Well i must say i'm not totally surprised that Opie is on this runner from Te Akau,thought i can't help but feel for Jason Laking,who's done the race day riding on him since he's been in the south,and sounds like he works the horse as well. I get that they want the best on him,but gee Jason wouldn't of been out of place in that field,has won it before mind you. I guess nothing is guaranteed when your a jockey.In saying that i still think the horse can win the race,just be good to see Jason rewarded with a ride in the G1 on him.

Oh and Robbie Close is known as GOOSE.
-
Yip Tim is known as the Turtle.
-
Yip he did look pretty dominant in that performance. I don't see why Jason Laking wouldn't keep the ride?. Sounds like from what i read that he rides the horse in trackwork as well as helping out Te Akau. If weight isn't an issue then i don't see why he can't keep the ride,is no mug.
-
So im guessing that your anti vaxxer Brodie?.
-
Yea on the grit.

Verry Elleegant - Cox Plate 2021 - the multi multiplier!

Before her last run Damian Lane was booked for her,so unless that's changed,he'll be on. I love the mare so i'll be on her again and if the wet comes and she handles the Valley she will be tough. -
Yip i read that article as well,and i thought 'holy shit,no way'. Would be a massive kick in the guts for the team down in Kaikoura if this was too happen,for the clubs sake i surely hope this isn't the case.
-
Yip definitely good to see Jason riding for Te Akau again this spring. Rode a bit for them last season,before his injury around a year ago which kept him off the scene for a while. Hopefully he can get more rides for them.
-
Definitely won't be out of her depth.I hope she goes well.
-
Gee that's a tricky one. I try not to follow certain jocks these days,but will have a cursory look at what the 'guns' are riding. I was taken by Elen Nicholas who was riding well,until she was involved in that fall last weekend,so a shame to see her side lined for a while. In the South,i am a big Jason Laking fan,i mean not anyone can win Group 1s. I do think if he was linked to a prominent stable and getting better rides,then he could be right up there in the South,but he's not but i will continue to throw my $$ his way.
-
Pretty sure Jamie Kah was down to ride the winner.Ben Melham i think was going to be riding the horse that ran 2nd in it.
-
Just read an article that states that Mark Zahra was also in attendance,so he's been rubbed out as well.So the ride on Elle( Verry Elleegant) is up for grabs again.
-
Ah the idiot strikes again.Think we all know who is pathetic and it isn't Craig.
-
Oh yes i do now remember that same interview. Well Sarah gets a good chance to level up with John,as he's suspended so not driving this week,so it should be all on,hope she goes well.
-
Congrats to Sarah for getting the win the comp. Interesting that her 2 wins yesterday now have her 4 behind John Morrison,with i think 3 meetings left in the South,can she get him?. Interesting that Sarah hasn't travelled up North in her quest for the title,like some others have done when it's been getting tight.
-
So for those that listened today,I didn't,but what were your thoughts?. Was there any racing from Aussie broadcast? or will they be keeping the Aussie racing for the bigger days/weekends?.
-
Have never been to Forbury but have always enjoyed having a punt on their meetings. It's sad to see a club with so much history being rubbed out,but i guess its a world that we live in now,a shame tho as smaller clubs are the lifeline of this industry. Interesting to see they are doing a 'commentators night' on Thursday.As Dougie said a little odd that Davey Mac wasn't mentioned in calling a race,hopefully maybe it was an error and he will be on track,will be interesting to hear Kevin Payne call a race,hopefully he's been commentating some races at home to get ready for it. I hope the club has a bumper night for their swansong.
-
Looked to do it with a fair bit left in the tank.
-
They just got a winner with Somekindawonderful. Think they have had the odd winner lately,getting plenty of placings however.
-
I seriously hope it will come back,but i have no idea if it will.
-
Wow! Is Jamie Kah brave AND talented or what?!
Mardy replied to Chief Stipe's topic in Galloping Chat
Have just seen a re run of the race,and wow that was one ballsy ride to get the win.Plenty of other riders probably wouldn't of gone where Jamie did,but i guess she showed why she's pretty bloody good and killing it in Melbourne. I punted the horse each way and managed to get a small % of the trifecta. Ended up by not watching it live due to needing to go on nappy duty lol,but was a good result to see on the TAB site. -
Who was the commentator? i just assumed it would be Matt Cross. Only asking as i generally watch the races on the laptop but with the volume on mute,so that i don't annoy my better half.
-
Drove a couple of his more than handy trotters back in the day..Glenbogle and Whatsundermykilt.
-
Is Shane back in Canterbury?. Only asking as i noticed on Friday that he drove one for Robbie Holmes,and that is the same again on Monday. I know he's been based in the deep South for a number of years,but maybe he's come back?. Very capable driver who did have a bit of success when last based in Canterbury with Kevin Fairbairn's team.
