How accurate are the trainers stats as in numbers in training,it says John Phillip's,Winton has 26 in training yet The Tyler's have 23,the Tyler's always turn up with a few each day,Phillip's has only one,where are the other 25?
Races seemed to go off ok,I just wonder if there is room for a few monday meetings in the south,sometimes those 2 meetings in six weeks seems a bit sparse in race date terms.
At least Forbury get the numbers,its funny how hrnz are supposed to be promoting racing and then removing it from a large chunk of the country,im getting mixed messages.
Be a great holiday for the dorklanders going home,sitting in traffic so they can get stuck in traffic going to work tomorrow,fuckem ,one wonders when you talk about pollution in the air all those cars bumper to bumper must be the biggest polluters in the country
Just reading an ODT story on yesterday,over a thousand people turned up,now I'm not sure if that's a lot but it appears by Forbury standards it seems to be ,some of the days they get probably only attract a handful but its all about the turnover,but it does help if the public know the races are on,a Sunday on a holiday weekend gets some interested,don't believe a cold Thursday in July would inspire many,how many turn up at addington on those cold winter nights?
Strange thing,PetesDash seems to be a habitual 5th or 6th placegetter so with other drivers still getting same result,6 months is a bit tough,maybe just a bit of advice might have been enough.
There still needs to be shuffle around in the dates to get the best outcome,I think the south has probably got enough meetings or close too,one positive we saw over winter is the fact you can race in Southland in winter,I guess it comes down to figures what days are best but Forbury on cold winter nights is a bit of a croc
Alexy is a funny horse,I've seen some drivers who can get the best out of him,driven right today he could surprise again,pretty average fields to be honest but par for the course for a southern race meet these days,on another note I see Davy Mac back calling the trials so he ain't given up completely as yet,must be hard being demoted like that though,I dont have anything against Justin Evan's but he should have waited his turn to call the Southern meetings.
