Fine NZer TRIPLE EIGHT was air-bourne tonight taking out the Caduceus Classic Group 1 at Bendigo.  for new trainer Jess Tubbs.

smashing em' in 1.51.6 knocking off 2 high profile local Vic's in General Dodge and Out to Play.

Must be HUGE Victoria Cup chance now in 4 weeks time. ??  4th win now in 10 Aussie starts this year since leaving NZ in January.

At Brisbane they were going like 'Scorched Banana's tonight " in the fast class , and 'Leader Peter' cut loose with Will The Wizard 1.50.6 !!!!!

1.50.6 is going crazy stuff for Albion Park. ( that's like a 1.48.6 Menangle equal)

with your Ray Green horse TOMMY LINCOLN 2nd and another old kiwi 'Northview Hustler' 3rd. How fast Can they go ??? TRIPLE EIGHT flying at Bendigo too.

Hey Gamms, how you doing? Great day in QLD is it for you today? Karrots is still in lockdown level 4. At a wits end. Might go batty soon. 

Anyways talking about Aussie racing. And on another thread, it was pointed out about battlers by Crosscodes.

I stated that Cambridge horses are just that Cambridge horse. Comparatively speaking in NZ. Also brought up on another thread how some Cambridge horses have been competitive at Menangle. In which you stated that miles there are for stayers.

Last nite noted a horse called Shanlou, this horse wasn't part of the Lou group to win within its 1st 6 starts. It placed a bit then got the win maybe start 10 ish. Now this same horse has started 4 times at Meng. Won 3 & placed 3rd in 4 starts. Including winning in MR1.50.7 on Tues! This is a 3y-o filly. Unfortunately lay in a lil last nite & was demoted to 2nd due to that. So official record in OZ reads 4 starts 2 wins a 2nd & a 3rd. I am no way saying any cheating is going on as I do NOT believe it is in this case.

Point being these CAMBRIDGE BATTLERS may seem like BATTLERS in NZ. BUT is the level at which they race over here at such a higher standard that it becomes so much harder to win. SO much harder infact as per this Shanlou. Iv noted others I could point out. Cambridge horses. 

Therefore is it unfair to be stating & pointing out the level in which peeps or trainers are NOT winning here, when we do an Oz level comparison?

I think hard to win anywhere. COLT THIRTY ONE (the 2nd best QLDer ever) hasn't even been able to win this year.

Even harder in NZ. Look at the size of those Methven/Ashburton fields? is like a lottery winning those.

More good news for Sweet Lou's !! MIGHTY LOOEE , formerly of Dunns, a fav horse of Karrots , had first Menangle run last night.

Sat last until home turn , then cruised past them like they were tied to the fence. to win very easiliy . Go Louee's !!

What the ?/# kiwi chick ?? hehehe you might like to claim her , but she's a QLDer through and through.

Karrot's Park did see the great BLACKS A FAKE promoted to 2nd Interdominion 2011.  behind I'm TheMightyQuinn after Smokin Up from Oz, was disqualified trying to sneak in over the kiwi stewards .

The last Interdominion was of course won by the amazing Nat !!  Ultimate Sniper at Karrots Park 2019 .. !!!

perhaps Grant D could get Nat (his ex missus) to drive COLT THIRTY ONE at menangle Interdominion this year and grab the Win?  his new missus Trista Dixon probably a bit cranky with him if he does that though lol...........

Karrots Park really Ranga. So just attack the poster. Not the subject. Lame.

Still waiting for your brilliant ideas at attracting new peeps on a potential regular bases to Alex P.

Com'on Karrots ! that's a complement , and meant no harm. Recognising your support for the place. ...
