Here's another horse with a big Cup day win .....

That is the one Brodie . worth a $10 credit to you. Photo of him at Ashburton. before heading to Addington and winning the Cup at a later date. Don't forget to put some picks (2 per race) on the ENTRY THREAD Nz Cup for Tuesday mate . (you just won a $10 credit to your total for identifying the horse ....

The Big Day is close ! The Nz Cup is on the line Tuesday and Chief Stipe has kindly pinned an ENTRY thread to try and pick the card . (2 picks each per race). the true kiwi 'Stayers ' will be backing up on Show Day to see the trotters go the distance too. Free entry ! all for a bit of fun . couple of good sports in already (don't forget yours Chief) Meanwhile here's an old boy who is a Nz Cup hero . Bet nobody can pick this one lol?

A big call forbs 😯, but you could be right . They Allstars did get rolled last year when I thought they would win. but got the trifecta for $10 with them the year before. Excellent ! you got Melbourne Cup Tri ! I did ok but not the Tri this time . Did last year with beautiful Nz horse Veery Eleegant though. (Qlder Incentivise 2nd) Hoping for an Aussie Quinella in Nz Cup next week lol. that would be fun to stir a few kiwi mates. I only came over for one Nz Cup with a horse and we Won it. very nice. (wasn't Gammalite ) Gammalite had 2 cracks but was off 10m and then 30m handicaps back in the day. bit too hard against the best in New Zealand.

Free entry. Pick the card Cup Day and Show day at Addington ( Next Tuesday and Friday) to be the 'BOAY Cup week Champion' . 2 picks Per Race per player. Total of what $40 (2 x $10ew bets) per race invested would nett. Scratchings onto the Fav subs Should be fun seeing who comes out with the most winners . Enjoy the Racing !! Entry needs just a race number and 2 x horse numbers. Tuesday Fields are Out Already . Enter now if you want. e.g Race 1 / 3 + 4

Well yes and no. You guys are just that used to Nat (or Mark) winning half the card yuz are saying they are under-performing. I think the other stables have just caught up a bit and are running good times (looking at Telfer Barn mainly) lso say the Allstars performance is still very high. Yet another Auckland Cup this year with Nat winning with Self Assured (thats 7 (seven !!) in a row of those for Allstars) and the very rich prize-money 'The RACE 'was run at Cambridge for the first time. Won by guess who ?? Millwood Nike could be a Superstar . still unbeaten. Others have Good draws Sires stakes Tuesday too , so watch out for them .....so still an EXCELLENT year for a bad one ?..... good on em' really. producing such a high standard for so long. AND good luck with your quaddie anyway as well Forbs.

Com'on guys lets fire up a bit for the big week . 🏆 How about a tipping comp ? I'm quite happy to run results after each race Cup day and Show day. How do you think we should do it ? Maybe 2 Picks each per race?.... across the whole card with $10 ew on each one ? seems pretty easy. Most earnings at the end of the 2 days wins the prize.!!!!!!!!!!🏆💰 ( I have a lot of harness horse magazines I could post to the lucky winner, might even be bonus silverfish in them lol) Anyone Interested in a BOAY tipping Comp for the 2 days ?? .....you out there Mr galah, Blackie, hunter, Ranga, anyone ?........ Let us know here so we can see if any interest thanks

Well Forbs might scoff at Allstars there lol... but since they have won 6 of the past 8 Nz Cups (and ran 2nd in the other 2) I can look no further than number one . A previous Cup winner and current Auckland Cup champion over the 3200m stand , to be driven by near the best driver in the world ???? No need to look any further ... I just stopped at One . Should get a gun trip from there . Onya Nat !!

Warloch wins the Nz Yearling Sales race at 66-1 . (Go Sam ! isn't she great? 3 wins I think yesterday) Probably the Russian Government MOTO with Putin in charge, more than Qld.

Chief ! you're alive ?, and Forbs too. With Dexter cleaning up in the States you guys are rightly springing back into action to acknowledge the best horse and driver in the world. (harness) Hey and Mr Waller(best in the world Gallops) has been winning the Caulfield Cup and Derby too, and doesn't always need JMac ? the ex-pat young kiwi Mickey Dee taking the HUGE plums . Always followed him as is a great little jockey. Missed the 2 punts though but did pop a hundy on Old Flame for Jmac lol . bless him. so are you winning the Nz Cup , or letting the Aussies take the spoils ?

