[Nowornever]

I will take Barrier (3)

[Brodie]

Put the Brodster down for 6, Gamma.

Will be a day for the hotties!

[Gammalite]

N.B    The Number 9 will be bracketed with number 10 throughout the day.

This makes up for the 2 races that are already without a number 9 on the program ...and No.9 Rachmaninov looks to be no chance in the New Zealand Trotting FFA group 1 race at the end of the day.

So the person riding with the 'Bracket' will now have the great ghostly grey Trotter in SMOKIN BANDAR in the last race as well now , and be a great chance of getting in the money.

Looks like you had your 'i' out for that one  😅. Best 2 keep 2 'i's in , for a Competition headline ya reckon ? 😁    but how's your chances going for victory?.

The markets are saying 

Race 1   Favourite number 5 at $2.00  Fernetti

Race 2  Fav No. 3                    at $3.20    Look To Da Stars 

Race 3  equal favs Numbers  2  + 4  at $1.85   Dreams Are Free + We Walk by Faith 

Race 4  Fav No. 3  at $2.00    Empire City 

Race 5  Fav No 8  at  $1.85   Mantra Blue      (millwood Nike now scratched) 

Race 6  Fav No 7  Self Assured $1.70      also  (Beach ball No.5  at $2.30 ) 

Race 7  Fav No 8  Not As Promised  at  $2.40 ??? what is going on over there ? .

How Short is Short ??

A Queensland trotter? beating Nairn's, Williamson's, Dunn's and/or Purdon at Addington ? 😅🤣  QLD has never even had a good trotter before . Surely you guys aren't going that bad after the rugby and cricket world Cups that a Queensland trotter can win at Addington against the best trotting trainers going. My word . things have slipped a bit there maybe? New Government not helping yet ? need Inca back ? 😁  Must be paying more than $2.40 over there Fixed surely ??

Race 8.  Fav No 6  Madrid at $4.20

Race 9  equal Fav's No  4 + 6   At $2.20   Merlin and Don't Stop Dreaming . 

Race 10  Fav No 7  At  $1.40   Old Oscar B the shortest of the day  . 

 

Not a lot of 2's there Blackie ? . But 'Dreams Are Free'  mate . Trying to Beat Marky Boy with that one in race 3  ? lol .. good luck with that 😎

adjustment :  (Blackie odds now 20-1 to win the day)

[Blackie]

Don’t worry about that Chiefy boy down in number 1, Blackie will be doing everything he can to cross him and make him disappear back on the fence.

Let’s hope I’m cheering for Harold Smith in the last, and please don’t let that Aussie win the Trotting Derby, never hear the end of it from the Aussies on here.

Queenslander is in Chch  town to show some fine winning style mate. Nz Trotting Derby for Not As Promised sounds a great !!  after ya were Getting a bit 'run over' after the Rugby and Cricket world Cups and Swayzzzzeee doing his Nz Cup trick over Akuta. (lucky Imperatriz showing some fight to keep your country afloat 😂 😉 )

Some good news though , mighty Queenslander 'Leap To Fame' very likely to smack up old Swayzee next week in the Interdominion Grand Final to gather some retribution for Swayzee dishing it up to New Zealand .  😎
