sadly so.. talking lack of security etc, growing up in Waltham Chch in the early 60's, a couple of 100m down the road from our house was a fella (cant recall his name) who had a small stable with a few harness horses in it, he would get in a sulky, with a couple of other horses in tow, he was taking them the 4 ks around the back streets to Addington for fast work! including crossing to cross the busy Lincoln Road. I recall, how often we would get on our bikes and have mock races with him! There would be a couple of streets where we would be going as fast as we could!!! Giving ourselves names, Cardigan Bay and Caduceus, were a couple on my favs... -

yes I would, not via social media, direct engagement! regarding a few of the facebook pages and the likes of here, I would be monerting them, looking for any common concern/theme and adreess them! I am sure you would have some of the 'nutters' getting all excited, but I am sure that over time you would learn who to engage with! sigh, not matter which way you look at it! Racing numbers wise is actually qutie a small industry and any decent leadership group should have little difficulty 'knowing' what the people in their Industry think/want. hey, hold on, "I just need to go and move some chairs around..." -

Shadwell Stable's Ezum (Essential Quality), a speed-and-fade ninth at longshot odds on seven-furlong debut at Gulfstream Park on Feb. 7, was pounded into even-money favoritism stretching out to a mile Saturday at Colonial Downs and treated his rivals to a 19 1/2-length beating. Soon in front for Flavien Prat, the $485,000 Keeneland November weanling angled down towards the inside and made the running one off the fence while doing it through comfortable fractions up front. Prat held his mount together into the final three furlongs and when he edged ever so slightly forward in the irons, Ezum quickly began to build an imposing lead. Never under anything but hand urging in the long Colonial stretch, the gray colt nevertheless covered his final quarter-mile in an unconscious :23.25 and put the better part of four seconds on his overmatched rivals. The final time of 1:34.23 was achieved over a surface that has been putting up quick times over the last couple of days. A half-brother to Beach Patrol (Lemon Drop Kid), MGISW, $2,532,945, Ezum is one of five winners from seven to race out of a full-sister to MGSW & GISP Allamerican Bertie–the dam of SW Homerun Berti (Forestry)–and a half to MGSW & GISP Hurricane Bertie (Storm Boot). This is also the female family of MGSW & MGISP Sun King and GISW Traitor. Bashful Bertie is also the dam of the 2-year-old filly Bashfully (Life Is Good) and is due to Prince of Monaco this term. 4th-Colonial Downs, $81,150, Msw, 3-14, 3yo, 1m, 1:34.23 (NTR), ft, 19 1/2 lengths. EZUM (c, 3, Essential Quality–Bashful Bertie, by Quiet American) half to Beach Patrol (Lemon Drop Kid), MGISW, $2,532,945. Sales history: $485,000 Wlg '23 KEENOV. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $45,680.

By Jonny Turner Tyler Dewe’s been called the punters’ pal at Wingatui before and he hopes his popularity can rise again on Sunday. The Southland trainer will bring two horses north for Dunedin’s annual dual-code meeting with both set to start short-priced favourites. Seaside Charlie will be out to cash in after producing third placings in his two starts to date. Both efforts had real merit, though Dewe admitted he initially wasn’t thrilled with the latest of them. “I thought his first run was big and his second one was a bit average.” “But the form out of it has been franked, both horses that beat him home are handy enough and they have gone on to run good races.” Seaside Charlie’s assignment on Sunday looks the easiest of the three starts he has been aimed at so far. “The only thing is he hasn’t raced on grass before, but he is a really well-gaited horse, so I don’t think it will be a problem.” “I have tinkered with his gear a wee bit, so hopefully that will help him too.” Share A Dream will drop down into a very winnable grade in his Wingatui assignment. The pacer comes into the race after running home well in his last start at Wingatui. “I think for the horse he is he hasn’t been racing with the spark we would expect him to.” “For that reason, I have made a few changes, I have added sliding blinds and I have upped his workload as well.” Unlike his stablemate, Share A Dream brings proven grass track form having placed twice and run fourth in his three starts on turf. Mark Hurrell will link up with both of Dewe’s runners on Sunday. The reinsman will combine with another runner stepping down in grade at Wingatui in the Tony Stratford trained Lydah Valley. Hurrell also drives Born To Rock who was a grass track winner two starts ago at Riverton. View the full article
