The BOAY Constellations Grand Circuit poster Championship


Gammalite

Recommended Posts

The big night Saturday Night of the year at Albion , and to celebrate the Grand Circuit Event the Group 1 The Blacks A Fake, here's a small comp for some Fun ..

The 'front' row Barrier draw has been done for the 'Stalwarts' of BOAY harness racing. The second row still has vacancies for those that might like a number.

RULES. a/ players have the same horse number , every race, from race No 1 through to Race 8 The Blacks A Fake Grand circuit event. (so a max of 8 horses)

             b/ Points given each race 8 pts for 1st placing, 6 pts for 2nd, 4 pts for 3rd, 3 pts for 4th, 2 pts for 5th, 1 pt for 6th. 

             c/ The winning BOAY poster will be the player with the most points after race 8 Saturday night at Albion Park Brisbane. and wins the 

Barrier Draw (you have the same horse number every race  )

 Number 1's  DAVIS ,  Davis kicks off in race 1 with one of his favourites in 'Captain Crusader' (a huge chance) and 'Triple Eight' in the feature race.

Number 2's RANGATIRA , Ranga has a fine selection of 2's including kiwi trainer Nathan Purdon with his fine filly 'Amore Vita' in the QLD Oaks.

Number 3's HUNTERthePUNTER, Hunter has a great show with 'Credit Master' in the trotters Cup and kiwi 'Spirit of St Louis' in the feature race too.

Number 4's CHIEF STIPE, the Chief in with a rough chance , and could be 'Kashed Up' after the first race. 'A G's White Socks' carrys kiwi hope for him as well.

Number 5's GAMMALITE , drawn out a bit so will be under pressure, but if 'Ronaldo' wins the first race it could be Goal ! goal! goal ! lol.

Number 6's THE GALAH, caught wide out The Galah will have to 'Turn It Up' in the big race to take victory. He is a real Raconteur though.! so might win Race 1.

Number 7's BRODIE, the Brodster virtually No chance from this alley, but is does go off 'Like A Wildfire' so gets him in the Big race, and he's 'Rockin With Elvis' in race 2 

so can't half be bad Brodster !! he might put you back 'In the Ghetto or 'Heartbreak Hotel though .....lol....

The second row draws of numbers 8 to 13 are still open for any interested players ???  (some good horses drawn there too)

pick your number and join up ?? @Blackie? , @Greyhound?, @Walt? @Mikey? @Happy Sunrise? ..anyone?   just let us know here.... if you're interested

Great field. At first glance I'd pick Majestic Cruiser from that draw?

Possibly Better Eclipse to win ? racing well and drawn 8 behind the 'Bunny' stable-mate ,old kiwi horse Triple Eight , which might be sacrificed and hold the lead at all costs.

over 2680m this time round,  the outside runners would be mad to go full gas early on you would think.

Yes, he will win from that draw. I don't think he is going as well as he was last season but should still win this easily. He's a lovely looking horse, athletic and strong. One things certain mate, he won't be paying $81 & $18 this week. I won't back him if he is too short. It's going to be a great night of harness mate, enjoy.

Think Captain Crusader should of won last week IMO. had $10 ew at 50-1 here. wasn't a great drive by Rickie at all. Young Will Rixon will be winning from the pole in race 1 I reckon.

We've discussed this, mate. Alchin is a great trainer, one of the best in Australasia, but his driving is not of the same standard. Yes, young Rixon will handle him well. That's another thing I like about Australian harness trainers there give these young drivers a go. You've got young Rixon and the likes of young gun Hart. That's why I like Majestic Cruiser to win for the young guy. Over there top drivers get a chance despite their age, here the likes of Sarah O'Reilly, the best female driver since Natalie Rasmussen, gets few drives and even fewer group race drives. Crazy~

One day closer to the BIG Constellations Grand Final. Still a couple of players needed for the BOAY Championship.

Here's the Race 2 field , (where Davis will be leading after Race 1 ) and a great chance to extend his lead with the pole marker MY ULTIMATE COBBER. (good luck with that cobber lol)

With a few BOAY posters falling by the wayside , retired to stud , or put to sleep etc we are missing Walt, Happy , Forbs , Karrots , etc, 

Will slot Karrots in for old tzimes sake at SLOT 11. so she gets the great SAGINAW in this race (who can ever forget the HUGE debate at BOAY on the Ross Cameron drive a year ago ?????  good grief , the poor bugger, lol  ......

