Outrageous!  Integrity will help us to pen an email. To be fair, I don't think many picked the eventual winner either, let alone the TAB.  Madan stole it and won easy in the end.  

Oh no, the nag only ran 4th!  Turns out by using the phrase  'for sure' the TAB actually means 'maybe'. Could the implied threat becomes a promise...............medium or rare?

Today at Waverley......."Looks the winner here for sure whatever way you slice and dice it" So it's horse meat on the menu today is it?

Lael Stables' grade 1 winner She Feels Pretty has been made the 5-2 morning-line favorite in a deep field of 10 3-year-old fillies assembled for the $750,000 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes (G1T) Oct. 12 at Keeneland.View the full article

Think about the people that live with him . Dougie used to ban him even if it left him with no one to talk to .

It won't be long..doing my head in.

Famous last words WD . 😝

Yeah , just like you are forcing posters here to go to other forums because of your constant bleating . Thomas go back to Dougie , he's missing quality posters there .

My plan is to breed but will not be taking anymore broodmares as there is now no incentive to breed the original quantity as there is no incentive for others to buy into an in foal  broodmare.. I will only be breeding to achieve my  original goal.   that will be around 4 or five in number , not 25 or so as I will not be able to sell them on.

As a buyer, Thoroughbred auctions have treated owner Jeff Ganje well, evidenced by his acquisition of eventual graded stakes winners Shotgun Hottie and Beatbox, both for modest sums in a sport where six- and seven-figure purchases are not uncommon. View the full article

I think the number of breakers (not at Piha) in trot race starts has not improved much over the years and the larger punters avoid them . mobiles should be the preference ,at least would help. but Clubs were instructed to card at least 2 trot races which proved to be lower betting figures.so were reluctant to add more trot races if enough pacers were available.Harsh as it may seem USA and Europe have big penalties for Trotters breaking at start or during race especially "free of interference" so it is not the Clubs at fault. (entirely )

Interesting to note it is free entry to Te Rapa this Saturday, where the racing is being held, and $30 to get into Hastings without any racing. At least Hasting this time has the advantage of knowing the event should proceed without incident.

The horse (BD Joe)  is old and well past best.  (which was 2 years ago now) Only one win Nz and one win in Aus last year 2023, and absolute zip this year. A lot of horses like BD Joe just do their best with some regularity in the training/  racing as you sort of suggest. NZ Owners have sent many to Aus over the years so they can have regular normal racing with consistency and use a horses capabilities to get best results . BD Joe would be great in Brisbane . Racing old NZers  Deus Ex, Northview Hustler, Mossdale Terry  who all were getting nothing in NZ but can win Albion FFA against each other once every 5 or 6 starts ( a 2 month period) so they All get 5 -6 wins per year still.  like Mark Purdon  leasing Turn It Up to Brisbane (where uses his gate speed to great effect)  , Woodham sent Cash and Flow around for years at Menangle with great results carving out many 1.50 Mile wins.  and Woodham was probably just a 'bit late' getting South Coast Arden there but he did ok for a little bit too. ,  Even old AG's White Socks finished career in style in Victoria with 4 wins from his last 6 starts (after getting zip in Nz for a long time.)  The FFA horses that remain scrambling around in NZ in these Standing Start rubbish all the time, end up with scrambled brains,  like BD Joe, and possibly BeachBall  Jolimont and Old Town Road have/ will be doing , and you just won't win what they are (or were) capable of . Merlin, Self Assured, Don't Stop Dreaming, Akuta , Better Eclipse the TOP ones,  just too good and will break their hearts.  sadly been nearly done to BD Joe already  

Top European miler Charyn will embark on his stallion career for Nurlan Bizakov's Sumbe operation in France in 2025. The 4-year-old son of Dark Angel could run two more times, including a possible trip to America for the Breeders' Cup Mile (G1T).View the full article
