G) (1000m) Shining Smile is the only juvenile colt or gelding in the Listed Blue Diamond Preview and it looks set to pay dividends if he brings what he produced in his initial campaign. The Ben, Will & JD Hayes-trained colt has already been twice-placed in Stakes company and before heading to the paddock, was a smart maiden winner on the Caulfield Heath circuit. Daniel Stackhouse will ensure the son of Spirit Of Boom gains the run of the race from barrier two, and barring any bad luck, Shining Smile should be winning. Selections: 1 SHINING SMILE 3 MENSHEVIK 5 REDDERS 4 OLATUNDE Blue Diamond Preview (C&G) Race 3 – #1 Shining Smile (2) 2yo Colt | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Daniel Stackhouse (56kg) +120 with Dabble Race 4: Group 3 Blue Diamond Preview (F) (1000m) Debut wins as a two-year-old do not come anymore impressive than what Miss Celine prouduced in the Listed Debutant Stakes (1000m) during the spring. The Magnus filly was last on the Caulfield home turn and still had four lengths to make up on her rivals with 200m to go before producing a stunning finish to win by a length. She has to give most of her rivals 2kg on return from a spell, but with a genuinely run affair, Miss Celine has shown enough already that says she will be able to run down her rivals in the Group 3 Blue Diamond Preview (F). Selections: 1 MISS CELINE 2 PALM ANGEL 5 PRICE TAG 4 WILTSHIRE SQUARE Blue Diamond Preview (F) Race 4 – #1 Miss Celine (3) 2yo Filly | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Mark Zahra (58kg) +750 with Bet365 Race 5: Listed W.J. Adams Stakes (1000m) Fickle has four wins and two seconds to her name through six runs this campaign, and if the Tom Dabernig-trained mare holds her form, she should be winning once again. The four-year-old mare looks to run her rivals off their feet, and from barrier two under Jamie Melham, she should get the lead with relative ease upon settling. As long as she is not pressured relentlessly throughout, Fickle should prove too slick and justify her favouritism with horse racing betting sites. Selections: 6 FICKLE 4 PONDALOWIE 2 MRS CHRISSIE 3 PHILOSOPHER Best Bet Race 5 – #6 Fickle (2) 4yo Mare | T: Tom Dabernig | J: Jamie Melham (54kg) +150 with Neds Race 6: BM78 Handicap (2100m) Inevitable Award was a gritty Flemington winner on January 1 and looks poised to go on with the job on Saturday. The four-year-old gelding was forced to travel three wide with no cover on that day, and despite covering plenty of ground, had the audacity to hit the line strongly over 1800m. Based on that last run, as long as Daniel Moor can find cover from barrier 10, the 2100m should prove to be no issue, as Inevitable Award looks to ground down his rivals. Selections: 10 INEVITABLE AWARD 1 SAMUEL LANGHORNE 11 THEDOCTOROFLOVE 3 MISS TARZY Race 7: BM84 Handicap (1600m) There is little doubt that Le Zebra should have won first-up at Flemington on January 11, but gets his chance to right those wrongs in the quaddie opener. The four-year-old gelding was badly held up for a run for the majority of the home straight, and once the gap arrived inside, the final furlong stormed home to be beaten a half-length, while the quinella had all of the momentum down the outside. From barrier 10, Jamie Melham should have no issue finding clear air at the right time, and once Le Zebra quickens, it should be enough to put his rivals away. Selections: 5 LE ZEBRA 6 FARHH FLUNG 4 SMOKIN’ PRINCESS 9 ASPEN COLORADO Next Best Race 7 – #5 Le Zebra (10) 4yo Gelding | T: Emma-Lee & David Browne | J: Jamie Melham (56.5kg) +190 with BlondeBet Race 8: Listed John Dillon Stakes (1400m) Aztec Ruler was not given much hope in the Group 3 Standish Handicap (1200m), but the way the son of Universal Ruler hit the line suggests he is a force to reckon with on Saturday. Having run It’sourtime to within a head down the straight, the run was even better considering it was his first look at the “Flemington Six”. Back around a corner and up to 1400m – a trip he has won five of 11 starts at – should see Aztec Ruler go one better in the Listed John Dillon Stakes. Selections: 2 AZTEC RULER 4 CHORLTON LANE 1 JUST FOLK 5 BUFFALO RIVER John Dillon Stakes Race 8 – #2 Aztec Ruler (5) 5yo Gelding | T: Stefan Vahala | J: Jye McNeil (56kg) +190 with Picklebet Race 9: Group 3 Manfred Stakes (1200m) Saturday’s feature, the Manfred Stakes, has attracted an even bunch of three-year-olds, but if Ndola brings his best first-up from a four-month spell, he is worth a flutter at $6 with Boombet. Lindsay Park Racing had