5 Feature races at Auckland this week. My pickis ALLSTARS will quinella 4 of them

And would of been 5 feature wins if Winterfell came up this season , as this time last year Winterfell was winning the Trotting Interdominion at Auckland .

ALLSTARS deciding not to win the trot this year. Gives others a chance in that one.

Only because Majestic Man refused to take the passing lane until it was to late, He had it shot to bits. If you wanted to see a shattered trainer , the sight of Phil slumped over the rail inside the  stabling yard said it all. I think you have seen the last of Winterfell, whereas MM just keeps on going. Im not biased of course.

Probably because they don't have anything to win it with.

You guys are super sweet. I was meaning the 3y-o fillies race. But thank you for joining. Can certainly broaden the scope to ALL race at Alex Fri. Ok so we have

Davis on Bettors Twist a win

Karrots on Shes No Lady a win

Hunter Punter on Tricky Rick or Pull the Other Leg a win

Grammalite on all All stars to quinella all 4 feature races

Globe on Majestic Man a win race 4

I will do up a final list. Lets close this off Fri 3pm as need to give time for Forbs to log back on and join. Anyone named that has not spoken will get a secret Santa horse nom. 

Will the experts show their hand or no ... 

All for fun

I would put money on that not happening.

BD Joe in the Allabar is something else. He has beaten American Ideal and it took All about Faith to just run him down. If the Roll with Joes are going to be this good then Sweet Lou has some serious opposition.

Hey yeah, No Winterfell in the National trot coming up this year either (a race he also won last Christmas). So after the great Dominion H'Cap 2nd will be a great chance for MMan to grab a G1 in a couple of weeks !!  best of Luck.

I remember watching this race. Funnily enough I can not remember anything about the race, eg who the leader was, how the race was run. The 1 thing that I can recall about the running of it quite clearly, was this incident you mention. I was thinking no, no, no, no. I didn't bet on race or anything. Then felt a bit for the connections afterwards. How unlucky. True story. 

Moving forward go MM Fri and for the next Group 1 😄

Purdon has the all stars,Dennis O has the all sorts team,in many ways though following his team is more interesting.

You are in now Mikey NZ. You will be replacing Galah, as Galah has been withdrawn, due to being needed for Stripe duties.

Galah as head stripe will be able to disqualify any horse he deems needs disqualifying. Also can un disqualify any horse that may get disqualified, if he thinks decision was wrong like last Fri Alex. Final decision lays with him.

Mikey NZ will get a Secret Santa horse named Darling Me, since you mentioned the All Stars 😁

Hunter umm, let's keep Spitfire for Brodies Secret Santa only.

Is there a reason why Majestic Man refused to take the passing lane? Is he hard to steer, better on left-hand track, stubborn?

No far from it. He is far more tractable the Alex Park way round, way better than Addington actually. We trailed Winterfell up to the passing lane entrance and for some unknown reason (he had never done it before) he lugged out and it took Matty a hell of a time to get him up the inner and just missed.

He really had it shot to bits , and its not sour grapes as we are blessed to have such a consistently good Trotter, but Winterfell again?. Urrgghh.lol.

Brad 🙂  Phil hasnt won the Interdominion and that was the one he wanted.

I've run second beaten a nose before with Castleton's Mission with Mickee celebrating his win with a salute.  Ants had a bigger nose.
