Rowley Mile Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I think Mr Q might be a former leading trainer here in Oz, Greg Bennett, could be wrong, but as Greg broke in the likes of Makybe Diva and won so many country trainers premierships plus is the countries most respected horse breaker, well, it's a possibility if not a probability.....Greg would or could fix him if anyone can.......22nd Sept, bring it on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomass Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Oh ok so maybe not a 'behaviourist' in the whispering Monty form? I see Waterhouse is pleading for them to get Monty in to have a go... ...and whoever is doing it was "confident" of success last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pick too RM. I probably would have gone for Monty who I'm guessing would have taken more of a psychological approach whereas whomever Mr Q is, is obviously using a more behavioural one which appears to be working. A very good decision by stewards I think which takes the pressure off the horse and handlers. It was never going to be an overnight fix. No doubt from that trial, the horse is in fine fettle and still loves to race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has she had more to say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is field shy as opposed to a tardy jumper hence is storming late runs on the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomass Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Actually Robbie even sounds like Gai now... It was the same when Ritchie Yuill was training with Shilling for Jillings... ...he eventually ended up having the same intonations and affectations... Just like 2 religious people I know..life partners...never swear... ...when they hurt themselves...both say "ouch" Hilarious..but that's what happens with partners... Whats yours and Woddys cute identical affectations..if ya don't mind moi asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curious Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Chautauqua leaves the barriers in Flemington jump out 21 September 2018 by ThoroughbredNEWS News Desk The Hawkes' trained sprinter Chautauqua has overcome the first hurdle on his way to being reinstated to race, leaving the gates with the field in a jump-out at Flemington. After Chautauqua successfully left the barriers, Tommy Berry, who flew from Sydney for the jump out, did not extend the champion sprinter over the 800m. Chautauqua still needs to pass two official barrier trials before being allowed to race again. Racing NSW stewards placed a ban Chautauqua after he failed to jump in six trials and was slowly away in a special race day trial at Rosehill on August 25th.
