Ashley Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 What a great field and obviously the shark looks a big chance but I hope Helena Baby shoves it up the Village idiot. Sentimental miss the bolter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomass Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Shenshational alright....2x 10k bets on the Shark.... Only prob is the fierce rail bias...where the rain's predicted to arrive later now...so the fence should be on all day... ..and The Shark doesn't like sand kicked in his face...who does?

SLB2.0 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 It's a no bet race for me, much like many NZ races. Helena Baby handles the conditions but there's little doubt that Melody Belle and TAS are the best horses in the field. Racing doesn't always reward the best, however.

Rusty Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I have no financial interest in the race but for more reasons than one, I hope Helena Baby absolutely smashes them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLB2.0 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 TAS will need to be good to make ground at Te Rapa. Helena Baby should just run from the outset and have them all chasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLB2.0 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Very good run from TAS. Helena Baby was good after missing the kick and sitting three wide. Certainly loses no admirers but TAS should be winning a G1 in Aussie this spring. That being said... spring isn't great for the Kiwis. We're more autumn/winter types.

Weasel Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Top runs from the first 6 or 7 -cost me a dunkin donut well done Ashley!! SM is certainly one to follow over a trip through the next few months. As a complete aside...what pig of a track Te Rapa is these days, a shadow of its former great self. It'd almost be worth running the Foxbridge Plate 2 weeks later, in August ...at Ruakaka, where these good sprinters can at least get a fair go on decent ground!

SLB2.0 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I see the niller over at RC has called Helena Baby a hack. Comeback finished better than our Horse of the Year.... Melody Belle must also be a hack. Helena Baby will clean up in Brisbane next winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This the same "niller" that has said Consensus is the best 2000m horse in Aus/NZ and has convinced McKee to aim for the Cox Plate? Aren't we all still waiting for Felaar to live up to its "potential"? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomass Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 You simply can't beat Arsetralian Group 1 form....and this neddy had it...to go with recent residual fitness... ...not to mention the outstanding barrier trials... from both horses...1& 2 Theres no doubt the Shork is high class...just look at his sectionals...not to mentions using ones eyes.... ...but the barrier draw was crucial here...no need to mention that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
