    I struggle more with the name changes. In the list of 99 there have been many.

    On a Good 4. The Benchmark R65's broke 1:08 that day.

    No wind assist @Gammalite it was blowing a stiff SWester.

    Interesting the track was rated a Soft 7. Grailseeker runs 1:07.71. Which is very quick for a soft 7. Was the chute harder than the rest of the track? Or was the race mistimed? Or was the race short? Had it improved during the day? On Trackside the commentator had said the Jockeys had approached the Stewards to say the rating was wrong. The Stewards didn't change it. There is no mention in the Stewards Report.

    Trainspotter question: How many of the Grp 1's listed have lost their status as Grp 1's?
  6. Chief Stipe
    The 3yr old season is good to most top horses.
  7. Chief Stipe
    Yeah. Every NZ major Grp 1 on that list.

    Wasn't too tough for Imperatriz. Any number of winners in OZ. What's your point?
  9. Chief Stipe
    Value. Nothing to do with 3yr olds wearing blinkers for the first time after Christmas aka @Thomass.

    But there are also patches that haven't browned off.
  12. Chief Stipe
    Just shows you how misinformation is generated on the web. It would appear the square patch was the first stage of preparation for the repair i.e. the drop in turf.

    What's your point? Te Akau seem to do very very well with their Magic Millions draft. Ellis has the highest black type to purchase strike rate of any purchaser.

    Well post when he comes up with something conclusive. Until then...

    Since when have you been a "media investigator"?
  17. Chief Stipe
    Mmmm another rumour is they had fungal disease issues on the whole track. Wasn't that what hindered Te Aroha? I see the Flemington track manager has got the call up to the Gold Coast.
  18. Chief Stipe
    Was it called Schnitzel von Krumm with a very low tummy?
  19. Chief Stipe
    Has anyone ever heard of a track staff spraying a chemical to make a track look greener for the TV cameras?
  20. Chief Stipe
    Anyway back to the Topic. There is chatter online in OZ that it wasn't sabotage but a stuff up by track staff.
  21. Chief Stipe
    Why ask the question?
  22. Chief Stipe
    Try the searching the internet
  23. Chief Stipe
    Well they are half way there!
  24. Chief Stipe
    Yeah well you are still talking about the past when the Topic you started was about the future. Obviously the main track was softer than the part of the track hidden now by houses and piles of rubble.
  25. Chief Stipe
    Will be interesting to see if the drop in turf works. They must be lifting a really deep section hence the big machinery moving interstate. Love to see the video of the process!
