With the shooting of Charlie Kirk, the spotlight has been turned on freedom of speech. One question, if people's rights and freedom of speech is the cornerstone of democracy, why is America such a cot case

The article was about Mark Walker's unraced Caulfied and 1000 Guineas hopefuls and Damask Rose is a 4 year old. But I agree, the way she finished off from last at the 200m into 5th against some pretty good horses, augurs well. Not sure why they have Hostility as unraced, as 3 starts now in NZ, hardly earth shattering in the Colin Meads

2025 Industry Excellence Awards powered by Entain, celebrating New Zealand racing participants under the age of 40, recognizing the emerging leaders and high performers coming through in all three racing codes.

Even the anti-racing, anti-whales, anti-OBC protagonist CW sold out to Cambridge Stud with Pivotal Ten when enough money was put on the table

At least you still have a sense of humour Huey. Hope for you yet

That is correct, taken prior to him going to America for his final race

Way of the world I guess. Those buying with the intent of selling, support the local breeding industry, they support the local racing industry by paying trial fees to the club, training fees, jockey fees, float fees etc etc. The only thing that doesn't happen, is the horse racing in NZ

Is that a figure that would be typical at any point in time in NZ racing. Half the horses trialing in order to make them a better selling proposition

Broken leg, out for 2 months

Off topic, but the title of this thread made me laugh. You have renamed yourself the Premier Pro Racing Forum. That should upset the chicken dinners. I note a certain site keeps increasing in numbers every day, yet no new posters. As you know with these sites, you don't have to join to read them, so who is playing games?

Always surprising what the different horses that go to Aus do. Look at Roch 'N' Horse, goes over there, not expected to do well, but wins 2 G1's, beating Nature Strip. Some adapt; some don't

Too hard basket

That chicken dinner is a real bundle of joy isn't he. Is that their legacy in life, they didn't make it in the industry, so they are going to spend every waking moment picking holes in that industry.

Maybe so, but after a while you just become irrelevant and the people who are getting on with it, the new generations coming through, will just push you to one side. Not a great way to be as well.

Exactly, 'the horse did all the work' Love it when people say great ride. Vinnie Colgan on Lollapalooza in the Gold Trail was a great ride
