You could possibly put another 4 or 5 riders on the mounts she gets & they would also be country leading rider.

I got $1k , so if I can get her for $500 she is off to The Alphonso! https://plus.gavelhouse.com/?fbclid=IwAR3Gi-tLIgsq8OKG-Fmowkm5oPZEMiPsvW3MV4ywA4YLk6Uyd_UbJeCL_18

They have plenty in their favour, no room for excuses. Unfortunately with so many horses spread far & wide they are having to put up with some average rides from some average riders like the rest of us usually do. They have so much fire power it'll only be a temporary thing and there will be a big day coming their way sooner rather than later, no one can be in doubt of that.

2 SI gems & the other(Fonzie) a short trip from where she is now (Cambridge), Raffles Farm.

1st season to The Alfonso , 2nd season to The King then 3rd season stretch the budget and send her to Raise The Flag should give ya a good idea of how commercial she is.

Silly if she doesn't move to where the racetracks are paved with gold (AWT gold that is) and does 5 years in NZ! She will never get a better opportunity to move here or possibly the opportunity will no longer exist .

True but to balance that out - she won them in NZ.

Was it 9?

Good mare & I wonder where she sits in the list of good horses n NZ over the past few decades, probably dominated when our G1 racing was (well still is & getting worse) at its worse and barring from memory a Group win in OZ? Certainly By Fastnet Rock out of Zabeel mare there would be plenty of interest as you say.

Kia Ora Whanau! I'm sure like me everyone is enjoying the wall to wall coverage we are getting from Luuuurve Racing on this very special language week we all share in New Zealand! Couldn't help but notice the irony neigh on ignorance displayed by this organisation (NZTR) in an interview with the GM running Otaki Racing. What is your role at Ōtaki-Māori Racing Club? And what do you enjoy most about your mahi? Initially I was contracted in 2017 to assist the Club through a number of challenges. Since then I have taken on the mantle of General Manager and oversee all racing operations, as well as the formulation and implementation of a number of non-racing projects to ensure the longevity and sustainability of our historic Club. The thing I enjoy the most in this environment is ensuring the legacy of our tupuna (ancestors), all previous committee members, staff and officials, is safeguarded, and that the efforts they made in the past are not wasted.

Cause TA dont put up with any old shenanigans!

Time for her to move to NZ and ride ??

For sure they will do it here.

I'd venture to say most trainers are more concerned about where they are sending their horse (track) than the actual stakes on offer always being the inducement they are supposed to be. We may be seeing the beginning of the impact stupid decisions have had on the venues available. or we may just be seeing a covid bottleneck , I hope we are just seeing the change in timing of the HB carnival having an impact but I'm not confident of that either.

Nothing will distract my steely gaze from Flemington this weekend, some really interesting racing: R2 - Tutukaka & He's Exceptional R4 - great race R5 -Ayrton R6 - Instant Celebrity & Mystic Journey R7 - Away Game , Begoodtoyamother amongst others R8 - another great race R9 - Young Werther,Warning , Sherwood Forest

You guys really are stuck in the past , having you all heard that stakes have increased in NZ!

and spread its wings a bit further int he industry, the stories that exist aren't just about the winners or 5 stables

Not Catalyst but watching that trial at Taupo , what a beast Call Sign Mav has matured into. Very handsome boy!

More luuurve racing stories?

Wait...what I thought it had been rebranded as Te Akau TV!

You summed it all up.

Thas no different than a horse jumping on the plane to go to Aus for better working conditions, NZ will never compete.

What about if they said in NZ that all the people that don't get vaccinated have to go to the races in NZ - surely that would be a great way to push Vac rates through the roof in this country?

They'll for sure do it here as well.

My thoughts exactly, comments like that are a real concern and indeed the reason the industry is in the state it is in.
