  1. Bad luck or good management by John Dunn in that race. He could have kicked up behind the leader in that race but pulled straight back off the gate and Judine ended up with that spot.
  2. You really are behind the times. Shannon got booted out months ago
  3. Yes to everyone except the people in charge.
  4. At the snails pace they move at there is going to be at least another two or three million added to the debt before they even put it on the market again.
  5. Same would probably apply to the lads from Europe jumping on the pacers.
  6. 5.50 for Republican Party first NZ horse home three or four months ago when Leap To Fame was so short was great value and me and a few mates jumped on that. I see the option is gone now.
  7. Never come off the trail at Cambridge onto the back of the parked horse. H Moralde Sands on Grace Elegance was sitting pretty in the trail and was going to win and I thought I was only a place chance with Ordained, but miracle of miracles and the trail horse rolled off the fence into a not so good position behind the parked horse and the one I backed got home easily up the fence at 31.00. Racing is a funny game sometimes. I could write a book on horses coming off the rails from the trail or three deep the fence and getting beaten by the horse behind them. At least 4 or five every week.
  8. I can run the 100m in about 12.5 seconds. If I spend a bit of time out at Bronsons place I might be able to break 10secs in a month.
  9. 57.4 and 27.8 with plenty in the tank. Pretty sure I just saw him on his way home.
  10. Still can't pull it up
  11. I would be prepared to back against just with Bronson driving. Would have to lead to be any chance and it has not shown any gate speed in previous runs at Addington. Might be another Steel Jaw the way the money is going on.
  12. Dover Terrace 27 starts for two placings and $15.00 into $2.40. Fastest last half at Addington in six runs has been 59.80. Can they improve it at least two seconds over the last 800. A normal Addington run is 3-4bk inr,detached tn,weakened. Add in Bronson Munroe has a driver UDR of .1350 so not great. It will be interesting but a few things against.
  13. The last two years have been no different with Swayzee! Seems he isn't coming and then suddenly here he is. Even paid a late entry one year. I hope they both arrive it would make it one of the best cup fields we have had.
  14. Would have to improve to win the NZ Cup on that run. Probably the best stayer in the Cup field but as you say a death seat run could see him get beat again.
  15. Wins if he clears the fence probably.
  16. I am not slandering anyone I am saying well done if you can get away with it
  17. So 10% bought for $10,000 and selling that 10% for $150,000. Yeh not convinced that horse is worth $1.5million dollars lol 😂 Well the people he is selling these to will not know the difference probably, good racket if you can get away with it.
  18. They are back must switch them off over night or something
  19. Have they dismissed the great initiative already? Odds not there this morning
  20. All depends on the dollars and cents. Give us more details. Has he purchased for 10,000 and selling 1000 shares at 10 then what's the problem. If he is selling 1000 shares for 1000 then yes that is a money grab. More details
  21. 4k down the drain in the first go. You would think if they are backing a dog they would take something can ping the traps and lead 100% of the time.
  22. Badly driven
  23. Unfortunately 2 x maybe $1500 trifectas do not = the $10,900 we saw on the weekend so it would encourage me and most other exotic punters to bet less for sure. The winner of the 17 horse field came from near last so every horse has a chance in those big fields on grass. I agree back runners on grit tracks will always struggle due to the speed bias up front.
  24. I personally love the big numbers and wish there were 24 in a race like the old days. You will notice the Trifecta pool in that race got up over 27K the highest of the days New Zealand racing including gallops. If there were only 14 in the race the pool would have been only three quarters of that. The race was a good watch and the winning horse came from near last on the turn so I say the more horses the merrier.
