Forbury Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Gemma Thornley you only put on your horse if you want downgrade in handicap rating that's all she is good for she's not good for abotaining a horses best possible finish position musclynn today was a prime example should of had trail early horse she let get trail drops dead on her she could of had one one trail CHOSE NOT TO instead chose 4 back the fence even if it ended up death seating it was still a better position the horse runs 4th and a better drive it wins or certainly placed Gemma Thornley is a pathetic driver who has zero future I certainly believe Gemma has cost everyone money more than making anyone money 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shad Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Tough call, I on the other hand been the benefactor of two of her drives on the coast, with Sinai Sermon, first day drove for luck and got the gaps, reefton put him in the perfect trail, and drove him well today I guess we see what we want to and talk through our pockets, but I think she's drives fine, but each yo their own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally i think people read your posts and go,those words are a bit harsh,but i can see what forbury means. But this time,i think you've been a bit hasty pulling the trigger thinking there was ammuntion in the gun,but turned out there wasn't any. Anyways,i watched the waimate cup today and thought what a great field they had. Tanzania ran another top race for 2nd. did you know hes competed in the timaru,akaroa,geraldine,rangiors,motukarara,amberly,ashburton and waimate cups and the rangiora classic,since mid november. hes won one cup,had 3 seconds and 1 third in the other cups. Yet hes only earnt $26,000. compare that to a horse like eagle hanover,a lower grade north island trotter who has raced in 3 races with higher stakes than tanzaniia ever has recently simply because hrnz fund auckland better, and who has started 4 more times in the same time frame and had 1 win,2 seconds and 2 3rds and hes earned only $5000 less at $21,000. Eagle hanover had his win at kapitit and his placings at manawatu and the low grade cambridge meetings. hes also ran a few fourths. a horse like topaz has earnt $10,000 in the same time frame yet is rated 20 points lower than tanzania. so,HRNZ is throwing money at the high class races and the 2 year olds,but taking the country cups horses in canterbury for granted.

Gammalite Posted Sunday at 10:19 AM Share Posted Sunday at 10:19 AM She's only a junior . so you can't expect miracles. Everyone on the forums is already singing the praises of young Wilson House . some more big wins Friday at Addington. and Crystal and the young Orange going real well too. The future looks veryy bright ☀️🌟 And I notice in race 4 last Friday driving 'awkward' trotters the FIRST 4 was the 4 junior drivers . An outstanding performance against the much senior drivers. 🏆 were not favoured runners either. No body got the First 4 at all, so pool carried over. The Present Maker - MM Sunshine- Buffy Northstains - Rachmaninov. driven by Wilson House 1st-Olivia Thornley 2nd -Mia Holbrough 3rd- Gemma Thornley 4th. Who is Mia Holbrough ? haven't heard of that one before? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowornever Posted Sunday at 05:28 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:28 PM Thats racing! Same could be said for Paige. If Sheree Tomlinson comes off the fence from four back she wins. Good enough to sit parked and win but also would have had the 1x1. Instead pushing them over the line and hard held with no room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
