TAB For Ever Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 We read so much negativity on-line , isn't it time to take stock of our Assets and see the Equity in NZ Racing . Sure betting on Horse Racing among Kiwis has been dwindling in recent years but the Quality of our Horses and Horse people continues to dazzle. During the weekend the brilliance of Chris Waller and James McDonald again made headlines , as did our NZ -bred horses ...as they do week in and week out. Belclare surely a standout with a great back ground story. Bjorn Baker another who is being noticed as well as to the Collett family who have been riding with much success of late ...don't take my word for it , check their recent winners . Jason ,Alysha and Samantha. Earlier in October Mark Walker had won 7 races from 11 starters including a number of black-type races. The Aussies are surely taking notice. And to cap off a good weekend ,for those who bat for both sides and follow Harness driver Dexter Dunn again won some of USA's top races and is widely considered one of best drivers in world. The above is to get a thread started. Add your own post of Kiwi success and achievement ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been exporting many of our best horses, trainers and riders for a long time. Unfortunately, we now seem to be exporting our best owners and punters at an alarming rate. Among other things, when it's cheaper to fly from Christchurch to Sydney and back than to Hamilton and back, it's little wonder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't agree with that. one of the best 'Horse minds' in the history of racing has returned. Graeme Rogerson . Won the Melbourne Cup (although more of a LLoyd Williams success that one) but also a Cox Plate and lately Sharp and Smart . Big wins in Sudney and Nz Derby. and he races trotting horses to boot , that are currently winning each week (with help from James Stormont.) left but came back to support Nz racing. Wiremu Pinn came back? . seems a solid type of jockey. 'Can't Kach Me' last Saturday he said😉. Nathan Purdon was winning Group 1's in Australia for Nz owners of Amore Vita who won all sorts not long ago, He has Amazing Dream winning Group 1's too for her American owners while in Oz. Nathan has returned to NZ now, as ''knows' there to be a Future for Nz racing. Please Just tell the bugger to get fit , and drive them himself like his World Class dad did. 😂. instead of slacking off on the sidelines. I saw him win 14 races driving in 3 weeks once in a QLD raid with a team of Trittons . so know he can drive a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
