Is 600 as they say a good crowd ? I actually thought some of the racing presented on trackside yesterday rather average, Otaki was a damp squib,with poor fields Wingatui was okish, Westport is being hampered a little with small fields, Ellerslie was ok. Or maybe getting older it' just don't spin my wheels these days lol. It seems aussie meetings are mostly run of the mill meetings, guess they work on the theory that being holidays the public turnout would be good, and probably is, but the big dates are better away from holiday time when people are more focused, this is the silly season. -

By Jonny Turner The southern harness racing scene could be even more important to Stonewall Stud after the MLT Gore Cup on Saturday (4.24pm). Trainers Steve and Amanda Telfer go into the Gore Christmas Trots meeting as equal record holders for the most wins in a New Zealand harness racing season with Roy and Barry Purdon (1993-94). The Stonewall Stud trainers have two chances to make the record their own and bag their 169th win of the year when Double Jeopardy and Slots start in the MLT Gore Cup. The Telfer team have racked up plenty of wins in Southland this season – including their last three victories as they equalled the long-standing record of the Purdons on Invercargill Cup Day. Punters are backing the stable to make history on Saturday with Double Jeopardy and Slots the first and second favourites for the MLT Gore Cup respectively. With more racing under his belt and plenty of experience in country cups, the Stonewall camp feel the market has it right with Double Jeopardy rated the top pick. “Double Jeopardy is pretty experienced in this grade now and he has the racing under his belt,” the stable’s number one reinsman Tim Williams said. “His run in the Geraldine Cup was good behind The Lazarus Effect, and we have tried to be patient with him since then because this looks like quite a suitable race for him.” Getting a handicap advantage over his main rivals, including his stablemate, looks to be the key to Double Jeopardy’s chances. It’s an advantage the pacer is a good chance of maintaining early in the Gore Cup with his excellent standing start manners. “He is generally pretty safe, not always the fastest, but fingers crossed he can get away nicely on Saturday.” “If he does, I am sure he will go a pretty good race.” While Slots may not have as much standing start experience as his stablemate, there is no doubting the pacer has the game to run a big race in the Gore Cup. Slots missed away in his last standing-start run at the end of his last campaign, but placed in his prior two runs from behind the tapes in handy line-ups. “He’s just had the one trial coming into this and you can’t beat race fitness.” “But he seems well and the team have been happy with him.” “He showed last time that he is up to this kind of company, so I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he went a nice race.” Blair Orange will link up with Slots on Saturday. Williams will also drive Party Up Denario and Stylish Lustre, who both look each-way threats on the Gore card. To see the market for the Gore Cup click here View the full article -

A once great raceday... ‘Glamping’ at the races: taking in on-track action great cure for Christmas excess By John Lewis Parker Hood, 3, of Ashburton, and Honey the dog enjoy some time in the sun together at the Boxing Day Races at Wingatui yesterday. PHOTOS: GERARD O’BRIEN Christmas dinner leftovers, a bit of sunshine and some horse racing — what better way to recover from a festive hangover? Zara Hood came all the way from Ashburton with her family to spend the Christmas break with her extended family in Mosgiel. But rather than just stay at her parents’ house, they all decided to go "glamping" in a holiday bus in the Wingatui Raceway carpark, so they could all go to the Boxing Day Races and still enjoy all the comforts of home. Some of the 600 racegoers who travelled to Wingatui yesterday. "There could be worse ways to recover from Christmas Day," she said. "I didn’t have a hangover — I learned that lesson a long time ago — but there may be one or two people in our family nursing a sore head today. "And I suspect a few more hangovers tomorrow." Joe Gordon, of Mosgiel, and Steph Davids, of Christchurch, work out the form of the horses for the next race. She said the on-track action was a great way to take people’s minds off their bloated bellies and aching heads. In between grazing on Christmas leftovers, she had been ducking back and forth to place bets on the horses. "I’ve learnt a lot off my husband about horse racing," she said. "His parents actually had a few racehorses that they’ve done pretty well with up in Ashburton. Enjoying the action are (from left) Luka Mitchell, 9, cousin Hazelle Verburg, 8, Scott Verburg and Julie McKenzie, all of Mosgiel. "I haven’t had any wins yet but if I do, it will probably go towards a nice midyear holiday. "Anything to contribute to that would be great," she said. The Hood family were among about 600 people who revelled in the action of the last racing event of the year at Wingatui. -
