Happy Sunrise Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) In an even kind of race, Race 8 presents Westburn Bliss as my answer to that question at 13ff and 3.90ff Ran a really good 2.4L 4th against 2 All Stars in Beyond Words and What's Your Secret. Beat home subsequent winner in Off N Gone. Next start at Kurow was a mess with an uncharacteristic break and then got cleaned out round the first bend and was forced wide and ended up a long last but ran on very well to be only 3.4L from the winner. John Morrison is on and he knows the horse. Usually a a good starter so she may get a cushy run. On paper it is quite an even race but 13s is very backable.

Rusty Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Last race 8.35pm?! Is this Aussie time, or NZ time? If NZ time, this is getting ridiculous, from a viewer's perspective. God it takes me until 7.30pm just to comb my hair, put me teeth in and put on my face. Maybe it's a good thing I can't attend tonight due to the Covid restrictions. I'd never get there in time. Great for trainers, drivers, stablehands etc though. Perhaps they deserve it, especially the ones that get up early in the morning. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be timed to finish about 9.30 and work backwards. Especially with no rugby or other sport on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many short price favourites for my betting style tonight but probably good for fixed odds turnover, any time I see 3/4 horses paying under $6 I don't bother betting. Nice win for Ultimate Stride, good hit out in a quick time from the stand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I read this I kept an eye on the pools before they closed. About $6k in each of the win and place pools. Not much in the exotics. With $12,500 in stakes I'd say they would be way short of paying for them. Not good at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you only bet fixed odds on NZ trots, I've seen the prices open in the morning and most horses prices don't even change within a 4 hour time frame before the race starts... some of those races at Timaru today had $15k + in the win pool and healthy exotics too.

Was gone at the 400 I thought so I focused on time in a bottle .... Matty sprinted early but geez Midnight Dash has got some motor, lost 50m at the start too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually find the gallops just more interesting these days,even the invercargill trot meetings are getting repetitive,hot favourite,same old drivers,even the fields are shrinking,maybe that's why turnover is dropping on harness racing,it is pretty average really.

Bit of a lottery to my eyes. Took the field in the quaddie in a fun bet! Young trotter will have to be good to jump into this class of battle hardened horses.

I think so or maybe a touch further north of Welly, his horses are very well mannered in general, someone like him must miss Forbury.

There are a lot of horses trained in that area,despite what some say,just the same as Eastern Southland despite no racing there for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
