  1. What a surprise...not!
  2. If you knew anything about your fandom you shouldn't have to have it explained to you. My only hope is that youre pretending to be so naive !
  3. Take the Fan boy glasses off CS, you shouldn't be wearing them this early in the morning.
  4. https://www.racing.com/videos/2024-11-20/vinnie-colt-breaks-australasian-sales-record
  5. Hilarious shenanigans, yet another G1 TA trained mare goes for silly money . You'd have to be seriously naive a fan boy of the all the fan boys or both to believe all these theatrics!
  6. A proper fan boy like you couldn't miss them.
  7. Watch the sales today , that should give you move than enough evidence of how it works.
  8. C'mon you need help understanding how the business model of these bigger stables works?
  9. No idea haven't been following him.
  10. You'll never know if these guys can train unless/until they go out on their own and try . It's far more the model that's works no matter what than it is any given trainer.
  11. They call it progress, it'll take 2 years of abandonements to get it right at any rate.
  12. Same situation occurs here but obviously on a smaller scale. Strike rate trainers with huge teams(owners and the public misinterpreting the correlation between training, culling and winning) , expensive yearlings winning 1 or 2 races , money floating upwards with a few scraps thrown to the bottom (of which the big guys go and get anyway) . Fan boys thinking this is good for the sport.
  13. Handicapping is an absolute shambles , countless examples of journeyman horses giving Group & Listed winners weights in Open Handicaps. The problem with it is there is skant regard for the quality of the field or the level of race the horse wins , just some arbitrary points allocation in the handicap.
  14. Most of the iconic fillies races hold up for quality, I'd venture to say this race and the Cup race are the only races of interest over the entire carnival , some very poor fields and perhaps a reflection of how the SI has been treated in general coming to fruition. In particular I can't recall seeing a worse Canterbury Breeders Stakes field.
  15. The winner looks any sort of horse as well , very impressive & picked up at the sales for a very reasonable $400k I heard mentioned on TS. How do they keep coming up with these bargain buys?
  16. Fancy Man just wins.
  17. Great stuff for the local jocks! Hey you can ride our horses midweek , but when the real racing starts we will fly in the Aussies . Great supporters of the NZ riding ranks!
  18. Not many in the country left without bias on Heavy going.
  19. A Whale miss the noms?
  20. The WS slot is actually a great example of why these type of races shouldn't have any blacktype attached to them .
  21. Wins a 2mill race and worries about the blacktype ... real world racing problems.
  22. For sure, evens out the field for the battlers - go the battlers!
  23. Nothing against The Everest its got its place , especially in an industry that is humming. NZB Kiwi is yet another Karaka Millions ... Yawn. What about the battlers???
  24. Yeah edge of the seat stuff, its got the real feel good factor around it with it being one of the battlers in the industry having a go in Waikato Stud! Hope Entain are helping them with this.
