the galah Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago (edited) i see maurice mckendry driving most of the telfer horses today,instead of j dickie, who only drove the one from the stable who wasn't given much chance by the trainer in the preview. They certainly are different drivers. Mckendry tends to drive at a more consistent speed,but not very aggressive most of the time ,whereas dickie tends to put them up on the speed whenever he gets the chance. because mckendry drives them kinder and the horse doesn't bust a gut trying,the stable may improve,but then again dickie is the better driver if you are a punter. who knows its a stable i think you would go broke betting on,but they are nz 's leading stable on wins. Theres also seems a diifference in performance if north island horses transfer to the south island,they always improve,but then lose a few lengths when they go back up north. the horses in the north isalnd tend to go way from stands ,whereas the horses in the south island tend to always break in stands. Of course there are some obvious exception. then you also have the north isalnd horses go better when t williams drives themif hes up there. i find them a confusing stable to follow. but they look like they will break the nz record for number of wins.

Nowornever Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago Just back Tim Williams when he is on them. They seem to fire for him. Dickie not much of a driver since he came back from Australia. Seems to end up parked or no room on too many horses that should be winning. He can still get one home if he is in front. Several drivers like that in the South as well. Cox, Smith and a few of the girls Green, Tomlinson's, Thornley's you want to be on them if they are in front or trail but no thanks if they are back in the field. Up the middle with no room the norm. 1 Quote
