Broke dead even , if Count De Rupee had held on would had a good result but not complaining . 2 bets for me tomorrow at Ashburton , Fastamosa and Synchronize .

Will Incentivise do a Vow and Declare? Lay him at your peril.
nomates replied to Chief Stipe's topic in Galloping Chat
Incentivise has drawn 16 in the cup , VE drawn 19 , not great for either . -
Not bad for a man out of form . Great to see D Oliver have a great day also .

$7 starts in NZ for 6 wins and 147k , 5 starts in Aus for 2 wins and 308k .

Fantastic training effort , 2 races this season , 1300 and 1600 into 2500 and won like a freak .

I'm the same , when i do back them as i said the other day the jocks here don't handle short odd fav's so invariably i lose , i much prefer to find long shots , not that my record is that much better , just when i do win the feeling of satisfaction is much greater
-
Beanzed again , your clearing a path for some of these favs .
-
Just a bloody classy horse , get her a long way .

I don't understand what 10's has to do with it , if you think it can win , which i did , you back it at the best price you can get , if it wins and you haven't backed it then there is only one loser . I pick the horse i think can win a race then i look for the best price i can get , even if that means i'm sitting by my computer till right on start time . I'd be more pissed if it won and i didn't back it because i thought it should be longer .

There's a problem somewhere , if not then she has not really come up but i would think they would have seen something . Sometimes fillies , especially the good 3yo's , just don't come up as 4yo's for whatever reason . She hasn't even been racing 12 months . Maybe her body is just not coping and needs more time . I remember Mick Preston had a very good filly many years ago called Lady Primrose , i think , was one of the better 3yo fillies , anyway just never came up as a 4yo , and he said it happens , you just have to be patient , give them time out and they often come back as older mares and perform very well .

I got some , thought he was well over on his last 2 runs , congrats to the Clotworthy's , great decision to send him over .
-
Your looking at one .

HR as a punter if you have backed that horse and couldn't see that it wasn't packing it in , which is what i thought it had to do the way it had run thru the first 800 , but more importantly i could see that none of the others were making any substantial headway by the 200 , so it was clear that it had the race . Now the jockey on top only had to take a couple of looks to see pretty much the same , i am not suggesting he had to ease up , but a couple of slaps over the shoulder would have kept her up to her work . I can guarantee none of them were 10 clear with 150 to run , 2 or 3 maybe .
-
Yeah got it , we already are , but i meant professionally , these guys are their castoffs .
-
A white elephant , it fits in with the rest of the circus .
-
10 lgth clear , 150 to go , everything else struggling , one small look tells him he can look after her . Not suggesting he ease up but a slap over the shoulder would have done . Opie wasn't 10 clear and the horses were running on , he got cocky .
-
I am finding it harder for sure , and i wasn't joking when suggesting that possibly the best thing for NZ racing was to have it administered from Australia .
-
Mentioning T Yanagida , watched him in the first race and was quite angry at him , he was on the winner 10l clear with a 150 mtrs to go , never looked behind to see what was happening but gave the 3yo filly 3/4 decents hits behind the saddle when really not required , i hate seeing horses get hit when they are clearly beaten and just as unnecessary when going to win easily .
-
Keep trying , came from a mile off them and buried them , smart horse ,no excuses .
-
And then we get to watch Callum Jones absolutely slaughter Tavi Mac , WTF are these guys thinking about when they are riding . It's so bad it's not even funny . AS will rip him a new one , i can see why he doesn't ride too many of the stable horses .
-
They kept lumping it on , obviously not reading BOAY .
-
Let Aussie's run us ? wouldn't be the worst idea .
-
Then i watch a race at Tauranga R4 which shows everything that is wrong with race riding in NZ and shows that the apprentices are obviously not learning anything , T Yanagida riding Caramella , lobs outside the leader , perfect , then the Fav who is 3 wide moves to go forward Yanagida rides his horse to try and keep him out , why ? take the sit in the 1x1 , perfect but he's riding his hard for nothing , drops right out , yeah he stuffs the fav but at what cost to the owners and punters of Caramello . Will he get a talking to from the stipes or Harris , doubtful , see this crap all to often and not just from apprentices . Simply not good enough .
-
Just seen the field for the G# 80k race at Te Rapa on Tuesday , WTF ! this is hitting new depths , no better than an average Saturday handicap . We have serious issues that need addressing .
-
I think she will stretch out once the Aus punters start . 12's last time i looked .
