She's a little ripper. she came up from Victoria, so a bit easy against these local plodders. AMAZING DREAM, what can you say? she is amazing alright. I thought the 12-1 on offer Thurs was good. paid $19 here. $30 Quinella and $312 the trifecta in The Rising Sun for AMAZING DREAM, COPY THAT and EXPANSIVE EGO (3 wonderful horses) and I can't believe this QLD 'FIRST 4' Divvie (with Krug 4th) paid $3,526 !!!..... I didn't take one sadly. could of got that easy too. Bet it paid a lot less in NZ>>>> Amazing dream paid $21.Unreal really,given its won so many big races. I didn't back it,but amazing that krug was only paying 2.60 compared to amazing dream.The first 4 paid $479. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gammalite Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 Well the Sun has risen today in the 'Sunshine State' shining on last night's inaugural $250k Group1 The RISING SUN winner AMAZING DREAM for NZ. (and the great Quinella with COPY THAT too) driven by greats of the sport from NZ in Mark Purdon and Anthony Butt. Both super impressive in knocking off Australia's near best in Expensive Ego. At least had a winner at WIMBLEDON during the night with our super girl Ash Barty .!! meanwhile, another Channel is reporting a 5 length win to WATCH ME NOW first up at the Meadowlands USA for champion Aus driver Todd McCarthy. in 1.49. WATCH ME NOW might very well become the best NZ mare ever? Even Better than AMAZING DREAM ?,having run that mare down at Addington in the NZ Standardbred Breeders Stakes in Feb, for Kristin Barclay. (9 lengths clear of 3rd) She could be a sensation over there USA the way she is tracking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thats the case about watch me now,thats a turnaround in form again from the horse that raced disappointingly from the dolan stable a couple of months ago.I always thought watch me now was a bit hard to follow form wise.They run fast over there don't they.I happened to catch nandolo first up over there a couple of months ago and he put in an amazing run in some ridiculously fast time. I wonder if he has raced since as he looked like he could have run 1.46-47 without raising a sweat if he had a decent draw that night. He's watching is the sire of watch me now. Hes by american ideal from a real desire mare. American ideal has some good ones running at the moment here.

What a shame that 'U MAY CULLECT' broke down on them. and Watch Me Now sold off. makes things real hard , once the stable stars go. and you just lose momentum. Is the real shame for NZ harness, that these type of horses , that can mix it with Amazing Dream , just get sold off. More millionaire owners needed (like Seymour keeps breeding several for Grant Dixon every year in Brisbane) And Like a John Green type (millionaire , with No need to sell) who in NZ was racing THE AGENT ORANGE. so everyone can enjoy seeing these 'star horses' race. TANK not that great a trainer ????? says here 75 wins between 1999 and 2018 ? crikey!!! a Professional trainer in QLD harness, needs to get 75 wins per year, to keep in business. TANK must be keen to keep going . Go TANK !!! here's a clipping................... While the Barclay-Ellis partnership’s first win was with Honey Cullen at Forbury Park in August 2018 their latest, and what will be their last, was U May Cullect at Riverton on March 4. In winning his first eight starts U May Cullect turned into a cult hero and right now the seven-year-old’s career record stands at 9 wins from just 16 starts. The stable’s other star has been Watch Me Now who gave them their first Group One success in the Breeders Stakes against Amazing Dream at Addington on February 12. At the time Barclay called it a career highlight and a dream come true. Altogether they have had 85 wins from 694 starts. On her own Barclay had 50 wins from 2006-2018 while Ellis had 75 winners as a trainer on his own account from 1999 – 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
