    I don't see the point of seeding in a 6 week window from being beaten in the next month. The other things can be done in a day or two regardless of useage and are routine I'd have thought. What the tree reduction and irrigation improvements have to do with any rehabilitation I don't understand.
  2. curious
    Yep.

    Yes, the Ballymore example is a more recent one as are the ex state stables in Oz such as Waller in Queensland and those are run by assistant trainers, not co-trainers as is proposed here. In NZ, the likes of Walker and Marsh have had satellite stables in the SI also headed by assistant trainers. I don't see the problem nor that one is likely.

    Has it been tested after heavy rainfall yet?
  5. curious
    It certainly goes back a long way without a problem since training partnerships became a thing. I remember for example, the Chris Waller/Heather Weller partnership operating successfully at Foxton when Chris first moved to Sydney.

    Did you mean iconic or conic?

    Definitely got off balance and shifted out on the point of the corner. Hard to say whether it actually lost its footing for mine.

    Except that no serious punter, or bookie for that matter, is going to go to the races with $1m and aim to make a $1m. They'll go with a $1m and expect to make 50k. That would be no fun for the BGP crowd.

    I don't think he'd bother. Just dashes something off spruiking the hype, so he can go enjoy the party.

    I think the bigger outfits like Marsh and TA are the ones who might have or have had a chance to wreak some change there, but they seem to just moan quietly and speak with their feet.

    About the same. Waller is 161+GST. ~$NZ200
  12. curious
    25% is a bit of an understatement. Waller's basic daily rate is $A180. That's double or more most NZ trainers. The rest I agree with.

    Yes. BGP are betting FO, so turnover is irrelevant.

    It's like they report it to suit those who want a bit of give in the track and deliver it to suit the likes of Pitty.

    Be lucky to cover a year's costs for one here.

    1.23 1400s and 2.03 for 2000. S5???

    I like his blazer. I want one.

    Btw, what was with all the annoying background noise on TS from there and the dreadful vision quality on TS premier?
  19. curious
    So, did you follow them there? They look like they know the way.
  20. curious
    I suggest you read the peer reviewed published studies yourself if you want to understand that.
  21. curious
    Could well be. I also can't recall any WFA races ever there.

    I thought the NZTAB tote was commingled with the world pool for that race so I don't see how you would get 2 different prices, or did NZTAB run their own separate pool as well?

    I watched it on and off. Didn't have the sound on but pretty much got to see what I wanted to.👍
  25. curious
    They always have. Like all losing punters.
