5 Most Notable Things to Happen in NZ Racing in 2018


hesi

Recommended Posts

The most notable thing for me was the emergence of BGP at Karaka Millions in January the energy and atmosphere the group brought to the track......NZ racing is dead this group is unique they were a breath of fresh air

NZ racing now need to capitalise on this unique situation and somehow introduce other teams and create a league similar to the Big Bash 10 teams of 5 have the media involved call it the sport of kings league where these punting teams go head to head at the tracks if each team spent 50k they would have a turnover of 500k

Racing needs atmosphere they need to attract young people to the sport they need these people to understand by forming a syndicate you can afford to become an owner once you do this you will have a domino effect they will open a TAB account 

Racing in NZ can’t create a Everest a Melbourne Cup Winx atmosphere they need to create their own unique way which they can showcase racing to the NZ public

Its time to take on BGP grow what they have created and showcase it to the NZ public create a racing league have them at the track give it that T20 atmosphere show them racing is the coolest sport to be involved in the whole country

1) I was genuinely shocked when Felaar didn't win the Cup, given the hype and expectation from the ownership group. Sir Pete and Swampy Marsh were incredibly bullish, in their confidence of winning the race......in fact it was getting a tad hysterical  at one stage. Thankfully, the third owner kept a level head and both feet firmly planted on the ground. Never mind, how sad, for my wallet.

I wouldn't mind owning him though. Looks a promising type.

 

2) The rise of the syndication groups in NZ continues to surprise. Why would anyone want to own a race horse, given the disgraceful stakes on offer you may well ask.

Te Akau, Go Racing and the beautiful Bylie Kax have all had well deserved success with first time owners involved in winning significant races. Well done to them.

 

3) Slamming Sammy Weatherley continued his cast iron certain rise to the top of the Sydney Jockey ranks. He initially learnt heaps from Sir Lancelot (I hope he's forgotten the bit about water troughs in spelling paddocks), and has grown another leg under Winx Waller. Get out to Ellerslie today or make sure you you watch all six races on Trackside ( put the mute on except when Georgie does the call) and see for yourself what giant strides the young fella has taken.

We already have a plethora of mighty Kiwi Midgets flying the flag in Oz. Macca, Mickey, Jason, Damien and a heap more to boot, but Slamming Sammy is heading straight to the top. Funny how he got involved in racing in the first place, given his Mum and Dad and grand parents are a not into it, apparantly.

 

4) Is there a bigger bunch of soft cocks in racing than the NZ TAB bookmakers? 

Seriously, ladies, put your big girl's pants on and start offering odds that will attract genuine punters back to your organisation. Is it any wonder that most of us have at least one off shore account?

2018 has seen a further decline in your overall capability to create an urge to bet with you.

 

5) Whisky Whinney Peters is taking the piss, surely, in his hollow and contrived ministerial manner. The guy has no genuine desire to fix NZ Racing. He is a trougher, in fact his nose is so far up the arse of those who shower him with gifts and booze, he lost his ability to think for himself.

There is only one way this industry is getting out of the shit it has put itself in. Shut down for six months, just like NSW did a few years back, sure, for different reasons, but look how strong they came back under a leadership that had balls, and a supporting government that loves the tax that wagering generates.

Far fetched - I don't believe so.

SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE

Nice summation Diceman. One small correction though, Sam Weatherley's father Darryn and grandfather Dan were both jockeys.

getting very very tired of this endless 'rivalry' and discussions about RC. Take a cue from Frozen, Hesi, and:

Let it go, let it go ...

BOAY does not need to be compared with or rated against other sites.

It is important for people who read this site, or people who may be interested in becoming involved, to know where we sit after 9 months, and to know we are not any longer a minor player.

Many will have already drawn a positive conclusion about BOAY, but it is still important to put a little bit of data out there to dispel the propaganda.

Surely for their to be considered an emergence of a trainer at TA they have to start to be regularly competitive in Aus? 

They just have such high quality bloodstock,control a number of riders and the competition in NZ is thinning out at an accelerating rate , they seem to have a 2yo for just about every race , summed up considering all those factors they are doing what they should be doing considering the firepower they have.

The best one involving the RIU was that they can change rules to suit the situation now...

The AMAZING deeds of Arron Kuru....while FALLING...

...you know a fall is when the shoulder and hindquarter of a neddy slides along the ground for 50M...then the Jock became unsaddled....but who cares

The RIU certainly didn't!

Next morning we had Williamson saying "but the (fall) was all in one motion...

...so it's not a fall"

Hahahahahahahaha

Good use of made up stuff to fit the crime... of....FALLING

Is being regularly competitive in Australia a new benchmark for TA? I can't recall TA ever being "Regularly Competitive" in Aus!

Apart from the 2016/17 season with Gingernuts winning the G1 Rosehill Guineas and Melody Belle winning the G2 2yo race in Brisbane, you actually have to to all the way back to the 2008 Sydney Autumn; when Princess Coup placed in Stakes races. That would have been the last TA trained horse to be competitive in Australia. That's a long time between stakes performances in Australia!

Melody Belle, TA Shark and TA's current 2 and 3yo team still have Autridge's polish and education, so I would suggest that a better measure of J Richard's success as a trainer will be with the result of TA's 2 and 3yo team in the 2019/20 season.

I'd say its the benchmark for that stable considering the factors I've already mentioned. There are only 2 or 3 stables in the country with the bloodstock to compete with them probably 30-50 in Aus.
