Gammalite Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 Now we're Talking !! a BIG Aussie win in the flying mile trot !! wahoo 😁. (Too short to back though) ANyway it's Chief up and home on the Aussie 'Aldebaran Zeus' for 8 points in that one ... Nicky Chilcott does Gamma a favour with a big run from the rank outsider in 3rd spot , so 8 points too. and Blackie too , who gets another 4 points 3rd. Tony Herlihy has little luck with his pacing-bred trotter in 4 th place for Mikey and the Galah.

Gammalite Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 The GRIN RACE. With Double Delight needing to be in the money in the trot for Mikey he is just a fraction to far back unfortunately to take the BOAY title even if Copy That and No Matter Wat quinella it for him . Brodster can only get to 40 points with a Copy That win. Chief could Trifecta with the 2 Aussies and Self Assured and get 18 points . so is not quite close enough either. NoworNever has numbers 1, 6, 9, 10 and 11 running so can Definitely Win 🏆 Gammalite has the 2 Aussies, + Self Assured and Kango running so can definitely win 🏆 Move Over Blackie !!!! Blackie has Self Assured and Kango as well, but also Old Town Road in the Pocket to take the BOAY crown !! (maybe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gammalite Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 Congrats Copy That . what a win . too good tonight . Rest of place getters had their chance. Mark caught 3 wide by Kango lol. for a lap was the end of his chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeynz Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) Copy That just to good but that draw at Cambridge especially is so crucial, B D Joe seems to get bad draws but in reality there were only 4 or 5 realistic chances. I watched but if I was listening I would have got the idea Self Assured was looking likely in the last bit but was never looking likely. I find the tv coverage all a bit rushed, that Jason Teaz type show would be ideal on a night like this, why not run it on free to air channel, let the trackside crew do their job for the whole night, just let trackside join in when it suits. Just my thoughts. Back to the race the only thing that would have beaten Copy That was bad luck as in a bad draw.

He did win it last year so the 'other' NZ cup winner gets his turn which is great. Sky Channel here in Oz, instead of rushing off to dog races immeadiately they hit the line at Nz trots, actually stayed on this time for the Trackside Lady interview with Blair Orange coming back to weigh-in , And it was Excellent !!!! he is a very well spoken gentlemen (that we never got to hear from previously in Aus) so a nice treat to end it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeynz Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I think the young lady interviewing does ok but just straight after the race, everyone is hyped up, need time to calm down and perhaps be a bit more reflective but it is what is, bet 95% of those turning up tonight at Cambridge will be noticeable by their absence next week or whenever.

Blackie Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Geez he ran them, did our Blair. Well done that man 👍. Turned it into a mile race after a stroll through the first bit, and I’ve always said the best stayers win miles, can click the sub quarters over & over. Thanks again Gamma for the entertainment, certainly keeps one’s interest, be lost without that. Maiden win? That was a long time ago last century 😎. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
