Doomed Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Gee that Omoto track looks to be in great nick. I bet Riccarton and Trentham would love to have track turned out in that condition. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Pitman benefit I would have thought, first good track anywhere in the country for a while. I do realise Myers is cleaning up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomed Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 What a great race the Cup. It would be a great pity to lose races like that. Just imagine if it was held at Riccarton in front of a tiny crowd and with no Myers horses. I suspect Camino Rocoso is better ridden off the pace these days. I can recall him going a similar race at Riccarton last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I'm enjoying the camera angles. It feels a lot more exciting to watch the racing a Greymouth than Ellerslie or Riccarton! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shad Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Certainly a few new year resolutions on the coast today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly didn't spot any high fiving and yahooing from connections after any of the wins. Very low key on the coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laking with his quiet hands and ability to hold him up, Both Gelled together, might be another decent race in him yet 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK it's never that easy, but it helps save some 🥕 🥕 At the end where it counts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
