Westview be working lol Looks Like Muscle Mountain has pulled out of the Trotters Sprint already when hearing you had taken on the WOODEND slot Mr Brodie 😉 that's a bit of bad luck lol. (ya still got Mr Love , Midnight Dash and High Grove running in that race anyway ) I see Got The CHocolates has drawn the Ace in race 3 , the Sires Stakes Heat. Looks a living certainty on his huge runs lately from bad draws. there's No 'Marketplace' in this race either. So is my best of day and should be winning for your WOODEND slot , and Mikey's GOOD Draw Slot , and Chief's 3rd WORLD Slot as well (3rd at last start) Give it strength 💰😎 (and now he runs for the GALAH's Three Barrelled name SLot too lol ) looks sure to get the choc's alright. 🍫 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claiming Oscar and DSD as North Islanders. Bit of contraversy there. 😆😅 TABman pulling the whip early . looking for strong recruits. those parochial Southerners will be having kittens thinking of the current Dominion H'cap champ 'OscarB' and NZ Cup hope 'Don't Stop Dreaming' as North Islanders 😋 sure, Oscar went up to Cambridge 'on holiday' with Mark to visit his partner for a wee while. Think DSD just went to Hayden Cullens though, for his pre-training before returning to Rolleston. Northern Raiders more likely Ray Green's team, Zac with Mantra Blue, and BarryP/ScottP with their 10 runners. Nice try TABman > but this isn't rugby 😎😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cardigan Bay Medal going to the winner. Slot 1. Mikey Slot 2. Ranga Slot 3. The Horseman Slot 4. Blackie Slot 5. Slot 6. Gamma (will take on the 2nds ) Hope they're not all 2nd raters lol. Slot 7. TABman Slot 8. Brodie Slot 9. Chief Slot 10. The Galah One Slot left to fill, for a Junior Player to take on all the Junior drivers. Will be riding with the Republican Party in the Flying Stakes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gammalite Posted October 26 Author Share Posted October 26 Slots are filled. Westview in the Number 5 slot. Have noticed that UNHINGED has the Junior driver on his horse 'Rock Lobster' in R6 . junior Korbyn Newman driving the 'Lobster' , and also driving 'Hi Life' in R1 from the Dunn stable as well so some sort of chance. So in respect for Nigel, BOAY can give a Slot for his horse, (and picks up the Carter Dalgety drives too, for a bit of fun.) Rock Lobster possibly getting his only career chance in a slot race. 😂 See you for the BIG Day Monday 🏆🍻 hope you all get to see the great racing. Will post some updates here throughout the Day Monday of the great Harness Racing action and Slot points gained as we go along . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trained until recently at Matamata and attended Pukekohe trials. DSS didn't travel to be based in Matamata but Millwood Nike [since retired] and Akuta accompanied Oscar.I also note Steven Reid has one in too , so my small boutique team may yet surprise ,particularly as we have the best current drivers in NZ ,Tony H and Zachary B.

White Flag ? with no Oscar 😅 . Lucky the kiwi cricketers were braver than that against the Indians while playing test cricket recently 😂 . The Northern Team very small on Number , but let's have a look. Race 3/ Sugar Ray :strong chance of 2nd Race 4/ Racey Girl : strong chance of 2nd Race 5/ Sandra Dee : like wise , plus that other Grease runner #14 Hot FAV Race 7/ Next level, Better Knuckle Up 2nd, Jerimiah $3 FAV in the 3 yearold classic Race 9/ Mach Shard (probably gallop away) Merlin Hot FAV , Cold Chisel , Big LEB, in the flying stakes. Race 11/ Mantra Blue: Red Hot Fav in the Mares sprint. Looks like a NEAR WINNING SLot TABman ? could get 40 points . verdict : OSCAR BONAVENA claim as a North Islander REJECTED. BUT because I'm a considerate bloke 😎 and uncertain whether Amanda Telfer is based in the North Island (while Steve does the South) or any sort of set-up like that, you can have their 3 runners. Alta Meteor R9, Bettor's Anvil R3, Sweet Diamond R11. ooh la-la 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
