Karrots

HAHAHA, yes I heard the rumour from good source, that the reason why McCaffrey still trains at Dr L Chin is to keep him alive laughing laughing. Well those are apparently "McCaffrey's" words anyway in good fun and good faith joking way, as time does catchup with us all. No-one BTW confirmed my rumour I heard re that mouth movement haha. Because apparently L Whittaker (who is my new fav Junior driver) and McCaffrey are great mates! lol. Yeah Gamms, when peeps on here put BS negativity & then I think well hang on how well have they done in FACTS and FUN games & I think yeah zero or LOW. So LOW or ZERO is likely there opinion reality. But Im happy to be proved wrong.

Here ya go.

Gamms I think its OVER aye. Karrots will take the crown back from Eljay thank you very much. Now, I have decided that Krug is the BEST 3 y-o in the country after tonights race. However I still DO NOT THINK he can race outside American Dealer and beat him. Now listen up peeps, Karrots has won selections game, Karrots was the closest in sale yearling price to the highest sale price, just $11k short & truth be told actually would of gone higher to $320 or $330k had it not been for peeps on here going so much lower & putting Karrots off. Karrots has just won the drivers challenge. And Karrots thought it was a great move that Majestic Man went to Oz - win lose or whatever happened. New to this game yes, but building creditbility. If anyone wants to boo-hoo me then come on join in in own fun game challenges 😄 Next - GREAT drive by L Whittaker on - Cos I Can, he pushed out at the RIGHT TIME. He helped the "Others" and Ardens Horizon reap the reward & got the win. You think just because some LOVE STABLE driving, that you will win. Think again. The "OTHERS" are actually the majority in races against. AND they just need to remember that. Karrots will nom herself as the ADVOCATE for the "OTHERS" & remember how competitive I am 😄

This is fun 😁, and I had read an article too Green, saying deal Dealer out, due to draw etc. So pleased Spirit of St Lou was put in race, did not bet on him, but was going to hit the UNFOLLOW button if he was not put in race. 4th by a nose ish. Good run doing the donkey work from a 2nd row draw, 3 wide and parked. Much better tho, next time hopefully he gets a better draw. https://www.lincolnfarms.co.nz/stories/deal-me-out-says-ray-as-multiple-factors-weigh-against-colt-in-fridays-derby-lead-up/ Oh who is going to take out the 3y-o race next .... ? Gosh its anyones ....

Ok so I pick up 2 points. In that race I applaude R May for not handing up the lead. Shame the trail horse weakened right out. He gave the trail “OTHER” horse a chance, but that chance unfortunety didn’t transpire tonight. This is what the “others” need to start doing when, stables stable drive. Hold the lead. DO NOT HAND UP. Take 1 for the “others” team. Next time hopefully there will be more than 5 in the race and the “others” will be the majority. Then it will be ALL runners running on their own merit. Then also NEXT time, it can be another “OTHER” that takes 1 for the “Others” team. Got to beat them at there game. Right, watching Spirit of St Lou (put him in the race) and American Dealer (Z Butcher) 😁

I saw that Gamms aargghh. Was thinking oh sh.t oh sh.t oh sh.t lol. Call Me Trouble (Z Butcher) was exactly that & broke up. Another naughty naughty horsie tonight.

Did you see that Trotsfan? They are both your horses for the 2 y-o Jewels, being a Always B Miki fan. Nice 👍 Yes my favourites are going well aren't they Gamms. That is Z Butcher saying to you, watch out beep beep out of our lane. Karrots for the drivers challenge win (cheeky monkey) 😆

Yes its is a combined total for both drivers North + South 😃

Checked into see a horse galloping like a wild child. Very naughty, naughty and not very fair on the other runners. Yes needs to be sent to the unruly I vote.

Thanks Gamms, for covering. Only just checking back in now. A bit disappointed that only 4 (yourself, Davis, Eljay & me) well 5 posters including Hunts put in noms, considering I have read a lot of negativity posts and threads on drivers. This was the opposite and a chance to nom your fav, or whom you thought might go well tonight or even could of nom-ed just on hot-ness for fun, or even as a random fun thing like Davis did last time with the $1 bet, he just threw in a total outsider just to participate and make up the numbers. How is everyone getting on now? I see Bettors Twist (T Williams) got beat. So Karrots only picks up 2 points for that.

Does anyone want to play the drivers challenge game? You must pick 2 drivers. 1 from North and 1 from South. Points will be allocated for 1st, 2nd, 3rd With such a nice evening of racing at both Alex & Met seems a shame not to be able to follow your fav drivers. Perhaps just select your favs as I have. I have selected Z Butcher & T Williams Umm I wonder who Gamms will chose …

Well he has been found guilty by the JCA according to news on HRNZ today. Punishment could be a life ban, to be decided soon.

https://www.facebook.com/stonewallstud/videos/456122618898966/ Well they have all the good stuff 👍 Technology these days.

Yeah I hear you Brods, To clarify they would stay in North, but sister would go run the property they brought which they take over end of year South. That is what Telfer said on Boxseat. It would depend on how many horses they sent South, as obviously less races in the North weekly, to get the premiership in future, they would need to crank up the South base with numbers. He was asked to guess how many owners he had and he guessimated 400 ish currently. So yes without Telfer North would be rather worse off 😬

Guerrin said on Boxseat that “it was a big call but he would make it, that Telfer had a good chance of being top premier trainer within next 5 years”. Had been thinking the same thing, but put it at more like 3 years. But didn’t think it was a big call, was thinking well this is the way its likely going to be once they set up the South properly with numbers end of year & when some of those well breed what 40 odd yearlings hit the race track. Time will tell of course. PS Gamms a nice write up about your dream girl winning back driving on HRNZ 😃

A post-race veterinary on James Cagney examination including a scope revealed mucus in the trachea. Stood down pending a veterinary clearance. The other runner My Ultimate Chevron finished a nice 3rd giving them a head start turning for home. I thought at one stage it might keep buzzing thru to win, but no, seemed to come to the end of it, still got a nice 3rd after a 1st up win in a group race.

Just watched replay. Didn't see anything wrong with it. Infact I would say I viewed it as the opposite of team-stable driving. Each horse ran on their own merits.

I’m going to take a guess, that her defence gets her off the charges that we read about before name suppression came in. We will have to wait & see the verdict. (Remember Forbs quoting me saying, "that there are some things that I don't know which are not good or something", so my guess maybe off the mark). But anyways, Good luck to them all. What a horrible thing to have to go thru so publically.

Sorry Mikey, slight diversion here, just heard them say he will miss the 1st few races. Blinkin traffic hey. Ok back to your subject 😁

Thanks for sharing Eljay, That is sad & disappointing for them. At first I thought it read 2nd highest turnover in North Island, then re-read & saw word (Lower) North Island. At least they are not giving up the fight.

Seeing Abernethy has had a 2 hour traffic delay on way from Auckland to Manawatu today. Hoping to get there on time.

Correction, $20 GA, just read a nice article on HRNZ about Jewels & how lots of support & ticket sales. Great idea re GA $20 deal if pre-purchased says get a free $5 bet + a drink #smart 👍

That is what I suspect too. They might put a bet on while with mates down at the local club or pub having a quiet beer after work. Go home say 6.30-7pm ish. With an earlier start of 4pm could potential get that market, a bit more than a later start for the lower graded midweek races.

Nice thread Ludwig 👍

Aww you beauty. Thanks for the inside tip, with dates too Taku.
