TAXMAN 3 wins from 7 starts for Allstars 2019. seems fair. Nat drove it once and of course It Won !! 2 drives for Nat last night at Auckland for a win with American Pride and the narrow 2nd with True Fantasy. Gammalite $50 double is ruined. Shame Bob Butt not on the bottle (gone a couple of times for that like Blair at times) or something like me , had to wreck it by driving /training Cover Girl to a great victory!. lol...... Well not to be dimissed , NAT is back tonight at Addington !!!!!!!!!! a heap of drives. I'm doubling up. $100 double Samhara into Bettor Twist $700 for my 100. Nat's the best ! let's go. Shan Noble was costly in missing place in the Derby (but was huge run) so let it go today !! how many will she win tonight ????? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said purdons stats improved when rasmussen started training with him,and when he no longer trained with payne or by himself. You Betcha ! what a great acquisition for the stable lol..... Where is Payne now? Even my mate Mangoose has given in and popped Nat on to drive at Addington there. (Immeadiate easy win !!! ) good on him. Cullens a distant second after racing without cover. Cue for NEWMARKET to shoot them down. lol...... first start for a year so maybe he'll cut Chase Auckland some slack ?? probably not. He went very well and tried hard though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangos got suspended again for whip use,so thats why he didn't drive it. Does that aussie owner who was mangos's big owner still race many in aussie? He had 2 or 3 mangos trained horses in the jewels 2 or 3 years ago,but said they would be the last because it was not worth having them in nz racing against the all stars? I think he was from western australia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was from western australia. not sure on that one champ, especially if West Australian. Big Bar has a couple there for a prominant Queensland owner though. Barry had a couple in big 2 year old race last night in Akld. Dean Shannon has Montana Stud in beautiful Melany up the coast from Brissy, and races all those MONTANA something horses. Very surprised he races there with Barry, but is great supporting the kiwi industry too. Belle of Montana about 10 wins now. every week a Montana horse wins somewhere here in Brisbane. nearly all with local trainer Darrel Graham. They (Shannon and Graham) did have a Stand-out horse once, a kiwi bred 'Courage under Fire' stallion named LANERCOST who won 3 group1's and 30 wins from 45 starts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow he had his 7 day suspension given to him last week deferred until after tonight. Not sure why he gets that preferential treatment and has a suspension start a week later. To be honest,rasmussen is outdriving the others tonight. She always makes her move at the right time and has ended up in the right position compared to her main opposition.

Gammalite Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 What a great performance from the 2 year old trotters. nearly all trotting the whole way. The HOPE family and the DUNN family sure know how to train the Trotters !! trotting to victory all over the place. Cullen's 2 trotters will have to settle for seconds against those fine winners.

Yeah I know is best filly. but still, to take off from one out three back 800 out and blast to the lead like that, she was reading the other runners so well as well as her own. and then a tiny breather , and sprint again !

Gammalite Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Was thinking about the arguement of Allstars v Cullen Racing v How well a stable results go. Surely, nothing would be different at Rolleston as Cullen was already working there (when Allstars stopped New Year) therefore ALL the track-work and Feed, and supplements and shoeing would all still be exactly the same as last year ??? Why are we looking for change then? results are still familiar. and same as Allstars. Cullen has a 'Swag' of 2 yearolds racing fairly well, that never went around in Allstars colours. winning features Akld and Chch. so is making a great job of keeping the tradition going ! great. so looks like normal transmission is resumed !!. getting Nat to drive is icing on cake ! but Blair ok too and drove the winner of the 200k 2yearold race, to get the $100,000 first prize cheque at Addington premier night. Markie will be delighted. AND for the Punter makes it easier to find a winner! as the field always narrowed down a bit with the Cullen live chances. Just looking at Addington today, without Cullens / Dunns/ and Dalgety and just Pitiful. are they barred from midweeks or something? who would possibly bet on any of these horses today? no wonder trots are in decline . Cha cha B 2 with wins from 40 starts only in-form horse racing today? Oh my goodness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tiers in Harness are becoming more pronounced. When considering what they are targeting a UDR of 0.4200 for the Cullen stable is remarkable. That said the quality of the fields at Addington today are ahead of the OZ ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fields are poor but I am sure trainers appreciate these meetings. Addington is the best track in Australasia and is under used. I prefer more meetings at Addington where every horse has a chance than at the likes of Motukarara, which is a rough second-rate track. Just my opinion of course. I am unsure if I will have a bet, it is unlikely unless I find a smoky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said the quality of the fields at Addington today are ahead of the OZ ones. I can't say I agree with that on form. We run our usual 'Slower ' Horse meeting at a brilliant track in Albion Brisbane today . The form shows at Albion, that of the 84 Runners across 9 races ONLY 17 have NOT finished in the first 4 somewhere in their last 4 starts. Form is strong. This is very normal as do the form each week. (hard to work out a winner though) At Addington only 1/2 of the 76 runners across the 8 races have been even 'close' to a placing past 4 runs. quality would be a little inferior to Brisbane today . Having said that Melton (Vic) seems exceptionally weak tonight. Menangle VERY strong though (NSW) maybe running 1.53 still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( but yes what a beautiful track) Tell you what , Tim and Anthony Butt now run stables in Victoria, as were sick and tired of McCarthy's busting the guts of their runners at Menangle NSW, and tonight LUKE JOHN starting at Melton in the last . probably $1.10 over there though. Would be an absolute certainty though you would think, in first Aus run. given the quality he raced in NZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the brilliant NAT display on Friday, that you must of enjoyed? I got about $1200 in front. Stupid galloping Gytrash is just trash I reckon after killing off 2k of the multi's in the Goodwood Sat on his home track with piss-weak 3rd , so maybe you can pull me back a couple of hundred? what you got ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO Slowing down midweek.!!! lol.... The trot saw RITUER win at 25-1 , could only go 2.08 or so in NZ , where had 6 wins. Tailored Elegance was the favourite at 2-1 for Luke McCarthy's. When at Allstars TAILORED ELEGANCE was trotting 2.03 so should be beating Rituer by 50m. only 5th today ??? That Just shows how good Mark and Nat are at punching out times and winners. !!! way better than Australia's best ! (McCarthy's) anyway.