Group 1 aspirations with the son of Justify during the spring, so he clearly has plenty of class, which was evident in his win before heading for a spell. On the Hillside track at Sandown, the colt produced a strong turn of foot to win in impressive style and a repeat effort should be enough to see Ndola secure Group 3 success. Selections: 5 NDOLA 2 ODINSON 7 ROYAL INSIGNIA 6 WONDER BOY Manfred Stakes Race 9 – #5 Ndola (3) 3yo Colt | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Luke Currie (57kg) +500 with Boombet Race 10: BM74 Handicap (1200m) New York Lustre is a mare going places and is looking to add a fourth win in successions and a third win from as many starts this campaign. The Enver Jusufovic-trained mare is a natural front-runner and has shown a tendency to settle outside the lead and kick clear when asked to. From barrier 12, the plans should be simply for Jamie Melham once again, and as long as the Manhattan Rain mare does not get caught wide, New York Lustre should send favourite punters home happy. Selections: 13 NEW YORK LUSTRE 8 SUNSHINEINMYPOCKET 3 CARBONADOS 1 HOLY RACKET Saturday quaddie tips for Sandown Sandown quadrella selections January 25, 2025 4-5-6 2-4 1-2-5-6-7 1-3-8-13 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article -

What Sunshine Coast Cup Day 2025 Where Sunshine Coast Turf Club – 170 Pierce Ave, Caloundra QLD 4551 When Saturday, January 25, 2025 First Race 12:13pm AEST Visit Dabble The Listed Sunshine Coast Cup will headline the 10-race meeting at the Sunshine Coast Turf Club this Saturday afternoon. The track was rated as a Soft 5 at the time of acceptances; however, with warm weather forecast in the lead-up, expect a perfect Good 4 surface throughout the day. The rail will be in its true position for the entire circuit, with the opening race scheduled to jump at 12:13pm AEST. Sunshine Coast Cup tip: Grand Impact Grand Impact broke a two-year winless run at Wyong last start when he led a strong field every step of the way before running away with a strong victory. The Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr-trained gelding took care of a much better field than what he will face in this race, and if he produces a similar performance, Grand Impact will bring up back-to-back wins. Sunshine Coast Cup Race 8 – #11 Grand Impact (13) 5yo Gelding | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr | J: Ryan Maloney (56.5kg) +500 with Neds Best Bet at Sunshine Coast: Termagant Termagant was sent out as the race favourite with horse racing bookmakers first up at Eagle Farm but had to settle for second place behind Flag Hall after racing erratically in the home straight. The Matthew Hoysted-trained mare still recorded the fastest last 600m section of the race and will have taken good fitness benefit from the run. With an undefeated second-up record (2:2-0-0), expect a better performance from Termegant in this contest. Best Bet Race 6 – #14 Termagant (11) 4yo Mare | T: Matthew Hoysted | J: Nikita Beriman (54kg) +250 with Bet365 Next Best at Sunshine Coast: Streak Of Winning The aptly named Streak Of Winning brought up his second straight victory to kick off his career at this track over 1200m, maintaining his undefeated record at his home track. The Stuart Kendrick-trained gelding is lightly raced but has shown great ability to race on speed and sprint off a good tempo in the final 400m. Although he has to jump from barrier 12 on Saturday, Kyle Wilson-Taylor will push forward, find the lead with Streak Of Winning, and if he gives his customary kick at the 400m mark, he will prove hard to run down late. Next Best Race 7 – #12 Streak Of Winning (5) 4yo Gelding | T: Stuart Kendrick | J: Kyle Wilson-Taylor (57.5kg) +600 with Picklebet Best Value at Sunshine Coast: Vienna Who Following an impressive finish over 1200m at Eagle Farm last start, Vienna Who will attempt 1400m for the first time in her career. The Darren Bell-prepared filly settled worse than midfield and was slightly held up turning for home; however, once she got into clear air, the daughter of Solo Flyer let down strongly. In a smaller field compared to her previous run, expect Vienna Who to settle closer to the speed and receive a better run in transit. Best Value Race 5 – #8 Vienna Who (7) 3yo Filly | T: Darren Bell | J: Angela Jones (54.5kg) +900 with Dabble Saturday’s quaddie tips for Sunshine Coast Cup Day Sunshine Coast quadrella selections Saturday, January 25, 2025 1-8-10-12 2-6-12-13 6-7-12-13 6-13-19-21 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article
