Gammalite Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Well Sam Payne has spoilt the party with a well timed run with 'Anna Love' to take the Junior Drivers race above. (R6 today) and costing me the quinella. Carter Dalgety with a near perfect drive takes 2nd placing , heading off Sarah (3rd with 'Better be Sharp') as they came up the long grassy straight. So yes , it's a point to Carter sadly, and Brodster getting ever closer to the pace (and the money) Points Update = Sarah O'Reilly 3 points, Carter Dalgety 2 points. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowornever Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Anna Love was the best bet in the race by far. Wasn't confident about the driver getting any luck in the straight but was happy to back it at those odds each way. Add in the two top juniors and an easy trifecta. Morries Girl was way under the odds in that race with Fitzgerald driving and boosted the odds on all the others. I have done well in the past in the junior driver races backing against him as he is normally on a form horse and a very high percentage of the time runs out of the money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The head to heads see Carter drawn 9 alley today Brodie, with Casino Action (Sarah at the Pole-marker) R8 Nelson. and on Tuesday at Ashvegas Carter drawn the very outside again with Pink Panther Bounce in the juniors. Sarah on Topaz on the second row. Your boy is gunna have to at his Very Best to Pull off the 2 Wins ?? How good is he ?? Plus I'm giving Sarah a point for LONE WOLF. no Carter in that one but too bad 😉 .

Carter has done the right thing by Brodster and after Beating John Dunn with AJIRA and costing him driving the Quaddie in the process, has engaged him to drive the horse today , instead of Sarah !!! so Now the EVANGELIST's of matthew,mark,luke and 'Honest'John ,gamma and Davis are staring down the barrel of a Carter team-play at Nelson today to draw level on the head to head challenge , and send us back to 'church' for prayer lol. 😂 here's the field today Race 8. and the point added for the sensational Carter drive on AJIRA on day 1. 1 035029 Emma's Boy 6 g R53 1 Ft Gerard O'Reilly Ivan Court 2 595081 Ajira 4 g R53 2 Ft John Dunn Cran & Chrissie Dalgety 3 970365 J R Bromac 6 g R55 3 Ft Blair Orange Ken Barron 4 405630 McCrikey 5 g R55 4 Ft Ricky May Greg & Nina Hope 5 613312 Casino Action 4 g R57 5 Ft Carter Dalgety(J) Cran & Chrissie Dalgety 6 6L5924 Evangalist 5 m R57 6 Ft Sarah O'Reilly(J) Jason & Ian Thomas 7 049074 Jazelle 7 m R57 7 Ft Zachary Butcher Matt Purvis 8 247X21 Winegum 4 g R57 8 Ft Bob Butt Bob Butt 9 047647 Doctor Tim 9 g R58 9 Ft Sam Thornley(J) Michael House points update>> SarahO'Reilly 4 pts, Carter Dalgety 3 Points (crikey he's getting close now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah has more drives than Carter at the mo but young Carter is going to be picking the drives left right and centre soon. You will admit in the future that Brodie is on the money lol Anyway it is good for the industry and we need more of them. Dunn benefit day at Nelson.

To be fair mate, Casino Action was by far the best horse in the field, so he should have won. Stevie Wonder could have got it home. Both Dalgety horses better than the rest in that field. Sarah's drive Evangelist isn't much of a horse, inconsistent and needs a soft run to feature in the finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 Carters UDR is .4889 Sarah’s .1792 currently Says it all really? Carter Dalgety would have the best UDR ever I would say and he is only going to improve Certainly as good as Dexter at the same age ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss o'reilly went back early and as a result the zac butcher driven jazelle,who drew outside her and who hadn't gone forward either,but hadn't gone back to the same extent,ended up getting in front of her.As a result of that,Evangalist never looked close enough to win.In hindsight,the difference between winning and running 4th was what happened in the first 100m.

Brodie Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 Current UDR Carter Dalgety .4902 Sarah O’reilly .1440 You would have to think that Carter is the better driver at this stage by quite a lot and definitely the equal of Dexter in only his second season of driving? Best UDR of any Junior ever for 15 drives or more? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you watch Gregs interview with Dexter on box seat recently?it may not be long before Carter joins Dexter over there in the future.dexter cleared 1 million last season after tax and who knows how much slings he got on top.why bother even planning a future in Australasia when you can make so much money in north America if you can survive the daily mass shootings 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dunn has also mentioned ithat he may well be going in the next few years as well. Things need to change but We are not seeing too much being done for the betterment of the industry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gammalite Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Just having a look at the latest 2 Junior Drivers Races results. At Rangiora last Sunday and Ashburton last Monday Junior driver races. Seems Carter going ok and running 2nd in both of them. but Out-driven maybe ?? 😂 Outdriven by young Aussie Lass Shannon O'Sullivan. taking victory in both those races. Thought you guys had had enough of Natalie showing the drivers there how to do it ?? do ya need some more Aussies to get ya sorted? Any excuses Brodster ??😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Aussie(🙄) O'Sullivan out for three days for more than a wrist flicking action, would have learned that off her Dad :). ps Carter fined $250 for trying to keep up with her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the galah Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 (edited) The funny thing about the s o'sullivan drive on ardens delight was she was spoken to "advisedly about chewing gum,and warned of the health and safety implications". If you watched the trackside close up as they came down the straight with a round to go,you can actually see her blowing a bubble with the chewing gum,when carter dalgety is taking the lead off her. Quite funny i thought. Edited May 1, 2023 by the galah 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite funny i thought. Actually when you think about it,thats the type of thing that could be given a push to get a bit of mainstream media coverage. "aussie driver shows you can chew gum and drive harness winners at the same time". All they would need to show was the 20 second montage of the differing stages of the race that trackside showed after the race,while telling viewers to take particular note of the driver in the purple blowing bubbles with her chewing gum while in a duel for the lead,they could stop it at the point she pops it on her face,then the 5 second bit of the end of the race as a wrap. They would have a footnote that the aussie driver was spoken to advisedly about the possible health and safety implications of chewing gum by stewards. Isn't it the type of thing that may get some coverage. People like to be amused and it would be a good bit of publicity for the sport.

Shannon has been fined a couple of times in Aus for 'Noise' . screams like a banshee sometimes like Damien Oliver does at the gallops, to scare the beejeezus out of the horse and get that extra bit of finish pace . Just as well the stewards were never at the Test cricket. Mark Taylor , Mark Waugh , Shane Warne and many other Baggy Greens too, make the milking cow herd of dairy cows look so slow ,the cricket lads could of cleared the pasture in a day. Chewing like mad things lol... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
