Gammalite

Thanks Blackie . The crowds are small these days. Last night while enjoying the Albion Harness racing on laptop I was also watching the Gabba Football Brisbane Lions V Gold Coast on TV which had it's usual big crowd. so a bit of clash there. (Lions too good and in Finals soon hopefully lol) I did receive texts on each night of the carnival from the trotting club. which they send to any interested party in a group ad to remind everyone that has been over the years that it is on . (The Constellations Carnival) so that was quite good , and might of generated some attendence's

Well picked Mate. and Luke McCarthy had a juniot driver as well , the young Jack Callaghan drive the fav for him too, into 2nd place .(Spirit of St Louis) and he beat Luke in earlier race too. Two Junior drivers quinella!! wow! in a Grand Circuit race !! the driving standard here in Oz is in great hands for more decades, Hart and Callaghan are both near 10/10 drivers already. The 2 juniors dead -heated in that race just above this post too. Cam Hart and Taleah Mc..

Paid $10 still , even though undefeated in 5 starts for the leading stable since joining them in April. Nzer COVER GIRL ran no-where unfortunately.

Wee Man Trouble !! the Nz trotter with the One NZ driver that bothered to turn up , wins the Group1. Luke Whittaker !!!! how great for the young man !!. surely someone in Nz there is impressed ? good on him.

With Number 10 Bettor Isolate bolting away with the 2nd race , Mikey bolts to the lead . That rocken boy Brodster was 'Rocken With Elvis' in 2nd spot so moves into equal 3rd in the points .

In each race 1st = 8pts, 2nd = 6pts, 3rd = 4pts, 4th = 3pts, 5th = 2pts, and 1 point for 6th. To win the Yellow I am having $10 EW on every horse for every player , and after race 8 (The grand Circuit BLACKS A FAKE G1) the person banking the most Winnings is the New BOAY Champion . Can the same player take both Green and Yellow ???? see you after 7pm NZ time to find out . good luck to all players! I will post result of points and divvies after each race for some riveting entertainment (like a NZ Le Tour on 2 wheels with added horse-power lol)

Fine and sunny for the big day ,fast racing tonight Albion. About forty NZ brand /bred horses in the 8 comp races , many owned by NZ connections tonight. Here's 6 of them that didn't make the field for the Group 1 , so are in the support race. MachD, AG, StarG, DeusEx, CastNoShadow, and LLcoolJ so will be a good battle in Race 7. MikeyNZ can have the Number 10's as has the NZ brand too, and Greyhound who won the most quiz in at 13's to complete the BOAY competition field. Will post a results thread with points (Green Jersey) and $10eachway On Every runner to see who (which number) gets the win (Yellow Jersey) . 2 winners tonight !! here's race 7.

Race 6 is the Group 1 Queensland Derby and If Amore Vita win's the Oaks for kiwi's Nathan Purdon and Rangatira in race 5, Ranga seems a big chance of the Daily Double with Luke McCarthy drawing 2 with the moderate South Island performer, (now grown a leg with Luke) in CANTFINDABETTORMAN. I can FindaBettorHorse though in LEAP TO FAME ,who hopefully will give the local champ Grant a big win. here's the field......... 2022 TAB QUEENSLAND DERBY (G1) 2680M $106,070 3YO. No NR. RBD.
