  1. Gee I wonder who the trainers will be .... 🙄
  2. I'm not for rewarding it , but what I am saying is it happens all the time , it's only amplified due to it being a superstar horse. I feel as much for them as they would me.
  3. Youre right the industry needs a lot more like him. Stood the more than handy Sire His Royal Highness from memory?
  4. I actually think its the right move for her to not go, you'd have to think the field she will be up against won't be much given whose off to the Everest.
  5. Wow Cry babies much, didn't he win them an Everest last year ?
  6. Agree , a real eye opener & what a turn of foot she showed.
  7. I can't remember it winning a G1 surely the Sires winner or Diamond winner shd be 2yo of year
  8. What a farce ! Champion Two-Year-Old: Tokyo Tycoon (45) Other finalists: Ulanova (11), Pignan (2), Trobriand (1), Zourion
  9. Imperatriz was amazing, hats off for that performance, exhilarating turn of foot. As for TA domination at Hastings, well that's just more ho hum , nothing unexpected men vs boys here in NZ with the fire power they have in the 3yo ranks unfortunately. Tokyo Tycoon winning champion 2yo , if this is true that makes racing in this country a huge joke!
  10. It's supposed to be a G1 and plenty of them on their way to bigger things via the race. Just good to see a very decent field go around in my opinion.
  11. Lol ... I see , I certainly can't put them away like you CS , I be lucky to place a bet after the 10th one.
  12. Acromantula to upset them from the draw.
  13. What's wrong with the first 5 races? , look decent fields to me R5 in particular.
  14. Pity that great field wasn't going down the straight at Flemington, instead of the goat track at MV. Hastings fields look pretty good as well, a great day on the couch with a couple of 6 packs!
  15. So long as Awapuni is ok at the end of it is all they care about. Same as Ellerslie situation.
  16. The worrying thing here is , if any of these silly ideas see the light of day our silly lot will plagiarise them.
  17. Goes very nicely with the $700k worth of horse flesh they had win on the Synthetic at Awapuni on Thursday.
  18. That's should equal about half of what they pay for a horse & it'll only get better now the industry is throwing even more silly $$ at the only race day they think exists.
  19. We keep making the same mistakes again & again , this will make no material difference to all but a select few high end breeders & pinhookers.
  20. Top it off by winning the Karaka Million next year perhaps...you heard it here first!
  21. Huge reality check for anyone coming off the comfort zone of training for TA in NZ, a good honest assessment. https://www.ttrausnz.com.au/edition/2023-07-21/hong-kong-is-a-very-difficult-place-to-win-races-richards-baptism-of-fire
  22. Agree , I think trainners are working out that Ruakaka isn't the winter nirvana its made out to be & watch it get left behind once they throw everything at Ellerslie. The problem is a lot deeper as you allude to, horse population another issue on the way. More races for slower horses required to keep them in work perhaps?
  23. I agree an awful decision for the industry, I notice how a fair amount of US racing is streaming live & free on YouTube nowadays I can't for the life of me understand why NZ racing streaming on that platform would not be good for wagering turnover. I realise they probably full their pockets with the $$ from Sky but one thing racing desperately needs in NZ is to broaden its appeal to a larger audience & break down the barriers to consuming the product that it currently has.
