  1. My 'approach'was to lay Imperatriz,which proved a losing approach. Care to expand on how one would have made more by taking $1.80...use a staking example.
  2. Farnan is by Not A Single Doubt who is no longer available.Studs can set fees at whatever they think the market can bear. YYY's yearlings have sold very well...his fees 2022-$38,500 , 2021-$38,500 , 2020-$38,500 His 2023 fee is $33,000...mainly because he has a new competitor ,another Rubick stallion ,Grp 1 winner ,recently to stud....Jacquinot. $5,500 reduction makes sense and is neither here nor..there.
  3. No I would not have...and did not. Wheres a sledgehammer.....🤡...if one was big on Imperatriz winning...!!...but not impressed with $1.50.....one could easily have anchored the filly in exotic bets and profited nicely. You can fabricate any narrative you like....you just make yourself look ....very..shallow.
  4. Selective stats...Vancouver won grp races ,including the Slipper-stands for $11,000...!! Your point is?
  5. I didn't know before hand. I thought there were 3 dangers ,and was confident either Uncommon James or Asfoora would win.Rothfire the other contender. If you were sold on Imperatriz ....good money. The quaddie was $4.60-$1.30-$1.50-$10.20=$176.70
  6. Arguably top of the tree in this industry=Coolmore...what would..they know!🤪 ' The Everest has put a 3-year-old on top of the sprinting world, sending his potential stud value into the stratosphere." TDN AusNZ, 20th October 2019
  7. Disagree-$1.01 is ludicrous regarding the risk factor. Were you surprised at how good the exotics ..paid?
  8. ' It's a well known fact. Successful punters look for value. Hard to do that with exotics.' A good deal easier in an 8 horse field. Quinella $4-Asfoora Tri-$29.70-Asfoora,Uncommon James F4-$233.30 QUAD-$176.70 Treble-$23.10 Not forgetting Amelia's Jewel another $1.50 shot was a leg of the treble/quaddie. Looks like value to me.👈
  9. When were you appointed spokesperson for the majority of punters? I am loathe to cast aspersions on the mental dexterity that some commentators display,but have come to the conclusion that some are just a ...wee bit...thick!👈
  10. What alleged' winnings would they be ,then Chief? I layed her and lost. I will spell it out ,so that a 2.y.o can understand it.People who fancied Imperatriz but couldn't back her outright because she was so short ,could have taken quinellas,trfectas,first4's,trebles,quaddies and made money....the divvys were very good. Get it?🙄
  11. Comprehension ,Chief...yes you picked a winner but it was too short for you to back.... Quinella 7:8 4.00 Trifecta 7:8:3 29.70 First4 7:8:3:2 233.30
  12. Ouch!!!.What a win,great ride by Bosson and really showed her class. Went past Uncommon James so easily. It should be off to the races/Everest now. Good exotics around her for the keen.💲
  13. I was in hospital for 1 month a few years ago.My experience regarding nurses is first ...hand. As for consultants...I agree with this definition...'a consultant is someone who will borrow your watch...and then tell you the...time!'.
  14. Interesting.A senior surgeon told me a few years ago that there was plenty of funding in the health sector available. Their observation was that it was poorly allocated. Senior doctors call off strike, cardiologist takes aim at 'overpaid' health executives | Stuff.co.nz
  15. Personally I think the the frontline nurses working shifts in our hospitals should be paid more than G.P nurses.
  16. All politicians talk rubbish. You may have noticed since Labour has been in power teachers,nurses,police and plenty of others have had significant pay increases. In Labours first term I asked a teacher who was on strike why they didn't take such action when the Natz were in power for 9 years! Her reply....because we knew we would get...nowhere. Just before the 2017 election the Natz promised new roads/bridges in the far north after years of doing nothing. John Key to Rodney Hide says it all...'we're not really intersted in policy...Rodney'...just in being ...better managers.' As for you not voting until age 58....remarkable.Not sure what your vocation is but if you are not in the 1% ......any good legislation introduced in your lifetime that was significant will be down to...Labour.(Muldoons super bribe exempt)
  17. How many of those are in...NZ?
  18. Well it depends on how you define 'champion'.Imperitraz does not warrant that label atm....imo. Alot of people think the AB's are 'champions' too....I guess you may be one that thinks they'll win the...W.C!🤪
  19. Clearly Ellis has not categorically stated that she will definitely not start.
  20. They would offer more because of her form=her chances of winning.! The Moir has a total stake of $815,000 ....how many times would she have to win that to equal even the 2nd prize in the Everest.
  21. Yes.She shouldn't be in the market if Ellis is serious.Gamesmanship imo.
  22. No ,the fact I don't think she will win is irrelevant...market says she's a home run. My assessment of the variables and her price ,tell me she's a..lay. Feel free to post your 'money for jam' bet on...her.😁
