The Inters at Auckland in that era was probably the biggest collection of great horses racing at one time.
I'm not sure what they collectively would total in stake earnings converted to todays terms, but it would be staggering.
Sadly the Inters aren't what they used to be 😪
The Major winning tonight in Queensland too Majorman.
MAJOR HOT striding to a big victory in the Queensland Derby. One of only 2 NZers who got some ''Winter rewards by turning up for the Constellations.
Trained here by Canterbury Trainers David and Stacey White to a big Group 1 win after having some bad luck with their trotter BET N WIN , who missed a start in the Big Group 1 trot with injury after winning the lead-up race.
The 2 year old slot race just went off in a touch over 1.50 for the mile. Absolutely flying for young horses. Leap To Fame's Grant Dixon taking the victory for hometown with his next possible Superstar in FATE AWAITS..
You wouldn't think so the way Trumpet campaigned on it in 2016.
At least never finishing it means he can't say "I built the biggest a nicest wall anybody has ever seen"
R6 at Riccarton yesterday R75 race over 1200m. Same $17,000 stake as the Maidens. The 10 starters had won 48 races between them including veteran King Cougar who had won 11 races. Absolutely farcical situation. No trickle down from the largesse at the top end.
Right back at you sir. That was hilarious. Had 5 bets all day, nothing doing, until 10 e/w on Chequerboard in the last at Randwick, 12s on B365. Saved my personal bacon and helped us sneak past our illustrious competion.
On we roll....;)
I am having a little old ladies small bet on the King George.
Middle Earth each way.

Its sire died at Cambridge Stud, one of the closest studs to Hobbiton.
Points/$$$$ earned in week 2
Have to feel for Aaron and Foxmerts who put up great scores but ran into a team in form. The beauty (or not?) of matchplay.
Apologies - typo on my part. I entered 3-13 and with the scratching of 13 I gave you the sub #6.
Result above corrected to reflect the winner - made a big difference to the result of your match.
Apologies also to Seddon and Arjay for getting their hopes up.
