    A joke...so many times and they get the minimum...two tier system for the small guys and a separate one for big stables...JMO

  3. No pressure PS. They're a tough bunch team Horlicks. Phil and Aaron near the top of individual aggregates and both Rev and Gubellini very race hardened. Question is, will Rough Habit's relatively low aggregate come back to bite them in the final wash-up? Good aggregate worth half a point in a tie situation. Good luck mate, it's going to be a fun day. I'll be trying to post Live points table updates after each race to add to the drama

    Even though he hasn't called for years, he was great today at Palmy. Head and Shoulders above Rosanowski, so come on get him back fulltime and get rid of Rosanowski as a commentator.

  8. Alan Jones and Linda were also a huge part of shaping Jame's early pastoral care. Raising Calves with his mum and dad Di and Brett.His work ethic. He also had a very early career trip with George Simon and Phil V to Ireland.. NZ since 1980 has had few international rated Hoops. ( defined by premier Group One, wins in at least 3 Countries or jurisdictions but not over jumps ) We have had riding marvels like Brent Thompson ( 4 Cox Plates and Group wins in at least 4 Countries.), Lance O'Sullivan , Australia , Japan NZ J Mac is on target to ride more Group One winners in different jurisdictions than Ryan Moore !

    I think that in the not too distant future he will replace the great Tony Lee in the overall standings within this country and no one could do better than that. I am seeing something that none of the others have. Yes, it's just my opinion, and I am sticking to it.

  15. It's better to regret selling than regret not selling. Seven figures for a gelding when you own the dam and most of the siblings is an easy sell. Even if (IF) he comes out and wins the Caulfield Guineas and the Kiwi next year you'd still struggle to be mad that you sold.

  16. The thread refers to a 'promising horse'. A second and a win from two races doesn't neccessarily suggest anything more than promising. $1m in the hand speaks volumes.

  20. A couple of comments I'd like to make. Firstly, well done on.a brilliant sale. Selling to Aussie is not new and a very much needed part of racing. About the contracts to protect the worker, let us not forget that sometimes the trainer or studmaster needs protecting too. Not every worker who walks through the gate is worth keeping. A bad worker can be very difficult to shift. For anyone not happy with the direction this industry is going I trust you have done at least one term on a racing club (or other affilliate) committee, and non-paid to boot. Decisions are rarely made by one person and until you have experienced the committee decision you may be unaware of the difficulties involved.

  21. Your week to Carry the hopes of a swag of teams that are on 25 points John. The Finals hopes of a nation depend on you mate !! so eat up and drink well lol. You and your Veandercross mates need to slap up a 4-zip win on the Horlicks battlers ( who are currently on 27 pts) so that Rough Habit , Sunline or Mufhasa can gallop on by them to secure the Finals berth . Suggestions >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Just get my old mate Alf going up and down on the one spot, Kloppite to turn the 'Rev's ignition off so he doesn't rev up many winners, Pondy to shoot some bullseyes as Aaron is out of arrows surely by now? and Howie sure to have an Ace or 2 up his sleeve instead of jokers to see off his Italian oppo. Mufhasa scored a six point Haul $4000 bucks last week so am sure they will feel gassed and pretty flat after that ? , and need a spell.. Roughie galloping on past into the Final's instead seems to be on the cards lol .. So come on Veandercross !!! no relying on Shane Dye to get you home this week.

  27. The sad thing is that NZTR on one hand go on and on about declining starter numbers and declining foal crops and seem to think that increasing stakes from any pot of gold they can find is the answer, when that strategy has failed to make any difference for decades now. Yet, they show no inclination to fix the handicapping system and give the handicappers a tool to work with that would keep horses in work earning more wagering revenue etc.

  31. Well this comment from January 20th has certainly proven to be prophetic. It was made after Race 1 on Day 1 of this competition. I'd just landed a Best Bet quinella and a collect $775.20 from the first race (Alf called for me to be swabbed), and narrowly topped (by less than $10 from the current #1, winner69) the individual standings at the end of Day 1 with $1167.20. Ten weeks later I can't even collect anywhere near half the amount over 12 races that I originally collected from one race. Talk about peaking too early. A bad case of premature something I should get this result framed. It's been all downhill ever since One needs to AVERAGE $750 per week to stay on top around here. Congratulations to all those that have successfully humbled me since opening day Still, somehow I'm still sitting 7th, and going in I didn't expect to make the top 24, so I'm still have so much fun. Thank you so much, Scooby and John.

  32. Individual aggregates after Week 10 Winner69 assumes top spot and Sayer and Fiery Falcon rocket up the standings. Quite a contrast with Winner69 atop the individual standings and his team at the other extreme

  42. Round 10 - the penultimate round, so it's moving day. The three bottom teams (Mr Tiz, Showgate and Mufhasa) need to win today to keep their top 6 hopes alive. The top three teams (Bonecrusher, McGinty and Veandercross) want to win to advance their chances of a top 2 finish and a Bye in week 1 of the play-offs. The other six teams from 4th to 9th are only separated by 3 points and will be hoping to move in the right direction today. Bring it on!!

  47. Please don't feel you have to reply, but FYI it was Brett Scelley a decade ago who told me that he needed at least an 8-9kg spread to effectively handicap within the rating bands. That was at a meeting in Petone because NZTR had asked me to analyse the impact of the handicapping changes that had occurred following the Mark Webbey review a couple of years earlier, which we did pro bono. What we found then pretty much concurred with his thinking. This from the summary of that report. "The analysis clearly shows both that higher weighted horses are significantly outperforming lower weighted ones, and that females are significantly out performing males." My current data says that the situation has worsened if anything. Not a great way to create competitive racing that will build wagering revenue.

  48. Can do. But very much an individual matter, horses are not peas in a pod. Some may not be able to perform at their best above a certain impost, others don't seem to be fazed at all. There's no doubt that the weights allocated and carried decades ago did matter...but that's when handicaps were, well, handicaps.
