copilot says, horse races in nz that have lost their group one status? Yes, there have been a few notable horse races in New Zealand that have lost their Group 1 status. One prominent example is the Auckland Cup, which was downgraded to Group 2 status after the 2020/21 season. This change was part of a review by the New Zealand Pattern Committee to ensure races meet certain standards1. Other races that were downgraded include the Easter Handicap (from Group 2 to Group 3) and the Rotorua Cup (from Group 3 to Listed status). Additionally, several Group 1 races for two and three-year-olds, such as the New Zealand Derby, NZ 1000 Guineas, NZ 2000 Guineas, Levin Classic, and Manawatu Sires' Produce, have received warnings for not meeting the minimum race rating expectations. It's a bit sad to see these changes, but it's all part of the effort to maintain high standards in horse racing. Do you follow any particular races or horses?

Brilliant Career!

doh! I didn't bet into the race! scared off by the weather! thought the track was going to play a lot slower than that time! I think class won through on the day!

smart buy!

something so shown in that video series on Ciaron Maher Stables

perhaps a area were the bigger stables have advantages via experience.

can be a problem at a track with minimum staff, if the area being watered, is way over on the far side! sometimes! there can be a steady wind and the water doesn't go on evenly... Not good if it was a Attack!

throw a dog a bone to keep them happy!

I enjoyed listening do this! (23 mins long)

i wonder what 'a sweat spot' might be? what % of profit from the day is got via people being oncourse? what % of betting on course is now done through phones?

no odds up at tab for this race

the filly is not nominated?

as shown by the skid mark LS left on the track!!

have you watched the video of yet?

not to sure if it will start at the 45.30 mark, where the video looks at the riders being dislodged...

ouch...

I like to how the Club has a person putting in the effort to have a uptodate and active facebook page!

she took my eye when she won that first race (in the photo at the top) @Wingatui and has continued to take my eye in the next two wins! More in store I recon!

A genuine HOF rider! 🎖️ All the best for what happens next.

I suggest that you catch the video footage of the massive slip of horse coming down outside and the other horse inside reacted to that! wow!

doted I's and crossed tees... or, does the database need to have some space between places?

(from the cheap seats) I actually thought that the 'public stand' looked to well used! Wish I was their! Did find the winner of the distance maid... yee ha! Very keen now for the the G1 talking 'old school': interesting to hear comments from talking heads at the other meetings, talking about how both days being important historical days, umm! Boxing day use to be Massive at Awapuni, and that date has held its own! it will be interesting to see who gets the date next season? Wingatui, is now 'no byo', umm.. hence the crowds...

I first came across him back around? mid 80's, lol, to my eye, he had that Work Hard Action man drive!!! so needed to be driving a beast like you have named above! He be entitled to be wearing a pretty big Hat should he chose to!!!

na, economic determinism will win out...
