  1. the rain doesn't affect us now,” says Wilcox. Famous last words , take NZ weather on at your peril!
  2. I can't see it being an issue (distance or travel) , not to mention the young boy Bergerson seems to be doing a very good job also and is beginning to come into his own.
  3. They have literally copied off a concept from Australia (Everest) , like most things our industry does. They are now tabling themselves as genius for doing that ... ???
  4. Here we go @Chief Stipe , if you haven't got your share(s) yet the team have identified some dead certs for the race in this video. You could have 2 or 3 runners in the race , taken all the hardwork out of it. Top it off this is the best bunch of yearling Dave Ellis has seen at the sales , if that doesn't get your CC out of your pocket nothing will!
  5. Cracks are starting to appear because they are losing. You can't help but question some of those bets last week , they were betting as bad as me and thats absolutely awful! I think maybe they need some serious punters to assist them with their bets which may help them to at least become sustainable, are they too proud to seek someone out?
  6. Certainly a lot to live up for this top priced horse , I can't find a successful sale topper apart from Don Eduardo that won at G1.
  7. Moaning doesn't work @Chief Stipe , they do not care. Incompetence reigns supreme!
  8. It sounds like he will be back and forth from Aus to NZ , so perhaps that answers how it will run. Fascinating to see how he goes over there with the new firepower they have, I think he will do very well.

    Help me out , is this how a normal slot race works ? A slot holder trains other slots holders horses for the race?
  10. Agree that does seem off, unless they are by passing the ex NI route a lot of horses take and going directly there instead?
  11. I think we will all enjoy finding out what @Chief Stipe has taken a share in at this sale @Jim Green , he doesn't get much wrong so exciting times ahead for us all !
  12. So they are racing for $18k in Aus, seems strange we are racing for $18k in NZ as well and we were talking about Aus. prizemoney & training fees . Perhaps Aus & NZ have more in common that we think?
  13. Is someone racing for $18k over there today?
  14. Isn't is Australia Day over there also?
  15. 62.5% of 71k ain't a years training in Aus
  16. Hmmm not sure if thats right, I've heard some fairly hefty bills across the Tasman.

    Is this the 4th or 5th Wexford trained galloper in the race, who also hold a slot for the race? https://loveracing.nz/News/48148/WaikatoThoroughbredRacingsecureSethitoforNZBKiwi.aspx
  18. Brilliant move for him , very good trainer and will be appreciated over there. I guess you'd have to say they have the stock over there now. Hopefully he can win a G1 with yours.
  19. Good stuff, I wish him all the best. Will your one be going there @Chief Stipe?
  20. Have you bought a couple yet @Chief Stipe ? what Lot numbers?
  21. Underachievers well that certainly sums you up more than those you're calling out @Chief Stipe , all those you've mentioned are log standing industry participants that care or used to care a lot about the industry. Don't forget to buy a couple of shares in some Karaka yearlings so that you're not deemed an underachiever!
  22. Certainly @Chief Stipe if you can tell me how the current approach is sustainable?
  23. They are throwing $$ at the show pieces of the sport, with scant regard for anything else. It's been done before and its happening again we will get the same outcome as before but on a larger scale this time. Nothing has been fixed and all they really care about now is Ellerslie for the show pieces , nothing else really matters. They are overdoing the icing on the cake without worrying about the cake itself.
  24. Day 1 I Liked Lot 84 Per Incanto racy little filly Lot 166 Proisir Colt Lot 191 a Shocking Colt , looks like might not be a KM type and takes some time. Of course I'll also like anything @Chief Stipe has bought into also.
