TommyTomTom...you need to get back on the meds old son...stay calm and do no harm

and credit where its due... I emailed NZRB with this Te Rapa mistook and they fixed it pronto... big 'ups' to Tim Aldridge for taking the time to reply to me swiftly, and correcting it even swifter!

so ...American for cadre is cader? so American for padre is pader? Oh, that's right, there are exceptions that prove every rule!

thanks for all these comments..v helpful...I have learned that: Bostonian's +10pts re rating that appears after his April 2018last race in Nz actually refers to performance progress in Qsld in the winter. That makes sense but placing it before the Qsld career on his Perofrmance Profile is Flocking Stupid. cant they figure a better way of displaying this update ...eg in a line by itself when a horse returns from an overseas campaign? Black Type performances in age group /restrictedraces are rated different to/than WFA Open Grade events. Shoulda realised that. In my view Bostonian is very well off in the weights for his return to NZ racing. Hello It's Me ran out of her skin in the OMF Stakes in a small but high quality field (3 x Grp 1 winners in it). Her re-rating might mean she cops more weight but she'll get into just about any Open Hcp or WFA race on a R94 .. and is only 1.5kg above minimum I have seen this horse and she is a BIG STRONG GIRL. A 'live' chance in the Counties Cup, esp if sting out of ground. Thanks again, people

Or just plain careless...Te Rapa last race this Sunday... this is the TAB Sheet displayed on tab.co.nz today. S!o...is it over 1400m or 1600m ..and why cant they spell centre properly. We aint Americans yet CAMBRIDGE TRAINING CENTER 1600 MDN F&M SW 1400m $10,000

ye s i heard George going off about it ..mebbe under pressure to keep the client happy???? Problem for him (Georgre) now is that the handicapper looks good given SOS's performance v Embellish on Sat

how can you get just +10 for winning $200k from 3 consecutive wins against Australian sprinter-miler 3yos...but give Hello It;'s Me +13 for running 3rd in a WFA 2000m race against 6 opponents

..looking at this again... the +10 re-Rating for Bostonian has been earned by winning 3 in a row in Queensland against his own age group. all takes races, one of them a Group 3, the others Listed. (He aint running against hacks in the backblocks of Gungadin or Gunnedah).

well Hello It's Me has 1 (only) Stakes WIN in restricted age-group racing. Runs 3rd ahead of 9yo Authentic Paddy and 3 others (averagely performed) and gets smacked!

Ok...baesd on that observation of racing well, try this one.. Bostonian ...leaves NZ last autumn with a Rating 84 for Australia wins three Stakes races on the trot incl a Group 3 ...comes back into NZ and will resume Sat in a Listed Open Hcp with a Rating of ..84 ...to me that reads that its no better a horse than when it left NZ wevwn though it has had 3 ore wains and earned $200k in Queensland. Has now won 6 from 9 and will carry 56kg, getting 3.5kg off Untamed Diamond and 4kg off Volks Lightning.

Counties Cup this Saturday. Hello It's Me .. 4yo mare- previously a Rating 81 horse ...winner of just three races, one of them 1 Group 2 against her own sex at 3yo...has copped +13 for running 3rd behind St Emilion and Lizzie L'Amour in the OMF Stakes on Melbourne Cup Day. In a seven horse field. Her only other wins have been at Ruakaka (incl her Maiden). Fair and reasonable?? What are your thoughts, BOAYERS??

slight mistook there Huey...it is of course the CURRENT SEASON stats, not 2017/18!!

yes indeed. Update for you if interested... 2017/18 Season NZ · 17 races won; 13 individual winners, no Group or Listed wins (early days) · 12 wins by girls, 5 by boys · 12 sprint wins (6@ 1200m; 1@ 1300m; 5@ 1400m) · 2 wins @1600m · 3 middle distance wins (2000m -2100m) · NO 2yo winners; only ONE 3yo winner (Loose Cannon, filly, now injured) so far · 11 of the 17 wins are from 6yo or older · Winningest horse is 6yo sprinting mare Donna Anne Billy (3 wins); then Lady Kartel and Moss Jazz (2 wins each), also sprinters · 0 wins in August; 8 wins in Sept; 5 wins in Oct; 4 so far in Nov

Same greediness demonstrated by Mr Castles and his thieving crew on Livamol Day at Hastings. $25 for the 'privilege' of being there.

these are deliberate tactics by TAM to encourage us to 'recycle' ( ie give it back)

looked preggers at Flemington...good luck to her .. but on a different and more relevant note...WHO DRESSES THESE PEOPEL Nearly fell of my chair seeing Sweeney Mod in hos chapeau today...and Emily looked like a licorice all-sort which may have been the intention but ...why can't we get it better than this?

exacry!

update... MC had no chance at that tempo...great front-running ride by Sam Spratt but those other jocks let her do it again...should all be fined for being asleep on the job

thanks TTT ...rain not required if you check his form on good going... carrying no weight, fit as a fiddlee-dee..just a matter of how fast they go..the stronger the tempo the better his chances

Hold it right there, TommyTomTom ...this is the Spelling Police Bayliss ...Shafiq ...at least you got Danielle's name right! 1 out of 3 ain't good

See separate post for my case for Monarch Chimes ...and if it does rain even better

Can a horse better known over fences win this tomorrow? Here's my case for Monarch Chimes. Stays all day, good jock, no weight. Goes Ok on Good3 ground ( 0 wins but 2 placings from 3 starts). In form on the flat .beat some highly regarded stayers home when 2nd at Ellerslie over 2400m recently. The opposition is not particukarly strong ... a shame when you consider the mighty heritage of this iconic race. Good value each way at $21 FO

He is easily the best of the young brigade, IMO ...articulate, sincere and credible, not overly egocentric, a good continuity man and an excellent racecaller. How long before overseas calls him awa'

and I presume you, TommyTomTom are talking about FIRE LILY .....
