Im not sure why you'd expect it to be given what they race for and the opportunities available to them.
I reckon we have done well getting these horses over here.
I understand, but I thought the assessment was on turnover figures not the type of turnover. Those scenarios have little to do with total turnover in my view.
Kiwi 2yo G2 race should set him up for life @Chief Stipe , how much will he stand for $50k?
Not like this crowd stand their speedy 2yo in NZ at any rate.
Will he win the slipper ? Will he even bother to go?
Qld 2yo G1?
Tangerine been a bit quiet in NZ to date over the carnival, must be due a big NY Day at Ellerslie?
Hitting Phar Lap Raceway today with some firepower, 6 runners probably get some SI form going there.
Surely more than that there.
I don't know why people are surprised there are decent sized crowds this time of year. Anything else would be unacceptable ,it's the only time most people attend.
PS @Chief Stipe comments like yours show you are naive of the workings of the industry in NZ & you shouldn't comment.
You obviously have no clue how poorly the industry in this country is run.
Absolutely delusional!
Hard to tell , I can't remember who was running around against them. I think JC would have had a go at the slot , probably the one who could have done both.
Agree couldn't see a filly with that sort of brilliance getting an Oaks trip & @Chief Stipe is correct not many by that sire perform further than a mile.
Anything in Aus likely to threaten her in slot race?
Only missing the race through some unforseen circumstance can you see her not winning.
