Forbury, judging by all your posts you seem to judge every single driver as totally incompetent. At least this should create a level playing field (in your mind anyway)

Galah, That’s exactly the kind of thinking we need on the HRNZ board.

Excellent point Galah

Have you ever considered going to see a councillor?

Are you drunk already??😆😆😆

There may be a bit of water to go under the bridge on this topic. I just have a feeling the ban could potentially be overturned by the courts. Just my thoughts with no inside information admittedly.

He was part owned in NZ by his trainer P Robertson along with Mike Butler who was the stud master at Nevele R.

Natural Guy. From the first crop of Nat Lobell he had a good first crop but was spectacularly unsuccessful thereafter.

With no confidence whatsoever Royal Lopez?

Given his UDR is significantly above what it has been for a number of years it would be nonsensical to suggest he is out of form.

I was there and it was certainly a successful promotion. A lot of the people attending were not regular race goers & many may have been there for the first time. Unfortunately it may be difficult to pull off that promotion in future once the new stadium opens in the CBD.

I would like to see the Messenger Stakes in Auckland moved to a week or two before the Becha Slot race then they could bring back the Easter Cup for $100k at Addington. Since they have canned the aces finals there is plenty of money to re allocate

Very poor programming to have a premier meeting without a premier race. HRNZ needs to look at this & put at least a group 2 or better a group 1 on the night. Otherwise you might as well downgrade it to a normal meeting. That would be very sad.

Does anyone know if Trumps tariffs will affect horse imports into the US??. If he’s dumb enough to put tariffs on coffee that the US can’t grow in their own country & tariffs on an uninhabitable island I expect there will be tariffs on sales of horses to the US. It may well affect the export market here.

In all of the races Forbury mentions the horses that won either had better draws or were simply the best horse on the day IMO
