Karrots Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Only 3 more sleeps, I'm going to have fun bet on it, thinking of a trifecta, there are a number of horses I'd like to include. However, I can't see it being like the Melbourne Cup, where I was able to take nearly 1/2 the field - percentage bet & still return a dividend higher than the amount spent. What to do ...

That could happen again at Addington also, either from a Lamb starting mistake (I'm being polite) or checked by another runner during running. You will need to be handy if not in front with 800-1000 out in both the Cup and Domininon. Many horses will be dropping out at the 800m, breaking, stopping... traffic problems for those behind. If you watch the replay properly Sundees Son wasn't checked. He was no where near Matua Tana, in fact about half a length off. He hits form for a few starts , then reverts to type. That's good for us at it takes another one out of play. Roll on the FFA and Dominion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self Assured had 4 starts winter 2019 in Brissy and mopped the floor with us. 4 wins. Ashley Locaz this past winter popped over to Brissy and had 2 wins (1.51 in one of them) and a second to Colt Thirty One , who is our best here (but hopeless in Auckland against the kiwis) managed to Fluke a half head win over Ashley Locaz one race. It's only a fluke if you beat Mark and/or Nat in a feature race these days !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsense Gamma , when you have the best horses and know their racing styles you dont need to team drive. Just remind me what the distance was between 3rd and 4th🤔 Or , as some on here would like they let others win the big races to make the game fair zzzzzzzzzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And worked hard too. or abused them lol. Gammalite left in the death most times. ( One great night at Auckland squeezed in behind Poppy though) Didn't see Spankem or Self Assured having ANY TROUBLE WHATSOEVER with the lead hand ups. Not many pull out from trailing the leader and go round to lead. (as Happy Sunrise predicted) TEAM driving at it's Very Best !! on full display for you !!. Did you not see it ? And good luck to them I say !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your on the best horse and the other main chances are behind you id leave the trail to take the lead as well. MP and for that matter any driver would know that Nat would arrive at some point to take it up. 3 back the fence would see him in a hole heap of trouble both on and off course from the feds and Keyboard warriors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens every galloping race where jocks are given instructions. If I was driving Ashley Locaz for you JJ if you were owner (in a different stable), I would hold the lead and say to Mark "Tough titties Mark , I'm gunna try and win this thing, you'll have to sit one-one behind Spankem when he comes round the field, and try your luck from there lol." Maybe I'd win the the race for you !!! (or NOT ,lol) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodlum Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) I think Blair made a mistake to not get on the back of Spankem when Natalie went forward. When Copy That did go forward he got flushed wide racing into the tighter bend and ended up 3 wide for most of the next lap. Surely he would have known that once Spankem got to the front with the other All Stars trailing it wouldn't hand up the lead.

Brodie Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Reality is that while AllStars are racing horses in NZ, other stables will not get a look in! You are slightly deluded if you think you think AllStars wont win most if not all the major races when they have a few in them! If you have a good horse and get offered big money, you would be crazy not to take it unless you dont need it! The AS horses are just so much better than all the others and Copy That wouldnt have won even with a fair start over 2 miles and AS horses getting fliers from the stand! That is just racing in NZ nowadays, we are just used to it now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
