Gammalite

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.

The McCarthy barn stamps their class with a masterclass from the 2 outside barriers. BRODIE storms to the lead accordingly, a great judge of pace .... Brodster 15 pts leads Davis 11, Mikey and Ranga 10, The Galah 7, Chief 6, Gamma 4, Blackie and Taupiri 3, Karrots 2, Hunter sneaks in 6th so gets a point from Race 3. in the points Comp. With a $62 divvie there from the Fairy , Brodie leads now with $83, Davis picked up $48 from the pole to be on $67, followed by Gamma $33, Ranga $27, Mikey $25, Galah $22, Chief $14 in the yellow jersey divvie comp. Next up is a feature the Group 1 QLD Trotters Cup !!!! can't wait.

1.51.3 for the mares in race 3. Com'on Brodie , you know you love this mile racing mate. ? lol. FAIRY TINKABELL flying off the barrier 7 like a fairy and winning by 2 lengths from Luke McCarthy stable-mate from NZ THE HONEY QUEEN. Impressive stuff in fast time by the mares...

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 . Gammalite plucking the $33 for 3rd in race 2, moves into the divvie lead momentarily. After 2 races Mikey 10, Ranga 8, Davis and Brodie 7, Chief 6, Gamma 4, Taupiri 3, Karrots 2, The Galah 1 point in the points comp. Gamma $33, Ranga $27, Mikey $25, Brodie $21, Davis $19 and Chief Stipe $14 in the divvies comp....

The Number 10 wins the 2nd for Mikey by 5 lengths !! didn't worry about the turn . Just rounded them up down the backstraight. (Bettor Isolate from Victoria.) Hey those cyclists are tougher than horses . been watching the tour the last 2 weeks from France and those blokes are simply amazing 😯

Race 1 The hot favurite hangs on with the Captain only 3rd darn it. Only a $10 trifecta 😟. Points see Rangatira lead on 8pts, Chief 6 pts, Davis 4 pts, Taupiri 3 pts, Mikey 2 pts, Brodie 1 pt. For the Divvies for Comp win, Ranga only got $27, Chief $14 and Davis $19 from their $10ew

Well it's about time another Aussie takes yellow. Gammalite won most of his races parked out. 🙂😎😊

Final Field = Davis 1, Ranga 2, Hunter 3, Chief 4, Gamma 5, Galah 6, Brodster 7, Blackie 8, Taupiri 9, MikeyNZ 10, Karrots 11, Paleface 12, Greyhound 13. Races 1-8 @ Albion Park ,Brisbane. These are the horse numbers you have for the first 8 races on the program. Points allocated to win the Green (as in Tour De France which has the Best / fittest sportsmen on the planet) just like BOAY lol. 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.

That is sharp improvement alright by Global Flight. Narissa McMullen a very good horseperson from a family that is just as good as the Rasmussen Clan in Queensland. and you've seen in NZ how good a Rasmussen can be. Narissa would get a lot of help from brother Pete. Pete has some of the best results with trotters. Pete Won last Tuesday with his newbie from kiwiland KING OF THE NORTH in 1.57 odd. Funny thing is they had a huge Plonk on the horse every run since end of June, and only 2nd first 2 Aussie starts but won the other 2 starts during the past 10 days ok , so they have got a little bit back at least lol . He is gunna be a good one here. This QLD CUP trot has another ex-pat kiwi WEE MAN TROUBLE in too on Saturday night , so a sneaky chance for Blackie , following through behind DOFF YOUR CAP. but lovely if Brittany's trotter takes it out...

Race 4 sees the trotters go round, and we can see why it's Best to race your trotter in Australia rather than NZ>>> Examples DOFF YOUR CAP . last year racing in South Island NZ had 15 starts for 1 win and $20,000. then This year in Aus has had 8 starts for 4 wins and $43,000 in prizemoney. CREDIT MASTER , last year in North Island NZ had 10 starts for 1 win and $16,000. This year in Aus has had 6 starts for 3 wins and $64,000. And they look the Quinella chance in this race ??

Harry now owned by the 'Skychanel' lady , the lovely Britney Graham who interviews the drivers at the race starting points.

Paleface Adios likes the Hewitt's so can have the Alley 12 in the BOAY championship. This get 's their fast horse ROCKIN MARTY in the big race, and old Bob Butt trotter LOTAMUSCLE in race 4.

Race 3 on the card will be for the mares and The Galah might be on song here with Australia's leading stable now looking after the Great NZ north Island mare THE HONEY QUEEN , from the 6 Alley. owned in Auckland by John and Trish Green and the Hughes es .

