Happy Sunrise Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Nothing like the fresh salt air at Forbury to fill the lungs on a chilly autumnal night in Dunners with a mildly warm pie in one hand and a bet slip in the other for whoever who is doing that cos it won't be me. Race 5 Santanna Lad at 11FF and 3.10FF is nice enough money, certainly, the place price is. I have a strong inclination to try and pick the card, but unlike Mardy, just for a place. The fool in me says do it...time to disgrace myself but at least it will be amusing. There are a couple of horses racing such as Look Both Ways in race 1 who are possibly better win bets but manners are iffy so for the place it is. If I pick the lot, Brodie has to front with a tip on BOAY. I am sure he will agree to that.

Joe Kidd Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Speaking of Forbury. I have a fading memory about a race Lochie Marshall called there in around 1980. Unsure if it was the Barton Memorial when he easily beat Roydon Scott. Maybe not. What I do remember was Lochie clearly stating at one point late in the race that Lord Module was not trying and was being pulled. It's the only time I can remember a NZ racecaller over the last 45 years suggest in a call that a horse was not trying. Anyone else remember that call?

Joe Kidd Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Pretty sure it was this race. Some superb horses in the field. Same year he brilliantly won the NZ Cup.

Double R Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Race 1. Global Flight. Has had an interesting start to racing, but it does have a motor. Fell at last start, when it bucked in the straight and got both back legs over the sulky shaft, and hit the deck. Cheers. Robert. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
