Australasian Young driver Championship

[Gammalite]

About to go , and was going to go check out the action , but the horses are that slow it's almost embarrassing. the ones that they have put in the heats. haven't even heard of most of them they're that obscure lol. 🤣

Tomorrow night at Albion Park in Heat rounds 4 , 5 and  6 , they are on the slowest of the slow even. NR 30 rated horses  in heat 6 😳 is as slow as you can get. You can't get any lower. Poor old Wilson House has drawn one of those 🙄. They can't break a. 2.00 mile so will be strung out like Browns Cows . 

James Herbertson is a bit of a smokey here 😅🤣. nah seriously he has been driving for 9 years already and has near a couple of thousand race Wins nearly. He is driving Rakero Rebel in the Interdominion Final on Saturday night even, , and has won 6  x  Group 1's  by the age of 25. 

He should run rings around these Juniors  , that are  jumping on these strange slow horses.

I'll call it Now, that he'll win 5 of the 10 Heats. so half of the races being run for this championship.  He's that far ahead of the rest. he might as well be named Leap To Fame.

Give him the Cup now ? Like in photo below lol 👍😎

Carter of course has Group 1's wins with Republican Party , so will run second for New Zealand in it (all going well ). Good luck to All the Combatants !!!!

Loud mouth , boasting Australians get me everytime, going to win this, going to win that.

Take a boxed F4: Carter x Wilson x Sam x Harrison, won’t be far away.

Go the Kiwis!

Calling the horses they are driving today as slow,embarrassing and obscure i find a bit amusing gammalite.

i'm sure you have heard of most of them. i only watch occasionally and would have heard of more than i haven't. The 3rd heat  they are driving in today, the horses have all won over $100,000 ,several over $200,000 and one $386,000. 

tommorow night,which you describe as the slowest of the slow, they are driving horses that would be like r40-50 in nz,apart from that heat 6..

but you've drawn my attention to the series which i'm guessing was your intention.

Ist heat due to start in a couple of minutes. i'll have a look.

your man j herbertson wins. You can pick them gammalite.

Carter dalgety 2nd with a nice drive.

Wilson house on a 90/1 shot drove it likehe thought it had no chance. It probably would have run a place if he had followed dalgety,but was held up instead  and ran about 5th.

Tuesdays are usually good . 1.55 horses.

Wednesday night is usually Redcliffe with 1.58 horses . but they're running it here this week so the Juniors can drive on nearly the best track in the Southern Hemisphere.

As predicted James Herbertson Completely OUT-drove All of them in Heat one . Except for Carter.  who followed him all the way for a clear-cut Second.  so easy to see the better drivers. 👍

Gamma Collects 5 bucks of the quinella paying $18 without even having to think or raise a sweat lol 😋 ??

(should of taken 10 bucks worth but am not greedy 😉)

Gamma, Oz have s lot more junior drivers than what NZ does and they probably drive in more races?

What I would say is that our top juniors would leave the Ozzies for dead.

Herbitson might be OK but Carter would be better!

A Fair call mate. I've been quite happy backing Crystal, and Harrison and Carter over the past year. And got quite good results really.

The juniors here in Oz go round and round that often they make you giddy.  you couldn't possibly follow them and get anywhere. Tassie very good at supporting juniors as are 'cheap' horses racing there.

Our 2 Big QLD stables both give their NSW junior stable driver about 20 drives per week . young Tom Callaghan for Pete McMullens stable ( driving in race 10 today) and the young Chappell lad , another teen from NSW gets a whole heap of Dixon stable (slow horses)  drives.

That's the way to do it Brodster ! send em' round and round. they can only get better and learn more each drive👍.

Your NZ most experienced Bloke , Sam Thornley drove a 'bold' race just now (on 'Kash Tin' in the 2nd Heat ) . But didn't quite get there . 3rd was his lot. certainly made them run hard down the back in 27 seconds though  😅. got them off the bit lol.  maybe went for it a bit too soon.?

Its a race for the old veterans . 7 years old plus. Most of these old boys won their races many years ago to win that money.  Think i'll stick with Herbertson. Miracle Moose a Cambridge winner twice back in 2019 🤣.

old Barry Purdon horse there too. ''Major Jellis' started in a Franklin Cup once. 

they still try hard. Jordy, Major Jellis , Obi One and Miracle Moose still ran placings in 1.51 and a tick last start . home in 55 seconds last half . How good are these old warriors ?  juniors might make em' go 1.50 ???? 🤣😎  

Tuesdays are nearly always $9,000 races , so one of these old pensioners,  will be taking home $5,481 to add to his rocking chair collection of cash.
