Yes well done Pitty.  Great to see a great supporter of West Coast racing getting a great result in the big one. And who was it bagging southern form on here a couple of weeks back?

Come in Barry......

Dee and gee 2nd? Great results by south island, but you must ask about lack of quality horses in nz at the moment. No wonder race times are not getting quicker

Probably due to them plastering water on tracks as much as horse quality wouldn't it? Not that I am saying horse quality is comparable to earlier times.

What were times like, they certainly didnt come from the back like in the past. Gore was the same, tough day at both venues i reckon

Thought I had a good day on the punt, with Dee n gee  the quinella with the two raise the flags Iman Jima and countess ruby. Got my bets on early only only to discover for some reason I hadn't, bugger, new site got me bamboozled, my fault for not double checking.

I got caught the other week, thought I had a nice trifecta, but after the race went to look at my account and total funds still the same, checked my betslip and the bet was still on there, i know I had pressed "accept" but sometimes I notice now I get an 'accept" then another "accept" straight after bloody frustrating!

Done the same. 

I have to be careful, aus apps let you just put amount on exotic bets, so spend $30 will get you a %. 

Tab app gives you same option, but i have clicked on top option, which lets you place $1 units, luckily for me today, i didnt have $5k in acc, otherwise it would have accepted bet, and it lost, oouuch

Yeah, I thought I'd done it right, glad in one way Dee n gee didn't win, was around 80s fixed, but very frustrating, how many times do you have to push except button. Also missed out on the gore cup winner to, never any hassle with old site.

The times in the two Group One’s were excellent. 

The Telegraph time was won in 1.06 and change. Not far off the track record and the record was set on a lightning fast track!!

Back then that the winner (and others) probably couldn’t walk freely for 10 days!

Don't quite believe that 1.06, seem just to fast on what looked like a dead track, certainly was great racing there yesterday, with those tight finishes, and top showings from the south, I need some practice on the new tab site.My bets never went on and that was the only sour note of the day.Will have to check them all next time.

See below (ex Race Base) Enzo's Lad's time yesterday 1:06:95 is 7th fastest since 1996. No surprise that Trentham and Riccarton dominate...Ellerslie appears 3 times in the Top 100 !! As noted by Fred, Trentham and Riccarton 1200m layout are dog-legs, therefore conducive to faster times. Would be interesting to know 1200m track record at Flemington ('straight six')

Back to back, topweight,  three of the first four home southern horses.....wow.

Take a bow,  Pitty.

You can't beat Australian breds when it comes to sprinting....

...even better than North Islanders down there!

Great they're always looking to the bigger plan too

Hong Kong make great tailored suits...and Pitty could do with a new one!
