Davis Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Wow! What a difference. After years of putting up with P. Lamb as starter at New Zealand's premier track Addington we had a new starter today. Well done Rick Donnelly. The difference between today's starts and what previously happened with Lamb was obvious. In the mobile starts today all horses were on the gate, both rows, before the starter sped the field up. When Lamb started mobiles the field were strung out and many had to sprint just to catch the mobile. Standing starts also great. This was a marvellous start from Rick Donnelly, no bad starts the whole day and the drivers seemed to take notice of him. Well done Rick you have restored my faith in fair starts for all runners, something Jack Mulcay managed but Lamb did not. Keep up the good work... 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brodie Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 The Dominion start was interesting and I believe Ricky passed the test. Yes It was delayed a bit when a horse fell over but Ricky was nkt happy with the way they were not in a line! When they were ready the second time many of the horses went on the charge at the tape with a run up and were wanting a flier, just like in the NZ Cup the other day! Ricky did not let them go and made them more or less stop before he let them go. First day as the new starter for the Met, a very good start and promising indeed! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should use starting stalls,just need to be careful they don't rip the wheels off on the way out,would be entertaining no doubt. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Ricky has had years of experience handling thoroughbreds and standardbreds,Would have handled hundreds of horses with different temperaments over the years.He a very well respected person who seems to be able to read horses and drivers moods.And a hell of a nice guy too,doesnt think he any more important than anybody else 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just checked and the first i knew of the passing was at 8.15 last night at which point i sent condolences to Nina and family I responded to Cross Codes post suggesting he was going down a dangerous path around 2pm, some 6 hours earlier. So, fact- i did know of his passing when replying to Cross Codes so you are clearly in the wrong But lets not allow facts to get in the way of another of your attacks Enough on this now from me- you have the last say as always.
