gubellini 3,923 Report post Posted April 29, 2017 Pottsie no it has never been achieved in NZ. Ted Winsloe trained 7 winners on the 9 race programme at the first day of the Gore Spring Meeting on 24/10/64. Remarkably on the second day two days later he did not get any winners.

Mardy 475 Report post Posted April 30, 2017 Yip there was a nice sole of grass on it today.The galloping club always run a trainers prize for most wins at their meeting.I'm not sure how many he's won in the last 10 years...but he got another $500 for being leading trainer at the meeting...he must think its easy money when he comes here.No doubt tho that cub is grateful for his support as if it wasn't for Kevin Myers i'd say some meetings here would of been in doubt. elbow, Tinkerbelle and THE TORCH 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shad 1,539 Report post Posted April 30, 2017 Top effort, were would the smaller clubs be without his support, be lucky even to have enough horses to run a meeting. We're Doomed and elbow 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent surface. Good standard of racing and an amazing effort to secure 10 of the 16 races over the two days. Nashville was really impressive in the Cup and a great moment at the presentation to get Terry and Robbie out there to celebrate their 1000 Club induction - two jockeys who have served the MRC well over the years.

I'd like to see someone do a YouTube show with Dummy, in front of a roaring open fire, with a bottle of port or whiskey, and a big blue cheese fondue, let him have a ramble titled "fuckwits I've known in racing, and the stupid things they've done", it'd be gold, just like he is. elbow, aquaman, THE TORCH and 2 others 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont agree often but as for Kevin Myers he is indeed a legend. He has to be admired for his stand over trackside talks. He talks to Dennis Ryan of the Informant but not many others and why should he? He first rode for me when he was 16, young and cheeky and in the shadow of elder brother Patrick who was the leading amateur rider.He has come a long way since then Tinkerbelle, kdt and bazach 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinkerbelle 79 Report post Posted May 1, 2017 It was ridiculous- not even a sidebar in the Dim Post today when Blenheim is in the general circ. area. Instead Splurge got a mention , when it's trained in north and raced on Saturday. No oversight of racing cover anymore :-( THE TORCH 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shad 1,539 Report post Posted May 1, 2017 Only results in press today, very poor indeed, its a credit to club,supporting owners, trainers, that Blenheim are still racing, given nelson and westport have been defunct for so many year's now, without the myers runners, they may suffer the same fete.

We're Doomed 4,824 Report post Posted May 1, 2017 I suppose because Blenheim doesn't have a racing writer as such and the papers rely on picking up stories from elsewhere rather than someone actually showing some initative.

The irony is that the local paper did do a write up but you're absolutely correct that no one at NZTR level which is charged w promoting the sport has shown the initiative and picked it up ..

rdytdy 5,335 Report post Posted May 1, 2017 It's been done before. Paddy Busuttin (I think it was over Easter) at a two day meeting at Tauherenikau trained six winners the first day and another four on the second day.

We're Doomed 4,824 Report post Posted May 1, 2017 Just now, rdytdy said: It's been done before. Paddy Busuttin (I think it was over Easter) at a two day meeting at Tauherenikau trained six winners the first day and another four on the second day. I don't recall Tauherenikau racing twice over Easter. I think it used to be Fielding and even Trentham if I recall correctly.

rdytdy 5,335 Report post Posted May 1, 2017 It was definitely at Tauherenikau. Probably around 1983. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
We're Doomed 4,824 Report post Posted May 1, 2017 You are quite correct rdytdy, Fielding and Tauherenikau both raced sat and monday over Easter in 1983. I don't know who trained the winners, but interestingly Fielding turned over $296,000 and $236,000 on course and Tauherenikau $178,000 and $151,000. Busy day the Monday; Auckland, Taupo, Fielding, Tauherenikau, Riccarton and Riverton. Things have certainly changed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinkerbelle 79 Report post Posted May 1, 2017 I don't say it's a record -- just that it's a significant feat which merits recognition by the sport's governing body. Which currently pays a lot of money to contract out its PR. Added to which, it was the nz gallops meet of the day so the club also deserves some publicity.

rdytdy 5,335 Report post Posted May 1, 2017 Quite agree Tinkerbelle it is a tremendous feat, I was only pointing out that Paddy had achieved the same feat previously.

Pottsie 56 Report post Posted May 1, 2017 Thought the TAB odds that I took of $81 was a bit low for 8 winners. I was happy after race 5, but 6 winners and 2 seconds was the lot. Great stuff Kevin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
