Walt Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 (edited) why a horse that won at Rangiora today has not many more races instead of just three? Was driven out like she was the best horse in the race despite many of her runs being in amateur drivers races which in it's self tells a story. There were a couple of reasonably good horses in the field that were clearly there to race. Was seriously had on in front but refused to yield until the driver had little option but to hand up later in the race. Under the circumstances many would have expected the mare to tire before the finish as other rivals did. Instead, this mare joined in again from the trail and won fairly comfortably. Very very tough mare. She was in good form but is clearly tougher and better than I ever gave her credit for. I haven't mentioned her name as I don't wish suggest anything dubious only that I was surprised by what I viewed but those who watch their share of races will know who I'm referring to.

Onwardsandupwards? It has had 8 or 9:starts Walt! Came from Nathan Williamson ‘s stable. Yes was a good tough run today and had been in amateur races and had been going well in them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Edge is a strong supporter of the amateur drivers races so I assume this mare was purchased with those races in mind. Rightly or wrongly when I see a horse starting in those races I tend to view them as those being the best opportunity for them to get a dollar. She's a tough mare who had a good draw so taking advantage of that made sense. Her winning was only a mild surprise. What to me anyway was a much bigger surprise is that she could work three times in the race and still win comfortably like she was a red hottie. Some of her rivals were tired horses at the end of the race but she looked like she could go around again. Lot of bottom to the mare and was driven with enormous confidence by inform Jonny Cox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
