  1. Winn may have become a little jet lagged and bleary ...but the Knats were asleep at the Racing Industry wheel...indeed the whole wheel... ..for 9 lonnnnnng tedious non INFRUSTRUCTURE years... ...and you still want the Nath Geysers of this world back in control of our industry UNBELIEVABLE
  2. Imagine if Black Caviar had have stayed home... ...the crowd in Melbourne Square wouldn't have had the opportunity to stay up all night, get pissed, then pissed again after the Jockey froze in the headlights... ...now that's called fun
  3. Talk about exciting... The Queen of the Japanese nuts is ready to take On the World... Meydan...Britain then onto the Arc...for a meeting with Enable Now that's what you call gutsy and mouth watering...and Almonds are that Almond Eye at trackwork in Dubai (Image: Erika Rasmussen/Dubai Racing Club) An eye on Europe Carl Di Iorio@CDi_Iorio 2:43pm , ( Almond Eye is days away from her first race on the international stage and connections are contemplating extending her time abroad. The daughter of Lord Kanaloa stretched her legs at Meydan racecourse on Monday ahead of Saturday's US$5 million Group 1 Dubai Turf (1800m) - a highlight race on Dubai World Cup night, which is the world's richest meeting. Three Japanese-trained horses have won the Dubai Turf over the past five years - Just A Way (2014), Real Steel (2016) and Vivlos (2017) - and Almond Eye is considered $2.20 favourite to continue Japan's recent domination this weekend. Almond Eye has raced seven times for six wins and one second, her only defeat coming in her lone two-year-old run over 1400 metres. She won the Japanese Fillies' Triple Crown before ending last year with victory in the G1 Japan Cup (2400m) on November 25. Those achievements ensured she was recognised as Japanese Horse of the Year. Japanese media reports suggest Almond Eye could head to Europe after Saturday's Dubai Turf in preparation for the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (2400m) at ParisLongchamp on October 6. The four-day Ebor Festival at York may see Almond Eye in action with the G1 International Stakes (2063m) on August 21 or the G1 Yorkshire Oaks (2385m), for fillies and mares, the following day. The past two winners of the Yorkshire Oaks provided the quinella of last year's Arc de Triomphe, with 2017 winner Enable defeating 2018 victor Sea Of Class. Enable remains in training this year in her bid to become the first horse to win the Arc on three occasions. Should Almond Eye contest this year's Arc she'll be chasing a fair chunk of history as well - no Japanese horse has ever won Europe's most prestigious race.
  4. And one of his best wins https://mobile.twitter.com/Racing/status/1110349783279915008
  5. Liked a good tongue pull
  6. Play this vid over and over in your empty red neck head bean... https://mobile.twitter.com/Peter_Fitz/status/1110101657801547776
  7. Absolute garbage... Her perfect response to this dreadful terrorism has given the World a Blue Print in how handle hate... ...with love and compassion... ..then swift action to ban red neck semi automatic hate speech fermenting further... HATE...
  8. Her rating for the race was certainly top class and indicates hardly any wear and tear... She could still go to HK/Meydan and show the world she doesn't need to stay in a box at Rosehill and peee away after a dose of Lasix... ...she could do that anywhere
  9. Only a past 'born to rule' Knatster could come up with that rubbish commentary... Care to add anything after the giant asterisk that should be at the bottom end of your rant?
  10. And what an innings it was...Rising 23's a good knock in Stallion terms... https://arrowfield.com.au/2019/03/26/australias-king-of-sires-redoutes-choice-dies-at-arrowfield/
  11. Wtf said I was criticising her?? And why did you start a new thread...then post moi's sensational pik in YOUR thread...when it was in the other thread?? Just like you did with another thread of mine... Have you no shame?
  12. So as usual I'm getting pm's by the thousands... peeps wanting to remain anon...but spilling the beans... Turns out the Starter apologised to Jammie Richards and said "yea human error Jammie...but what if that Nebo neddy had off bin yours..you would off wanted me to devote the entire Barrier crew to calming it down...and stuff the blanket...ok"? Now that's verbatim And get this... Even though the Auckland Racing Club EMPLOYEE the starters... HQ didn't even realise the Starting crew had stuffed up the GEAR administration... of ONE F IN BLANKET!!!...oh but they remembered to take the ear covers off the winner Big ups for that...imagine if they'd let CP go around sans hearing?? So not only did the RIU SUPPRESS the reasons behind the total F UP.. They didn't think the Starters employers should know about it WHat the flaming f is that about??
