What you say is very true, I like to keep up with the play, and punting wise when a change of stable happens, it sparks my interest, wether a maiden or winners, all the way through to a broodmare an progeny if any produced, its called keeping your finger on the pulse, hence last year got a couple very good divs off a horse called Miss Onaki, battled around Canterbury, changed trainer down to the Deep South, obviously didn’t come up this year and since has been retired, if she’s off the broodmare paddock I’ll be watching, if I was a trainer I reckon there wouldn’t be anything more satisfying than training a winner from a horse that’s been moved on, or unwanted, Freda be more qualified to answer this one.

Fair call you can only go on what your experiences have been, sometimes things go just to far, I didn’t buy into to much of the issues or non issues, my interest was mostly into her future, and where she heads

All a bit of a storm in a tea cup, everyone one has differing opinions, and fair enough, in saying that can understand those having a financial interest being much more passionate about the approach with her, but that’s what you sign up for in some respects, i look forward to see what the new owner has in store for her, either way, wonder as a breeding option wether the wind issue she’s had would be hereditary or not, good luck to them which ever road they take.

Why not, 17 starts hardly well tried, ya never know might win a few more, new trainer can sometimes work the oracle

Be great to see if she makes it back to the races.

The next generation interested in different things, when I was a young fella I’d be itching to go to the races, my uncle would often take a car full to the races, I used to be on the ballot list, and would get in, if there was any scratchings on the day, fast forward to these days I’m the driver now, and no one interested in coming, he’s long passed on, quite sad, but just the way things are these days, usually on the way home, he would quote a little song, it was a beautiful day when we started away with a smile of content on our faces, but the money we spent including the rent, what a shit of a day at the races.

No a decision as such, guess the rest be a long drawn out process.

Sounds like you’ve got the pip with Pip, can certainly see where your coming from, not very professional.

Obviously that forward momentum wasn’t ford enough for some, in saying that wingatui a big course and plenty opportunity to come from the back, check out a couple of replays of the The Grey Goose, good ya got on to winner even if you got ripped by the odds, sometimes best wait right up till race time, I looked at So Brassy very good run last start but previously a little poor, I was to greedy and though at 20s was on the short side in a reasonable field, that will teach me, the apprentice claims during the winter on deep tracks always a help.

An ark on the West Coast, they may just need one, maybe just some scaremongering… again.

With the El Niño big wet forecast for this year, they may be planing on building an ark

Ratatouille maybe, or maybe don’t give a rats arse.

That’s good to know, so if there retired as a broodmare only by a stable, a new owner can go through the same process and be back racing if all checks out, or will the previous owner need to give permission, reason being some have said if sold as a broodmare racing career over.

Nice run today in open class race, goes to show can’t count any runner out,

Probably wouldn’t effect on course crowd, as they get buggar all in the winter.
