  1. Geez have a look at the head on of the Ashburton Cup. Drunken Sailors! Even Kosi Assano was unbalanced!
  2. Throw in Explosive Jack.
  3. 2 from 2. Nice ride on Tannahill. I like a Jockey that has a bit of height. Rode that race intelligently and didn't flail the whip all over the place!
  4. Lizzie just called his ride in the first as the pick of the yard.
  5. What do you think of Erin Leighton? Seems to have a cool head and speaks well. Had a bit of a rocky past so good to see her doing OK.
  6. Vets gave the all clear. Galloped the best she ever has this week. Waller thinks the trip south may have just softened her a bit in her last race. $8 for the Cox Plate and it looks like being wet. Will she get her revenge on Zaaki?
  7. Same name as one of my favourite Harness Horses of all time!
  8. Not because I'm feeling generous today (long day of racing to come!) but I agree with you @holy ravioli
  9. Weird @Gammalite the blasts from the past you throw up. We must have had a very similar passion and focused interest in harness racing when we were younger. The thing that got me thinking it was Cardy was the dark legs versus the lighter upper body. For a moment I thought it might have been Young Quinn (U Scott again through his son Young Charles).
  10. Well surely competitive spelling is an anachronism in today's world of wokeness. As lon as it soundz rite its all dat mattas!
  11. Another protest..... All Rangitara had to do was come up with another driver after you ticked my answer!!!! He wouldn't have had a show in hell of recognising Cardy!
  12. Bloody spell checker......Wolfeden form Wimbledon.
  13. I think they got it wrong on this occasion. As for consistency of the Feds well you and I have disagreed on that for some time.
  14. I had another look. You are right. Self Assured ran in a lot more than South Coast Ardern ran out.
  15. But it definitely took Self Assured's line and hampered its run. You'd expect that there would be. How do we know it "won't happen"?
  16. Why not? The data usage is minimal. The only downside is if you move to a zone that doesn't have coverage.
  17. Last night the horse moved out when she pulled the ear plugs. What I've been noticing is that horses tend to move away from the side that the ear plugs are pulled from.
  18. Too short a price. I like Ten Bells in that race at better value 9's.
  19. What's PDF? Do you mean Prise De Fer? Of the Te Akau runners I prefer Savvy Yong Blonk. Average rating for the race 90. 16 going round......hard race to pick the winner!
  20. All horses do run the occasional shocker....except the likes of Winx. Hard to keep a stallion keen on the job for four years of training and racing.
  21. Cardigan Bay - Peter Wolfendon? I don't think that is right but the horse sure rings a bell.
  22. Yep Blossom Lady was correct. Caduceus won the Interdom Final at Harold Park in front of a world record crowd of nearly 51,000. Highland Fling ran 2:10 as a two year old, in 1948 he ran 1:57.8 for the mile, broke the world 2 mile record and ran 2:00 on grass.
