    Yes. Who said it was worn? I didn't see or hear that.
  2. curious
    How do you?

    Another huge win. Impressive. Untested. Big congrats to Sam and Colin. Will she be wanted for the Kiwi? Or will they prefer to stick to the Group race options? Or, off to Oz with most of our other best 3yos?

    Yes, key role in the NRB. One area of NZTR that seems to have pretty much always operated efficiently and effectively. Hopefully, they can find the right person for the job.

    Yes. It's that vision I was relying on. Watched it several times. He would have had to take up and shift in 4-5 horse widths and wouldn't have won if he had done so imo.

    If the gap had gone the other way and opened a fraction, the horse was bolting and it was all over rover. Everyone would be saying what a brilliant ride.
  7. curious
    I beg to differ and I backed Rox @$7. The gap was there (just) when he made the decision about the 400. Kennedy then shifted out slightly making the gap impassable. On that track especially, it is also easier to keep the horse balanced easing out than cutting back in on the turn. Had he then cut back to the inside, he would have lost too much balance and momentum to win imo.

    She's a he.

    Ever ridden a horse at 60 clicks when a leather broke Newmarket? I have and I fell off too. Probably my piss poor riding. HAPPY FIELD (N Hailey) - Lost its rider passing the 1300 metres after the right stirrup leather broke. N Hailey was stood down requiring a medical clearance prior to riding next. Underwent a post-race veterinary examination which revealed no abnormalities.

    Pigeons are on leave.

    Clipped heels didn't it?
  12. curious
    Totally agree. Atrocious maltreatment which deserved a greater penalty imo. That's what caught my attention.

    OK. Thanks Gamma. I'm not a trotting person, so not really up with the play but spotted this thread. Just remembered him being suspended but think that was overturned despite a Supreme Court ruling upholding it? Sounds like an appropriate result in the end.

    Wasn't that a year ago?

    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.
  16. curious
    Yep.
  17. curious
    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.
  18. curious
    Has it been tested after heavy rainfall yet?
  19. 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?
  21. curious
    Definitely got off balance and shifted out on the point of the corner. Hard to say whether it actually lost its footing for mine.
  22. curious
    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 $1m and expect to make 50k. That would be no fun for the BGP crowd.
  23. curious
    I don't think he'd bother. Just dashes something off spruiking the hype, so he can go enjoy the party.
  24. curious
    I think the bigger outfits like Marsh and TA are the ones who might have or have had a chance to wreak some change there, but they seem to just moan quietly and speak with their feet.
  25. curious
    About the same. Waller is 161+GST. ~$NZ200
