Chief Stipe Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Geez I thought that was a good tough win by Quattro Quinta but then I heard what Jamie Richards said. "We'll be pressing on with him this year as he doesn't have a lot of upside"! Doesnt say much for those behind him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a brave effort , i wouldn't mind him in my stable , hopefully surprises them . Toughness and genuine , takes them a long way , just ask Tavi Mac . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gammalite Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Easy to see Why you are so impressed with Te Akau , Chief , with those results today. Didn't quite win the G1 Levin Classic but nearly did and Danielle Johnson hadn't heard of before (don't watch NZ racing until today) ,but wow she rode well and a few winners. a real match for Jamie Kah i reckon. Have seen the great Melody Belle a few times and Sharkie too in Oz . What a great team /results they have !!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She got a bollocking for her ride on Brando. Lisa Allpress outrode her in that one. Danielle is bred to be good. Her old man Peter was a useful Jockey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winners of the Classic , Benner and Wynard are well ahead in the strike rate table , very good trainers and their jock L Allpress right up if not better than Miss Johnson , Lisa would do well in Aus , very professional and tough as old boots . Watch both trainers and jockey . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think she rode that well actually, that she had Brando covered , even if another 100m. Thats great Te Akau and Danielle have such good opposition. !!!! Ruins it if someone wins absolutely everything.

I thought the Didham and Benner horses were a shade disappointing , and the 2nd horse had been whipped at Te Rapa , so not sure of the form .

Yes I thought Titled was poor, looking for 1200m by E&E , you'd still expect to be competitive over that trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a 2yo for mine , i would find a 1200 then a 1400 and try and get a win and put him aside , make a cracking 3yo . Didhams horse the same , i think he is even leggier than Titled . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
