Gammalite Posted December 9, 2023 Author Share Posted December 9, 2023 Race 1 and it's The WOLF taking the early lead . Not with 'Lone Wolf' either . But with the Carter Dalgety horse 'Fernetti' .. I bet the Brodster wanted that one !! (with Carter driving) but has to settle for the 6 points for 2nd place instead. Sam Ottley looked home too. just pipped POINTS After Race 1 The WOLF 8 points, The Brodster 6 points, The Horseman 4 points, Chief 2 points. 1st 5 FERNETTI CARTER DALGETY FT - - 1.60 1.10 2nd 6 MAJOR TORQUE SAMANTHA OTTLEY FT - 2.60 3rd 10 LONE WOLF SARAH O'REILLY BL - 3.30 4th 1 TEMPO WARRIOR GEMMA THORNLEY FT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WOLF was looking for the running double , but his Merc ran out of petrol and Brodster sailed on by to take out the first Group 1 of the Day for Diamond racing. Brodie and the WOLF giving the field the slip so far ?? Chief muscled his way into 3rd place there. POINTS After Race 2 The WOLF and The Brodster both 14 points, Chief 6 points, The Horseman 4 points, and Blackie makes it on to the board 2 points. 1st 6 TYRON EROS JOHN DUNN FT - - 5.20 1.80 2nd 5 THE MERC BRAD WILLIAMSON FT - 3.90 3rd 1 BRING ON THE MUSCLE BRENT BARCLAY FT - 1.30 4th 2 TIME FOR VICTORY RICKY MAY FT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gammalite Posted December 10, 2023 Author Share Posted December 10, 2023 Race 4 and it was Now or Never for NoworNever with Empire City . and it turned into Now. He picks up the 8 points with a bold front running Win with the nice three year old filly trotter. Phil Williamson showing his class preparing these trotters. Ricky May the surprise Group 1 Driver there for him ? 🤔. The Wolf with 4 points in 3rd there continues to dominate the BOAY field. The Brodster only 4th with Marky Boy so a lower than expected 2 points for that scored. POINTS After Race 4.

He knew he if he could cross the favorite that he could hand up to his stablemate, who would keep the lead and take him to the passing lane. He knew nathan williamson would either probably have to come and race parked or stay 3 back on the inside. Either way it was to his advantage.When nathan williamson stayed 3 back the inside he knew blair orange is so cunning that he would go as slow as possible so to help oranges chances by not letting williamson out. and so it played out just as he planned.$65,000 for him and blair orange a $19,000 stake for 2nd. thanks for coming he would have been thinking. I didn't back him myself,just admire those fellas driving skills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I bet he would of liked to do the same in the 2 year old trotting fillies just then too. with Blair giving him cover with High Step coming around . But with Empire City and Ricky May having none of those shananigans , he controlled the front and won well. Marks horse surprisingly not 2nd in the end .

Gammalite Posted December 10, 2023 Author Share Posted December 10, 2023 Half way there. The New Zealand Oaks is won by a nose by Telfers. Mantra Blue was like a Sea-sick sailor and didn't want to Win It for Gamma . so 6 pts is all we get. It's NoworNever again for 2 in a row and reeling in the WOLF is on his agenda.

Gammalite Posted December 10, 2023 Author Share Posted December 10, 2023 BeachBall should of been at the Interdominion after his Nz Cup Placing, as could near of Won it but chose this race instead so gets himself a Summer Cup I spose and a few bucks. The WOLF is the 'Leader of the Boay Pack' and steals away by another 8 pts. Took the last number available too in the Lucky 5 barrier. Can he hang on ? NoworNever with 4 pts from American Me is the closest challenger .

Was like watching old Sundee's Son bury them in spectacular fashion. The Queenslander a battling 4th , rightfully Not knocking off some of the world's best Trotting Trainers. Hope 4th paid enough for his trip though hopefully. gave it a go . good on em ' Chief takes the money there from the Pole with a Great John Dunn drive !!! well done Chief .

The aussie went huge. I think the race changed when tony herlihy overdrove his horse when leading. That i thought was unexpected and it meant the gaps would be more likely to come for those back in the field. It was an exciting race though with sunny's sister a worthy winner.

Well the all stars came unstuck in the fillies race. mark purdon on his game,but sam ottley's drive madrid, seemed to be a sacrificial lamb.Thats the way it goes sometimes i suppose. In the colts race you had 2 drivers who executed a bit of team driving that benefited both,which makes sense,in that race just run that wasn't the case.

How good was that winner ?? wow it zoomed away from them. Mantra Blue might have won like that too (if Butcher drove it like that ) The winner very impressive,but it was in the perfect position to capitalise on the tactics of the leader.Zac butcher bounced back to win that one. Mantra blue i think lost the race today by how z butcher drove it the week before.It couldn't replicate the same run this week. I just couldn't understand what he was thinking last week.It had galloped in excess of 150m ,yet he still chased the field then drove it out hard to the finish and gave it a very hard run,only to be disqualified. This week was its big race,not last week. I know its easy just watching them,but i do think sometimes even the really good drivers make some strange decisions. Thats why blair orange and mark purdon are our best 2 drivers,they just don't seem to make mistakes.

Gammalite Posted December 10, 2023 Author Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) Merlin makes it a race to race double for Barry P and Scott P and is the Nz Derby Champion. Mark beaten again. Thought a month ago Don't Stop Dreaming would donkey-lick them like AKUTA did last year. But with Akuta beaten in the Cup , and Merlin in great form too (owned by the ENTAIN CEO I believe) is the DERBY Champion . well done Northerners to pull that off. The Galah has smacked Brodster in the face there and takes the 8 points in the BOAY Derby. 'Blackie' driven hard , and whips cracking gets 3rd (and 'Sooner the Better' did too) 😎 the 'Wolf' continues his merry way/day with a 2 pointer for Jolimont a very nice 4th. POINTS After Race 9.
