Yes very valid point, they certainly parted like the red sea, reminded me a bit of Damask Rose winning the big race in Auckland, had to be good and was, many jockeys left the rail wide open, they said it was a great ride, but left with little options from the back, never went around a horse.

Tough gig, no pun, who draws the fastest horses will generally do well, how many more heats till we find a winner,

Well they've been giving their way in one code, so now more resources to work on the other two, and they certainly wont go away, they'd be 10 fold more that die due to paddock injuries, but not in the spotlight so don't care as much, maybe they should get on the 1080 ban wagon, that suffers catastrophic slow deaths, they obviously don't care about the suffering they go through.

Ya never know, but they keep the clubs racing helping fill the fields, travel from one end of country to just about the other, just good luck to them I say, keeps them very busy no doubt.

Another winner in the last race today, nice big divvy for the stable followers.

Wonder if Micheal trains any gallopers these days, remember he won a race with Moremaire, couple years back at Reefton, former Pike trained runner, has had a few winners on the thoroughbred code.

They wont forget ole Ernie, classic,

Looked a the thoroughbred version, thought the odds were very poor, unless you were planning on taking those that won't even get a start, I'm sure the odds on the tote be better on the day, they'll have to be much more brave to temp me.

We live in a world of experts, there across all fields, I'm sure many will be self acclaimed no doubt, maybe some deep digging one may find just how expert they really are.

No quater given in those big races over there, I always maintained they gifted her the big win in Auckland, they left the rail wide open for her that day, won't be seeing any of that in those prestigious races, she'll need every ounce of luck and more.

30 mills doesn't seem that excessive, or has the track suffered damage from the last meeting

Great piece of nostalgia, what a great field, all classy performers,

Watched that There you go last start, thought it went a good, considering it sat parked the trip, didn't even see it in today, until it was in front, 101 fixed thought a very good divvy, fixed never seem to work in my favour, took miss onaki at gore 27s at lunch time, so got my bet on as not to forget while at work, she closed at 40s plus

Poor meatlug, no wonder his recovery was slow putting a hoof into something that deep.

Yes bit of a tricky angle that one, not quite in the same league as the reefton winning post, since they shifted it.
