Noms BOAY Drive of the season 2021


Recommended Posts

Noms have closed. If they judge could please select via skill.

If the judge Fitzy does not make a selection Gamms you can be the next judge as you used to drive. Perhaps give it a couple of days Gamms.

Judging to be done based on skill. Not on bias or your favourites. No extra points given if it is a Group 1 race over a normal race. And judging to be made on that drive only, not on reputation or last name or anything. Also when judging please bear in mind the ability of the horse. Was it a good drive that made the horse win or was it the horse? Or had it not been for that drive then the horse would not of won. (Perhaps if you back up why you chose the winner over the others). Also any country driver can win. 

PS Paleface your funny, I was meaning the way, you guys talk lol on that other thread F this & F that. Thanks for putting a nom in here btw.

Here are the final nominations. No sign of Blair and Tim? over-rated? Well the Jewels Day did exhibit some great driving by ALL the participants/ drivers , and many 'having a crack' when usually would be just 'dealt to/with by Allstars stable. 

@ANDREW FITZGERALD didn't respond to PM request to be the guest Champion judge to name the winner unfortunately.

So in true NZ BOAY Democratic fashion a 3-2-1 points. for 1st,2nd and 3rd. Today by anyone to vote from that great list of drives ,

POST today and the winner can be named end of the day. from most points.

 votes from myself ............. Barclay 3,  Herlihy  2,  Nat Rasmussen 1  point.

Shame, do understand tho. You can get disheartened when you get attacked. And when things are negative a lot.

In saying that too, its funny how won’t interact much, or contribute, yet they read & sometimes get their stories from what has been talked about from here.

This site does help with build up of hype around some events too.

But as said, back to the top sentence do understand. Some of us including myself, can go a little over-board or be super reactive. Which I guess results in a loss of credibility built up.

Thanks Gamms great idea, we prob should have asked Unhinged, he likely would of responded. Never mind.

3 Wigg

2 Butcher

1 Hope =

1 Williamson =

S Wigg, is the winner of our BOAY Drive of season 20/21 with her outstanding drive in the last race of the Amateur Champs.

Good luck to her if she makes it to the World Amateur Champs to represent NZ. 

Sheryl Wigg Wins the BOAY Best drive of the year title. by popular vote.

Sheryl steered DALNESS FIRST to victory in race 3 at Rangiora on 23rd May. The final of the amatuer drivers series. Check it out to see a wonderful winning drive from being 5 back along the fence a lap out, and timing her run to perfection. Congrats Sheryl !!!! 

here is a small newspaper report on her career strike rate. 

When it comes to preparing and driving winners few are going better than Sheryl Wigg.

“Strike rate Sheryl” became the first amateur driver in this country to chalk up 50 wins at the weekend, and that was from just 150 drives.

 
 
 

Together with her twin sister Cheree (six driving wins this season) the Wiggs are a dominant force in the amateur driving ranks
