  1. Well done…. Won really well. Surprised they keep starting Lester, needs a long rest then ready for grass in spring.
  2. Hopefully swabbed
  3. Maybe have a good look over the last few years…. Plenty in the harness game charged for various offences
  4. Paid $155 here in NZ. Staggering really, it’s not like it had a cushy run and popped through to win. Came from last out wide and beat the best Aus/NZ horses. Makes you think at times…
  5. So what, one horse wins plenty. Have a look at the hundreds of others high priced buys Ellis has been involved in.. .. if you had taken a small slice of all of them…would have lost heaps.
  6. Obviously worth trying in weaker Sth Island company don’t you think? Was nothing wrong with the nag,
  7. You should open your eyes mate… horse was Sophisticardo….
  8. You only hear the good stories about this stable…. Talking to a few people at Riccarton races last week, 3 of them said they would never have a horse with the stable again. One syndicate had a horse racing in the Nth Island, gelding showed a bit of promise earlier but was disappointing. Syndicate asked if they could race it from a good stable in the Canterbury…. answer a BIG No… obviously scared of another trainer improving the horse
  9. Just to refresh my memory…. How long did the track take to get repaired and at what cost? Ta
  10. Bonus back is on first 4 races at Ascot tomorrow, first race 3-50pm
  11. Really? Surely that is not true?
  12. Every chance tonight, Merlin too good
  13. Thought same, crazy bet off 35m
  14. Think BGP got cleaned up
  15. Yep, Aussie drivers to good in trot, controlled the race. Didn’t have bet, hate leaders bias
  16. Did I hear right that OP got suspended for ride?
  17. Agree, but still metropolitan racing in Aus ahead NZ
  18. I’ve stopped looking today, they could never get 3 horses in right order in running now…. So no chance 4 horses in order… as well as back to front depending on left/ right track. pretty bad really
  19. Watched an interview recently on an Australia racing show, they were interviewing Jayne Ivil. She said she wasn’t a very good apprentice rider, stated Aus probably wouldn’t have given her licence, yet NZ did. I assume that is what is happening in NZ, desperate for riders so anyone gets a licence. Love her honesty, she seems to know abit about racing too
  20. Somebody may have already mentioned this…. But when the race is running they have the 4 horses numbers at bottom of screen…. Sometimes the leader is on the left, then it’s on right… WTF
  21. Anyone watch Racing Dreams Sky 85 this morning at 11am. I think it is brilliant, very professional, not sure who the woman presenter is with Tim, but she is brilliant. NZ should look at that show, even if they could get half as good, be far better than NZ presenters offers.
  22. Amazing meeting is going ahead today after so much rain, really excited with Aus racing today. Imperatriz is a brilliant horse, best to come from NZ in many years and proven against the best across the ditch. Match race between I Wish I Win today, for mine not much between them. Will be backing I Wish I Win only because track record, I think it will suit better than other, also Jmac over OP any day for me. Roughies for multiples, Aft Cabin & Buenos Noches.
