    • So you've had your wings clipped elsewhere AGAIN.  I'm sure you can find somewhere else to post your dribble.
    • Why don't you ask your friends on NZ's Premier Anti-Racing Forum why they didn't question Opies ride on @nomates horse at Cambridge last week? Seems to be horses for courses this selective harassment of Jockeys.
    • A dominant victory by Lucky Magic (NZ) (Mendelssohn) in the RM300,000 Selangor Gold Cup (1600m) on Sunday was the fourth consecutive win in the race for graduates of New Zealand Bloodstock’s Ready to Run Sale. Lucky Magic was a $35,000 purchase from Book 1 of Karaka 2022, then was secured by trainer HY Cheng for $75,000 from the Ready to Run Sale. He has followed in the recent Selangor Gold Cup-winning footsteps of fellow Ready to Run graduates Black Thorn (NZ) (Redwood), Pasir Pinji (NZ) (Nadeem) and Antipodean (NZ) (Derryn). Previously the winner of the RM 1m Selangor Mile (1600m), Perak Derby (2000m) and the Penang Gold Cup (2000m), Lucky Magic has now had 14 starts for nine wins, two placings and over RM900,000 (NZ$359,233) in prize-money. Lucky Magic produced an impressive performance in an incident-packed running of the Selangor Gold Cup on Sunday. He was badly checked during a mid-race incident that saw three jockeys dislodged. But Andre Da Silva let Lucky Magic rip in the straight and he came with big bounds down the outside, dashing to the lead and drawing away to win by three and a quarter lengths. “Lucky Magic is a superstar,” said trainer HY Cheng. “He lost his momentum when Da Silva had to take evasive action and raced wide thereafter, but he still came home strongly like he always does. “He will run next in the Sports Toto Challenge Cup (1400m) next month, then the Piala Emas Sultan Selangor (2000m) in December. “We plan to run him overseas after that, but nothing is confirmed for now.” The 2025 edition of the Ready to Run Sale will take place at the Karaka Sales Centre from 10am (NZT) on Wednesday 12 & Thursday 13 November, with Breeze Ups to be held at Te Rapa Racecourse on Monday 13 & Tuesday 14 October.

    • So 2 flank whip warnings on the weekend and perhaps they've seen the video nasties I've sent directly to them?? However Bosson is OUTTA CONTROL with constant whip strikes over the head when punching out with the whip in the forehand position  Nothing shits a horse more than being whipped over the ears, poll, eye... as usual the stipes are blind to these top jockeys and instead make an example of a lower caste member a few weeks back when doing EXACTLY the same thing  
    • What a talent this apprentice is Intelligent on and off the horse...interviews brilliantly with incisive comments beyond her years However over the years talented apprentices also tend to have brain explosions...their want of success is that great Hayley appears to be no exception As per normal every winter she failed to ride her mount out to the finish midweek...stipes wiping her out for a month Saturday to Riccarton and desperate to win before the month holiday she strikes her mount REVERBERATIONS 11 times before the hundy where 5 is the limit Should've been DQ'd but our weak as f rules not only allowed to keep her 3rd place fee but also the owners their 4k Got 5 more days In the meantime fellow talented App Elen Nicholas is on fire after a dreadful injury run Such is the life of a jockey