  13. Quite obviously I've never picked holes in any thing she's ever done... ..It's the soft options the connections have taken that's turned her races into a procession... ...what a waste of potential spectacular racing we've been denied
  14. You two are way out of line here.... Absolutely Disgraceful posts... ...any deaths in any community would have been treated in EXACTLY the same way with HORROR... go away and look at yourselves in the mirror for the rest of the day
  15. The only thing I can think of...for an EXCUSE..for being totally incompetent... ...and not having proper protocols in place...so various 'distractions' aren't used as EXCUSES...is The neddy Nebo was attempting to lay down...and the boys backed it out under the instruction of the Starter...that was the only thing happening... The thing that screws that excuse is that IN A TWINKLING goes into the barrier sans Blanky... BEFORE Nebo goes off... BB's are always applied before neddys go into the barrier... So b/s to that This is THE major race of the season...and the Barrier Boys Starting Protocols FAILED... and then the RIU SUPPRESSED the reason why the Barrier Boys SCREWED the thing up... Sneakily hiding it away in a miscellaneous report... I wouldn't be surprised if the Auckland Racing Club...who EMPLOYEES these boys... ..didn't know about it...until I raised it What a GIANT SUPPRESSED f up
  16. You shouldn't be bad mouthing moi Bazz... You not only can't work out there's a mathematical equation for measuring ground lost while going around in circles...something you do well But you can't add up your losses properly...I make it over 1 grand now ...you 820... or some fantasical fantasy
  17. You have a unique ability to scrawl facile nonsense koppa...well done Winn has also an OUTSTANDING record as Foreign Minister... ...Its called DIPLOMACY koppa You don't turn up at maniacal leader's Countries and demand a cuppa let alone tell them how to behave... Like when shonky Johnkey went to China...promised to ask about human rights abuses... ...then forgot...but got some trade deal... ..and promised to hand over the SOVEREIGNTY of NZ...oh and build a Silk Road...
  18. Another beautiful easy az win... ...settled the same position...same cruising up possy on the turn....same finishing possy in the middle of the Track clear of interference ...some relly relly enjoy repetitive repetitions when exercising... Its like WINX having a cross fit session every time Just imagine if you will...Racing the Likes of Almond Eye over 2K...on neutral ground at Meydan Nice shot though..like shes got an a Olympic wreath over her
  19. Those two Oirish wabbits looked as if they were off To Wodgers confessional straight after ...good on them for spreading more LURVE in the World though...
  20. Bruce most definitely reads this site...and he's a big fan of mine to be fear... His sectional reading is as good as Gorgeous George's ability to skewer a full Barbie of whitebait... ...and commentators get rusty if they're not full time...use it lose it
  21. The ex trainer has been running this show for a very long time... ...including arranging a mating in December...who does that without thinking? Stick most definitely didn't think Melbourne was where to head... ...and Blinkers most definitely wasn't his idea... Just ask...or aren't you talking with each other?
  22. And here's me thinking you were beginning to see the light Wes... The record speaks for itself...who would have thought she'd be a winning chance in Oz Group racing before this...especially over a mile Extrapolate your thinking out..and REDZEL doesn't need Blinkers... You think every time it should win? pahhhhhhhlease
  23. Superb effort...you have to imagine he trained him to European standard training faire... .And Bruce Herd as his workout wallah... Toddy was getting real excited on film...would have needed a few Durries after that...and a stiff whiskey Vella Fella will be making plans in other Oz group 1's after that..a Brisbane easy kill if not in the next few weeks.. Cambridge Stud bound?
  24. NZTR need to take ownership of these disputes.... Just repeating it's a "civil matter" is b/s...and dissolves itself into making the industry look like we're a bunch of Cowboys
  25. Sheikh Mohammad's imprisoned daughters have more to do with Racing than this koppa... Back to Racing...Winn has done more for Racing than any other Minister in the last 30 years...MORE... His legacy is about to begin with MAC's MAK report...sit back and enjoy mofos
