Gammalite Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 The Big races begin for a month at the Constellations carnival.🌞 Starting at Redcliffe this week. Simply Sam favourite for the $106,000 Redcliffe Cup ? How 😳 ? Only won one race last year in NZ from 26 starts, and one race in Oz by a nose back in April. Surely a Top horse like old Auckland Cup Winner TURN IT UP will eat him up🏆 . It's even off 10m behind on level terms? . (Turn It Up has won near 30 races in Brisbane and should kick his backside. Grimson Apprentice 'Grima' with the ''Boat race horse from Auckland that time in Classy Operator. Has had a bit of Go-Go juice lately so could be hard to beat . Nathan Purdon having a crack too with MAJOR HOT in the Redcliffe Derby and TREACHEROUS LOVE in the Redcliffe Oaks . Chance to win both of those for NZ all going well.

Gammalite Posted June 29 Author Share Posted June 29 (edited) Aroda wins it by lengths. An easy Redcliffe Cup Victor. A good training feat by Grant as the NZ bred ARODA (4 starts at Addington way back 2022) was the Only horse in the field to Not of won a Metro (city) class race ever. Led all the way for his wife Trista to break that duck completely in a Group 2. well done Trista. TURN IT UP really did turn it up sadly, and made a couple of breaks during the running and just not trying hard anymore. Just a shadow of his glory days now. SIMPLY SAM a very false favourite loomed up to 2nd on the final bend , then just dogged it , running erratic and diving about and knocked a rival into a gallop even. eventually 4th. shows why he .only won once in Nz last year from 28 starts . not really that good. Classy Operator scratched for Grima so to start the old Herlihy horse from the pole draw for Swayzee s owner Boots. the emergency runner galloped out though and no chance back along the inside when well backed too. alas Nathan Purdon not winning Oaks or Derby. Major Hot running 2nd in Redcliffe Derby from bad draw on 2nd row. maybe the QLD Derby later on could have more luck.
