  1. I love this. And yes The Fixer is on my list for a trifecta potential. I quite like him. Took a quick look thru your post and summary, great potential analysis. Very thought through. I will reply properly tomorrow with my selection Winner selection and Why. I hope others take-part also :-)
  2. Only 3 more sleeps, I'm going to have fun bet on it, thinking of a trifecta, there are a number of horses I'd like to include. However, I can't see it being like the Melbourne Cup, where I was able to take nearly 1/2 the field - percentage bet & still return a dividend higher than the amount spent. What to do ...
  3. Yes tend to agree Mikie, sat parked and was too good tonight. Read that this horse is more tough, whereas Darling Me, has more speed. Anyways nite all. Enjoy your weekend and happy punting.
  4. Hi Trostfan, thank you for your feedback. Yes I saw Always B Miki was the top racehorse. I have not followed his prodigy yet, but am interested to know how he is going in NA. Thanks for the info. Ill start following more. I have not looked at his NZ sire fee or the amount of NZ mares he has served. On my weanling sales shortlist, I had an Always B Miki horse, however it went out of budget, so could not bid on it. Feel/felt like Miki and Lou, were/are affordable, however Treachous, out of budget. Thats why I feel like Sweet Lou, might just be the stallion that takes the crown ... Many thanks, Hunter the Punter for your positive vibes. He is turning out to be quite handsome, much better looking than when brought. His downfall is he chases the cows. A new game, when he learnt they were afraid of him. So had to be separated. Well the 2 Sweet Lou fillies tonight, finished 2nd and 3rd respectively. Hard over a mile at Alex.
  5. Yes I had read that you have a 1 month old Vincent. I hope that the new wee arrival is a success for you. I purchased a Sweet Lou at the weanling sales. My 1st harness horse. Exciting. A Sweet Lou. I would be interested in Brodies thoughts, on if he thinks Sweet Lou might be the 1 that dethrones Bettors Delight ... Not because I have a Sweet Lou, but more out of the stats .... Take a look at American Ideal, Art Major, Bettors Delight or any other sire for that matter. Compare the numbers from 2016 / 2018, they all serviced more than Sweet Lou. However 2019 and 2020, and I would be interested in seeing the 2021 figures, that changes and Sweet Lou (the North American peoples horse) overtakes them, in numbers served. Take a look also at the starter - winners rate. No idea, how the top sire is equated, most stake, winners, or what.
  6. Hi Mikie Maybe you were feeling frustrated, then that went to something like, (understandably) disappointment, when being called a name. Thing to remember is viewers can read what has been and hasn't been said. Back to racing, Alex tonight, Group 1, 3y-o fillies Sires Stakes, its still hard to pick the top 1 of this crop. I like the 2 Sweet Lou fillies. I wonder if in time, Sweet Lou will eventually take the NZ top sire from Bettors Delight. Based on his 2019 and also 2020 numbers he serviced and his start / win strike rate.
  7. Ok.
  8. Hi Ranga I don't really have an opinion either way on this. From what Iv read you seem to have present tense have or past tense had an involvement to some sorts within RIU. Good for you.
  9. Hi Brodie Iv also enjoyed a lot reading your posts over the past 12 months. Sometimes you get a bit repetitive on certain subjects, but by and large Iv agreed with the majority of your posts. With this particular one, it was channel 1.
  10. Read today on an Aussie website Trots, it is Greens 1st NZ Cup starter. Seems hard to believe. Id like to find the link to article to post. However regardless, all the best. Will be rooting for Copy That NZ Cup and American Dealer for Sires Series.

    Each to their own. However personally don't like to see horses being beaten. The Galah, overall its nice to see you back posting, after your 2 months spell. Iv enjoyed reading your posts over the past 12 months.
  12. Maybe a breathe of fresh air, time will tell.
  13. Hi Happy, thanks for the info re tweet, yes interesting to see the result.
