"Van Velden also said tilting the playing field in favour of local operators could breach New Zealand's free trade agreements"... I guess free trade agreements don't apply to Sports/Racing betting.

Stodge, we just read the Dark Angel horse Alflaila is to head downunder for Stud duties at White Robe in the South Island. Do you know much about or have an opinion of him?

thanks and well done to you to Maria

Thanks for the message, and no worries, life comes first and if you can fit the comp in then that is well and good. You haven't been eliminated from the comp just yet. Your path to the final is harder now but you should still throw some picks in this coming Saturday if you can.

They should bring back the rule they had back in the day . If a horse causes another horse to break , they are disqualified regardless if at the start or anytime through a race

Hunter Myers (27) with 2450 wins got thrown from the sulky at The Meadows in a race when the leader (a Pacer) broke stride and caused a chain reaction, he was apparently at the rear of the filed and got thrown from the bike and suffered fatal head injuries. I don't have the video because while it's available I did not want to watch it. His wife posted the video of being wheeled to the OR to harvest his organs. Check out all the trainers and drivers that line the hallway. I have never seen anything like it. It shows what a great guy he was. https://www.facebook.com/reel/957827029800927

I have had quite a few trotters over the years, and if that had been mine having it's first run as a 2YO, I would have been very happy with the result, went a bit wayward at one stage but stayed trotting and showed good speed to finish, the finishing results don't appear to match the video. 2YO trotters have to be very natural in their gait, and the less "gear" the better, the next test will come with more horses in the race, and whether she can cope with that.

Apologies .... Got caught up with another event , congrats to those who made the cut off ... cheers

Considering the margin. Mo'unga racing through on the inside certainly caught the commentator out. He was just about to say DSD was streaking clear and, here comes Mo'unga!! Super impressive by both runners.

When I was in Pukekohe working for Wally Francis he had the equine pool there . Quite often trainers like Harvey Wadham would swim their horses there including Wally's of course . It keeps them off the hard tracks and I reckon gets them fit too . I know it does for us humans

Many 2 year old trotters are extremely fractious, even when trainers feel/hope they are ready to actually go to the races. That's entirely from a watchers point of view, no direct knowledge or experience.

You are a 100%......for goodness sake give it a break...we all know you and your 50 other alter egos hate Ellerslie and Trentham...you been posting pics of it everywhere..go back to your little pool of nothing and let sunroof girl cheer you up...and maybe curious can help out a bit.

I stand corrected if you can point me to where in the annual accounts the expenditure you refer to is listed.nztr-annual-report-2024.pdf

Obviously, you didn't read first comment submitted as it was to maintenance not reconstruction or infrastructure jobs, so read context before being know all

Mo'unga without doubt would have won the race . On the corner Jolimont just kept up enough so Tim couldn't push him out . If Tim had pushed him out and come outside Chase a Dream he would have cruised in . DSD just had the momentum up enough to hold on

I'm surprised you were the only one to mention Mounga locked wheels with Mark at the 100 m mark it may have been a different result had not.

Bob is a good friend of mine has been since school . He has been living in Perth for about 40 years now . Poor Bill passed away quite a while ago . Don't remember Ace was he a junior down there ?
