Gammalite Posted June 14, 2023 Author Share Posted June 14, 2023 The team to try and beat is the Aussie contingent represented by these runners below. Here's the Gammalite team of Aussie bred runners. Seems unlikely it will get beaten by any Nz mob above. But select Team A , B C or D above post to take em' on if you think you can do it , or just have a stab in the dark to support your old kiwi equine champs... TEAM Oz. Team Oz Albion Park ,QLD Menangle , NSW Melton , VIC Race 1 / Send It Common Courtesy Beach Memories Race 2 / Muscle Bart Tuppence Glamour Stride Race 3 / Class To The Max Louthario Arcee Phoenix Race 4 / Make Mine Memphis So Much More Courage Stride Race 5 / Beach Villa Artillery Cobber Race 6 / Bondi Lockdown Watt's Up Partytime Roarfor Roscoe Race 7 / Sailor Girl Mos London Zuberi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gammalite Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 4 hours ago, Chief Stipe said: Team C. Don't recognise any of the horses. Think you know 'South Coast Arden' ( the New Zealand FFA winner) ?? and 'I Cast No Shadow' ( who is the current Interdominion Pacing Champion ) can't get any bigger than that. He is racing in Brisbane tomorrow night. Also here is Can'tFindabettorman (here's a photo from his battling in Gore wet days 😂) Cantfindabettorman was 3rd in the Group 1 'Chariots of Fire' in February for Luke McCarthy . He will definitely be winning at Albion tomorrow night. could be 3 winners for you in Group C right there Chief . 🏆🏆🏆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gammalite Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 The ex-Pat kiwi winners are in the fight, for A great night of racing coming up in Oz (between 7 and 10 pm Nz Time) of 21 races. The first 7 races on the card at Albion park, Menangle and Melton. All are welcome to pick a team !!!💰. A , B , C , or D ...post your tip here. The challenge is to select the best Team from the start of the thread to defeat Gammalite's Aussie Team on points. Team A has Brodie driving as (perhaps with A is for 'Agent' , and A is for 'Adios' ) so Special Agent and Paleface Adios can join him on that gang of hopeful winners.!! Team B listed above has the B for Blackie written all over it. 😎 hope they run well for you matey. Team C listed above has C for Chief , choosing the Interdom winner team. A wise choice I think. Team D listed has The Galah picking those fine kiwi horses to get the job done. D is for Davis and D for is Doomed as well , so even though Davis has D for disappeared sadly, he will get a start with this 'Doomed' team. 😉 Gammalite's Oz team all at home chewing their oats at the moment, ready to hold this lot at bay All going well 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I didnt do an ounce of homework lol No need too mate. all in good spirit. And you've always been on the money with often saying with how good the Nz bred horses are that race in Australia. so just a little one night 'sample' on this thread of some fine performances by Nz race winners competing in Australia last night to prove it. and/ or enjoy it. think it was about 10 wins from that sample of 21 races. Bit surprised my Aussie bred selected team won the points actually as wasn't expecting that. maybe blind luck ? 😆 Still there is the odd good one (Oz trained horse) that goes over your way . Like Gammalite Lightning Blue, Westburn Grant and a few others , or in recent times like Majestic Cruiser, Bettor Eclipse . Chief is a good sport and hope he knows just tongue in cheek humour 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
