New Zealand Cup 2025

[Gammalite]

Some horses resuming tonight in a quest for the Cup . 

BOAY favourite horse of Mo'Unga back in action tonight , and just plugging away tonight way back in the field  at a sloppy Addington.  25-1 for the Nz Cup.

Akuta a nice 3rd resuming . Can't find him in the Cup market , but you would imagine after his fabulous 2nd to Swayzee 2 years ago , it would be the goal.

The ALLstars have handed 'Don't Stop Dreaming ' over to the Cullen Stable after a bold 2nd to Swayzee last year , so maybe AKUTA is the Mark Purdon Special ?

can't actually find him in the the market?  . Chase A Dream for Allstars is 15-1 for the NZ Cup after his bold 2nd to Leap To Fame at Cambridge Betcha Slot.

AKUTA being prepared by his part owner Marky Boy , one of the Best Cup conditioners ever. sure to be a chance of threatening Leap To Fame ?.

Add any NZ Cup thoughts here as we go along on the Road to the Cup . sure to be a fabulous contest this year . The Interdominion Champion might turn up.

And Gamma , you probably have read that NZ Cup winning diver[ Yulestar ] has been given 10% of Akuta for his work in the rehab of Akuta.

Tony suffered a near-fatal race mishap , plus later a personal family tragedy , and has been transporting horses in recent times PLUS he harnessed up both Akuta with Mark P plus one in his own name Whatsonyamind at ATC tonight !

What an amazing Story ! I didn't see that.  i'm sure Tony Shaw has the right touch to see Akuta do very well this year. 

He is pretty famous in these parts (QLD) for Winning the Interdominion with Yulestar in 2001 at Albion Park. (from 4 back along the fence at the quarter no less, a performance guided by the racing gods I think) We were so impressed in Queensland , we renamed the street !! and Albion Park Brisbane now proudly stands on Yulestar Street ever since. What a great honor for Tony and the great horse.  and his late Trainer Mrs Nolan too. 

Tony not just with that horrid head injury from the race-fall to himself to deal with , but lost a teenage son to a traffic death. To come back from those terrible events must of been some of life's toughest battles for the bloke. Can only wish him every best wish going forward .

I will be SURE to be supporting AKUTA for him (Tony)  and Mark where-ever he goes.  some more tremendous Kiwis in the harness caper. Thank you for that great Highlight TABman !!! 🏆

The Broadster would be all over the $1.60 for Leap to Fame if he could get a bet on.

He probably can , just not sure if restricted to a max of 22.75, is that inviting 😁

Well he has to get there yet I spose. Currently showing $1.80 on Sportsbet. I did a few bucks last year with him being a bit crook and not making the trip over for the Cup in the end, in some early multi markets .

Swayzee  is $3.50 and Don Hugo is at $7.00.  both from NSW. Can't see Aus running a NZ Cup Trifecta surely not ? 

surely the best NZers can beat them on home turf ? Republican Party the best odds kiwi at $7.50 currently.

Sportsbet have the Dominion Trot up too. KEAYANG Zahara $2.50 , Bet N Win $4.00, Arcee Phoenix $5.00

That is really good value for Arcee Phoenix , the way he won the Interdominion. Would beat Keayang Zahara by many lengths you would think? . he was 4th in the Dominion last year and improved even more this year. 

the Other market on Sportsbet is the EUREKA Slot they have for the run for $2mill on 6th September.

so might take QLD mate Fate Awaits . won a few bob n him already and he might go to the 'Velocity slot at Addington too. he's a very smart horse. Our Luciano a track specialist there too. worth a look in Eureka at 20-1 .

 

Fate Awaits 11-1 Eureka, into Arcee Phoenix 5-1 Dominion, into Leap to Fame 'Larry'  $1.80 for the NZ Cup.  = 100-1.

so popping a tenner on now, gets me a $1000  . a nice start. will see who gets a slot and take some more.

am going to message Sportsbet now to send me an 'AKUTA' price. I'll see if they message back and let you know.

Na, not worth the effort, although they now have the $5k minimum payout fixed win!

Never have and never will wager on shorties like that!

Futures markets, you dont get refund if they don't start so why bother anyway.   I still haven't been able to find out in Tennis if you take a futures bet if you get refund if players pulls out.

hahaha do go bust looking for some loser on a Grass track Sunday. well worth a 1000 risk hahahah. no wonder NZ has only 10% betters to winners lol. 

Meanwhile Leap To Fame has wins  27 of his last 30 . (and 3 times 2nd). So Gamma keeps reeling in Multi after Multi.

Alas he didn't start in the NZ Cup last year so I lost about 30 bucks of multi's.  never mind.  Mikey is correct and there is some risk involved . certainly wouldn't bother with Gallopers.  when you bet in advance. But a small amount soon adds up over time and is fun to track along as you go. I Never do last minute Betting. To go with your shorties. As know who's a chance in Feature races and who isn't , Well in advance. 

