  1. Was that person with the supposed DCM active at the Inglis sales as a person with the same name purchased from the sale
  2. As documented she is out in the paddock having a spell with a plan in place for where she is going to go next. Richie has pulled her out of the Oaks and Derby believing at this stage that 2000 or more is a step to far early in her career. They had to try she was showing she maybe able to do it but these things happen. I notice that Richie has been at the Inglis sales in Sydney and picked up 3 well bred yearlings at what i would say very good prices one especially he couldn't pass up was a Foxwedge filly for approximately half the price he paid for Velope Veloche so it will be interesting to see how she goes i am one who will follow with interest
  3. I'm thinking hes hung his best mate Mcullum out to dry by not buying a horse with his Vermair syndications ha ha ha
  4. Allan did mention he was going to leave his stable in NZ going operate it as a sattelite stable but obviously with fewer horses but Victoria is where he see's his future
  5. It was corrected by the TAB trackside presenter Bevan Sweeny just before the start of the next race he confirmed it was 1.51
  6. I were personally going to go to a syndicator a few years back and looked at the options and to be honest once waying it all up cost, communication and say in the horse I looked at it as alot of associated costs for a lessor return. I am not knocking them as they have a place in the industry. What i did do was spoke to some trainers and discussed options I settled on Graham Richardson zero mark up on horses and zero syndication fees so what you get is training fee, Vet account , Pre training account and Transport account with no mark up .As for communication we get weekly updates with in more cases than not video of the horses and he is always able to talk and discuss about the horses . Now that might not be everyones cup of tea but it works for me
  7. Feel for Matt but i like the way he's getting alot of rides for Baker/Forseman , Shaune Richie, Pike etc he's a bloody good rider who can put a horse in a race and gives great explanations on his thoughts about a horse he has just ridden
  8. and he has a healthy association with Graham Richardson and one horse Velope Veloche rate Parkes very highly and he showed it over xmas and new years
  9. Do you know he is given a list of questions that he can sive through and pick the ones he wants to answer so whatever he says will be crap
  10. I have watched it several times I suppose i am looking at consistency in there rulings of late Danielle Johnson for example thats probably my only gripe
  11. Thats how i read it as well but thats my opinion
  12. spoke to shareholder of winner they celebrated twice one for win and second for Opie the talk was he was gone by the connections . In my opinion he got a early December 25 2017 present not even a warning listed against him on report at the top of page .
  13. From missing the start and almost falling HIFLYER was to me best run of day
  14. Agree with you about Jake the Muss huge run
  15. I just watched Tavidream win for the Logan Stable at Ruakaka this is what i felt. Now i'll start by saying the horse was worked up sweating like a pig and ran greenly and won easily BUT turning for home Opie steered him out to make a gap hitting another horse in doing so . Now worse was to come up the straight but i don't blame Opie for that the horse was as green as a cucumber and nearly took out Sam Whetherley's mount . Even Chris Gibbs said in interview after when asked where to next for this horse his comment was well we will have to see how long Opie will be on holiday after that ride What are your thoughts fellow cafers was it enough to get a holiday and if he does will he miss Wellington next weekend like Coleman , Johnson etc
