Taupiri Wonder

Gamms,following your posts here,I looked at Menangle Fields on Tues. Jack Trainor had x2 Runners & Jason Grimson x1. Trainor set the ball rolling with Rocket Boy,fresh off the plane from Auckland 11 days earlier. NZ Record was 11 starts/1 win for Mark Jones,& 1 start 9th for Jeremy Young earlier in June. At Menangle,started $1.22 Fav &** WON by 11.3m,mile rate 1.53.3 Next Race for Jason Grimson was I Am Serengeti (ex Purdon/Rasmussen) started $2 Fav & **WON by 12.2m,mile rate 1.51.6 The only loser on the float home was Trainor's Our Madiba/ $9.50 longshot that ran 4th. Looks like only two doses of "The Tonic " was used this day!

Being a rising 4yo Bitch,I would not be surprised that she has been retired!

I have recently enquired of a favourite poster Karrots/Jones about her concerns of posting here after July 1,following new proposed HRNZ Social Media Policy. With upwards of 1100 posts since joining BOAY,I have yet to read anything that HRNZ Police could find even remotely offensive,or in contradiction of Their Rules. And even if any future post finds offense with them,how does your identity get revealed (unless they have connections with CCP)! Sorry Karrots/Jones,my attempt at sending you one more smile/fun laugh.☺️

Yes,remember Frederick being in quality company during my days at The Park 1980's. See his last win in NZ,he actually beat the mighty Luxury Liner with Tommy Knowles driving, An astute purchase,especially as cheap.🤑

Gamms,so now The Formidable Grimson Team only faces 2 rivals tonight!!! Best wishes to Unhinged/Spellbound.They will certainly need a top drive to triumph. I was unaware until reading here about Grimson/Trainor Team @ Retention Centre. Earlier this year I found daily items in my news feed from www.peterprofit.com.(these have since stopped,only available by subscription) He was totally on to the remarkable results/improvements in horses being transferred into this stable. Often aged horses with hitherto ordinary career records,suddenly running personal best mile rates by several seconds. Like you mention,Extraordinary!!!

Yep,as long as you keep all The Neo Nazi's & White Supremacists in Christchurch & Southwards. Plus,you can keep all the motorcycle gang members with their knives in Blenheim.

Chief,my opinion,calling this episode a Debacle is a poor choice of word. Webster Dictionary defines debacle as 'a great disaster',which this certainly isn't. I believe Tony Music ranks as the Leading Club Administrator within The Greyhound Code. Yes,this was an error that was avoidable,but at the end of the day was down to Human Error. In approx 20 years in the role,Head Stipe Rick Quirk stated Mr Music has a clear record under The Negligence Rule. To me,the penalty was totally fair.

Ray Green v Team McCarthy : Honours Shared 1-1 Tommy Lincoln: found the lead easily,soft second quarter,poured on the pace to put victory beyond doubt before turn. Ranger Bomb settled back,only sprinted final 300 to easily run into 2nd. Ilikemebettor turned the tables for Team McCarthy with a comprehensive win from go to whoa. The Rocknroll King a saloon passage in trail throughout 2nd. American Dealer 3 back on outer,shortlived sprint,a battling 4th.

Hey Gamms,you piqued my interest enough to tune into this race. I note you didn't press ahead with a claim,as no runners went home to a new stable! Sabarge showed good early speed to lead,then attacked relentlessly by the parked runner,so not surprised he was headed and passed early in run home,eventually clinging on for 3rd in 1.53.6 winners m/r. What I found surprising was that the winner was the horse doing it tough parked throughout.Had finished behind Sabarge in recent runs,and could have been claimed for $7,000.🤑

Jones/Karrot. I am puzzled about your apprehension of 'being gagged',and posting here after the proposed Code Of Conduct & Social Media Policy Regulations HRNZ,come into effect from 1 July! Chief Stipe has stated more than once,it will take a Court Order to attempt to identify any poster of BOAY. A few years back,when a Rival Code Stipes/Officials threatened to charge My Trainer over comments made on Channel X,he refused to admit being the author of offending post. Whilst the identity of his non de plume was well known,he argued his partner (also an LP) had access to his laptop,as did visiting family members (non LP's). As such,there was no proof that he was responsible for a particular post,and no charges resulted.