 , and Karrots can then support the great colt LEAP TO FAME in the Derby lol.... (against all the Sweet Lou's lol...)

Paleface Adios likes the Hewitt's so can have the Alley 12 in the BOAY championship. This get 's their fast horse ROCKIN MARTY in the big race, and old Bob Butt trotter LOTAMUSCLE in race 4.

Race 4 sees the trotters go round, and we can see why it's Best to race your trotter in Australia rather than NZ>>>

Examples DOFF YOUR CAP . last year racing in South Island NZ had 15 starts for 1 win and $20,000. then This year in Aus has had 8 starts for 4 wins and $43,000 in prizemoney. 

CREDIT MASTER , last year in North Island NZ had 10 starts for 1 win and $16,000. This year in Aus has had 6 starts for 3 wins and $64,000. And they look the Quinella chance in this race ??  Race 4 Saturday night G1.

If TAUPIRI WONDER is out there? he can have all the Number 9 horses on the program. that gets him a Waikato trotter in Majestic Harry , from his home area?. Harry now owned by the 'Skychanel' lady , the lovely Britney Graham who interviews the drivers at the race starting points.

That is sharp improvement alright by Global Flight. Narissa McMullen a very good horseperson from a family that is just as good as the Rasmussen Clan in Queensland. and you've seen in NZ how good a Rasmussen can be.

Narissa would get a lot of help from brother Pete. Pete has some of the best results with trotters. Pete Won last Tuesday with his newbie from kiwiland KING OF THE NORTH in 1.57 odd. Funny thing is they had a huge Plonk on the horse every run since end of June, and only 2nd first 2 Aussie starts but won the other 2 starts during the past 10 days ok , so they have got a little bit back at least lol .  He is gunna be a good one here.  

This QLD CUP trot has another ex-pat kiwi WEE MAN TROUBLE in too on Saturday night , so a sneaky chance for Blackie , following through behind DOFF YOUR CAP. but lovely if Brittany's trotter takes it out...

Race 6 is the Group 1 Queensland Derby and If Amore Vita win's the Oaks for kiwi's Nathan Purdon and Rangatira in race 5, Ranga seems a big chance of the Daily Double with Luke McCarthy drawing 2 with the moderate South Island performer, (now grown a leg with Luke) in CANTFINDABETTORMAN. I can FindaBettorHorse though in LEAP TO FAME ,who hopefully will give the local champ Grant a big win. here's the field.........

and the likes of young gun Hart. That's why I like Majestic Cruiser to win for the young guy.

Well picked Mate. and Luke McCarthy had a juniot driver as well , the  young Jack Callaghan drive the fav for him too, into 2nd place .(Spirit of St Louis) and he beat Luke in earlier race too.

Two Junior drivers quinella!! wow!  in a Grand Circuit race !!  the driving standard here in Oz is in great hands for more decades, Hart and Callaghan are both near 10/10 drivers already.

The 2 juniors dead -heated in that race just above this post too. Cam Hart and Taleah Mc..

Thanks mate. It's been a great carnival. Young Cameron Hart has a big future in the game. Majestic Cruiser I like that horse, I like his style of racing, not many horses with a sprint like that these days mate! He keeps coming...  I'd love to see him at Addington for NZ Cup, he'd be a royal show. 

Yes, you are right about Australian trainers giving young drivers ago. Matthew Craven uses the juniors and he doesn't need to because he is a good driver himself. As you last night Taleah and before her he had the lovely Sofia Arviddsen driving Group race winners.

It's been a great carnival. I came out ahead because of good collects off Captain Crusader and Majestic Cruiser so I am happy. Hope you got plenty mate.

While they still go around it's a great bit of traditional entertainment, and you can admire the skill level and horse-power on display. There was still some NZ interest I thought , so tried to generate some support here , but we didn't have the travelling trainers like last year when American Dealer won the Derby, Krug had a crack, Copy That and of course Amazing Dream taking the 2 big Group 1's. 

Quite a few Nz owners had a go , they put horses with the Oz trainers these days which makes sense I guess. Alta Orlando is STILL earning big dollars for example. and owned by NZ leading trainers. Luke Whittaker won a Group 1 too, a young Nz driver, winning the trot like Anthony Butt did last year. 

Bring on the NZ Cup and FFA carnival Addington Nov . can't wait.
