Bit Of A Yarn

Early Contender for Slaughter of the Day

I don't really need to describe just how bad Jasmine Fawcett's ride on Ballon D'Or was, because I'm sure you all saw it.

I don't think we'll see a worse ride in NZ today (which is saying something).

Remind me how many winners you rode.

That's such an idiotic argument. I'm sure you have an opinion on how NZ is run by politicians, but how many countries have you run?

Don't think I'm the idiot somehow.

You're making a case that you can't criticise someone or something unless you have it yourself before. That's an idiotic argument. I'm not a TV channel, but I'm within my right to critique Trackside.

"Cameron George will stick his oar in somewhere, unfortunately."

You said this about George. How many clubs and/or NRL teams have you run? You see my point? Jog on.

Gave it a beautiful smooth trip and all but won? What was wrong with the ride?

The winner was third on the rail and it would have made sense to move to its outside, but she didn't make a move on Ballon D'Or until Class had already gone off and running - and barely got into the horse until 100m to go.

I get that style of ride at Riccarton with a long straight, but around Te Aroha?

Looked a bit unbalanced and lay in slightly on the turn and probably took longer to get going than she hoped. Ground? If it were mine, I'd be rapt, except that it didn't quite win of course. JMO.

Agreed. It was a very good run in defeat. I think my expectations might be too high for our jockeys, but it's much easier to judge the pace from the comfort of my couch.

I think if J Mac rode it that way in a four-horse field in Aus, he'd cop some criticism as well.

Te Aroha has a reasonably long straight isn't over 350m?  About 380m?  The corner is flat and a bit tricky to improve on.  Bit like Ellerslie in that respect.

I tend to agree. Waited far to long to go. Similar to the jockey on Wilydoit in the lead up to the Derby.

I didn't back the horse but I will next time.

They all make mistakes, we can call them slaughters as long as we don't make it a personal attack on the jockey.  

Is anyone able to put the stewards report up? I'm tipping they will have questioned the ride,although my tipping didn't go so flash today ,the group 1 2yo saved my arse from a clean out. Enough left to go again tomorrow.

Stewards did not report questioning the ride. https://loveracing.nz/SystemTemplates/RaceInfo/StewardsReport.ashx?DayID=53345&FileName=Report 2025-03-29 Te Aroha -.pdf
