  3. Indeed. Both top class fillies.
  4. Silent Sedition won in 2017 from barrier 10 and Sunlight won from barrier 9 in 2019. imperatriz won last year from barrier 7
  5. If you read the NZTR staement I put up for Insider a few posts ago it states they will be back for April 27th.
  6. I had an email from them. Dear Ted, This year is going to be a big one for us here at the TAB. As we prepare to provide our customers with some of the new things they’ve been asking for, we’ve also had to look at some of the products we currently offer TAB customers. As part of this, Fixed Odds First4, Pick6 and Place6 bet types will no longer be offered from today, Wednesday 13 March. We can see that these are bet types you’ve used recently and understand you might be disappointed by their removal. We have lots of great alternative bet types for you to consider: For Fixed Odds First4: · Tote First4 · Fixed Trifectas For Pick6: · Quaddies For Place6: · Fixed Odds Multis Thanks for continuing to be a valued customer of TAB. The TAB Team
  7. The Hawkes Bay Cup meeting is to be run at Otaki on Saturday 13th: Saturday 13 April This meeting will now be an Otaki-Maori RC Licence at Otaki (previously Hawke’s Bay). The programme advertised, including the Hawke’s Bay Cup and City of Napier Sprint, will be held on this day to avoid any disruption to both programming and the black-type pattern previously advertised. The stake for what was advertised as The Poverty Bay Cup will revert to $40,000. The Poverty Bay Cup will now be run on the Open 2100m race at the Hawke’s Bay meeting on Saturday 27 April for the previously advertised stake of $55,000.
  8. Bold front running jummper who won both the NZ Grand National Hurdles and the Great Northern Hurdles in the same year 1985. 13 wins 3 on the flat, four over hurdles and six over the steeples.
  9. 1963 When Great Sensation won his third Wellington Cup in row beating Stipulate by a length and half. Stipulate actually went out favourite and was looking to win the NZ Cup, Auckland Cup and Wellington Cup in the same season.
  10. Go and have a good look at the replay Gubes. He was luckless. Barrier one was always going to be very awkward for him and his position in the race was dictated by the horse in the blue clolours in front of him hence where he was positioned back in a bad spot turning in. He was blocked in the straight and had to come across heels and it was pleasing to see when he did get clear air some nice acceleration before having to be eased short of the line when running out of room yet again. As mentioned it was good to see that turn of foot again when he did get some clear air. He won't be long returning to the winner's circle.
  11. Balmerino did win two races in England Stodge. 1977 Vadoe Stakes and the 1978 Clive Graham Stakes both run at Goodwood.
  12. Terrific. He was a good staying horse who enjoyed the big roomy Trentham track. There he won the 1966 NZ St Leger Stakes 2800m, 1967 Trentham Stakes 2400m and the 1967 Chalmers Handicap 3200m.
  13. I don't suppose someone has a screenshot of the divdends of the last R7 at Tauherenikau today. Surely the place dividend for the 2nd horse Sol De Otono at $11.80 is incorrect??? Should have been more like $1.80. The filly was paying just over $5 to win a few minutes brfore the race when I looked and NZTR show the filly paying $5.80 as the win dividend at the jump. The quinella looks ok with the $5.40 winner Phone A Friend with Sol De Otono at $17.10 and the trifecta at $97.00 seems in order also. Sol De Otono was first selection by the TAB, Bevan Sweeney made her a Best Bet on the day and she was also first selection in the Race Form. That place dividend of $11.80 is just sticking out like the proverable.........
  14. Rev The NZ Derby was the amalgamation of two races in 1973.....The Great Northern Derby run since 1875 at Ellerslie and the NZ Derby run at Riccarton since 1860.
  15. Perhaps but will the Northern horses want to travel that far on Sunday after travelling down to Hastings and back today and then 13 days later travel to Trentham for the Oaks? Looking at the calendar there isn't a lot of options.
  16. That is unfair blaming the jockey's. They are the ones putting life and limb on the line and I have had communication from the track that under the circumstances the right decision was made. Perhaps if the meeting had started a few hours earlier than it did they may have got through the card.
  17. A number of 3yos have their plans thrown up in the air.
  18. Grant Cooksley was known as The Iceman "Mouse" Kennedy "Baggy " Hillis Lester Piggot "The Long Fellow"
  19. Very sad indeed to hear of the loss of this great mare. I backed her at her very first start at Te Rapa in July 2018 in a 2yo race and had made her top selection for the BGP. She was at $30.00 & $6.00 and finished second and she then won her next two starts in NZ before crossing the ditch and having an illustrious career. 36 starts for 16 wins 11 at G1 level.
  20. Are you talknig about Buenos Noches? If so, he wasn't ridden upside down as Jimmysstar was. Buenos Noches has always been settled back in the running in his races.
  21. Hi Gubes You remain true to form (as expected) and will defend a rider to the hilt no matter what the circumstances. Riders are human and as such oft to make mistakes, you will see them every race day to be fair and that is understood. However when you see something so completely wrong a comment is warranted. Looking at a number of racing stories in Australia media this morning there has only been condemantion of the ride and as you are aware Craig's ride has been slated by trainer Ciaron Maher and the owners. By Craig's own admission he f#*ked up and has apologised. Unfortunately there are no mitigagting circumstances in the tactics used, he went forward from the get go and worked to finally get to the front completely against instructions and the horse's normal racing pattern. Your last sentence only illustrates why this option was wrong. I just hope yesterday's ride does not undo all the good work that has gone into the horse. Unfortunately we haven't seen Giga Kick since and it would be a shame if Jimmysstar has been affected by the ride yesterday. I certainly hope not and hope he can bounce back when ridden properly next start. Between you and me I am not expecting Craig Williams to be listed as the rider.
  22. Well the evidence is compelling. Ciaron Maher who trains the horse was annoyed and frustrated withe the ride and the accused has pleaded guilty. “Completely foreign territory for the horse, Disappointing for the punters and the owners and I know Ciaron is pretty annoyed and frustrated. “To Craig’s credit he came back and apologized. He said I made a blue with the ride.”
