A Morning at Team Tangerine (Updated Link)

100 in work at Matamata, ...

Tangerine been a bit quiet in NZ to date over the carnival,  must be due a big NY Day at Ellerslie? 

Hitting Phar Lap Raceway today with some firepower, 6 runners probably get some SI form going there.

Interestingly only 1 horse in at Taupo today, whereas they usually take a full complement to Taupo, so What You Wish For in the Taupo Cup probably worth a bet at reasonable money

Let's hope no more tomos appear in the track

There are other notable trainers from Central and North to attract the punting dollar though.

Quite a lot of scratchings today.

I find the programme a bit odd.  A $100K Cup, $40K MAAT, $30K Sprint and the rest $18,500.

Well found Hesi at good odds.

You wouldn't have been wanting to watch the race, which I didn't.

The horse drew the widest and therefore allowed to race at the back of the field, a slow mid race tempo, then came 8 wide on the turn, went past the rest of the field as though they were standing still, on a 320m straight and was stopped riding 30m short of the post.

And it was a good field too, Agera for instance has won 8 races from 26 starts for 350K.

Hard to fathom racing sometimes, and it was after a long road trip to Trentham, 8 days previously.

This was the Facebook comment pre-race

4:11 p.m. R7 6 What You Wish For (5 g Embellish – Grand Wish) – Wiremu Pinn; he came to the end of his run out of midfield in the Group 3 Manawatu Cup over 2300m on 20 December at Trentham, and contests the $100,000 Harcourts Taupo Cup (Open Handicap, 2000m). Gee is a previous course winner and stakes’ winner over 2000 metres, which will stand him in good stead but the challenge for him to notch up another win is his shocker of a draw (15). Fixed odds: $7.50 & $2.70.
