  1. Wow, dont remember horse in nz
  2. Braedoon
  3. Maybe track was firmer than previous years, stable does like the wet stuff
  4. The stable had a pretty ordinary cup week in chch. I was told some stable staff have moved on, which is the reason the stable has battled lately? Is this the case? Not as many nth island winners either during the week.
  5. But hang on. Its cup week, we have the best harness horses we have in nz, plus several from aussie, where the winner of the race came from. They are the best horses in nz. Then we have the nz galloping cup? It attracts no horses from aus this year, and several better stayers in nz didnt even bother to run in it??? For mine, maybe it needs a name change, NZ galloping cup seems too good for it. Maybe Christchurch Galloping Cup far better name,
  6. Been some great horses running in the nz cup in years gone by. Was there when Karaoke beat Prince Haze and Castletown??? Wow compare those horses to now. Maybe they need to look at the race, it only attracts the 2nd rate stayers in nz, and to be honest, the 1st rate ones are average.
  7. As expected, another poor effort by Felaar. Dee and gee outstayed them, thats for sure. Bloody terrible field it was
  8. Purdons have not had so many wins as in past cup weeks. Whats going on?
  9. I was on course, thought it was great. Everyone, apart from you 2 knew about the BGP bet. Good on them, crowd went wild. Get out on track boys, soak it up.
  10. With Ice at $81 first race. Galloped last couple when going well, back to big track, could surprise.
  11. Ha, feel a little sorry for horse. Been pumped up all its life, but just a horse. Surely for the horse to be a winning chance sat, you would like to see it running on, instead of peaking last start.
  12. Made up huge ground yesterday, better ride and it wins. Ouch
  13. Wow, what a bunch of donkeys this race has attracted last few years? Who wins it on Saturday, Felaar looked like a weak mule, losing ground on the first 3 last 50m, mind you mouthy owner will probably say it was unlucky? Dee and gee, went really well, but maybe fresh runners in saturdays race will be ones to back, but gee fields getting crap.
  14. Yeah, i reloaded app a couple of times, did work 2nd time. Thanks all
  15. My stats. I watch far more aus racing than nz racing, but the interference in nz racing is shocking. So many inexperienced jockeys, both from here and overseas, are doing the game no good.
  16. Wow, that jockey was lucky. Just watching another race in nz, rider clipped heels, lost irons?? Terrible look these average jockeys, in nz per race numbers starters compared to aus, we have far more jockeys and horses falling!! Come on , sort it out
  17. Iphone or android?
  18. App been down the whole day???
  19. Those fields on Monday were the worst i have seen. Terrible
  20. For a world class jockey, Frankie has been very average in aussie. Gave the horse perfect run, but why did he not change whip when running in? Tell you what, if any top aus jock was on it, would have won the race, No worries.
  21. Yes, crazy. You can hardly see the field racing down the back on tv.
  22. Not sure why the driver of fanny hill didnt sit parked 700m? Instead she stayed 3 back, was always going to be unlucky. Take short odds next time once smarter driver on board. And Shadow Minister, the driver never gave horse a chance? It was terrible to watch, why did he wait so long in straight to pul out wider??? Crazy
  23. Well, horse went ok today for 2nd. Driver drove it a little better, he was unlucky the leader compounded, which let winner out. If he had gone around 100m earlier, would have been outside leader, and away and gone when leader died. But hey, thats racing.
  24. Thought shadow minister good odds, unlucky last start. Thought some very good fixed odds at overs, worth a dollar ea way. Senorita marg $41, with the band $26, and melt down $81, good value. Stellar success $34 could lead all way, dont look back great course stats. Hes a ladies man, christ you would think it would win by miles if it goes half as good as last start. Standout$10, must include in last also, didnt look comfy on grass last start.
