Yes , I rate them 2nd class to her by some distance. 

Well that doesn't mean much given you don't rate anything about NZ Racing.  I'm surprised you haven't mentioned that Well Written is actually pinhooked out of an OZ sale.

Im surprised you haven't mentioned that not a single TA purchase won a race on KM night.

I gather you have returned from your Christmas/New Year pensioners bus trip and intend to continue 2026 as you left off 2025.  

You really don't have any original ideas do you?

The 100 years of Sales in New Zealand must bring back memories for you.  Trentham would have been the last time you bought a yearling.

I think it is only a small group of very loud disenfranchised who have always struggled in the industry.  None of whom seem able to act collectively to focus on the key issues - tracks, programming and handicapping.  

The trouble is, they make a lot of noise, and they try 50 times harder than the average racing person that posts on social media, so they give the false impression of the industry.

Look at Wightman, he is absolutely convinced that he speaks for most of the industry and that most of the industry is behind him.

Trouble is he persists with this rhetoric ad nauseum and many just let him run freely at the mouth because he simply overpowers them.

To class her as a "freak" you must rate the horses she is beating.

Not to sure of the freak bit.    Rewatching the race,  it was rather impressive,  the way she let down up the straight!  After the KIWI it will be interesting to see what the think is her best option? A nice 2000m G1 over the ditch?
