Riccarton Fields??

And more surprising to me is how disappointing some of the Myers runners have been, he certainly doesn't dominate Riccarton like he used to on his raids to the carnivals, Scapolo won well on the first day but some of his jumpers so far have been very ordinary......that could all change in the big ones of course.

Wow, 

You would have to say the first 2 days of this carnival have produced the worst fields ever. What a shame, we used to have real good northern horses down here, but poor now. 

Whats happened?

Quite simple the South Island horses have got better? In recent seasons

Gee you're an unsporting lot....Jack Frost spanks the field and the opposition is poor?

And what did Amanda Swartz' hurdler do to his rivals in the first?

?

Yes, Jackfrost won very well, but the opposition was very poor. Supporting races crap, first time i havnt had a bet on middle day. What were crowds like today freda?

Pretty light I'd have to say,  well as far as I could see.

However,  with the old stand being unavailable [earthquake damage to foundations discovered recently ]  there may have been patrons in the upstairs boxes as opposed to milling around at ground level.

There did seem to be plenty of noise coming from above!

And yes,  I may be parochial...Pitty could have been tongue-in-cheek but local horses have definitely improved in recent years.
