Well duh! ... I think we know that more than ever now, some of the tracks the clowns kept open are the stuffed ones , especially the ones with your precious infrastructure built around them in most cases. As has already been pointed out on this thread, Bernard Saundry nonsense around closing tracks has cost the local industry dearly, very dearly in fact, one of if not the most hopeless administrators we have ever seen in NZ and my word is that saying something!

Youre the man with the stats , you tell me?

Yes and be prepared to pay handsomely for this so called success!

People have been paid 1000's to put this together, they were told it they (AWT) were not wanted but spent the $$$ anyway, as it turns out I was wrong as it seems even if they'd put another Strathyr in they would have also messed that up based on the Ellerslie embarrassment.

Bought as a racehorse first & foremost.

So what you're saying is you have a bad chance of a ROI on a horse with TA?

We are talking opinion here ,but Frankel would win the Tancred by 15L ... you can't make it up!

That's the entire point your making SLB, youre assuming the form these horses show is translated into exactly the same form down under, its not , some improve some don't the same could be said for the form in Europe that you overrate .

That person took a ticket in the annual TA lottery , I don't get your point here? The same person could have spent 2.5% of the cost to get into Espionage (who at least won a race I guess) but cost $875k & won $22k in stakes & there are countless examples of this.

Fell in ...whatever , she traveled half way across the planet to beat them on their own turf.

Coming from someone being pretentious...please!!!

Thats a good point, I guess the thinking is they are keeping punters there for longer.

Don't be a pompous Git! It was mooted that they would meet over 1400m when they were both racing , a distance both horses won a G1 over, you're not the racing aficionado you think yourself to be.

Yes for sure you could.

Had the Strathy not been put in the industry would be in a better state than it is now.

Even if that was or is the case , still no excuse for putting on this S%%t show , this club talk themselves up at every opportunity and pretend to lead the way, they're the laughing stock of the industry!

Absolutely , how about someone who is a normal owner.

Oatham said slip on M Cameron runner. Why was this track rushed back for KM & now for this meeting , what are they trying to prove?

Wow CS didn't know you were also in the KFE fan Club as well, its just an observation . No getting away from the fact that she is made a very big deal of being an owner in the horse more so than the others, as I say just an observation and I'm all for you continuing to enjoy your fan club!

BC would have left Frankel for dead in Aus. Enable would also have been beaten, the randoms youre talking down to were all acclimatised to Aus. that would not have been the case for the former two youre speaking of, they would have done hit and runs much like BC did at Ascot . It's why the likes of BC, Takeover etc deserve such high praise they left their front gate to take on the so called best available to race them.

Have we ever seen the other owners of this horse? It always seem like KFE is the owner?

The time has come for those responsible to walk, its well and truly beyond a joke . The industry did this to itself all the know it alls when the Messara Report came out, its a circus and will always be.

I'm sorry but I don't recall many MC 8th places being of note or recognition.

All the aforementioned are G1 winners , what more do you want? Enable like Frankel wouldn't come down to take on the Australian stars because they would have gotten soundly beaten, Frankel was only going to take the great mare on on his terms says it all.

Incredible influence on the industry on & off the track, 1 in a million!
