Gammalite

Recommended Posts

Well while waiting for the Hunter Cup R6  and Great Southern StarR8  tonight , better get some support in the support races 🏆.

A team challenge to give some BOAY players a runner ( or  7) to cheer on and beat up their comrades.

The field for Race 8 the final Leg not drawn up yet as the heats are races 2 and 3 . So good Luck qualifying for the Final 🤣 of the Comp. in the Great Southern Star.

BLACKIE and BRODSTER rolling with the kiwi breds , to give the New Zealand market a boost. 

'TAB Forever' has the champions of Aus and NZ in  Luke McCarthy  and Mark Purdon driving them home for him. 

CHIEF has THE BIGBOSS naturally and YOUcantFINDaBETTERman of course. He has a 'Chucky' now and then so better give him that one as well lol 😉.

The GALAH will be flying into action with An Emma Stewart runner , and he is hoping 'Captain Hammerhead Moran' keeps his foot up tonight . 😎

GAMMA rolling with young gun James Herbertson for his drives and a odd  Couple of Interdominion Champions thrown in too . 🍻  

 

Horses drawn will be up very shortly !!!!

1.51.6 for THE LOCOMOTIVE in the 2nd race . The Interdominion Champion might be better than Just Believe.?

He zoomed away from them with the nice NZ horses LoveMeToo 2nd and OscarB 3rd. 

8 straight wins for THE LOCOMOTIVE now . he is a superstar trotter like Maori's Idol.

7 minutes ago, TAB For Ever said:

Just noticed Oscar having a nice warm up for final with strong sprint at end.

Didn't actually see the start.....

Oscar walked out of the gate carefully , so not to gallop, as was drawn out too, but got home nicely.

The Locomotive nearly Bolted on it's driver I reckon. That will take some of the sting out of him . 

Stewards have scratched LoveMeTo already. Why Not Run the Heats last night or at previous meeting ? would be best for the horses .

Race 5 Result . The PURE Steel for tough horses . 

and fittingly the tough NZer Triple Eight Wins . my pick for the race too as won it last year. 

He still has a kiwi part owner in Scott Plant too , who took him to Open class in NZ 6 or 7 years ago.

TRIPLE EIGHT , the tough kiwi wins !!!!! for Brodie in the Comp too.

Blackie zipped home for 3rd with kiwi bred Tango Tara , the other kiwi bred was 4th for Chief = Rock and Roll Doo. 

TABman had Luke drive a great race for him again to grab 6 points with 2nd placing 2 races in a row. 

and he takes the Lead ! off Chief. 

1st       12  TRIPLE EIGHT    GREG SUGARS    BL    -    -           11.70    2.60
2nd     5  EXOTIC BUSHRANGER    LUKE MCCARTHY    FT        -        1.50
3rd    13   TANGO TARA    KATE GATH            -                                      4.10
4th    11   ROCK N ROLL DOO    ANTHONY BUTT       

CAPTAIN HAMMERHEAD unplaced for the Galah after an ordinary Moran drive in the death . Maybe should of dropped a foot or something ?

I hate Swayzee . a new track record. keeps beating me all the time . Akuta in the NZ Cup , and then DSD in a 2nd NZ Cup , and now Larry bites the dust. 🙄.

Cam Hart just drove too well . Mick G the genius is on saying swap the positions and the other one wins and gems like that. 🤣. can't he just congratulate the winner and stop anal- lizing now the race has finished.

Race 6 Result The Hunter Cup 

The Galah gets a win at last with the mighty Swayzee. 

That's one win each for the 6 players in the Comp across the 6 races so far. All very civil lol. 🤣.

The mighty QUeenslander had his chance but couldn't do it .

The 2 well drawn kiwi's both finished hard . Republican Party might have won if he led then trailed Swayzee but Carter's Uncle Ant's got in the way a bit lol 🤣.

1st 11   SWAYZEE CAMERON HART BL     5.60 1.90
2nd 8   LEAP TO FAME GRANT DIXON BL       1.04
3rd 1   REPUBLICAN PARTY CARTER DALGETY FT       1.90
4th 2   TACT MCLEOD ANTHONY BUTT FT
