The Slot Holders in The Velocity

Recommended Posts

Some of the horses that might go round in the VELOCITY are getting going 

Great Northern Derby winner COLD CHISEL is taking on the older horses at Auckland , including the best in the land of stable-nate Merlin, so he'll be 'warmed up' and sweating it out for sure and certain. and ready to rumble. 

Jerimiah and also LITTLE SPIKE ( who was 4th in the GN Derby) have resumed , and are in the 3 yearold race 5 tomorrow night Alexandra Park.  will they both chase a slot ?

The Galah just mentioned DREAMS ARE FREE going around down south. Will he chase the Big bucks like older brothers Don't Stop Dreaming did last year.  

A chance in the NZ Derby and slot race will be the 2 Horses who ran last and 2nd last in the Great Northern Derby earlier in year. MAJOR HOT and CHASE THE DREAM . they could Quinella the Velocity or the NZ Derby (or both)

Other slot holders are Dreams are Free synd who should be a contender. That horse's major Owner is Mr Fahy a genial Southland farmer and passionate Harness owner and breeder. His fellow owners in this horse are a bunch of young Southlanders , some in their first horse.

The Dunfords are a Father and Son combo who buy just one decent horse a year at sales and have have some amazing success from Mark Purdon barn. Their current contender would be 'We Walk By Faith ' .They partown the very talented 'Don't Stop Dreaming' and a few years  back won the Auckland Cup etc with 'Have Faith In Me'.

Studhome Bloodstock has been one of NZ's top breeders in recent years.

Summit Bloodstock is a huge Australian breeder/owner !

Yes of course TABman. WE WALK BY FAITH will have a slot for sure and certain , after his @nd in the Sires Stakes Final in May to CHASE A DREAM.  (and he placed in the GN Derby too)

The horse that beat We Walk By Faith last week when they resumed,  was also in the Sires Stakes Final and ran 5th in that . HARRISON JOHN  . he'll be in the Velocity too, by looking how well he is.

They're 'Addicted' for Life no doubt too TABman.

They (Summit Bloodstock) had the Winning slot in the Inaugural $2,000,000 Eureka Slot last year at Menangle with the now retired ENCIPHER mowing down the great horse himself in LEAP TO FAME no less. they sure are very lucky buggers!!. ( on 2 counts there last year)  .

4 weeks ago in this years Eureka ,Summit Bloodstock nearly won again , with Kerryn Manning driving HIGH ABOVE for them,( into 3rd spot for them and picking up 1/4 million odd.)

Gotta love the slots !! 

Luke McCarthy would anyway , having driven both the Eureka winners thus far.

Well maybe the Fillies could get a Slot too ? in the Big 3 year old slot race.

Because speaking of Summit Bloodstock , they are in the Ownership of COASTAL BABE.

Coastal Babe absolutely 'monstered them' in the Victoria Oaks heat at Melton last Sat. 

She was Zipping home in 26 seconds to destroy the Emma Stewart 4 x Horses in her heat and looks a Great Chance in the VIC OAKS Final this week.

Great to see a kiwi there. !!!  and a Huuge chance too. 

Likewise , AArdie B Miki  cleaned up the 4 x Emma Stewart Fillies in the first Oaks heat for trainer/driver Pete McMullen , owner Mike Tanev and Queensland !! (full sister to group 1 mare Aardies Express who won at Menangle again Saturday night as well)  pair of nice horses there owned by Canadian Mike. lucky bugger.  Mike breeding these 'Aardie' horse in NZ originally. 

Will be great to see the  NZ - QLD quinella next Saturday night in the VICTORIA OAKS Classic. potentially 😎🏆.   who is this Emma Stewart stable again? 

maybe they could both run in the Velocity afterwards. ? fantastic

footnote: Emma Stewart stable ran TRIFECTA in both the Victoria Derby Heats , so with 6 strong players in the DERBY Final this week , So she'll probably win that anyway. 😁

Maybe COASTAL BABE will start in the Summit Bloodstock slot ?

She was Super impressive in the Victoria OAks heat and Final past 2 weeks.
