They have more than their share of two-year races. November 9, December 10 race scheduled was abandoned due to insufficient entries, January 2 and February 6. Surely when you have a massive crowd you want as bigger fields as possible to maximise betting turnover. Thay get the holiday dates because they have shown that they can get the crowds. Several Clubs have tried Waitangi Day and all have failed except Tauherenikau. -

Holding on to a one-win lead over David Hayes in the trainers’ championship, Mark Newnham is confident he can add to his advantage when the in-form Max Que and Power Koepp spearhead his team of six at Happy Valley on Wednesday night. Newnham’s stellar campaign has seen him head the standings for most of the first half of the season, trading blows with Fownes for the lead several times while Hayes’ recent surge has also put him right into contention. After striking with impressive three-year-old...View the full article -
hadn't realised you had answered that already gamma before i posted. that captain hammerhead race was a really great contest last year. the draws for this years hunter cup will be a major factor i think. amazing grimson has been able to get swayzee to be going so good again. the recent nz horses he has got,rakero rocket and captains mistress,were both very good but have improved since grimson got them. Obviously he makes previous trainers look like amateurs the way he gets them to run.. my wife said she thought they said on box seat pinseeker may head over there for a bit. if they gave him to grimson that would be another horse that could beat leap to fame at menagle over a mile. -
No. I've said that repeatedly. It's another autocratic attempt by NZTR to shut down criticism instead of listening and engaging and responding. There are heaps of wonderful hard working people doing a fantastic job at NZTR just as there are at the coalface of racing. This stuff just undermines their efforts. Can't re-litigate the Morton case here. I doubt NZTR will test that precedent. As I said that would be bloody stupid. They wisely chose not to appeal at the time. -

Doctor Askar (NZ) (Derryn) is having a few days of R and R in the paddock following a float incident on Saturday that resulted in his late scratching from the Gr.1 Herbie Dyke Stakes (2000m) at Te Rapa. The Waverley gelding looked a strong contender in the $700,000 feature following his last start heroics in the Gr.2 Thorndon Mile (1600m), and trainer Joanne Moss was excited to head north to give her charge his first tilt at elite-level. However, it wasn’t to be, with Doctor Askar becoming fractious in the float enroute to Hamilton and following a veterinary inspection oncourse he was withdrawn from the contest. “There were all those road works and we came around a corner, and he has scrambled. When he got off (the float) he was sore and that is why I got him vetted,” Moss said. “We got him home and I will give him a couple of days and see how it all goes. I will let him chill out because he has had 10 hours on the truck. “At the moment he is wandering around the paddock, is eating and he is happy as. He is just a little bit stiff and a little bit sore.” Moss felt it was the opportune time to step her charge up over ground and in Group One company, and while disappointed to be denied that chance over the weekend, she is choosing to take a positive outlook, believing there are plenty of opportunities ahead for the five-year-old. “It was just the right time to do it but never mind, you have just got to take the good with the bad,” she said. “You have got to look on the bright side, we have still got a horse. “He is still learning, I don’t think he still really knows what he is doing. He just gives me that impression, he is still playing around a bit too much.” All going to plan, and Doctor Askar makes pleasing progress, he may get another opportunity at elite-level in next month’s Gr.1 Bonecrusher New Zealand Stakes (2000m) at Ellerslie on Champions Day. “If he looks good to go, I would look at the Bonecrusher, but I am not going to push him,” Moss said. Doctor Askar, a homebred son of Derryn, has won seven of his 21 starts to date, including the Thorndon Mile, Gr.3 Easter Handicap (1600m) and Listed Flying Handicap (1400m), and he has earned $586,000 in prizemoney.
