BISOU BI...wtf??

Who saw that coming?

Great form around the Coast circuit...and as seasoned as Pork crackling...

But it just shows you what a change of environment does to tired old neddys 

Nige Tiley gets it to perform miracles in 2 starts

Poor Nige needs the money too...after getting fined for a bi carb violation in the Shunshine State in August

5k...ouch

Bisou would undoubtedly have been bi carb tested..no doubt...seriously...yes??

Anybody know?

Thought the answer would be fairly obvious.  Look at the two previous trainers.

Rudy Leifting   K Myers.

The horse is finally with a decent one.

 

 

It is an impressive piece of form- no doubt about it - and it's inevitably raised a few eyebrows. But heck thems is harsh words Ashley ... care to elaborate or qualify your comments?

Wet track, race on its doorstep all helped it.

You don't know much about racing if you think those two guys can't train.

My guess is that Ashley is referring to a more "corporate" type trainer, which fits the bill with Nigel, as opposed to the "farmer" type trainers of Myers and Leifting.

All three are solid trainers, but I believe Tiley would have the image and training style to make it in Australia. 

That being said, Darren Weir has a great record of running horses without much planning and thought, but it seems to work for him.

As much as we like to think that horses do best ina country environment, with long days out in a paddock or big yard, there are many examples of horses who have thrived when changed to a more controlled environment (I won’t use the expression “factory”).

I believe it’s routine that horses (and children) appreciate...it gives them confidence.

So this could be the case with Bisou Bisou...just a more structured routine.

Im entitled to an opinion and mine is that Tiley is a vastly superior trainer to both Liefting and Myers.   He has had this horse for two starts and has had two wins and already increased its value as a broodmare tenfold.   Whereas Myers is a journeyman he just drags horses all over the country to run multiple times against moderate opposition for pittance stake money.

Interesting...Tiles did say she liked her "box"

It'd still be interesting if they'd have tested her for bi carb though...

They don't reveal results in Arstralia for this...they feared some trainers would set a horse to a close limit...and Tiley came within 0.1 of being charged after a VERY random test nearly caught him out...

Funnily enough Godber used that very same excuse when it was suggested COBALT results should be posted...

...why then does he allow it for bi carb??...but that's the RIU for you

an organisation full of ambiguity

When you cannot say something good about a person you should just shut up.

The records of all 3 mentioned trainers affirm that they are all capable professionals.

The difference also lies in the type of riders they use.

Myers has stuck with the likes of Zinjite Moki for years despite her terrible record, Sarah McNab another, also other apprentices that no one would touch with a barge pole, he might be a decent trainer but when you put poor riders on you will get poor results.

The amount of winners he gets nowadays certainly seems to have dried up, although once the coast circuit starts up you would expect that to change.

Don't think so

Ironic, I thought the ride on Volpe Veloce was the biggest contributing factor in Saturdays win!

Yes, that is the wallet talking.

I said some very nice things about Nigel Tiley Fred and  I have my opinion you have yours.  If you consider 8 wins in 3 years is a great record in the case of Liefting you obviously have low standards.

8 wins in 3 years might be brilliant. I can't tell as I'd expect winners to come from horses that have the ability to win. Strike rates and number of wins doesn't define that.

and despite the fact he puts on riders that apparently no one would go near with a barge pole , he has still managed to finish in the top 3 in the Trainers Prem in 2 of the last 3 years,had a strike rate of under 10 whilst still preparing jumpers on the flat for races which some of these other stables would never do, not to mention the massive contribution he makes to local racing by having those apprentices available for race day rides, trials, jumpouts , trackwork etc.

Ever tried to get jocks for rides on a horse in NZ? If youre not in the in the big 10 stables in the country its pretty hard work.

Guys like Myers are gold for this game and then someone thinks a horse has improved out of sight after leaving the stable for 4 weeks and walking across the road to win a horse race.

Yes everyone is entitled to an opinion even if its wrong, I haven't seen many journeymen win a Derby before or train multiple winners like Scapolo , Duffers Creek,Overtheriver etc.