Sam Ottley In the ALLSTAR's colours R8. 🏆 .god bless em for listening to me lol......💰

Hey good to see you put the 'reverse' moz on her .!! a nice win. Sheree winning the 1st race at Ashburton just now with a 40-1 shot. Dexter not the first from the great kiwi families, after the young Herlihy and the young Wolfendon to abandon the kiwi shores for big careers in the states. One young Purdon (Nathan) doing fabulously well in Aus . and the other one Michael just won a feature trot a minute ago with Mystic Max. Give him more horses I say. It's in the blood to Win !!!

Just had a look to see who did best tonight with their teams. If we had 2nd round. DAVIS is the star with his girl Sarah O'Reilly getting The Bloss home first in the trot tonight, and Carter Dalgety also getting Krug up off 40m behind handicap (that is impressive) , plus 4 second placings too, so the 'Juniors' Team wi n comprehensively tonight. 🏆🥇💰 Mikey running 2nd with Team 'Williams'. Tim with a lot of placings tonight. The Horseman and Unhinged with a couple of wins each for their teams were in next. Followed by the Galah with a Blair Orange Win and Hunter with a Robbie Close Win and Ranga with the outsider driven by his man Morrison also saluting. then Gammalite a couple of Sam Ottley 2nds First round winner Chief Stipe had No Northerners to Cheer home tonight. Zac Butcher got 4th a couple of times to give him 4 pts for the NorthIsland team. **Blackie a Big Fat Zero (Zip, nought, 000 ) with 'Marky Boy' sitting back in a recliner chair somewhere , not turning up.💣 Stitched up again Blackie ????😄😉

Yes that was a made up lot of rubbish. The 'Expert' selectors here on the racing shows were saying all along "That's the Best Draw for him" etc .absolute Tripe. I thought working across was the worst possible result draw for him (or any horse) in a high pressure Top class horse race where Eduardo was always gunna be on the pace. always looked 'posted' . Very happy for the winner though , as NS did have his glory day last year in it, (as well as Royal Ascot bless him) so always great to see New Excited Owners and connections take the win. Willow did very well too, rode GIGA KICK a treat and gave up a Caulfield Cup ride to do it.

A great exhibition of driving last night . by all the stables. Many favoured runners using the benefit of stablemates to advantage. All AmericanLover -BD Joe combo. Republican Party got nice trip courtesy of Invitation Only. Sinbad-Sherlock. The Halberg - Southern Diamond combo was excellent. Akuta- Franco Mac. 4 Quinellas right there amongst that lot. Best staying performance ? probably Don't Stop Dreaming ? 2nd from the bad alley draw. Best Performance ? Muscle Mountain !! put him in the Interdominion surely? He'd win It easy.

Things happen quickly. The photos above look like those farms have high areas. I'm surprised they still show horses in the water. walk them up to the house maybe? Happens in Nz too. Friend of mine Andy Neal a good harness trainer lost 12 horses once training at Blenheim which gets flooding up there by Nelson at times. I had photos of 4 horse legs sticking out of the water upside down, as they tangled in the wire fences and flipped over trying to swim to safety. heart breaking stuff. Shifting a large amount of horses in a short time is No Easy Task. and making the call to do it in the first place is difficult. Every rain event is slightly different. been a lot in Oz this year too.

What a great nights racing !!! Chief Stipe the Winner with 3 winners for the North Island . (Gamma 2nd with 2 winners /3 x 2nds) And all the teams scored well. Blackie hoping for that Elusive trophy relying on Marky Boy. but a fraction short mate . good try !!. Hunterthe Punter nailing the last race with a Bob Butt runner in 'Happy Place' winning. FINAL Tally then.......... A packed field !!!!!!!! it was hard to pick the winner. !! 5 teams within 2 points . Thanks for playing . Really great trotting action tonight . Thank-you. Chief Stipe 34pts, Gammalite 34 pts, Blackie 32 pts (oh so close but No Cigar ? 😉), Hunter 32, Mikey 32 pts, The Galah 24pts , Unhinged 18, The Horseman 16, Davis 14, Ranga 4,

2 for Zachary and 1 for Benjamin . Thanks for that Blackie. what a great family!! . I raced against John Butcher on occasion. What a fine man he is. Think David still races in his colours.

Mark heard you were on for the win Blackie so drove a hard 3rd . lol.. 3rd for you too ?
