Guest 2Admin2 Report post Posted November 14, 2017 Interesting though if you compare who Kawi has beaten compared to Gingernuts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd return serve by saying how has each of the two gone in Australia ? and of course one is very much a youngster with ( hopefully ) plenty of blue sky ahead, the other is probably coming to the end of his career Haunui Farm Grp1 Feb Otaki Thorndon Mile Grp1 Jan Wellington Zabeel Classic Grp1 Dec Auckland The last time I checked there wasn't any form out of Gingernuts OZ win.

I never warmed to Xtravagant but I love Gingernuts, I really like Embellish too. Same yard of course so I'm not biased. I still look at them through a jockeys eyes and ask myself, can you trust that horse? would it be compliant and easy to ride ? would it work with you or against you ? will it always give you its best ? can it cope with pressure ? In the UK Timeform puts a squiggle next to any horse who's reluctant, not genuine, or untrustworthy. I don't think the NZ media would know how to distinguish such horses of course but it'd be a useful addition to punting if the TAB could employ someone to identify such types, then I wouldn't have to do it here Anyway if Kawi got a conviction every time he behaved badly using my criteria above he'd be in Paremoremo doing life. Where is the cheating black bastard anyway ? is he taking an injury break because someone hurt his feelings ? Jeez, a big ask there for NZ media P4P....they can barely get the simple form right let alone identify the cheaters.....

Guest 2Admin2 Report post Posted November 14, 2017 42 minutes ago, poundforpound said: As I said CD form, except for one fluke at Auckland. Gingernuts form from Ozz is current, this calendar year, give him a chance FFS. No wonder the poor bastard broke down carrying you on his fucking back 24/7. How’s that low black bastards form from Perth looking ? Good enough for a trip to Tassie or is that aiming a bit too high ? Using that theory shows you how good Kawi is carrying you and your caustic criticism for 3 years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You on the other hand couldn’t ride on the #7 bus without help, and the one thing you can’t google is “style & ability”. Still finding the internet challenging? Probably as you still seem to have trouble determining Spring vs Summer and Auckland vs CD. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dec, Jan and Feb (when the three Grp 1's I mentioned were run) are Summer months NOT Spring. Ellerslie is in Auckland not the CD. Did you know that Kawi has not returned a stake only once in 34 starts? I guess $1.2 million in stakes isn't to be laughed at either.

100 1 1,386 Report post Posted November 15, 2017 My point is at the only time they have met over 1600m there appears a length difference. I could have an educated guess a say over 2000m there maybe 1.5 - 2l difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooby3051 10,695 Report post Posted February 8, 2018 Gingernuts back home in New Zealand Gingernuts has made remarkable recovery. Photo: Te Akau Racing. Article Author Tom Baddock 08 February 2018 0 Comments Star Kiwi galloper Gingernuts has returned home to New Zealand just over three months after suffering a serious injury at Flemington. The multiple Group I winner suffered the potentially life-threatening injury during the Melbourne spring carnival but on Thursday arrived safely home to Te Akau Stud in New Zealand. The gelding bizarrely fractured a pastern cantering on his way to the barriers for the Group I Emirates Stakes at Flemington on November 11. He subsequently had surgery to correct the break at the University of Melbourne Veterinary Clinic at Werribee and has since been nursed back to health at King's Park Equine Clinic at Mornington. The popular chestnut improved to the stage that he was passed fit to travel back to New Zealand earlier this week and on Thursday afternoon returned to the elated staff at Te Akau Stud on where he will continue his rehabilitation. "We'll look after him for the rest of his life," Te Akau manager David Ellis said. Such is the Gingernut’s popularity in New Zealand that his return to the country will televised nationally tonight. Te Akau Racing expressed their delight on twitter. Gingernuts lands in New Zealand. Gingernuts retuns to the paddock at Te Akau Stud.
