the galah Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) Just watched a part of the box seat. Micky g stating,the purdons coming to auckland is like the greatest training team possible in the world that could possibly set up,to help the auckland club. As i pointed out earlier,the n purdon/m purdon training partnership ,on last years figures had 213 starters for the whole of 2024. They didn't rate in the top 20 trainers/starters numbers wise in nz. This year,in the first 7 weeks they have had 12 starters.not even in the top 60(probably more but i gave up counting)for providing starters so far in 2025. Mickey g.really is easily excited. settle down old son,as your sounding just a tad hyperbolic . Edited February 19 by the galah 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newmarket Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Yeah, over Micky G, needs to go get some more plastic surgery, christ his middle name should be Sistema… As for the Purdons, Mark & Nat had a real streamlined team operating down here a few yrs back, everything was going sweet….then all went crazy. They split up, not involved in driving or training…. somebody else running stable, son goes to Aus, Nat starts driving on occasions now gone… those running stable gone…. mark back, then gone, son comes back to train, mark back driving now going to Auckland…. what else have I missed? I have left out all of the rumours to be fair…. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowornever Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Wouldn't be surprised if Nathan up and left for Australia again next year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would imagine that if the normal big spending owners do continue to support the AllStars stable in Auckland, then they will obviously win plenty of races. Yes there will be more horses racing in auckland due to them being based up there, but will this actually transform into more horses medium term? There are buggerall horses and owners up there at the moment, but if there is domination from another stable, possibly may have consequences? Anyway hopefully HRNZ and TAB/Entain do know what they are doing for the best interests of harness racing. ATC really do need to get massive funds into their coffers, as nothing surer is that Entain will not indefinitely prop up North Island harness racing as much as they currently are! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gammalite Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Well pretty poor for the Allstars tonight. Ray Green/Delaney winning both the races , where Mark had the $1.40 favourite in each . Mark gave WITHOUT YOU in race 1 and DEMON BLUE in race 6 beautiful trails , but didn't Win either race.😳 Can't see 'Demon Blue' winning any Derbies this year on that run ? . Might need an Aussie trainer to sharpen him up a bit ? 😋 Ray Green and Nathan Delaney trainers having a good night so far with 3 winners 💰👍 and should be Winning Race 8 as well, would need a power outage to stop them winning that one ? 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not listen to them and do your own research. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