But if you know they're set for the race like any Group 1 which are generally composed of only very few chances,  (instead of Blind Sundays when you don't even know if they're trying) . And you blokes want to lose your money on that shit guessing ?  . and want to put Large amounts too? you're as mad as cut snake. deserve what you get. 

 Best to Back GOOD horses in GOOD races. with good drivers and good trainers. You get GOOD results !! 5 x goods = 5 x more money than what you get on hacks lol.  

$1.80 is Excellent for Leap To Fame in the Cup . Keep the thousand in your pocket Brodster for some Sunday loser. No wonder you can only bet for a 'Place' and hope for the best with fingers and legs crossed in case you piss yourself ,hahaha on crap horses lol .

I did lose 50 on Don't Stop Dreaming in the last NZ Cup too , which was a bit disappointing since he got to the lead 100m out , but that bloody Swayzee got me again . Like he did the year before with defeating AKUTA too. 

Not a Hope in the world he can do it a third time soon 😎 . or Is there ????  🏆🏆🏆 bugger of a bloody horse lol.🤣

[mikeynz]

10% winners, I reckon that's about a 98% exaggeration lol, just watching Addington/A park,  most or all the big bets to win go awol, and are over the 5000 limit.

Gamma, each to their own with how you punt!

Brodie doesn’t punt on tight class racing for obvious reasons.

I would be surprised if there are many restricted harness punters that are betting on tight class racing, but you never know? Lol

Anyway always money to be made even if TAB try to shut you down.

What do you call tight class racing ? are any Friday night Races to your liking ?

I always review all the races to see who's winning, how were they driven, who was punted on , etc each Sat morn.

I think Mr Stockman is a Millionaire so has his big punts on any of the Telfer runners he feels like at any time, at that helps build a bit of revenue for the betting companies. Not sure with his amount of money , that he cares if he wins or loses the bets as is collecting enough prizemoney each week to pay the way of the Stonewall operation. 

Interestingly Barry Purdons 2 runners were very heavily tried at Alexandra Park and both ran 2nd. 

Addington had fairly well tried horses winning ok.

Race 1/ Rustenburg a good chance from the pole 1st as 2nd fav at $4.40 . $1.60 fav was unplaced.

Race 2/ Lily was $2.90 backed into 2.40 and ran 3rd.

Race 3/ Emma  $4.40 into 3.00  1st    Race 4/ Caught the Eye $2.00  1st   Race 5/  Buffy  $2.40   1st 

Race 6/ Ebony  $1.80  1st     Race 7/  Triple G $4.50 into 3.20  3rd   

Race 8/  Tu Tangata $4.80  . who in their right mind would back that? . one win in past 40 starts. none this year. craziness. 

Race 9/ Desert Dancer $3.20  into 2.60  4th    race 10/  Black Jack $1.50 throughout  1st.

So a pretty good night for supported runners . 50-50 whether they win or lose . Avoid the trots as too many inconsistant runners. Buffy Northstains and Comoron Strike. seriously ? neither had won in at least their last 10 starts so just crazy to back them out of the blue. 

If I had to Pick one horse on the night , probably Our Shangri Lana race 7 . after a couple of Addington Winter wins she looked ok. But it ran only 5th. did have a bad draw though.

At Alexandra Park the winning odds were 21/ 4/ 2 / 7/ 3/ 5/ 2/ and 6  with good trainers like Ray Green , Telfer, Bernie Hackett winning 2 of the 3 trots so no surprises there. 

Mark Purdon a LIVING CERTAINTY in race 7 with Andretti , Had 2 of the 6 runners and the other 4 were No Hope.

you could of had your $1000 bet on Andretti , and have a spectacularly good chance of winning . he had beaten Fugitive of Dalgety's at Waikato , so was going to eat these with the Grand Master driving.

But if you're going to put $1000 on something , say at Kurow tomorrow , you're as Mad as Alice in Wonderland Hatter.

What could you possibly put $1000 on at Kurow , if you could Brodie???. ( if you don't like good Friday Metro horses)  you Have the whole program to choose from . Give us Two runners. (in case one flops 😋)

I know you won't answer that Brodster, Because the Answer is NONE of the those sort of horses. some of the horses on the program are lucky to be worth $1000 . 🤣. and then you say $1000 is a small bet as well 😂😆.  funny times .

That Kurow Cup from a stand has a runner who won last 3 starts . must be some sort of chance with good driver??

interesting take on things.

How do we know its mr stockman punting on the telfer horses? maybe it is but wouldn't he want that kept private if he was.

as brodie said,whoever it is has to be a losing punter otherwise the tab would restrict that person.

also they highlight lots of big bets and you can tell some have to be from people who don't know that much, as they are backing horses at silly odds.

