The ability finally coming through lol. Retirement staved off at last!! Great day for the horse and harness racing in NZ. Retirement? with Dennis O Connell training hes got got another couple of hundred races left in him I guess though it shows with so many meetings somewhere along the line it can happen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ability finally coming through lol. Retirement staved off at last!! Great day for the horse and harness racing in NZ. Dennis purchased the horse too 2 weeks ago maybe for the same price as the prize money he won today, yes average field but a nice quiet drive by one of the most under rated drivers in the country...... now 55 starts for a 3rd placing. He purchased the trotter he won with too off the breeders. Edited December 4, 2020 by Dougie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what happened a while back but she had a falling out with Dean Taylor but way better off being with Negus, he doesn't have the best stock which makes her stats look pretty ordinary but her best trait seems to be getting the best out of horses with very limited ability, just like AS today.

Riding in on my white horse. Singing the Taylor Swift lyrics "Look what you made me do, look what you made me do, look what you made me do, oh look what you made me do". Aveross Spitfire by our side as we come to salute, especially for you Brodie 😄 Was only a 2 week mute out of this convo. Riding back out getting my disco inferno on, belting out the lyrics "Burn baby burn, burn baby, burn baby, burn baby burn" Chuckles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really was nothing else in the race with much ability. Does O’Connell train on the Waikouaiti beach? If he does maybe the beach work has set the horse alight.

O Connell has Pete's Dash in race 1 today,I think hes got best form and almost the worst draw,then Aveross Majesty later on,won on grass at Oamaru,what are the odds today?

I wouldnt be putting too much on it though as the field he was in the other day was extremely weak and didnt have to do any work. You would have to ask the question though, why has the 2 Averos’s that have go e to O’Connells both grown another leg ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously has got its manners and head right and it has improved as it has matured. Haven't seen one win like he did at oamaru for a long time,so will be interesting to see how far it can go up the grades. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeynz Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 The other thing I notice with Dennis O Connell is the miles he clocks up,always going somewhere,was at Ascot Park last week then back to Canterbury for the weekend,i guess he will only do this for so long but if he enjoys doing what hes doing good on him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
