No, that's not correct. Berri had an Exercise-undiced pulmonary hemorrage, it was an internal hemorrage and is different to a bleeding attack where there is bleeding in the nostrils.
I'm picking the weird house plus the "impediment" rather than "asset" of harness facilities in a twilight industry, ruled by a few, will deflate the sale price. Time will tell but JMO.🍋
Aha - in the small print in v3 of the conditions is the reason the principle breeder misses out. As the mare is a 5yo, it is likely that the breeding entity (the group of people listed) for Baltimore Jill hasn't bred anything within the last 5 years. Yes it does seem unfair that the very people that go to the effort to get additional people into owning and breeding Standardbreds are excluded from both schemes.
I think the draw works in her favor in this instance , we have seen how electric she is when sat back for the one final sprint , Cylinder drawing one and the evening of the weights will make it tough for him but he is very smart , I would say Queman with his pattern but WFA doesn't help him .
I think if she is at her best after her little setback and the race is run honestly then can't see her beaten , might get a nice price to .
That's a fair and constructive critical question Pak Star. The answer is no. It's a primarily time and ability based assessment of chance which includes a number of other factors such as readiness and race and track condition suitability but NOT barrier draw. Similar to what Daniel O'Sullivan uses above in his assessment of Mr. Brightside but not the same.
It's the training track that's produced both pacing and trotting champions and now Lavros Lodge just outside Christchurch is officially on the market.
Owner and prominent Christchurch business leader Kypros Kotzikas has decided to put the substantial Yaldhurst property up for sale.
"I hope that it attracts some interest," he says, "but it's early days and it may take some time."

Out of interest, what was the factor that determined its relative chance to win?
If its the tote price, then one could argue that the tote and betting public have already factored in its barrier, thus the best horse in the field who may otherwise be the favourite, suddenly draws barrier 16 and becomes the 5th favourite, and subsequently finishes 5th, then the data may appear that the barrier had no effect on the result because the 5th best horse according to the tote ended up finishing 5th as it "should". Whereas in reality it was probably the best horse in the field finishing 5th but tripped up by the barrier daw.
Rue de Royale it is then Pete…..
Then again…..
