  1. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/119288212/grace-millane-murder-leo-molloy-revealed-as-the-businessman-charged-with-breaching-name-suppression?cid=app-android&fbclid=IwAR2RNwsx0l3-8DoqmlF0x_WXUUl-_Ib7R4axXHUuJsZ-nlphQkRbkVwoZzw
  2. Oh wow, that is a little surprising. Might pay to just watch this one and see how it goes. Should have improvement to come.
  3. You take all things Leo says will a grain of salt. Such things as Helena Baby is a mid-winter hack and, here at HQ, we serve quality food.
  4. I guess it depends on how highly you rate Hong Kong form. I don't rate it re: Montaigne looking like a champion, now coming back down to earth. Probably a better field than I first thought, but Helena Baby has some toe.
  5. Should put a couple of lengths on this field.
  6. For those interested, Helena Baby makes his Hong Kong debut in Race 10 this Sunday.
  7. Shouldn't have been a false start. Just scratch Pinmedown, much better than the alternative.
  8. I'm spending my Xmas morning doing form for tomorrow and I wouldn't have it any other way. Merry Christmas to all BOAY members.
  9. He's more like a poodle. Dresses like a lesbian and is all bark and no bite.
  10. You're kidding? I immediately thought that deserved at least two weeks.
  11. He surely got suspended for that?
  12. On the other channel you have Berri (the queen bee) saying that it would be a great story to see Baby win. Yeah.... great story about being DQ'd and coming back to win the MC? Not quite a fairytale.
  13. Stick with the well-weighted European 4YO's masquerading as 3YO's. Il Paradiso fits the bill - just like Rekindling and Cross Counter.
  14. Frankel was good in the UK. Winx was good in Australia. I know the international ratings has racing in the UK and Aus higher than NZ, but please.. some of the fields Winx took on were made up 6/7 stayers from the Waller stable. I obviously see both sides of an argument. But, try not to degrade the likes of Melody Belle because she won't win a major Australian Group 1.
  15. So it applies only to New Zealand horses? It seems we're the only country that defines "class" but winning in a country that isn't our own.
  16. Why can't a horse hold a rating in its own country? Melody Belle is New Zealand's best-performed runner. Do they always have to win in Australia to be considered good?
  17. Interesting how highly Catalyst is being rated. Obviously his wins have been top quality, but against opposition you'd see midweek at Avondale. I'm unsure how his age-group form would stack up in Australia. I think you'd be surprised how quickly he comes back to earth racing against their far superior crop. However! Lovely type in the making and here's hoping he matures into a top performer.
  18. Interesting that Melody Belle's last 600 was the slowest of the day for the winners. Am I correct in saying that?
  19. You only need to hear the lass that calls the odd race from Healesville Hounds to know why they don't.
  20. Most bookies do this. All the Australian and UK bookies pay out early at some stage. Paddy Power being the most infamous with Tiger Woods vs. Y.E. Yang
  21. That's only for Triple Crown bets though? The publicity is worth more than the total payout.
  22. Just withdraw $999 or less. You can do this multiple times until your account is dry.
  23. They have deleted the thread over there?