As to tu tangata,i agree with you there. Whoever backs that horse these days or tips it,must be eternal optimists. i think i highlighted its record earlier this year on a bit of a yarn. Its one of those horses that has shown for its last 50 starts,in which it has only had 1 win,it adjusts its performances downwards,depending on the grade it runs in. 

el conqueror another like that from that stable. Really el conqueror and tu tangata should be driven by a claiming junior and once thay get back into that r 40 grade then they can do a buffy northstains and be cash flow machines.

the biggest asset to the tab is the whale in my opinion.Not because hes not a good tipster,but because they market him in a way that encourages punters to bet on his horses at unrealistically short odds which they know will mean,in the big picture,they will always come out ahead.

buffy northstains did look the winner i thought last night. But at $2.50 not that inviting.A horse that has won 15 races and over 200,000 ,running against 1-2 win horses ,it seemed a bit of a siitter. B negus has things sussed with that horse. Wins a race,gets the half penalties,so all it takes is 3 or 4 misses and its back racing the very same horses its proven time and again for the last 3 years it can beat.the key is the junior claiming driver and driving it quiet for the 3 or 4 runs after it wins,then drive it to give it a chance and ka ching,it will win again .

i thought cormoran strike was a flop the week before like you gammalite and couln't have it on that run but it got the ideal run  last night and maybe the form in the race the week before may have been stronger after all.

dreams pat being tipped by the whale was a very strange tip. Its a horse that loves to break at least 3 times y every time. Its so consistent in being a breaker that no one could possibly tip it with any confidence,but the whale had it in his top 3 bets for the night. Really strange,but the tab must have loved seeing that.why it wasn't stood down again by the stipes was a mystery.

actually dream pat is by father patrick.Horses by  father patrick, i have posted many times,start off really good when 2 or 3,but then many seem to get some sort of mental issues and like to gallop or just be ignorant once they get to 4 or older.i seehis stud fee is only $5000 this year.

i'm similar to brodie,in that i would rather pick something out on a sunday than a friday night,becuase i have more confidence about the form of the sunday horses,except for southland horses. I struggle to follow the southland horses these days due to so many drivers down there being inconsistent in their driving performances. Like down there you have the likes of r mcilwrick. Hes a driver who you simply have no idea what hes going to do.He mostly seems to have a pre race plan to get hopelessly placed and wait for next week,then after doing that about 5 or 6 times he will burst into life and drive them aggressively. Maybe its what he has for breakfast .

anyway. i see you've mentioned bar louie in the kurow cup as a possible bet . Its now only paying $2 on fixed odds. To me thats a ridculous low price. Event the $3.20 it opened at seemed much too short.I'm not saying it can't win with the perfect run,just no one should back it at such short odds. And remember the telfer horses also have a lot that break in stands so thats even more of a risk.

if i had $1000,which i haven't i would probably be backing bring on the muscle or passendale or maybe miles away. i think to make money you have to be backing horses that pay more than 2 or 3$.

thank you for all your thoughts on the runners above. excellent stuff as usual.

I can't see any prices , (they're not up till tomorrow in Aus) so likewise very surprised at the Bar Louis Price. 

I would think it is a Mr Stockman Punt ?. being a Telfer runner. yeah a 15 horse stand is a Big BIG ask.

Looks a good chance with Blair on  , and a last start winner .  Gets 30m handicap though in the Kurow Trotters Cup ? Is that a bit too much ? 

If I was Wilson House in that trot,  I'd go like mad up in front and the MUSCLE horse would have to trot 3 seconds quicker than you to Win it off 30m. Wilson drives very well too. (probably gallop away now 😂 with Moz on it)

I thought we established it was on an earlier thread. ? where Brodie did a thread in June 13th  on a ridiculous 40k Bet on a Telfer horse . and we discussed a lot of the Big Bets going on the Telfer runners.?

seems to reason a Millionaire Connection of the stable would be the instigator of such actions.? I have no problem with Millionaires supporting the Industry with revenue. and getting some winners too. All good stuff

Not looking at fields and can’t even watch replays at the moment, as over in Europe for many weeks.

Most money to be made in the looser class racing in my opinion but then again everyone has there way of punting!

Are we sure that the punter that gets preferential treatment on the Stonewall horses is actually Steve Stockman???

Not 100% . but He paid NZ record prices for 2 yearlings at the sales . Paid $360,000 twice . for foals out of Adore Me and Bettor twist. so seems to have plenty of Spending Power lol 😂. am sure it said somewhere he has a punt too.

Steve and Jill do Syndicate some out , and do a great job, so there's always a chance one of the Syndicate People is Very Rich and Very excited when it comes to Stonewall horses . and is popping on the Big Punts each week. Quite a few winners too, but there's a fair few starters getting a punt on, so probably just break even in the end.

But seems they are having Fun with it. Harness racing doing Great Brodster !!! 

You have fun over there in Europe too. Good on you young fella. Have a great trip. My son went to Tour De France and coming home next week after 2 years crashing around all Europe. Did the Venice Gondola's thing last month as well.

Hope you get a go at that Brodster. Don't Rock the Boat though . you'll spill the drinks lol 😁🍾
