Michael House & Blair Orange Combination


Happy Sunrise

Recommended Posts

They teamed up at Forbury last week to do well which seems par for the course when they combine. Blair seems to happily drive for this trainer and the trainer seems to want him to drive too.

Seems odd that one is supposedly on the defence side of INCA and the other is being portrayed as being a nefarious one on the other side of the fence. 

Just seems illogical that that the two of them would still be a team. Someone better explain this to me.  Someone....please....anyone....

Yes, I agree. Seems strange when all this news broke, than somebody was placed on suicide watch? Now if you did nothing wrong, why would you ever think that was an option. 

Its obvious the police have more info, just because you charge someone the defence will always build a case, trust me, there is plenty of evidence on devices over many, many months. LJM just doing his normal wanking on stuff, so what he has read 500 pages, he doesnt even know what the police have. Remember, last time he tried to help whanua, they pleaded guilty!! He is going to look a little silly again, but it will be fun. He loves being in the limelight, be funny seeing him decked out in his finest in court. Lets hope he can control the F words ?

The Prosecutor may withhold  information for many reasons, maybe MH fears for his life? 

There aren't many reasons and less than full disclosure seriously impedes the defence case.  I doubt the very high threshold for withholding evidence will have been met.

Now that LJM has told everybody who the snitches are, maybe it will work in favour of the police? 

As for race fixing, we have all heard the rumours. Several people involved in harness, had some good bets going on a certain race in the upper sth island, when they came in, those involved were going on an overseas trip to the US, of course trip canned when this came out.

Wow, really? That is interesting for me who didn't know.

I don't see it as unusual whatsoever. 

Lets just assume someone ,on reflection, believes they have made an error in judgment .

Why wouldn't they have an association with someone who  expects his drivers to maintain integrity,given the person who made some previous poor choices wants to have those standards himself.  And the person he works for trusts him to live up to those standards.

All hypothetical of course.,but a simple explanation for you.

great win that was by the house horse 

Mmmmm, 1-53 for the mile, wide early, speed battle to get lead, flat tack all the way to win by a length?? Would make Steel Jaw blush. 

Makes you wonder thou. Hey Mickey House, what you got planned for next? NZ cup??

I am at a total loss to be able to explain how Michael House has been able to win races all around the country this season.

To be fair  Michael was no better than an average trainer until he started taking  many horses to Palmy!

Yes I can understand him Winning at Palmy, but he wins at Auckland,  Addington and other South Island locations!

Something has definitely changed without doubt with his training.

Is he involved with this Blood spinning thing, that doesn’t improve horses performance????????

Agree. Some of the performances at metro tracks recently,  certainly makes you wonder. You can understand the wins at palmy etc, but come on.

getting up earlier and working them harder for longer

More to it than that!

Would be interesting to have someone do a background documentary for Trackside, to see what the difference is!

His horses have all grown another leg, and definitely something has changed!!!!

Think I heard that his wife is a vet? Is that correct?

Obviously having a wife for a vet must be a plus. I think his team has improved partly because of her. 

The other obvious factor is he uses good drivers,like blair orange who just has the knack of  getting the best out of any horse for any stable..

 if you look at the horses that won over the weekend.

Warloch finally got a race run to suit,in a field where it was  amongst the top 3 on ability.

Rake had gone some ok races prior to seeming to lose interest,then joined the house stable. where its form improved a bit.

Delightful major has plenty of ability so its win was to be expected.

And narelle franco  has always looked an out and out sprinter,although the ease of its win was a bit of a surprise.  Its actually one of those horses that has always pulled its head off,yet for months was driven under a stranglehold and if you had backed it you were left wondering about its drivers  at manawatu.  John Morrison just lets it go instead of fighting it. Horses never perform when drivers fight them.

I think another factor is some Canterbury stables have been underperforming in the last 12 months on previous years.
