John Oatham must be the best rider in NZ by a long way surely … otherwise how is it that he’s forever telling the stars like J Mac, Billy Pinn, and whomever else he decides to harass, what they’re doing wrong ??

Shaun Phelan is on Happy Star....so don't worry about who will be riding the rest !

Although supporting races for Wednesdays Grand National hurdles day have most jockeys declared for those supporting races, the only TAB fixed odd's option available is the GN hurdles. Yet there is only one jockey declared for the GN hurdles and he isn't riding one of the Myers runners. I'd like to have a fixed odd's bet on the hurdles, but until I know who is riding each of the Myers hopes I'm not prepared to invest with limited information. Why would the TAB/NZ Racing/CJC (or whoever is in charge of jockey declarations and/or fixed odds betting) post fixed odd's for the days main race with so

She got what she wanted and will be at peace now.

As with the last Olympic Games, the first question asked of all Kiwi Medal winners as soon as they exit the playing patch (Velo, Pool, etc. out of breath ) is "How Does It Feel". Very amateurish in my opinion. How Would you feel just having won - and it probably not even sunk in!! Get a little inventive Kiwi reporters - perhaps interviews should be left until at least the competitor has settled down after possibly their biggest sporting ordeal.

Maybe. I thought he was asking for the full list of amateurs and who we rated the best. You can find the lifetime record for any amateur on the site the same as for any other jockey.

Well here is the course proper that they race on in less than 20 days.

I really thought that was a poor decision relegating Anna Tait. Alpino had the whole straight to pick it up and Anna Tait was stronger through the line I thought.

Taiki Yanagida latest: no change to report in Tiger’s condition after his race fall on Wednesday. He remains in Waikato Hospital ICU with brain and spinal injuries, his mother and sister are with him. Will keep you all updated when appropriate as know plenty are praying for him.

Flat racing on day two of the three day Grand National carnival conducted on the synthetic looks like a benefit for South Island trainers. Kevin Myers doesn't have a horse nominated for flat racing on Wednesday. Myers took three of his team to Cambridge on Wednesday and I hoped that one or two of them would race again on Wednesday after having their first feel of a synthetic track. Myers is a big supporter of Riccarton racing and southern carnival racing in general and once Awapuni's synthetic is available for meetings he will likely have horses racing on the Riccarton synthetic in the future.
