Murray Fish

tick, it will be interesting to see how she handles all the travel and the hype on the day! What I'm keen to see, is off course, around how 'the talking heads' will handle Team Green! How will Colon handle his 15 minutes of fame!

I first saw him live at Riccarton in 73 winning the 2000G, then he came back and won the NZ Cup, perhaps the first really good horse I saw live! ps. Later when I started using the camera! I use to low watch Mr McEwan going about his business on raceday! 12 Gadge was a horse he was training then!

My rating system is different to most!!! I go on! a WOW scale! If 'my sporting eye' likes a horse! Perhaps I in 300? Then I try to get to know that horse? Then hope I can line it up in a race sometime! This Filly very much has that X factor! Normally I'm not really a fan of betting in those premarkets. But she really does seem to have it still all in front of her! ps, there is one market I bet into re 'a long way out', MLB, I have parlay a decent bet on Dogger$ to double up! lol, I've been offered a small take out at a profit before a pitch has been thrown!!!

and she had won way more $$$

wow that was the horse i was thinking about!

To me! I'm in hoping big for lots of actual coverage of each horse in the lead up for each race! Please! I note the 2pm kick in for Trackside premier, when does the 1st kick off?

(slightly changing tact) what be the Best horse that you have seen racing their?

that was a cut and paste from todays results at loveracing. how long does it take to update a rating? not something I follow!

Any estimates? Sathito rated 78 Pivotal Ten rated 78 Lecia Lucy rated 77 (more for today?) Sethito

at the 3 minute mark is the interview with acting CEO NZ Thoroughbred Darin Balcome. https://www.odt.co.nz/sport/racing/racing-chat/racing-chat-million-dollar-day-upon-us

https://www.odt.co.nz/sport/racing/racing-chat/odt-racing-chat-first-million-wingatui ODT Racing Chat, brought to you by Fred’s Fencing, was at Wingatui yesterday to watch the first ever million dollar day for the Otago Racing Club. Paul Dwyer caught up with slot holder Kerry Spence who has a horse running (Dealt With) in the $3.5 million mile at Ellerslie next weekend. We track down the winners and losers in the Fashion in the Field. We follow the antics of the Baaa Bar crew whose horse Pete’s Pride unbelievably won. PD also catches up with Barnaby Weir from the Blackseeds before their after party. So strap yourselves in!!

I have many stories I could share about Col,, over the years, I have (lol) had rather a lot of 'aliases', once, C was best friends with one! and enemy of the other!

a nice filly, 'under rated' badly in that years Free Handicap. Upsetting Col big time. I actually have a photo of him leading the filly back to scale? Oakfield? the big two year race at Ricc?

No... the be the one and only Shane Phillips

how much was your pri$e!!!!

Colons bane with the "OBC" and the Whales! goes way back to went he rode into the Waikato and got to 'play' with the then OBC and Wha... lol, or perhaps C got played! yip via Waller? Team OZ in Au?

$500000? more or less?

no, I was on course for that Wingatui win, she presented so well! she looked to be really enjoying herself!

I was just going to ask! It would be interesting to note the value of these top fillies that have been sold over the last couple of seasons? it seem all the top one now have such a high value that sell all or a % makes sense? ps, in spite of ownership, I have been a fan of the filly from the first second I saw her! how far can she go? both in distance and class?

(from the cheap seats) What has been interesting to see re this meeting, was the amount of advertising in local ODT, pages and pages, for this meeting and also from TAB. I presume so contra deal? For how long? ODT has U Bet printing field coverage for meetings in the South and have been producing a racing slot for local TV. Quite a few full page advt from team orange as well. Over the years different racing dates have been Big. For this century, Melb Cup day grew and grew and that lead to problems with police, more and more restrictions seem to have dimmed that day for the last couple of years. Further South, SRC big economic day is now very much their Xmas meeting, which isn't based around flash fields. It will be interesting to see the results of their last big meeting? historically, like most clubs that have been slow at understanding 'social media'. but are slowly improving. re 'realpolitik', Helpful being one of the modern 'chosen' clubs, it will be interesting to see how the balance sheets stack up!

sigh, a once great place. Quite mindboggling to ponder all the different problems at so many tracks/clubs in CD! wow! Role on next week up north eh!

What a smart buy by the Chitticks!

you be a hard marker! I thought the actual field has a lot of 'punting' interest! gee! Imagine of the green filly won!!!

sigh, one would hope so! when the trots held a meeting a few months back, I asked them if they planned to have a clean up! they said it was the gallops club job!
