I reckon they are underdone and you really need to be wound up tight to compete in Sydney. Trainers like Waller seem to have their horses super fit and then run them for 5 or 6 races and spell them. Easier to get them race fit over there than here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Interesting to see Atishu ridden against her normal pattern and win. Proves she is not a one trick pony. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez you nearly put the mockers on her too! The worst part was Trackside switching the audio back to the inane comments of Aiden Rodley.

Nah , the draw was always the worry , got held up as the leader got away , always thought she would pick it up . That Maximus Prime is a good horse , set a task by the rider , wouldn't be surprised to see him end up in Aus . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have plenty in their favour, no room for excuses. Unfortunately with so many horses spread far & wide they are having to put up with some average rides from some average riders like the rest of us usually do. They have so much fire power it'll only be a temporary thing and there will be a big day coming their way sooner rather than later, no one can be in doubt of that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah , had a horror day but welcome to the club , i struggle to remember the great days we had , lots more of the shite ones . They are going to struggle with the SI team , unless the can get a decent rider to go down there . Jesus the standard is getting worse . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the firepower they had spread everywhere today to only get 1 winner in an undercard race at Riccarton is very poor indeed. Maybe just too many horses to all give them the attention they need? But given they are all owned by big syndicates no doubt they will still have made a profit for the week no matter how poor a lot of them went!

However, just not limited to their .Sydney had some bad ones and looked to be a few at Hawkes Bay. However, think was a few quiets ridden in Bay, for up coming races. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can send some ground staff too when they post down a rider. My young lady helped them because they were short, got smacked in the head in the swab box, week off with concussion and I've got no staff now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised at TA not organized , don't hold your breath tho on the rider , they are struggling up north without Opie . There are a lot of jockeys doing it simply to earn a living IMO .
