As documented she is out in the paddock having a spell with a plan in place for where she is going to go next. Richie has pulled her out of the Oaks and Derby believing at this stage that 2000 or more is a step to far early in her career. They had to try she was showing she maybe able to do it but these things happen.
I notice that Richie has been at the Inglis sales in Sydney and picked up 3 well bred yearlings at what i would say very good prices one especially he couldn't pass up was a Foxwedge filly for approximately half the price he paid for Velope Veloche so it will be interesting to see how she goes i am one who will follow with interest

I'm thinking hes hung his best mate Mcullum out to dry by not buying a horse with his Vermair syndications ha ha ha
-
Allan did mention he was going to leave his stable in NZ going operate it as a sattelite stable but obviously with fewer horses but Victoria is where he see's his future
-
It was corrected by the TAB trackside presenter Bevan Sweeny just before the start of the next race he confirmed it was 1.51

I were personally going to go to a syndicator a few years back and looked at the options and to be honest once waying it all up cost, communication and say in the horse I looked at it as alot of associated costs for a lessor return. I am not knocking them as they have a place in the industry.
What i did do was spoke to some trainers and discussed options I settled on Graham Richardson zero mark up on horses and zero syndication fees so what you get is training fee, Vet account , Pre training account and Transport account with no mark up .As for communication we get weekly updates with in more cases than not video of the horses and he is always able to talk and discuss about the horses .
Now that might not be everyones cup of tea but it works for me

Have you guys watched the replay at all? I watched it again just now and he hardly touched the other horse at the top of the straight - good jockeys take those gaps all the time. Yes he ran around a bit after that but I doubt that No Wahalla would have run a placing even without being hampered, and certainly wouldn't have beaten the winner.
Reprimand seems like the right response to the ride.
Also right to reprimand Sam Weatherly for steadying the pace so dramatically around the 1000m mark. I backed him later in the day on She'sTooHotToTrot (so yes my wallet talking) and he still has a bit to learn. In its last three starts this horse has drawn 4, 6 and 5 and he's managed to have it three wide on all three occasions and its been beaten less than a length on each occasion. If it sees the rail at any point it will win a race.
I have watched it several times I suppose i am looking at consistency in there rulings of late Danielle Johnson for example thats probably my only gripe

Attacked a gap that was marginal on a cucumber then allowed the horse to shift in costing no wahalla a certain place div? All good
Thats how i read it as well but thats my opinion
-
spoke to shareholder of winner they celebrated twice one for win and second for Opie the talk was he was gone by the connections . In my opinion he got a early December 25 2017 present not even a warning listed against him on report at the top of page .

From missing the start and almost falling HIFLYER was to me best run of day

I'd have thought they wouldn't do much, the horse was very raw, legs all over the place, head high......anyway it's all of no great moment because the most significant event in that race was the run of the second horse, Jake The Muss.
Get on him next time, and get even more on when he gets a trip.
Agree with you about Jake the Muss huge run
-
I just watched Tavidream win for the Logan Stable at Ruakaka this is what i felt. Now i'll start by saying the horse was worked up sweating like a pig and ran greenly and won easily BUT turning for home Opie steered him out to make a gap hitting another horse in doing so . Now worse was to come up the straight but i don't blame Opie for that the horse was as green as a cucumber and nearly took out Sam Whetherley's mount . Even Chris Gibbs said in interview after when asked where to next for this horse his comment was well we will have to see how long Opie will be on holiday after that ride
What are your thoughts fellow cafers was it enough to get a holiday and if he does will he miss Wellington next weekend like Coleman , Johnson etc
-
The way i look at it is this i study form and punt on my picks sometimes successful sometimes not but i have know one else to blame but myself and to be honest apart from the trackside presenters getting the oil on horses from trainers we are almost privvy to everything they have Statistics , video , form guide , I say grow some goolies and have ago yourself and don't blame anyone else and to put it another way you fill the betting slip in either online or at the TAB so your the one who should take the blame

On another issue with name pronunciation Brendan Popperwell calling the horse trained by Graham Richardson TRIPTRONIC on several occasions the horses name is TIPTRONIC and its correctly written in the raceday book
