  1. Typical Aussie, blurting out half way through a race, loose reining with a lap to go, running into oxygen debt. The race is to the finishing post mate, not before. ps good job again 👍
  2. Marky probably get 3 with Oscar Bonavena , he will now that I’ve dropped him.
  3. Blackman will have Team # 4 please.
  4. Strietross? Round 100 starts, 50 of either gait, about 10 wins in each, raced against some top liners in his career.
  5. Aussie(🙄) O'Sullivan out for three days for more than a wrist flicking action, would have learned that off her Dad :). ps Carter fined $250 for trying to keep up with her.
  6. Also on the Board of HRNZ. C'mon RJ, need to put your impartiality cap on here, big principal at stake. Forget that you've trained horses for the President. Would'nt like the thought of Master Musician being buried under a ton of asphalt in a car park.
  7. https://www.alexandrapark.co.nz/about/ Vice President ATC
  8. You’d think RJ Dunn wouldn’t be having a bar of it, should know the relevance of respecting such an icon.
  9. I don’t think Hoolahoops(aka AGH) has ever won on Self Assured, maybe wrong. I bet he thought that he had that one.
  10. What are these fellas doing Gamma? We need you to get a job there and find out and get us some. I’ll get busy & send a couple over to you to clean up the Queensland Carnival, easy!
  11. Just phenomenal.
  12. Geez he ran them, did our Blair. Well done that man 👍. Turned it into a mile race after a stroll through the first bit, and I’ve always said the best stayers win miles, can click the sub quarters over & over. Thanks again Gamma for the entertainment, certainly keeps one’s interest, be lost without that. Maiden win? That was a long time ago last century 😎.
  13. What are they on the pub tab nowadays? 1% of turnover or worse possibly? Doesn’t add up, more $ in booze.
  14. Give me Group 6 Gamma..safety in numbers, team driving, blood thicker than water, yadda yadda, all that.
  15. Thanks for the entertainment today Gamma , A+ 👍. ps As R Cameron once told me, the race is only to the winning post Gamma, psst, lucky save indeed.
  16. Trying to avoid what the Aussie has picked...😎. Hardly classic fields that use to be a highlight of the calender. Race 1/ 1-12 Race 2/ 13-16 Race 3/ 12-14 Race 4/ 5-6 Race 5/ 8-9 Race 6/ 5-6 Race 7/ 12-14 Race 8/ 7-9 Race 9/ 10-15 Race 10/ 4-10 Race 11/ 7-10
  17. ‘‘Twas sitting in the Old Steward stand just after winning post, unfolded right in front of us, all rushed down trying to help, was horrendous. Robert Mitchell , Paleface Tryax, grabbed one and held it it for awhile, then had to let it go as the rein kept slipping through his hand, great piece of horsemanship. They said Naval Officer was a lucky Derby winner, so Mike DeFilipi to prove a point, came out in that horses very next race , let him run, and won by 14 lengths as I recall!
  18. Gammalite raising the IQ of both countries when he emigrated(courtesy R Muldoon).
  19. Looks like your fav Aussie steering your fav NZer in the big go Gamma, forgotten horse I reckon.
  20. That’ll be ‘she’ work for the All stars now? Aussies, no surprises there..🙄
  21. I’ll be in. Just waiting to see what Marky boy is swinging the rudder behind….
  22. ….Jason Grimson. The five-year-old made it five wins from just six starts for training phenomenon Jason Grimson when he won by a huge space and smashed the clock. Betterzippit worked to the front and sailed away to win by 13.7m in a 1min48.6sec mile – that’s 0.2sec faster than Catch A Wave went to win last month’s Miracle Mile.
