Mick boots races the horse Newmarket.  ( the leading Partner in Swayzee) Bootsie was already racing it in NZ with Nathan last year and got him to campaign her in Brisbane last Winter for some big races. 4 starts where she won 3 and was 3rd in the Group 1 Oaks , after a poor drive by Nathan. This year she was always going to come back to Australia in the Summer,  to tackle the Queen of the Pacific at Melton and the Chariots of Fire Group 1's . She won them both and over $300,000 this year in oz with 6 starts for 6 wins. before running 5th tonight.  Pretty sure Mick Boots has other horses with Nathan as well. He is using over 30 trainers all around Oz and NZ at the present moment. he's a great supporter of mid level trainers as well as top-line ones.  

If you were Matt Ballesty, would you? There is a good reason why he or any of his leadership team will not go anywhere near these social media sites.  For a start, why would any of them engage in dialogue with anonymous posters.  You would have to have rocks in your head to do that

More polite to phone ahead.  Easier to do that now with modern technology. Understandably.  If you don't do that today then you are open to all sorts of issues.  That is the society we live in now unfortunately.  To be honest I'm surprised there isn't even more security.  Many seem to rely on anonymity and being unseen in plain sight. 

HOLLYWOOD STRIP sits parked and wins the Derby. 8 wins from 8 starts .  and 1.49.8 time. He might give Jumal a run for his money in the NZ Derby later in the year.??   he's a bit of a monster this bloke.  Ex-pat NZer ZEUS LIGHTNING fainted up the home straight,  after being eye-balled by him , and ran 4th. Another 10 points for Brodie . (and $58 too 💰). they run true to form in OZ Brodster.  Menangle you can win from the 10 gate too . just like that . what fabulous harness horses they are. also 4 pts for 'ZEUS' for Brodie , Galah and Blackie.    Points after race 6  (and One race to go ) the Miracle Mile Brodie 50 points ,  The Galah  36 pts,  Chief  22 pts ,  Blackie  22  pts,   Gamma  20 pts.   DIVVIE's Comp Brodie $160,  Blackie  $90,   The Galah  $88,    Gamma $44 ,  Chief  $46  

I gather with your winnings you will buy a horse to be trained here and/or sponsor some races with stake money?  Buy a slot or two.  

Most of it isn't worth commenting on.  They are just stuck in a negative narrative and a nostalgia trip.  Most of it comes from envy.
