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

    So which Te Akau 2yo wins Champion 2yo at the Awards next month?
  3. All The Aces
    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.

    I think the wording of the last sentence would suggest Hastings will be ok. "While the Triple Crown of Group 1s being moved to Ellerslie and Awapuni may alarm Hawke’s Bay racing fans, the Herald understands NZTR will make an announcement in coming weeks about the future of racing at Hastings."

    Blinkers on worked a treat on Saturday. Zelia had been beaten by Best Rose in her previous two starts, the latter by three lengths. But with blinkers going on she thrashed Best Rose by five and a half lengths. That's an eight and half length turn around. David Walsh stated when galloping her in blinkers it gave him a Courier Bay feeling. That is some wrap.

    Don't think taking her dress off will help with selections Freda.
  16. All The Aces
    No show in the Slipper. A stride past the post on Saturday he was beaten. He was lucky the stablemate had to be scratched as she would have beaten him.

    It was great to be there yesterday, great racing, excellent crowd and a buzz all around the course. Having the above performers in the birdcage did raise a number of negative comments from people and also asking why they were there. One wag said they are here too late. The Otaki-Maori wfa Classic was run two weeks ago.

    The following races remain open until 9am Wednesday 26 February: - R65 1600m - 2YO SW+P 1100m NZTR in conjunction with the club will look to run a consolation ($25,000) R65 1600m providing there are sufficient numbers at withdrawal time. If a horse gains a start in the $40,000 R65 1600m it must start in that race, or alternatively come out of both races. Horses double nominated into the ODT Southern Mile Final hold their ballot order in this race.

    They started with a good 4 and got rain coming in during the programme. The odds of abandonment when that occurs is pretty high.

    An Irishman has beaten the Kiwi's to the punch I believe Thomas.

    Don't you feel sorry for Bruce Wallbank who owns and trains Midnight Edition who dead heated for first in the Auckland Guineas at Ellerslie today only to lose the race in the enquiry room. I thought it was a tough decision against Bruce who trains just the one horse and has had a horses to the races only 23 times beginning in the 2008/9 season but I guess the big boys weren't happy to share the stakes win and put in a protest and I guess we all knew how that was going to end up. Tough luck Bruce. Your horse went a great race.

    I heard that she has left Te Akau. I believe she is heading overseas next year to pursue another career. Freelance track rider in the interim.

    Horses from Hastings and New Plymouth have been trialing at Foxton for years Others have started to come from Cambridge to ensure they do a trial start with numbers in the Waikato. From a sale point they also see it as easier to win at Foxton.
  24. All The Aces
    And Cambridge. No one wants to trial on synthetic tracks in summer. Ridiculous even scheduling them.
  25. All The Aces
    And he will piss in too.
