Motor Sport

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.

Went a good race for 5th in the Rowe Cup last year beating home Oscar Bonavena, Mighty Logan, Not As Promised and Midnight Dash. It has also trotted a half in 55 at Addington so based on that it was a shoe in last night.
