She looks very stylish, hey Ranga?
-
C'mon Rangatira, I think Cran has only won one VIC Oaks, not too long ago.
-
Hi Galah Can you elaborate on this, when & what race?
-
I just can’t, I just can’t, I just can’t help myself. Bulldog Hanover with Double D up.
-
Surely Rangatira has got the chocolates by now, been brilliant all week! Gammalite was a brilliant stayer but how much more pain can Gammalite take? We’ll find out.
-
👏
-
Top named horse that one winning there, the real deal. Maybe 2nd horse should be called Place4U.
-
Come in Rangatira 😎 , Oamaru right there.
-
That shot there of her is more like the Queen Consort of Addington, under the Norwest sunshine of Canterbury, with the biggest saddlecloth number, just about to do battle with the horse drawn 1.
-
When she came past me at the 200m mark in ‘that ‘ Cup, she had a length on the leader….what a time to be a young enthusiast. Learnt a lot that day from the man driving the winner, Cool Hand Luke indeed.
-
Yay, you came through Ranga, double points as well.( Just name that ex NZer that sat parked from the mile).Go you good thing! Gamma be broke soon. Is that The Fixer doing his thing?
-
Mmm. Looks like a Bettors Delight to me. Thanks for the clues Gamma. His would have to be one of the biggest runs in the Cup ever and not win wouldn’t it?
-
Last I heard HJ, Geoff was throwing passenger bags around Auckland Airport. Top bloke Geoffrey, self made from a tough upbringing in Chch. Never took a backward step, gotta respect that.
-
Geez, that’s no good. You’ll be down to your last crate of Beaujolais soon at that rate. NRL final. Penrith by 20-30 points?
-
Does he have a show in the Derby Gamma? I see he went a few seconds quicker than the good ones in the other heat.
-
“Blackie dictating the pace by sitting outside Ranga, making sure nothing can get around and attack(Major Perry Ranga), go you good thing, I’ve got the quinella.
-
Stand by my original call, he’s still a Holmes Hanover😎. I better ease up a bit, getting a little close to Ranga. This is a bit like race driving in Queensland.😇
-
That’d be a Holmes Hanover no doubt. Yulestar running second?
-
Now that’s called Nostalgia Newmarket, where things were always better further back in time. I don’t think things have changed that much. All the great trainers use to say you had to be racing in August to win the Cup, though I think with modern day Standy are a little more thoroughbred like, come up quick and a bit delicate. Give us an Armbo Del , Scottish Hanover or Lumber Dream hey.
-
And , just as a side observation, I’d suggest the top stable is always peaking for the bigger days, and if you guys had some punting nous(from a non punter), wouldn’t you back against them this time of year?
-
Hasn’t ‘blood spinning’ been outlawed? Against the rules? We’ll all have to join Gammalite in Aussie( that’s where all the outlaws go) if we wanted to keep doing it. Someone else will be able to confirm.
-
Go Ranga
-
I’ll go King of Swing. I think he won the Breeders Crown for D Butcher when trained by Ray Green. Come in Rangatira.
-
I’ve backed Rangitara in this competition Gammalite, taking all your millions! What a rort , must have some Aussie in me somewhere. Next question please.
