Can someone please explain why Zac Butcher chose to pull of the back of the eventual winner as they turned for home and chase a run down along the rails when it clearly cost him 2 lengths and 3rd place let alone 2nd OR 1st ??? I cant remember whether the winner had any blinds on but the driver of the 4th horse did, PS I didn't have a cent on the outcome.

Clearly has difficulty with the definition of a relationship. Look the fella is a a glorified sports reporter for a newspaper , by default he has become the racing editor for that same paper and look at where it's gone..... on the 2nd biggest day of racing at the MET the paper had fields akin to greyhound form. Clearly suffers from delusions of grandeur as many comments are pretty basic and a background of stablehand jobs certainly doesn't reinforce the " qualifications ", Academia , well lets just say DONT GO THERE. An anecdotal genius he may be.

I'm not suggesting anyone stops using them but they appear to be on a disproportionate number of winners.

My old chestnut this......... How many winners and placegetters at the Jewels will be wearing one ??

Mick , You are the "Editor " for gods sake. Look at the coverage in the Weekend Supplement.................. PATHETIC. You were probably in such a hurry to get to the Koru Club Lounge that you forgot to proof read the coverage for one of the biggest days of the year. You twat. O'h and your picks for Riccarton were so bad I think you were just trying to give us the swerve,

Sir Castleton.............. good effort mate !! Lets discuss Friday re the Bet we have won.

Now he has some real Baggage to handle.

What a fantastic price the Quaddie 1 at Te Rapa paid $2656. With the final Leg being Bobby Dee I thought maybe $700............. so how come you might say. Well how much dough went down the swannie through the best horses in the jumpers races 2 , 4 "......... watching the dreaded handicapper ". Same thing happens every year as we lead up to the major jumps carnivals. There are some exceptions when rehandicaping wont be an issue but they are few and far between. Surely there is a better system as we all know weight will stop a train.

I note the Cup this year is worth A$120k = NZ$129K No doubt the track will be Hard and Fast ? There are 8 races today 5 for A$27.2K ( NZ$29K ) , 2 for A$32.6K + ( NZ$35K ) and the Cup which is as above. NOT BAD MONEY I THOUGHT.
