Your comparing the three seasonal debutants against each other , how about Comeback and Helena Baby close proximity to these horses , could be argued race fitness aided them against these other higher rated horses.The race needs to be seen as a whole not a head to head x beat y by x lengths to assess a horses performance as both might be sub par on  day.  Maybe both will come on for race. It's not playing trainer , trainers try to peak horses for targets at that level imho. Very few horses I would guess  are ready full bore every race in campaign but trainers on here would be the experts in such matters.  

A perusal of the last few pages will see multiple ad hom attacks on me the messenger. Best you do F.O ...I must have touched a nerve of...TRUTH. You, not 'ewe' do not seem to understand..IRONY.

They could put a ban on Flockofewes talking. That would do a lot for CO2 reduction targets!

Thank ewe for the compliment! As I’ve advised you before, once you get to personal insults coming in rather than debate the topic, one knows the argument is won. Irrational emotive insults are the domain of the losers. Well done to you! Case closed.

Too easy to come here to live, get (over) generous assistance, and five star care if you do happen to run foul.    

All races this week over 1609 at Alexandra Park.    Programme for 13th  September the same!    What reason???     Surely they not trying to steal the Jewels off Cambridge by proving such programmes viable at Auckland?       Will it be a regular (monthly) feature? 

makes you wonder why they cant take a $1000 off the other races and run a 10k 11th race....... the money is obviously there $180k appox for the meeting i guess its just politics how the club pays it out............

He banged his head on the truck when he was down to make his debut several weeks ago and had blood coming from one nostril. It took awhile to settle down, with a mild dose of antibiotics to do that. He had an easy time and had his first bit of quicker work, 800m at 3/4 pace last Saturday here at Cambridge. He came through that well, and will have another one tomorrow before a possible jumpout on Friday here at Cambridge. Then I will sort out a race for him. I will update you when I have a concrete plan.

Trainer rang me today Auckland can't run an 11th race.not enough dosh.is it time to use the c word.crisis.

So National endorse the fundamental case of climate change ,needing to be addressed. A handful of recalcitrant,uninformed posters here cannot seem to accept that!

Where to start on this name dropping exercise ...you will find your 'good' P.M's coincide with booming global conditions. Can't imagine why or what they would meet with a myopic, near illiterate ,clueless individual like you for. Example-'(now impossible following their stupid ban to oil exploration)'...displays lack of knowledge of topic,misinformation,and biased assumption. I'm picking with a handle like Trump you are an entitled individual of little talent who was 'given' a corporate sinecure compliments of the old boy network.

Here is Pandemic, blue jacket...looks like something special..... https://racing.racingnsw.com.au/FreeFields/VideoResult.aspx?MeetDate=2019Aug17&VenueCode=Mzc0ODIwNg==&RaceNumber=3&MeetingCategory=Professional&VideoFileType=FullReplay

Old Bones Racing Stable and Todd Marshall's Prince Earl found a seam in a wall of horses on the Del Mar turf to upset the $201,755 Del Mar Mile Handicap (G2T) Aug. 18. The score was his first stakes victory. View the full article

Ole Nielsen's Explode made the 90th edition of the CA$250,000 Canadian Derby (G3) at Century Mile one to remember Aug. 18. The gelding was promoted to first following aninquiry which upheld a claim of foul lodged against Journeyman in the stretch.  View the full article

they waffle on about this carbon neutral garbage in about 30 years time when all these politicians will be well retired and living off our generosity with their government supers....... but how can you be taken seriously when you exclude 50% of our so called emissions??? (agriculture)  be bloody easy too say by 2020 we will be crime free........... but we will exclude assault charges murder charges fraud and theft and drug charges from the crime statistics......... the whole thing is nothing more than waffle and fairy tales and some swallow it hook line and sinker.......... we stop oil and gas here but no doubt at some stage we will be importing oil and gas from other countries makes no sense.........

Well summed up.NZ under this mob happy to export coal and use it to heat hospitals and schools but then want to say they are looking after environment and meeting Paris accord obligations. Hypocrites who want to stuff the economy in pursuit of some wild dream that NZ has absolutely no control over given the percentage we contribute to world emissions.   Greg

They have signed up to the Paris Agreement. So the target is to reduce emissions by 30% below 2005 levels by 2030. The difference between the Nats and the COL is that the Nats don't want to f..k the economy at the same time so they are taking a measured approach to the targets. All in all if China,India and most of Asia don't give a rats then anything NZ does will mean nothing.

Yes you are right. I’ve met Hawke a few times and he was certainly a Crown Prince when it comes to leading a Nation. Visionary and a doer for sure. Backed by some very good people like Keating. John Howard was another doer. Unfortunately, Rudd, Gillard and the soufflé Turnbull were hopeless. Morrison is showing signs of positive action without spending it all at once on hopeless Leftie wasteful ideas. Helen Clarke was ok and I had discussions with her on several topics. She seemed quite a reasonable in touch person and did some good. Key was there at the right time backed by English - a competent Treasurer. But Ardern? Not much to show, full of Leftie ideas but no real idea. Time will tell. Unfortunately, people like Flockofewes are one-sided in their opinions and can’t see any other way than their leftish/labour bias. It wouldn’t matter if NZ struck oil and all medical, education, etc was free! He would still find something to bitch about - unless of course the Oil Strike was during a Labour term!(Now impossible following their stupid ban to oil exploration. It won’t be long (if the loonie Greens get their way) before the beautiful NZ countryside is covered (disfigured) in wind turbines, something every tourist to NZ will marvel at. Imagine stopping on the high point of the Desert Road to take the great photo of the trio of great volcanoes only to find 500 wind turbines in your photo. Believe me it will happen if they get the opportunity. Altho nuclear is a big power source in France, one only has to drive and you’ll see hundreds of them! Fortunately for NZ it won’t happen under Ardern. 

Because it’s from you, and you’re obviously a fuckwit with no experience as a licensee, or doing anything useful in racing......

Nice one CT,  Mystic Journey was the only official bet I had on the day (a tad smaller than yours). I say 'official', because I went to the pub to keep my Guinness '100 Club' numbers ticking along, and had Taurus to win at Otaki through one of those bloody annoying machines - luckily it was all the cash I had on me... I've also backed Neufbosc (via Sportsbet) In the Melbourne Cup at $81, now into $67 after a solid run in MJ's race - always nice to have a long term interest.
