Great training effort by Ken and Bev Kelso to get Legarto back to winning form today. Her strapper Megan Winter deserves a mention as well. Good team effort.
And fair enough. Just saw some stills off trackside taken between races and I can certainly see from those what it would like if those are all that's being aired🤦♀️
Quie interesting the different perspectives you can get from different positions at the same course isn't it. I must admit, ever since I was a kid at Awapuni I do love a wander further back on the home straight, right on the fence where the thunder of hooves is the loudest sound, and you almost feel like you are in amongst the horses and jockeys yourself. Just something about it.
I was impressed with the public bar out there on the lawn. Great service. Prices not too bad. But that wind was quite cold. I think it was when Courier Bay won the big sprint that I had been there when it was incredibly hot, until the rain came from the north and it pissed down.
I like watching races from the end of the public stand, about 140 metres from the winning post. It gives one a different perspective of races, which can be seen when I watch the replays on My Sky.
Sarti went past me with the race sewn up. That Miss Jones fought harder than I thought she would.
I tipped a mate Ohope Wins and was disappointed to see her stone cold motherless last at the 600. I think that filly might be something extra good. I was told two months ago that she was the best maiden at Wexford Stables. They were right.
Legarto went past me looking a chance. That was a huge and exhausting run of her's and I hope she will be good for 7th March.
Egyptian Queen looked like a minor placegetter as she went past me. The possibility exists that we are seeing Opie Bosson back to his best.
Oh well the on course turnover will tell the story. For many years now the Tauherenikau, Waitangi Day on course turnover has been far greater than Te Rapa Group One day.
