The Centaur Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 wanted quick answer. Doing research is deemed cheating. QUESTION: Looking at NZTR calendar for January which were the top 5 meetings that garned the best horses. Clue.... the top four were the two days at Ellerslie and two days at Trentham so you only need the fifth. Criteria used is stake money as at 1 Feb 2021 and a general judgement of up and coming horses both in number and quality. Quote
The Centaur Posted February 4, 2021 Author Posted February 4, 2021 1 hour ago, All The Aces said: Tauranga No. One could argue the fifth should be the top. Keep the answers coming. Quote

The Centaur Posted February 4, 2021 Author Posted February 4, 2021 1 hour ago, Chief Stipe said: Taupo? No. As stated this meeting could be the No1 if one took into consideration say stakemoney won overseas but one would need to check up on any ex Hong Kong horses. Nevertheless first time responders can have 3 meetings for an answer. Quote
Chief Stipe Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 Has to be Ruakaka then. Verry Elleegant and Catalyst and.. Quote

The Centaur Posted February 4, 2021 Author Posted February 4, 2021 Final Clue. Numerically most number of starters and possibly most number group one wins. Easy now! Quote

The Centaur Posted February 4, 2021 Author Posted February 4, 2021 Sorry everyone failed. The meeting which was probably the best to attend to spot future winners and see the cream of NZ thoroughbreds with horses such as.... Melody Belle, Probabeel, The Chosen One, Aegon, Quick Thinker, Crown Prosecutor, Travelling Light, Need I Say More, Pop Star Princess, Amarelinha, Kahma Lass, Festivity, Equinox, Burgundy Belle, Vitesse Bo etc and about 200 others was Jan 12 Matamata Trials run on a perfect track. Yet there was no publicity, no crowd to speak of. Shows the incompetence of those running racing. The open trials could have been incorporated into a tote meeting giving the holiday crowds an extra attraction. Quote

As mentioned in another thread most of the Cambridge trainers pitched up at Matamata instead of the their own AWT. Quote

Well gotta say after being around a few decades, been to plenty of Race Meetings (a british term) but never once heard of a 'Trials' meeting. They're just called Barrier Trials. 1 Quote

I said look at the meetings on the NZTR calendar where they are classified as meeting, premier and trial. Quote
The Centaur Posted February 7, 2021 Author Posted February 7, 2021 With Probabeel winning yesterday in Australia thats another high class winner to come out of the Matamata Trials. I stand by my statement. The Matamata Trials was the best meeting in terms of quality, interest, entertainment and spectacle to occur this season. The problem is NZTR were blind. Quote