Think Captain Crusader should of won last week IMO. had $10 ew at 50-1 here. wasn't a great drive by Rickie at all. Young Will Rixon will be winning from the pole in race 1 I reckon.

Best of Luck . the lucky Chinese 8 . is all yours and bound to go close. Ex-pat kiwi 'Deus Ex' one of yours. I'll post the points after each race on Saturday night.

Possibly Better Eclipse to win ? racing well and drawn 8 behind the 'Bunny' stable-mate ,old kiwi horse Triple Eight , which might be sacrificed and hold the lead at all costs. over 2680m this time round, the outside runners would be mad to go full gas early on you would think.

The big night Saturday Night of the year at Albion , and to celebrate the Grand Circuit Event the Group 1 The Blacks A Fake, here's a small comp for some Fun .. The 'front' row Barrier draw has been done for the 'Stalwarts' of BOAY harness racing. The second row still has vacancies for those that might like a number. RULES. a/ players have the same horse number , every race, from race No 1 through to Race 8 The Blacks A Fake Grand circuit event. (so a max of 8 horses) b/ Points given each race 8 pts for 1st placing, 6 pts for 2nd, 4 pts for 3rd, 3 pts for 4th, 2 pts for 5th, 1 pt for 6th. c/ The winning BOAY poster will be the player with the most points after race 8 Saturday night at Albion Park Brisbane. and wins the Barrier Draw (you have the same horse number every race ) Number 1's DAVIS , Davis kicks off in race 1 with one of his favourites in 'Captain Crusader' (a huge chance) and 'Triple Eight' in the feature race. Number 2's RANGATIRA , Ranga has a fine selection of 2's including kiwi trainer Nathan Purdon with his fine filly 'Amore Vita' in the QLD Oaks. Number 3's HUNTERthePUNTER, Hunter has a great show with 'Credit Master' in the trotters Cup and kiwi 'Spirit of St Louis' in the feature race too. Number 4's CHIEF STIPE, the Chief in with a rough chance , and could be 'Kashed Up' after the first race. 'A G's White Socks' carrys kiwi hope for him as well. Number 5's GAMMALITE , drawn out a bit so will be under pressure, but if 'Ronaldo' wins the first race it could be Goal ! goal! goal ! lol. Number 6's THE GALAH, caught wide out The Galah will have to 'Turn It Up' in the big race to take victory. He is a real Raconteur though.! so might win Race 1. Number 7's BRODIE, the Brodster virtually No chance from this alley, but is does go off 'Like A Wildfire' so gets him in the Big race, and he's 'Rockin With Elvis' in race 2 so can't half be bad Brodster !! he might put you back 'In the Ghetto or 'Heartbreak Hotel though .....lol.... The second row draws of numbers 8 to 13 are still open for any interested players ??? (some good horses drawn there too) pick your number and join up ?? @Blackie? , @Greyhound?, @Walt? @Mikey? @Happy Sunrise? ..anyone? just let us know here.... if you're interested

Mango had a few whip indescretions that were dealt with .and McKendry too? also in the opposite boat to what you are talking ? He didn't get lenient treatment for a drive recently where copped a severe penalty for a race mistake tactic ?. So feel you are being harsh with 'Preferential treatment ' by Northern stewards accusation.? Personally, I would of penalised AGH for the Krug drive that sent a couple of runners galloping madly at the first turn last year (which I think you pointed out at the time) so seemingly he got off on that occasion because of reputation , when another junior or less experienced driver or whatever, would of had the book thrown at him/her. so yes , some merit in your thoughts there I guess.

Think you have Ice in your veins Mr Galah , as this harness racing great keeps on bringing em' home . Bolting with Brilliance is young Tony. A very cold drive you are saying?

What's going on ? The poms just beat the Wallabies 2-1 here in Oz as well as the Irish winning there ? I blame covid lol.... f..ed everything else up 😉. One Fan on side-line here, blamed the England coach Eddie Jones (former Oz coach) for being a traitor straight after the match , and security was needed to keep them apart ! lol... at least there was something funny happening 😂

No , you didn't miss it afterall !! Glenbogle of course his travelling stable-mate for big long time with Kevin Fairbairn. Glenbogle was 4th in Interdominion trot Grand final 2005 Auckland, and Whatsundermykilt 3rd in 2006 Moonee Valley, 3rd in 2007 South Aus, 4th in 2008 Moonee Valley, 3rd in 2009 Moonee Valley Interdominion Trot Grand Finals.
