LongOwner Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Why do we have a rating system when NZMTC ignore it when selecting the Derby ? Some may say visitor preference. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good enough to be in field but hardly deserves it on results.I think connections have missed a trick and this horse has been.poorly placed by them if they were expecting a derby start. Winning a r56 doesnt deserve a Derby start no matter potentially how good horse is 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant believe with the time you have been involved in the industry that you think a horse that raced against r51 horses last start deserves a start in one of our biggest races of the year.

hunterthepunter Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 can't believe you think stars tonight 61 rating should get a start before gran chic 65 rating ??? so your saying a rating 61 horse should get a start before a 65 horse plus the rated 65 horse has better form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only just watched the replay as currently in Oz! Should the driver of Enhance Your Calm, Get a HOLIDAY for the lack of vigour in the straight until too late??? The driver thought he was being smart and he got done, which was rather exciting!! I think the wettish track has a major effect on the results so far as well!
