All The Aces

Brent won on Perhaps for Colin Jillings. Opie was an apprentice when he won the Auckland Cup on Jezabeel.

Quite a number and don't forget the travelling factor also. As for trials, they keep getting called off.

The three week gap suits most. A lot of horses are having their first run for the season the first day and a three week gap gives them more time to recover. The current dates suit if the meetings are being held at Hastings as the Bay has better spring weather and in fact it would have been a good track both days so far this year if the races had been held there.

It will be run at Matamata on 15th October

Spotted photos of the HOTY Awards. La Dorada Named Champion 2yo

How does a horse push past it's ability??

So which Te Akau 2yo wins Champion 2yo at the Awards next month?

Is he over hyped and actually good enough to win a G1 in Australia? His debut win was very impressive but he has only just won his next three. Fell in to win the Sistema, another stride he was beaten. Very fortunate the filly was scratched in that.

Not sure why anyone really cares to be honest. Why are people getting their tits in a tangle? There is no official award or prize to the best of my knowledge and certainly no mention of it in the awards at Horse Of The Year next month. NZTR only shows National tallies for both trainers and jockeys throughout the year.

40 million over 3 years for 1500 greyhounds. That works out over $26,600 per greyhound or nearly $9000 a year per dog assuming every dog hasn't found a home by then.

Why should Entain be made to pay? Abolishment of greyhound racing had nothing to do with them.

Thankfully Sam is alright and hopefully will be released tomorrow. Heard today that Triston was due to be released from hospital either today or tomorrow also. Hoping for a quick recovery for both.

I think of the 43 who went around only one horse actually fell, that being Nightfall. However the standard of jumping overall wasn't flash but I put that down to the man made erected fences and not having live brush fences.

Tragically killed in a road accident in Hamilton this afternoon. Very sad.

Surprised nothing has been said so far. Another photo finish fiasco at Pukekohe today. Utter shambles.
