Very good win last night, got softened up from the outside draw and done a bit of work to get the front, fought like a tiger to get the win, and a good story behind his late start at the races, patience is a virtue, and many horses in all codes are not always given that. Good reward for the connections.

Good to hear you got a good collect, things being going good for that stable, even hes fast and furious went a good race for fourth, can remember some time back a thread on NZ worst trainer, not sure who posted that one.
-
Alan bright was one from years gone by, also lan chambers, Eric percy to name a few.
-
That man deserves a db.Hope he got plenty.
-
Certainly a battler, but you never know up there, just put a few in Dolly Jones, must be due to trot the whole trip soon.Fingers crossed, looking at minimal outlay, for maximum return.
-
Certainly very fresh out there today, stayed for 6 races closest I got to a winner was majica fogiolo. Nice run for third after being slow away, thought the place div very light, nice ride on Doctor Watson, did have the weight relief on some of the others.
-
They certainly were there today at the gate in full cry, only point I think they make and one I have never been a big fan of is the 2yr old racing, as many are not physically or mentally ready for racing, and another year or to, can make all the difference.
-
Can't see much, but might back tin roof blues, for a big div, but only a battlers chance.
-
Heading out to the gardens tomorrow, cold wind today, fields quite light, but if I can back a winner or two, that should warm me up.

How true that is, but was that disappointed with it at wingatui last Friday, and to be fair, if it couldn't lead all the way at wingatui, didn't think if could at riccarton from 9 at the barrier, but had to stuck to it, and only decided to back it at lunch time, wandered down to the tab, but couldn't see the fixed odds prices anywhere, have to update my phone, I see you tipped the tavistock horse at invercargill few weeks back, battling run, and never fired last start, not like him, but I see he has had 4 starts in about 5 weeks on the toughest of conditions, I think taken its toll.Big ask in my opinion.

Will anyone be brave enough.

Was pleased to get on augustace today, after I was disappointed with the run at wingatui last Friday,, downside I only got the 64s on tote, 80s fixed was the better deal on the day, this horse formally train by Mr rae in the north I think, change of trainer and did win a trial a few weeks ago.Not a easy task to lead all the way at riccarton.

Do you know how the farmer found his sheep in the long grass, very satisfying.
-
Anyone out their know the reason why a lot of horses hang, during races.
-
Have to pull that old chestnut out on Monday, sorry boss, can't come to work, fogged in, wonder what reply that I'd get.
-
How did all those tips go today, can't say any of my bets went that well, couple of tips for tomorrow be a help.
-
I see another poor part time driver got a 2 day suspension, and a 300$ dollar fine, for over use of the 3 whip, bloody tough on the battlers, especially after trekking all the way up there. Wouldn't that put you off.
-
Dont tell me, these girls, live in your area.
-
To be fair, he has been racing in 2000m distances for a while now, so probably not surprising to see him outpaced early, trainer thought he would go ok, but did say he preferred better tracks, hard for a stayer dropping back to the mile all the same, wouldn't drop him on that, some just don't handle that riverton track.
-
Some love the grass.
-
Great win by I'm tough last nite, a huge thrill for the connections, 2 from 2, what more can one ask for.
-
A shame to be honest, and agree with all the comments on the poor returns, just stretches the punting dollar, with so many forms of betting available, be best to return to the original format,and try to keep the trifecta pools more financial.
-
I wonder, good on them for chalking up another win with this horse, the old saying, never condemn a horse till it's dead. They will make a liar out of you every time.
-
Can't win, if your not in.
-
My problem with gambling at the moment, is I can't even pick my nose.
