You may be right Ohokason - but I have an open mind. As I’ve said before, The Donald is pissing the Dems off big time because he won’t dance to their tune and whatever one thinks of him ( and I think he’s a moron), he’s exposing a lot of the “establishment” and they don’t like it. He’s going to win the nxt election, mainly because he’s doing what he said he would do when he was elected. Build the Wall, take on the trade imbalance with China etc, get Europe to pay their NATO fair share, pull out of that farcical Paris Accord, and above all, Drain the Swamp! The Dems can’t handle him and they’ve got so much corruption around them, he’s having a ball exposing it. I don’t like him as a person but Jeez- he has the hide of a Rhino!!2 points

The Good, Bad, and Ugly
ivanthegreat reacted to Spikecity for a topic
Outstanding efforts by - Ultimate Sniper (or as Aaron called him The Fixer), Winterfeii, A G's Whitesocks (where did that improvement come from?) Pass marks - Auckland Reator, Massive Metro, Mach Shard, Ashley Locaz, Marcoola, Majestic Man (big change around from his last few starts - looks back to his best again), Cruz Bromac, The Fixer (a lot better than his cup week), Star Galleria. Ugly - Bling it on (probably should just say all the aussies), Classie Brigade (didn't get the best of runs though), Tough Monarch, Our Uncle Sam (Let's leave AGH in the stand), Habibi Inta (how did he ever win the Dominion - raced lengths behind the others in previous races leading up to the Dominion), Aaron White - called worse than Bling It On raced - Called Ultimate Sniper the The Fixer until they turned for home, had Valloria improving around the feild when it was actually Massive Metro, failed to call Majestic Man running on until they crossed the line (head and nose finish), missed Another Masterpiece galloping for about 100M. This is not casual friday night at the ATC Aaron , this was broadcast live in Australia as well - I bet the aussues watching were confused or thinking WTF (I was thinking the later)1 point -

Is there any chance to know when he is on trackside so I can refuse to bet that day ?1 point -
Lloyd poor crowd when u think of days gone by.shame. good facilities good fields good food big screen terrific.the gate to the stand was locked till about 4pm.no one heard of happy hour..it reminds me of a lot of my school reports has potential but must try harder. Overall a pass mark.biggest disappointment was the woeful efforts of most of the Aussies. No gammalites popular arms steel jaws .is it like the warriors poor recruitment. ??. Mark and Barry purdon dominant.both amazing trainers. Good to see a junior race on such a big stage.brad Williamson boy is he a talent.1 point

Paramount King - sure, got the trip but went faster than Winterfell. Back up Tuesday will tell a lot with these guys, both of which can be curates eggish. Draws crucial for some down the list - 1700 trip means the pace will be on. Only disappointment was the attendance - still it was inevitable as very little publicity for the carnival in evidence around the city.1 point

This is how NZ racing is now internationally rated
flockofewes2 reacted to Berri for a topic
I disagree. It's all about franking form and that's where the NZTR is shite. You can't do it. One of the more important cornerstones for the industry. It's all about career best efforts and comparing them with other horses having career best efforts.. As for Melody Belle, she's interesting. So where was she before and now. Try this...Her first two starts in Aussie Her win in the Sires Produce was quite good because there are a couple of horses you can frank the international form with. Taking Aim went to Hong Kong after this race. Although Melody Belle beat him, he beat her at their next start. After running 4th in the Danehill (G2), he went to HK where he has won a class 2 but no World beater. Pierata is interesting though, in that his best form is winning the All Aged Stakes beating Osborn Bulls and Seige of Quebec. Osborn Bulls best win was in a group 2 but he finished 2nd behind Sunlight in the Newmarket. Seige of Quebec's best win was in a Group 3 but ran 3rd in the Toorak. So any rating from this form is around 110. Melody Belle's next crack in Aussie produced the following So her rating could not have improved beyond 110 but take in mind that in Alizee's win, Alizee beat Malaguerra and Hartnel over 1200 (not either of these horses best distance) , so Alizee rated 114 at best. So what about the NZ form...in the Livermol. she beat Peso and Crown Prosecutor. Peso's best win is a listed race and Crown Prosecutor (CP) since winning the Derby was beaten 12 len by The Autumn Sun. He was rated 120 so CP rated 108 on Aussie run. Hasn't won since. So now yo9u get to Melody Belles best race, probably the Empire Rose beating Aristia. Aristia's best win was in the Oaks beating Greysful Glamour. Her best win was in the Oaks Trial (L). So the win over Aristia wasn't special. So to the final start...the real form frank of her career, the McKinnon. She was beaten by Magic Wand, who is a 3 win from 21 starts filly. Yes she's smart but she was rolled by the likes of Magical, Enable and Sea of Class whenever she met them. She was rated 112 and she beat Melody Belle after having run in the Melbourne Cup and Cox Plate. So where does Melody Belle fit? Well she's no better than Magic Wand on 114. Then frank the NZ form. If she is rated 114, then Catalyst is rated 110 but I would put a "p" after that rating to express that it should improve. You've got to get rid of the emotion and face up to reality...1 point -

Can you race in this bridle
ivanthegreat reacted to rosie one for a topic
Wow!!! Rode the reactive lad for the first time this morning in the above bridle with a rubber coated snaffle bit. I got off him and doubled check if it was the same horse. It's taken a few weeks to work him out with just the basics and discovered the lighter the bridle gear on him the better he went. What a kind comfortable bridle and gives the right control needed. I'm a happy little camper.1 point -