Brodie*yes,the race is penalty free for the winner. Jonesy*final field now numbers 9 starters. I seem to recall last month when Cambridge last carded a Junior Drivers Race with 10 starters,there were 2 scratchings,with at least one being due to no driver available!

Could this young South Island gal you refer to be Cullen Racing Stable Rep Olivia Thornley!!

Gamms:I note that Spirit Of St Louis is another successful winner Flying The Banner for Summit Bloodstock. In watching their interview with Unhinged earlier today,I also watched an interview with West Aust Legend Garry Hall Snr.He stated that in buying 10 racehorses per year from NZ,he expected 2 to be extra good (if not as good as The Mighty Quinn): 4 to pay their way: and 2 to be losers.

Jonesy,I think a factor to consider on the demand for Kiwi Standardbreds to Markets in USA & Australia is the cost of freight. Back when Brian Meale,Charlie Hunter & others were sending planeloads of horses Stateside during the 1970's & thereafter,they formed a significent percentage of total exports.Plus others took the more economical sea route! These days,you can usually count on one hand the number exported to the USA.

Gee Gamms: that was certainly astute spotting. You certainly would have had some fun racing Sam Is Perfection this year,if only you had written that cheque! I wouldn't have let my lack of gear deter me.Plan B would be getting the talented Brittany Graham to train & drive.🤭

Gamms,I see the main race at Albion Park tomorrow night is 'a humdrum' $25k listed race,only 7 starters. But The Quality: King Of Swing :current Miracle Mile Titleholder Spankem:past Miracle Mile Winner Turn It Up:past Auckland Cup Winner No doubt Team McCarthy set to plunder some easy pickings with King Of Swing (drawn the ace)🤑

Clarkie looks like You popped the cork (or do you use twist tops) on another bottle each time Craig Rendle Won a couple of races.😜

Gamms,unhinged is The Alta-Ego of Nigel Armstrong,a South Island Trotting Enthusiast. Checkout His Facebook Page "Harness Racing Unhinged" Mantra says "we aim to bring you the human side of Harness Racing with humorous interviews of industry participants". There are dozens of recent vids to view.I just enjoyed watching interview with Jamie Dunberger-Smith of Summit Bloodstock,across from Aussie to attend The Jewels on a working holiday.They have clocked up almost 200 Wins in 18 months. Nigel Armstrong also gets many locals involved in Ownership via His Westview Syndicates. A recent success story lies in 4yo Mare Spellbound,raced here from Robert Dunn Stable 5wins/29 starts $128k. Crossed Tasman March 2021,joined Nathan Purdon Team. Races at Melton April/May resulted 1st.1st.1st.2nd & A$41k.🤑

Jonesy,partially correct. Zev Meredith began his Junior Career working for Brent Mangos,and drove his first winner Havehorsewilltravel at Cambridge Oct 2019,on his First Raceday. This was to be the only winner for his boss,and they parted company in 2020, Derek Balle became his new mentor,and this team has become much more successful,though I am unsure of the current status.

Seems 2012 3rd Placed Jack Trainor has followed Brodie's advice, Trained 1 x Winner and Drove 2 x Winners tonight at Penrith. Currently 9th on Australian Drivers National Premiership with 82 Wins/Stakemoney A$1.03million. (one win behind Danielle Hill,who has been mentioned earlier in this thread) Combines this with Training/resulting in 23 Wins this season.

Worthwhile Stake Money up for grabs,$40k. So no surprise Southerners keen to venture across The Cook Strait and compete.🤑🤑🤑

Yes,shame Andrew Fitzgerald didn't respond to be Champion Judge,as this may have enhanced my nomination Sheryl Wigg's chances.😜 3 Wigg 2 Herlihy 1 Hall Jnr

Jones,to update you on Aladdin,who you may have followed if still local,being by Sweet Lou.🤩 After competing in The Northern Derby back in March,he clocked a pair of seconds,then crossed The Tasman. Won first up at Mildura as $2.10 fav. Won week later at Globe Derby South Australian Derby $30k Group 3 as $1.10 fav.(Yes $1.10) Last Night at Menangle as $2.30 shot,broke in runup and lost all chance.

Kakama..wholeheartedly disagree.I think it is GREAT that Manukau Doggies Silver Collar Heats share TV Coverage with Jewels.
